I downloaded Chunli skin from the Astral Sims site but it came in 2 parts; a 'ALZ File' and a 'A00 File'. Any idea what to do with them now?
I can provide a link if need be.


thanks

If you have a problem with a skin from another site, you might want to check at that site. Andyes, if you get no response, it's usually because nobody knows. Your information was a little vague.

An ALZ file is a compressed file. You should be able to open it with WINRAR. Once you double click on the ALZ file to open it the software will also automatically open the A00 file or the A01 file or whatever else is there.

The site is in Japanese.. or maybe Chinese.. regardless I cant read their language.

Winrar didnt seem to like it. I think Ive traced the file extensions to here; http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=a00
Missing an .exe file perhaps..

I tested two files on the site and one opened with WinRar and had the ALZ extension but the one you linked to did not.

Try this program: http://www.altools.net/Default.aspx?tabid=53&alzip=front

There's a trick to making this work. The a00 file has been given an incorrect name. You have to rename the a00 file to have the same name as the ALZ file. I got the package to open and it looks fine.

That person has a lot of fun Sims on his/her site. Thanks for the link.

Thanks very much for that. You were right, it did take a bit of work but I finally got it. :)
