Downloading for Fracking Idiots

Installing Sims 2 Custom Content

How do you install custom content for the Sims 2? This guide will show you how to do it, step-by-step.

But there's so much to it!

Yes, content for the Sims 2 is fairly complicated... but if you follow this guide and read everything carefully, you should be using your new content in no time!

But I actually know what I'm doing...

Do you? Do you really? If you are good with computers, there is a short version of this FAQ. No nonsense, no coddling, just the facts. Read it here: Downloading for Fracking Geniuses.

"Downloading for Fracking Idiots"?

Yeah, I know the name's a bit strange. We had Downloading for Dummies and it just wasn't simple enough, so... this is the rewritten version. Why fracking? Because the new Battlestar Galactica rules of course!

Anyway, the title's not meant to be offensive, just a bit silly.

Just how stupid do you think I am?

Very! This guide assumes you know how to click a mouse and install programs (you installed the game, right?). However, it will explain everything else in the simplest language possible. If you are confused about something, reread this guide several times. It really can't be explained any simpler than this!
