Did you download Sim the game? Or some add-on to the game?

Also, is what you dl'd a CD/iso/mdx image? If you don't know what those are, look in the directory of the unzipped files. Are there many files? or only a few? If few, what are the extensions of the files (i.e. *.iso; .bin; .mdx?). If this is the case, you will need to get a CD emulator, like Daemon tools, which basically creates a virtual cd-rom player that runs a virtual cd (the image files), at which point you can run the install or setup file, as if you were install from a CDrom.

If there are many files, there's probably a setup.exe file, in which case, you won't have to move any files. You can just run the setup utility from where it is, and it will install the game to a default location.

If this is an add-on; is it an official add-on? or did someone else create it, like a "mod-er?"
If it's official, you may have to figure out if it's an image. If it's a mod, let me know.
