Question Posted Friday December 28 2007, 9:21 am

hey! So I've been looking online for free downloads for my Sims 2 game. and I found this really cute bedroom set. But its a zipped file, and I don't know how to unzip it and put it into my game. I know you have to use WinZip or sumthing? but ANY ANY ANY help would be useful! Please help!

Doubleclick the file. If it is a normal zip file, a window will open with all of the contents. I don't know what you do with these. I would guess that you copy them to C:program fileea gamesthe sims.

If it is not a normal zip file, then you need 7-zip(or winzip or winrar) to open it. You can download it here:

After you install it, right click the zip file and go to 7-zip, extract here.

Go to Start > My Computer > My Documents. [wherever the zipped file is saved]. Find the zipped file [that looks like the folder], and click ONCE on it. Look to your left, in the small box titled 'File and Folder Tasks'. There should be an option to extract it. Click it. A window should come up, wait for about a minute, and your files should be 'unzipped'. THAT'S when you should copy it to your Sims 2 folder.

Hope that helped, if you still need further assistance, don't hesitate to drop by my inbox.
