I had alot of trouble with doing this too but i've finally got the hang of it, since you are new to it, i'll explain it really simply, step by step. Not cos i think you wont get it, it's just i know i needed very simple baby steps when i was learning how to download.
Ok first you need to make 2 "Downloads folders", one for the actual files that you will put in your games, and one to just download the origionals to so you can sort them out.
Step 1 - On your computer desktop background, make a new folder. Click your right mouse button, press new, then folder. It will put a new folder on to your desktop, then you can name it something like "Sims Downloads".
Step 2 - Go to Start menu on your desktop, then Search. In the search bit, type in EA Games.
Click on Sims 2, then click on your right mouse button again to make a new folder and call it "Downloads".
Now you are ready to download things.
Go to a Sims 2 downloading website, for example Parsimonious [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Step 3 - Right click on the object you want to download, and click "Save target as", save it to the downloads folder you made on your desktop.
Once it's downloaded,open the folder.
Step 4- Right click on the new file that you have just downloaded (it should look like some books stacked up), click on "Extact here".
Step 5- Right click on the files that were just extracted (they should look like white pages of paper), click on copy and paste them into the downloads folder you made in EA Games/Sims 2.
They will now show up automaticly in your games, so if you download a sofa, it will show up in the sofa section when you are furnishing your house.
If you download hair or clothing, they will show up when you are making your sims.
*personally, i wouldnt recomend downloading "houses or lots", they have messed up my game alot in the past, so much that ive had to uninstall the whole thing and start again.
These are the websites i use;
