Double click in the zip/rar to descompress the files. You'll get the Package files and read me from us.
Place objects, skins, walls and floors on the following path: "C:\Documents and Settings\**Your computer**\ My documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads". If you don't have a Downloads folder you can create one. You can put objects at subfolders within your Downloads folder but you CAN'T do this for skins. Skins must be at Downloads folder.
You've mentioned CEP what's this ?
CEP means Color Enabled Package and it's used to "allow" most of Maxis game pieces that originally cannot be clonable and recolourable to be clonable and recolourable. Recolors based on CEP only will work with CEP installed and it's because the CEP is required. CEP can be downloaded here. Thanks Numenor, Quaxi and RGiles:)
I've downloaded some skins but they look different on my game !
If they are looking worst it's probably because your game settings are running under less quality graphics. Our TS2 skins are made with bump maps, which gives a great increase in the clothe's final look but to take advantage of bump map feature, you'll need to manually set your game's graphical options adjusting them to higher configuration. Even if you actually play with game's config at high and bumps are not showing maybe your graphics card does not support Bump Maps ( that's what makes all difference when working with skins ) please read this post at Mod The sims2 forum. It's a great source to enable bump maps to graphics cards that aren't displaying bumps correctly.
I am experiencing crashes!
OK I know that's not a good advice.... but if you're having crashes, just delete the object. Many reasons can cause a game crash, since object ID conflict until the lack of the required expansion pack to that object... So, it's trully important you make sure to have the right exp pack to run the sets we offer.
What Expansion Packs do you own ?
The meshers WhiteShark & Lav own OFB and Seasons but our tester Tata works with the original base game ( TS2 ) so the SIMcredible objects don't require EP until otherwise stated.
SIMcredible is File share friendly, but what's this ?
This means that you can share our FREE files with your friends at any sims file share forum, using the e-mail . This is useful to help a site to save some bandwidth ( data transfer ) and also to help some visitors that couldn't get the files.
To know more about how it works, click here Anyway, it's important you be very aware about these simple rules:
We DON'T allow the use/upload of our stuff in any other site/forum/e-group/FTP. The only way you can share our Free downloads is through e-mail. We DON'T allow you to share our donation files.
Can I upload/redistrubute your files at my web site, FTP, forum or e-group ?
Of course no! You must put your own work, not ours. You can use our FREE object bases to make a recolor/retexture but never offer our files, our work as yours. Redistribution of our original files is not allowed!
Can I upload your TS2 stuff to offer on my lots/houses ?
Sorry but no... You are not allowed to re-distribute our downloads with your lots/houses. The only way to get our downloads is directly from our site. If you are not able to enter our pages, please report it at our forum or ask for any FREE SIMcredible download in the sims forums where the file share feature is available.
Can I clone or recolor your stuff ?
Cloning our TS2 content is not allowed, since we don't offer bases But you are more than welcome to recolor/retexture our stuff. Don't forget to provide a link back as credit to simcredibledesigns.com
Can I offer recolors of your free objects at TSR ?
If you are not a featured artist it's OK, cause it will be for free :)
Can I use your graphics ?
No... you should make yours and show us your talent!
You are now offering rar file. What's this ?
Rar Files are similar to zips. Just another program/format to compress files with a good compression. You can download WinRar here to open Rar Files. It's a Free trial version.
I'm having problems with some zip/rar files. It seems that it comes corrupted...or even empty... ?
We can guarantee that we've tested all zips & rar files, uploading them to our host and downloading them back to check, as we always do in update days. Making this, we can guarantee that all zips/rar we offer aren't corrupted or empty. What happens is that sometimes you try to donwload in a busy time where many people are downloading too, Other reason to cause this is use slow web connections. ( I can assure it's a pain! since I am dial up user...) To avoid this try to download the file in different times, to not have so much traffic in the pages or even you can ask for the file ( if it is FREE ) using the file share way.
But I don't know how to ask a file at sims forums...Please explain me!
But is it not possible you send me the files I need ?
Sorry, we can't. We are poor free dial up users, and our time in web is quite small... basically to do updates and check forums. Anyway, there're lots of kind people ready to help in many sims forums. It's just apply for membership.
Do you accept requests ?
To be honest, no. However, you are free to express your opinion at our Guestbook or forum.
Anyway there's no guarantee that we will take note. Sorry...
Do your objects work in a Mac ?
Sorry... we don't know. All our objects have been tested and work fine in our pcs. None of SIMcredible! staff member has a Mac; so... we don't have how to say the behaviour of our creations in Mac's...
Can we be affiliated sites or make links exchange ?
SIMcredible doesn't work with sites affiliation, sorry. About links exchange, our links section will not be updated. It's just a small collection of sites we enjoy:)
I've sent you an e-mail, but until now, I didn't get any reply !
Sorry, we don't reply e-mails... we even don't open them...
After lots of viruses and spywares troubles & expenses, we adopted this policy. All questions, comments, doubts, problems and issues must be solved at our Support forum. You are more than welcome there, and we'll be ready to help! :)
Big doubts regarding donations files, PayPal etc... Help!
First thanks for your interest in support our site :) Well, to solve these and other donation related questions we created a special mini FAQ to solve all donation related troubles. Please go here .
I donated but there's no download page! How can I be receiving my files ?
SIMcredible! doesn't work with downloads page or link page. You will be receiving your files through e-mail ( the same e-mail you use for your PayPal account. ) So it's a good idea to keep your info at PayPal updated ;)
