Cleaning your lot with Sims 2 Clean Pack Installer Open your lot in Sims 2 Clean Pack Installer Open the folder My Documents EA Games The Sims 2 PackagedLots and locate your lot. Packaging and submitting clean lots at TSR Submitting your lot at The Sims Resource,.
It doesn't seem to work for me. It'll load the package and it's contents but when I go into the game the house doesn't appear. I thought at first it was because wasn't selecting the family that goes with the house but even when selecting everything in the package it didn't show up. I'm testing this on my own houses so I know it's not just the houses from other countries don't work problem.
Could it be the fact that my game isn't installed to the default directory that's causing this? The lot shows up with unknown for a description if that has anything to do with it. It looks like it's going to be a great program once I can get it to work.
Phervers 22nd Nov 2004 9:46 PM. Ohh, this is just SO GREAT!!!.thumbs up. I have just tried it out (I downloaded the.NET framework too) and it seemed to work great, I download a lot of sims from the Exchange and often I only want a piece but have to download and istall the whole sim. I compared the files in this program with the files that are named at the Exchange and assumed that it would be in the same order.;-) In this case I wanted the hair, so I unchecked all except for that file and voila - the hair is installed in the game!!:-D Maybe I was just lucky.LOL. But I also have a big problem. Looked at one of my lots and there are several unknown objects.:-( How could I found out what it is.? Darkmoon 22nd Nov 2004 9:58 PM.
Here is a new tool for those who download a lot of custom content. Hi phervers, A very good idea. And a very good idea, to code the hacks as textfiles. But it didn't work for me. I have net (for SimPE and working) on my WIN98 SE system. After installing it has associated the Sims2Pack with your programm, but it can't be found, even when I choose the folder. I renamed both folder and prog to SPCI, left click on Sims2Pack and chose open with and assigned SPCI to it.
Now it starts, but the interface is empty. I clicked install anyway and the app crashed.Gonmag BitzyBus 22nd Nov 2004 10:08 PM. Hey Thomas thanks for feedback, if there is no confirmation that Files successfully installed then try to donwload again. If it's not the case you could try to watch your Teleport folder while installing your packages. It is in My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Teleport If no files appear there something must be wrong. It's hard to tell anything without more information.
I get the files installed successfully message and 6 new files appeared in my teleport folder dated with the time and date. There were 6 files 5 Sims2tmp files and 1 Sims2import file. After I ran the game to check to see if the house was there, the Sims2import file vanished. Since other people seem to not be having problems with it and I'm assuming they're using the the default directory. I'm gonna try doing an uninstall/reinstall later on to see if that fixes my problems.
DawnKeeper 22nd Nov 2004 10:22 PM. Well there's a bug with houses showing up anyhow. I sometimes have to install them 4 or 5 times before they show up in the lots bin and I always have to install them one at a time, go in the game and check if it's there, etc or else most won't show up.
This is a great program. I've been looking throughall the lots I downloaded and am quite shocked how much extra stuff is has stowed away with the file. I think this whole sims2pack business was a bad idea. I want direct access to my files and to know what is being put where. If it's not to much trouble, Phervers do you think you could add a feature to extract the selected files to a specified directory and maybe a feature to delete package files from a sims2pack or to repack them with only the package files we select?
Phervers 22nd Nov 2004 10:46 PM. Thomas: that looks like if the pack you are trying to install is already installed, or or i dont know, if u could try to install it with default installer, and compare files, or just send me this package to [email protected]. DawnKeeper: well it depends, it should install, but if it's some kind of object like alienware your game might just crash when installing game. Though it seems that such objects are ObjectModeResource, erm just try Everyone: i messed up again, stupid C# builder removed all my events, so you will have to download that again to see file name and description for individual files.

Hi All, I have come up against a problem with Sims2Pack Clean Installer in that it will install and it does work to install lots but then some lots are missing in game and I have noticed it will allow duplicate CC that are attached to lots already downloaded which it did not do before? If a lot was already installed in my game the program would inform me and also ask if I wanted to overwrite any CC I was downloading that I already had in game. I then noticed on the info page that I need.NET Framework 2.0 so I have searched for the correct version of that and tried to install it but keep getting an error stating you must use Turn Windows features on or off in the control panel to install or configure Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 SP1 I have gone into turn windows on/off control panel but I cannot see anything that may need turning on or off relating to the downloading 2.0 NETFramework and I don' want to start clicking things and mess anything up.
So I am stuck and wondering how to get framework downloaded so I can try the clean installer again so any advice on this matter will be gratefully recieved. Could someone back track their clean installer installation for me please to see which folder and files it auto installed into as I found the following info and tried it and still did not right the problems for me. Clean Installer doesn't know about UC, so you have to tell it to install sims and lots in the Ultimate Collection folder.
