Update: March 2, 2005:   I finally got around to filling my kid advisor requests for some 'not boring' groovy and bold and bright walls and floors and some glass block tiles in traffic light bright and pretty pastel colors. Find them in interiors 3 and in the egroup. New bedding is in newer objects, and this moss bog that looks better in game and some vegitation terrains. Remember to use them like paint, a little of this and a little of that to blend and make the groundcover. 03-01-05: More bedding and coordinating walls, floors at egroup Elstone Sims 2 Designs Egroup Old files are file share ok.

LINKS and INFORMATION The official Sims 2 site    FAQ's, Bulletin Boards for help on custom content and troubleshooting. WINRAR    Program to decompress .rar and .zip files and help using it. WINZIP A program that decompresses .zip files. Neighborhood 99 bboard, friendly skilled people with suggestions and hints on Sims 1 and 2. It is where I go when I don't understand how to do things! And they have a file-share friendly section. 1. Houses with no hacks or downloads included are found on the Sims Exchange, search for Elstone001. They are up only for 3 weeks or so unless rated by visitors. 2. Credit for expanded Screenshots of Neighborhood Terrains goes to Mod The Sims 2. 1. TO DOWNLOAD: Click the picture or link, when a box opens, click on save and download to your desktop or a folder you use for holding downloads. 2. Use WINRAR, or EXTRACT NOW (WINXIP if zip file) to extract the file downloaded. Follow the program directions. Sometimes a download gets interrupted or stopped by a net thingy I don't understand before it gets done. When you try to open the file, it will say it is a BAD ZIP OR RAR FILE. YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD AGAIN and overwrite the bad file. 3. Put genetic and makeup files ending with .package here, no subfolders. Body Shop and Game must not be running. When you start it up again, the new files should be ready to use. Delete things you do not want in the build a sims mode of Body Shop. 4. Put the 4 Terrain files ending in .png and .sc4 here, no subdirectories. Game and bodyshop must not be running. When game is started, the new terrain should be ready to use. 5. Lots come in self extracting .sim2pack files. Make sure the game is not running. Put the .sim2pack file in the packaged lots folder. Doubleclick the .sim2pack file to put the lot files in the teleport folder. Start the game and it will move the lot into the lot bin, you can look there to make sure it installed.. Install ONLY ONE AT A TIME. Close the game, look in the teleport folder, if a game bug has left any files in there, delete them. Repeat process for each lot 6. Walls and floors and if I ever get nerve to post BETA furniture recolors: make an elstone folder and put all the package files into it.
