Downloads not there?

[Pilot]

Hey, i just started playing again and i really love some of the sims you guys have. Anyway, you all inspired me to download some new hair and clothes etc. (in fact, if someone could give me links to cool sites that have 'emo' clothing and hair i would be really grateful) but I've followed all of the instructions and the downloads don't seem to work. I unzipped them all (meshes and everything) into sims2/downloads but i can't see them in my game. I'm maybe checking the wrong place? I'm just going to the create a family area but there are no new hair or clothes or anything - is this not the place where they appear? Here's a screenshot of where i've put the files:

I would be SO grateful of help, thanks guys =)

you have to put them into mydocuments/eagames/thesims2/downloads
not the one under program files:)
once you do that, they should work!

Oh wow - I'm stunned that I could actually be -THAT- stupid! Thankyou so much! And I'm so sorry for my ignorance *hugs* I'm so grateful! Thanks <3

I asked someone before the first time I ever downloaded something;)

It's an unbelievably common mistake, you're not dumb!

Oh, and modthesims2 has lots of emo stuff, they're awesome <3

um, yeah, I didn't notice you had asked for links.

My absolute favorite is 66Sims; also check out under their links at the top there's their 'sale site', which has all the old stuff since they just moved.

My simpage is here and if you look in my blog I have a huge list of what sites I've gotten cc from, a lot of which have emo stuff:)

Thanks so much! You've been such a great help =) I should probably have asked first - but that would have been waaay too sensible XD
