[TS4] How to Install Sims & Lots
In The Sims 4, there is a folder called Tray for lots and Sims. It is located in:
Windows XP: Documents and Settings\(Your User Account)\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Tray
Windows Vista, Windows 7/8, Mac: Users\(Your User Account)\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Tray
Lots and Sims use several different types of files. Both use a type known as .trayitem . Lots also use .blueprint and .bpi files, while Sims use .hhi, .sgi and .householdbinary files. These files can be installed by extracting them from the archive file they are in, and placing them in the Tray folder; there is no need to do anything else to them.
You must unzip the file and place only the tray items in your tray, not the zip file.
Once you have placed them there, you should be able to find the Sims or Lots in ''My Library'' in the game once you launch it.
[TS4]How to Install .Package Files
In The Sims 4, there are two custom content folders: Tray for lots and Sims, and Mods for other content. Both of these folders are located in:
Windows XP: Documents and Settings\(Your User Account)\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\
Windows Vista, Windows 7/8, Mac: Users\(Your User Account)\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\
When you download Custom content for your game, this comes in .Package files.
All custom content in Package files need to be placed in the Sims 4 Mods folder.
The Mods folder may contain sub-folders. If the Mods folder does not exist, it can be created manually. The Mods folder will contain a file named resource.cfg . If it is deleted, the game should recreate it.
