However, there is an alternative. You can download these fake cars for decoration: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthre...&highlight=cars

Nightlife not required! By the way, thanks. Carwahses are quite interesting! 5 stars! :salute:

I think he meant "owning cars when in the campus" well, I never had a car while my sims were on campus.. so I don't know.... Thanks Bino Maus, very interesting.

Hmmmm....

Well I downloaded it earlier and put it in my game. Except I can't find it anywheres. I looked in all the categories in both buy & build mode in both residential and community lots. Doesn't show up. Yes I know it's a Sims2Pack like lots and I double clicked on it and it said it was installed successfully. So I didn't unzip it to my downloads folder like .packages. So could you please tell me how many pieces I'm expected to find and in which category (ie: decorative availabe in residential only and/or community lots only or both) please? Would love to find it, because that's one of the things I'd love to have in my play game.

@ netseeker2: the package contains 6 Objects, they will be installed in the Download - Section of the Sims 2 on the C-Drive. Use the search-tool and look after carwash.


@ cars: yeah, sorry it was my fault, you need nightlife for the standard cars, thanks Sim Master for your posting!

Hi Bino,

I know where the Sims2Pack files install to. That's not my question. My question was where do I find them in game? Which section of the catalog?

And since it's a Sims2Pack how is it going to install as carwash filename anything? Wouldn't it install as a hash number filename? I looked in my downloads directory and there is nothing there called "carwash", but then I wasn't expecting anything of that name to be there since it's a Sims2Pack file, which habitually installs everything with just hash numbers except homecrafter material.

ok...

you'll find the objects in the building mode -> columns

I looked there and there's no carwash pieces, what is there is a bunch of items from Brasstex, some of HChangeris stuff, Maxis columns and other round pieces (white) that have been in my game forever (which I don't remember who made them). That's in the single story column section in the multiple story column section there's just columns no other objects. And I've installed that Sims2Pack twice already - figuring the first time it might've gotten corrupted while installing as I know the installer sometimes doesn't install things right. But I find it odd that nothing was installed - not even an ingame object that you might've used to clone it from - as sometimes happens when things don't install properly. There isn't even one piece of the 6 to be found in my game. It's as if it installed nothing.

Would it be possible for you to reupload it, but in .package form please? That way I could maybe get it and unzip it to the downloads myself and then maybe it would show up? Because I have a feeling the Maxis Sims2Pack installer isn't doing a very good job on installing that particular Sims2Pack file - at least not in my case.

Okay...

I just tried something for the fun of it, to see if it would show up in the game at all and the easiest way for me to do that was to use my Maxis Only game which has only CEP installed (it's the game I use for recolouring things) and installed it there. In the Teleport file there is 6 hash number files that goes in there, but they don't get moved into the download directory and therefore aren't accessible in the game. I tried it twice in the Maxis Only game too. So that's 4 times I've tried to install it from the Sims2Pack that they're in and they haven't shown up in the catalog any of those times in either of my games (Play game, or the Maxis Only game). Yet everything else that's a Sims2Pack file (like sims, homecrafter material & lots) that I've installed recently all install fine in any of my games (I have 5 different games for various things). So there is definitely something wrong with your Sims2Pack file.

This car wash does not show up in my game at all and neither does the Bino Maus I just downloaded, neither one of your objects here show up in my game. Do we need another mesh to go along with the Sims2packi file?? Hope you get it fixed and the other Bino Maus you have here. I also downloaded them from your site and they don't work either. Thanks
