Downloading and Using Houses & Lots

We strongly recommend backing up your house files before downloading and installing houses from The Sims Resource. We will not be responsible for any game data loss that you incur.

Some of the houses and lots have custom textures in them. This means that there are Walls and Floors that don't come standard in the game used in these houses. In these cases, we have included all of the floors and walls that you will need in the Zip file that you download!

You will need WinZip. You can download a trial version from here.

First off you will notice there are 2 ways to download a lot. The first way to download a house is to just simply click on the Download Now link. If you want more then one house at a time, subscription members can simply put a check into the white boxes of each house you wish to download and then click the Download Selected button. This will download every house that you have a check mark in!

Now what to do with all those files? Its simple, The lot file is always the (.iff) file in the zip. That will go into your houses folder in your Sims directory. If you have Livin Large or Livin It Up installed, then you need to use the userdata folder relevant to the neighbourhood you want the lot in, so userdata 4 is neighbourhood 4.

Next are the Walls, which are always in a (.wll) format. All of the Wall files will go into your Walls folder in your Sims directory.

And last but not least are the Floor files, which are always in a (.flr) format, and they will go into your Floors folder in your Sims directory

See now wasn't that easy? If you run into any problems then take a look over at the Editing Forum or just on The General Forum and ask someone for help!

Happy House Hunting!!

Note: The basic game is limited to showing 200 textures at any time. See the FAQ for more details.
