I'll take my time to tell you my experience, but with it, a discovery (sort of)I used to download custom content from this site (the original site), I used to download it into the correct file and had gone through re-installing my game twice, and shutting down my computer several times. Whenever I used to download CC, It used to get downloaded and when I would go to the game, only the make-up and the eyes would show up, the rest used to be replaced by proxies which was very frustrating. One day, I had gotten the full CC to show up and I was literally celebrating that moment, then when I had gotten sleepy, I shut off the game, and with it, my computer.The next day, I went back onto the computer and went to Sims 3, the CC was not showing up again, it was replaced with proxies! I searched all day for a solution and yes, I found one. It was posted by 'CCLEO' (I mentioned the user name to thank this user).... The user posted several tips and one of them was how to enabled custom content.You have to go to the Game Launcher, and then to the 'Installed Content' tab. Then, you have to check a box which says 'Run with Custom Content'...Then a message appears, ignore the message, just click the tick button to continue...WAIT, the story doesn't end here...I was overjoyed to find out how to enable the custom content...So I went to my game but...huh!?.....The custom content still wasn't working?I went to the button which has three dots on it, I clicked 'Open Launcher'...the game was minimized and the launcher was opened, I went to see if my box was checked and it was, I went back to the game and the CC appeared out of the blooms....Till this day, I open the launcher while the game is playing, then I go back to the game without closing the launcher and my CC is just there without a drop of sweat...So, if your problem is similar to mine, just follow what I did and still do....

Real Sims 2 custom content must be installed. as an add in to the game. when you download the file the icon should be a dark blue circle with a light blue person inside it. You must execute this file just like an installation file to add the content into the game.

What sims do you have to have to play all the other sims games?

Not sure which Sims you mean, do you mean the original game, Sims 1? You need the first game The Sims installed and then you can install expansion packs. It is recommended by Maxis that you install The Sims first (expansions wont work anyway without it) and Makin Magic last.

It wont let me play the sims without it saying i have to enter the sims 2 pets disc?

If sims 2 pets is the latest game you installed in your computer then to make sims 2 work you have to put in the sims 2 pets CD. I had the same problem.. I kept trying to run sims with nightlife but the latest game I had installed was apartment life... ~Always put in the disc of the latest game you installed~
