Hallelujah Here She Comes
Rock n' Roll Doggie
Hello.
I don't know how many of you here play The Sims and/or will able to help me with this problem, but I figured this was the best place on the board to ask. Anyway, this is my problem.
For the past three days, I've been trying to get the U2 Sims into my Sims game. I had someone send me a WinZip file with the skins for the U2 characters. I followed their directions (and the directions of every Sims help site I've come across) to extract the files into C:/ProgramFiles/Maxis/Sims/GameData/Skins, but for no apparent reason, the U2 characters don't appear in my game when I go to Create a Family. Actually, after nearly three days and two nights of uninstalling, reinstalling, reextracting and beating my computer to bits, I'm beginning to think that they *won't* appear- not that they simply fail to function, but that they actively refuse to do so.
Does anyone have any idea of what might be wrong? Is it the game? The skins? My computer? ME?? I'd be grateful for any piece of adivce any of you could give. Thank you.
