Okay lets see if I remember how to do this.
To unzip it you have to have a decompression program like Winzip. (Go to
www.winzip.com to download a free version.) Winzip is an extraordinarily easy program to use, it'll guide you through how to unzip the file. If youre on AOL it may unzip it automatically when you sign off.
So first unzip the file to C:/ProgramFiles/Maxis/TheSims
Then, take the two files, COPY them, and place them in C:/ProgramFiles/Maxis/TheSims/UserData/Character
Then take the same two files and place them in C:/ProgramFiles/Maxis/TheSims/GameData/Skins
That SHOULD work. The next time you open up the Sims, go to the character setup and when you scroll through the different faces and bodies he should appear. I think Bono is under the selections for the medium-skin-toned people, so you may have to dig around a bit.
Hope this helps.
