Thanks, I've never put anything up for download before. I guess I should play-test the lots first, to make sure they work okay.
I guess I do have a couple of questions. First, do you know of any good tutorials for packaging them up? Or is it as simple as doing it in game and zipping it up? Second, which file hosting source is best for this kind of thing?
Packing up lots is actually very simple. First I recommend downloading and installing Clean Installer:http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=409950. Then, just open your game and click once the lot you want to share. You'll see a star icon: click it, name the lot and hit Ok. You'll find your packed lots at EA Games > The Sims 2 > PackagedLots. Then just zip it up. :) There's several options for file hosting, I use Box.net and Dropbox myself. I've used Box for few years and never had any problems with it, Dropbox is kind of new thing to me but it's super easy to use. :)
The thing about Clean Installer is that when you upload or download something packed with it, you can choose the files you want to install (if a sim or lot is packed with CC).
That's perfect. Thanks so much Mara! I will give it a shot and maybe you can test it for me to make sure I did everything right.
Also, I just went through all your Uberhood updates and you really make me want to play the Uberhood! Especially with all those makeover'd lots you've made!
