Thank you for downloading from SIMSLICE! :)

Please do not copy, clone, hack, sell, distribute to others or post on other sites.  If you have questions about anything, or if you obtained this from somewhere other than Simslice, please send an email to help@simslice.com.  Thanks, and enjoy! :)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Unzip and put the file ending in ".package" into this folder: 
C:\..\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads
Or if you are a frequent downloader, it might help you organize your downloads better if you created a new folder and named it "Simslice", like this:
C:\..\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads\Simslice

(Note:  The "Downloads" folder is not created when the game is installed, but only when the auto-installer from the game is first used.  So if you don't have this "Downloads" folder or if you are new to downloading, simply create the folder in that location (spelled exactly the same - use the capital "D"))

DESCRIPTION:

Halloween Holiday Lights
Buy Mode Price:  9 each
Buy Mode Category:  Lighting
Enabled for use at-home and on all away-from-home lots
Requirements:  None - Made to work with any version of The Sims 2 game

Object Description:

Extra special holiday lights to string up on your walls.  Unlike other lights, you don't need an empty wall space to use these -- you can hang these over windows, put paintings under them, hang them over a fireplace, or put any other other items you want on the tile under them.  You can also put them on top of each other to make new color combinations too.  Some of them create other cool visual effects, such as fireworks, electric currents and bubbles!  Read below for details.  Enjoy! :)

GAME PLAY INFO:

Holiday Lights include:  Christmas Lights, Halloween Lights, Colorful Lights, More Colorful Lights, Sultry Red Lights, Winter Holiday Lights, "Electric Blues" Lights and Holiday Black Lights.  Each of these can be downloaded separately from our Sims 2 Objects page here:  http://www.simslice.com/thesims2/ts2objects.htm

Extra Special Effects:  The Halloween Holiday Lights will show fireworks exploding above them.  The "Electric Blues" Holiday Lights will show electrical currents, smoke and zapping sounds under them.  The Sultry Red Lights will spawn bubbles under them that come and go at regular intervals.  The remaining Holiday Lights don't have any extra special effects.  However you can put lights on top of other lights to create different color looks.

On a really close zoom you will probably see a bit of the original light colors come through around the bulbs - that is because it is the shining light effect from the game that these lights share, and the original ones had different colors.  

Depending on the number of lights and the speed of your computer, you might experience slowness in the game if you have too many lights on the lot that are showing special effects (bubbles, for example).  Newer computers probably won't experience this.  If you do, then just remove some of them and the game speed will increase.

NEED MORE HELP?:

If you have any questions about downloading, unzipping and installing, please visit our FAQ page which has very detailed instructions at http://www.simslice.com/faq.htm 

Any problems with crashes, freezes or objects not showing up are 99.9% of the time related to either "requirements" not being met, OR a fluke in the downloading/installing process... but it's NOT because of the actual object coding itself.  Check our FAQ page for a very detailed list of these issues and resolutions you can do to resolve them.  Typically the fix is to double check the requirements, and if you meet them, then delete and redownload the item.  Do NOT use Simzip to unzip them.  Further information as previously stated, is detailed on our FAQ page at http://www.simslice.com/faq.htm.  If you still need help after consulting our FAQ page, please contact us and we'll try to help further.
