In the Sims series of games there are two types of custom content you can download and install – default replacements and custom/non-default.ĭefault replacements are files that TAKE THE PLACE of content – such as hair, skin, eyes, etc. Since I just made a change in my style, I thought it was a good time to post some instructions and resources for those of you who are new to defaulting.Īnd even if this is old hat for you, I still think you’ll find some useful information here – such as my chart of matching defaults and organization tips. I’ve received a lot of questions about using defaults on Youtube and various social media. In this post, I’ll show you how to use default replacements in The Sims 2 to update your graphics, change the way your Sims look, and basically refresh your entire game.
