Uploading a downloadable file?

[akate]

I've never done this before and I want to know how for when/if the exchange dies. I know I can post a link to mediafire, but I don't know how to get the downloadable file there.
I like making houses and uploading them and I want to keep doing it
Thanks for any help

I've never used Mediafire before, but I just decided to go a head and sign up for it since I'm going to need it anyways ^_^

1) Any who, to get a downloadable file there you have to first create and account, and that's in the upper right hand of the browser and it just says "Sign Up"

2) Then once you go through all of the signing up it takes you to your profile and there's an Upload button to the left of the page and it says "Upload" (obviously)

3) You just click that and then it will come up with a pop that says to either "Drag and Drop" the file you want to upload or "Select" the file you want.

I'm pretty sure after that, Mediafire will take you through it all, I'm not really sure what to do after that as that's as far as I can go without having to actually select something to upload. I hope I helped a little bit

tazluver2012 pretty much summed up how to use MediaFire [http://www.mediafire.com/], it's really easy. After you select your file(s) you want uploaded, it'll start downloading/uploading it to the website. Wait a little bit, then when it's verified it'll give you the option to "Copy Link". Click that, and then paste that link wherever you want people to download it from. When someone clicks on it, it'll bring them to a page where they can download your file.

You can also use MegaUpload [http://megaupload.com/] and RapidShare [http://rapidshare.com/], which are pretty much the same thing, pretty simple to follow.

OH! You don't need to make an account for these websites BTW, I think it just gives you more space to upload to those websites if you DO make an account.

Hope this helped any, !

Thanks. When I make a house though, do I package it into a file on my computer to upload? If I could bene you's, I would. But for some reason, it's not coming up anymore :/

Oh, thats quite simple !

1. Open up your game.
2. Go to the neighbourhood that has the lot you want to share.
3. Click on the house (it has to be placed down).
4. Click on the 'information' icon.
5. Click on the icon at the top, looks like a star with an arrow.
6. Choose whether you want to package the house and upload to exchange, or package so you can upload to a website.
7. If you choose upload to a website, the house will be packaged and can be found at; My Documents\EA games\The Sims 2\packagedlots\

After you locate your file, just upload it to whatever site your using [MediaFire, MegaUpload, RapidShare, etc.] and thats pretty much it !

Hope this helped ^_^ !
