Importing Families Family Importing in The Sims Deluxe Edition You will notice a button on the neighborhood screen that looks like a house with a plus sign. This is the family importing button. Instead of automatically prompting you to import a house as soon as it is in the import folder, The Sims Deluxe Edition gives you the option to import families you want into the neighborhood you specify.

Simply change to your desired neighborhood with the neighborhood arrow buttons, and then click the import family button to import your downloaded families. A dialog box will appear, prompting you to import the families that you have downloaded. The Import Family button will only function if you have a family to import in your userdata import folder.

When houses are downloaded from The Sims Exchange, they are first downloaded to the Import folder until the player imports them into a neighborhood.

These are automatic functions that the player does not need to manage. Installing The Sims Deluxe Edition with Vacation, Hot Date, and House Party If you do not have The Sims installed on your computer, you must install The Sims Deluxe Edition before installing any expansion packs.
