For example, in The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection, the Downloads folder is placed. Sims 2, installing package files is simply a matter of placing them in the Mods.
What are your essential Sims 2 CC & Mods?
Since so many people are getting back into Sims 2 now with the release of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, I'd thought it be nice to have some where that people could share mods and CC that have helped make their game play a lot more fun and interesting. :) (One of the better things about Sims 2 though is that it's still a playable game without mods)
Anyways, here are my must haves:
ACR (Autonomous Casual Romance) - This makes Sims more likely to engage in romantic interactions of their own free will based up chemistry scores, and they can even woohoo and try for baby on their own. It introduces risky woohoo, so you get the added chance of having an 'oopsie' baby. Sims no longer have to be in love to woohoo (because we all know how that's not how things go in the real world ;) ). This has definitely created some pretty interesting situations in my neighborhoods.
GunMod's Radiance Lighting - This has made my game SO much prettier, I absolutely love this mod to pieces.

Lot Debugger - A must have in terms of fixing buggy sims/lots
DeUglified Maxis Templates - Hate to be superficial here, but let's face it, some of the Maxis face templates look really odd, and I hated making sims from them. This default replacement changes the face templates, but still keeps some of their defining characteristics. With this, I'm definitely less afraid to stray from the 1st face template that everyone seems to go to when trying to make a pretty sim.

Community Time Project - This mod makes it so that when your sims leave their house for a community lot, spend 2 hours on that lot, and then come back home, they will come back 2 hours later! I hated that sims could spend an entire day at a community lot and then come back home the same time they had left - this makes managing their time a little harder!
Empty Neighborhoods - Ever notice that when you create a new neighborhood you always get the same sims? Benjamin Long, Goopy Gilscarbo or whatever his last name is... etc. Empty templates basically make it so that these sims do not spawn, and allow you to generate your own townies or even make your own! Especially useful if you have replacements for the face templates and want your townies to actually have those templates instead of the old maxis ones!
Anyways, these are just a few of the mods I have - my downloads folder is chock full, haha.

Edited to add:Greater LTW Variety - This mod assigns a Lifetime Want to your sim that is not only based on their aspiration, but also their personality, interests, and their relationships with other sims. Before, your knowledge sim couldn't have the LTW of reaching th top of the law enforcement. Now, if he has enough of an interest in crime, and hey, maybe his dad is also in law enforcement, he can now roll that LTW. The LTW actually fits the sim. For example, I had a kid whose One True Hobby was Arts and Crafts - he had a lot of enthusiasm for it, a lot of interest in culture, and I really pictured him as someone who would want to become an artist. Lo and behold, he grows up, gets a Family aspiration, and has the LTW of becoming a Visionary! It was so perfect.
