Homecrafter walls, floors and terrain paints are all zipped with Winzip, download the file and extract the file, then double click the Sims 2 pack to install. The file will automatically go to your Sims 2 downloads folder.
Mini Lots
A small number of my lots are on a mini lot 1X1 they can be used with just the base game or with any EP. They can be found at MTS2 .
To install paintings
Unzip the jpg file and put this file into C/ My Documents / EA Games / The Sims 2 / Paintings
When your Sim has acquired enough creativity points they will be able to choose the picture they want to paint, you can add your own pictures for your Sims to paint. If you have Freetime you can also frame these paintings once they are placed upon the wall.

To install the undecorated version of Dickensville that only requires The Sims 2, download and extract the SC4 files and place then in your SC4 folder. Which can be found in Start / Explore/ My Documents/ EA Games /The Sims 2.
To install the decorated version of Dickensville download both the SC 4 files and the N999 files.
