More info?)
Collections are a group of objects gathered together. You can do it ingame
(the folder icon under the furniture menu) or download a group that someone
has previously made. Downloading special collections is the standard way of
making household items available on commercial lots and visa versa. There
should be a collections folder in your My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2
folder - just above your downloads folder.
