Hello,

It is normal that these neighborhood downloads (and most of the so-called "store items") only consist of one file, in your case that would be the "MidnightHollow.sims3pack".

You have to copy or move this file into the following location: My documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Downloads. Now open the launcher and go to the "Downloads" tab; your "Midnight Hollow" world should show up. Mark the item (click on the small white square next to it), and at the bottom of the launcher click on the "install" button.

And that should do. Smile
