Need help getting mods and CC to work (Solved)
Cindra:
Ok to make a long story short, I got a new computer today and had to reinstall everything. I've been playing this game since it came out and I'm very experienced on downloading mods and CC. I have all the proper programs installed and followed all the tutorials (again) and I can't get anything to work. No mods, no CC, no recolors, nothing is showing up or working. I'm puzzled now because last time I had to do this, it worked just fine. Please if anybody knows of anything else I can do let me know. Thanks in advance as always.

With a new computer, you probably have Windows 7. When you look under Libraries\Documents, you most likely have 2 "The Sims 2" folders. One is in your private Documents, the other in your Public Documents. Make sure you use the private documents folders.

Mine had two in the only documents folder I had.... it's tricky picking out which one is the correct one, that's why my CC was screwy at first ;)

Thanks for your help everybody. Ancienthighway I actually just have Windows XP. It's not a brand new computer just a new computer to me, but had nothing on it. So my Sims 2 game and EP's/SP's was last priority. I think I might have figured out my problem, but I'm not very computer savvy. So if I have my sims 2 game file still in my Documents/Downloads folder, would that mess up my Documents/EA games/Sims 2 aswell? I was thinking that was most likely the culprit, but wasn't sure. Again thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.
EDIT: Ok so that didn't help either, still nothing. :confused:

The data files, the ones that save your game, will be in My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2. This is were the game will look for them. My Documents is normally on the C: drive. So the dowloads, mods and CC, should be in My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads. And, of course, you want to enable CC and restart the game.
