No floors, no walls, flashing terrain - fix?
Theraven:
I do a much simpler version.
I usually clear the cache files before I play anyway, so that's no problem (not thumbnails - my game easily crashes if I delete them, because it then has to reload pictures for 30+ GB).
First I make sure that things are included (as in whether or not to download meshes).
Then I move out the loose files in my Downloads folder to make sure they don't mix in with the ones from the package files that will be installed.
Then I install the lot, so that the package files ends up in downloads, and move those to a separate sub-folder where anything that belongs to that house ends up.
I look through the files either in CI or in Simpe, to make sure I don't get a bunch of stray mailbox/trashcan files or hacks/mods, or files named "something.package.package.package.package.package".
Then I move back the files I moved out.
After that the lot is usually ready to place when I go ingame. If not, I install the lot file itself once more, or restart the game. Usually it just hangs back in the teleport folder.

Update:
BuildMode items (walls floors terrain outdoorplants) do not like subfolders. Place them as close to the surface of your Downloads folder as possible. They will allow for one subfolder only.
If you folder your lots (like me as I'm a filing categorizing freak) keep them close to the surface too because they will hold buildmode items.
Theraven:
I can put anything I want in subfolders (I think the deepest I've got is 4-5 deep), except for certain hacks, and as long as the file path isn't too long.
Which EPs and SPs do you have?
It could be that the missing items requires EPs or SPs you don't have.
Or it could be that you don't have the EPs that lets you use deep subfoldering (might be Nightlife that allowed deep subfoldering, but I'm not sure).
caffeinated.joy:
Please answer my question, as this will help with the fix. What colour is the flashing?
Jemcrystal:
Sorry, was at work.
The only EP's I do not have are Glamour and Kitchen. I don't have anything Holiday either. All else is installed with patches.
