Body Shop problem

<< < (3/3)

SolidGoldFunk:
What am I supposed to do about my lost cdkey? I can't uninstall nightlife because I don't have the cdkey anymore. Am I just stuck?

SimulatedDork:
Okay, well here's my (new) problem. I have only used Bodyshop about once in my life - for thrills. You know, newbie and stuff. The only reason I need it now is because I have just installed Seasons and my CC is not showing up. So is there another way (aside the bodyshop trick) to generate a new downloads folder?
TIA :)

Try these before you unistall NL.
1) If you registered on the Maxis site, you should be able to get it from there again.  
2) There are key retrieval programs.  I used to use the one from KillerSims, but they aren't there anymore.

Yes, Start->Run, type My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2, click OK.  Right click in a blank area of the folder, pick "New Folder."  Rename the resulting folder "Downloads" with a capital D.

I can tell you right now, that's not the problem with your CC.  That folder should still be there; Maxis simply reconfigured your game not to use it when you installed Seasons.

To turn your CC back on: 1) Run the game.  2) After it loads, click the ellipsis button (...), then the gear icon.  3) I forget the exact text, but it's something like "Show custom content dialog when game starts."  Click it. 4) Quit the game. 5) Run the game. 6) You'll see a big dialog asking if you want to use your custom content.  Click "Enable," then whatever you need to get rid of the dialog.  7) Quit the game. 8) Run the game.  Presto, custom content.

Yes, you need all those Quit the game/Run the game steps.  Don't skip them or you'll screw up your houses.

Great!  Something must have overwritten the corrupt file and fixed the problem.
