Before you install Bon Voyage, did you do a back-up like the game suggested?

If so, put it in and try to install Bon Voyage again.

When you install a new ep, it is not rare the game will reset the settings and you will have to enable your cc again.  Make sure all the cc stuff you have (objects and mods) are compatible with Bon Voyage.

Sometimes when you do an uninstall there is still some bits and pieces left behind somewhere on you puter. You need to do a total clean uninstall. Then try reinstall all your games. I know it's a pain but worth it. Once you get all your downloads back try to remeber to copy your downloads folder for future problems.BV is very glitchy so be carefull with certain hacks and mods. I only have insim and my game works fine. But then again i don't download cc "objects or object recolours."

Ok did you had to create your own download folder?  If so, did you spell it that way?:

Downloads

Capital D and the s at the end are very important.

he did that, how else could he have the insiminator....
Could be related to the bug i have with BV, since i installed BV i cant use subfolders anymore on alot of my stuff, could be your problem also.

[MissDoh]

Bloom, if not spell correctly only some downloads will appear in the game, so it can be a mispell of the folder name.

You should do search before saying it cannot be the problem and you will see the mispelling of the downloads folder is a common problem.

I am not saying it is the official reason why some of his cc are not showing but it can be that simple of a fix.
