Try deleting your gropus.cache file inside your Sims 2 folder.

And, maybe, all the files inside your Thumbnails folder.

Where did you download the lot from exactly?  It's a possibility it may need an EP/SP that you don't have, either because it was built with Build mode tools only available in another EP, or the lot contained objects that need a certain EP/SP.  (... and depending on where you downloaded the lot from, some creators forget to inform the right requirements for the lots they make, so it's a possibility with the one you have.)

You'll probably have to end up bulldozing that lot because of all of that.  :?

That would be in your LotCatalog folder.  The skins, however, will be found in your Downloads folder, along with the rest of your custom content.  It's going to be tough if you don't know the exact file names of them, so you might want to either download Sims2Pack Clean Installer or Delphy's Download Organizer for the sake of seeing what's what in that folder.
