Is your folder spelled like this: Downloads
Did you download stuff for your game that wasn't compatible with your EP's

The file has to end in .package

Only package files should be in your Downloads folder. Nothing else.

yup, everything is a .package file...would a picture of a sim hair file be the problem?

I'd think so.

Take it out and see if it loads.

Just inside your Sims 2 folder, look for a groups.cache file.

Delete that. The game makes a new one when you start it up. Also, delete all the files inside your Thumbnails folder. The game makes new ones also.

Also, did you download and install the patch?

Sims 2 patch (http://thesims2.ea.com/update/index.php).

It's the first one. Make sure you pick the right one. CD or DVD.

All you had to type in your browser was, http://www.thesims2.com

Take everything out of your downloads folder. Make sure it's empty.
Try to start the game up.

It's something inside your downloads folder. We've learned that much.
You'll have to go a bit by bit to see which package file doesn't work.
