I'm just curious, what EPs do you have installed, and did it just randomly do this or did you just reinstall your games? If your EPs and packs are the same as mine (or a couple different) we know it can't be those EPs/packs.

I finally figured out my other problem about my folder missing, but now I have another problem. When I create a Family I don't get the usual Family picture, I get a cut off version of the First sim I create. If you don't understand what  mean ill post a reference pic...



On the left is a pic of my created family and on the right is a default family of one, what mine should look like, but with my sim. And everything is all messed up when i put them into a lot. There is the giant cut off picture of my Sims head across the town (can get a pic if needed/wanted). I would think It's because of a bad install of an Expansion but I'm not 100% sure. it would help if anybody knew.

I figured it out...

I uninstalled it all and just reinstalled the original Sims 2 (no EPs) and it created the folder. I think the Reason why i didnt get it is because i have a Taiwan version of the base game. I installed it in Taiwan instead of getting the replacement English file. IDK why it didnt make one before, but it could have been the English EPs over the Taiwan base game that messed things up... Although that might not be it at all. Thanks for your help everybody, its greatly appreciated.

Its not just the downloads folder, its the WHOLE EA games folder, COMPLETELY gone. You know..the EA games folder in the C:/My documents. The one with the neighborhoods and such.

theres a picture of the my documents folder, in there is supposed to be the EA games folder and its not there.

I just got a new hard drive because my other one crapped out on me with all of my Sims 2 stuff on it. I just reinstalled all of the Expansions and Stuff packs and I just downloaded a couple mods and went to install them. I just realized, even after installing all of the expansions and stuff packs, I don't have an EA Games folder that has the Neighborhood folder, Downloads folder, the body shop folder and a lot more. (reference picture: http://www.sims2wiki.info/images/e/e7/DownloadsLocation.jpg [I took this from the Downloading guide for idiots at MTS2]). Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

PS. I found out I was missing the folder by running the game, and seeing no neighborhoods, so running the game won't work to get it back.

ah ok, i will try turning off my antivirus, because i cant figure out how to unblock stuff

i bet that will take a while. But one thing i just noticed, when i installed university (and when i keep trying to reinstall it) it freezes after it says that it will make sure the game is up to date. It just has a little box that says please wait, then it freezes up my computer. I have no clue why.

I have University, Nightlife, Open for Business, and Family Fun Stuff. I had University, Open for Business and Family fun stuff installed and working fine. But then i just got Nightlife and i installed it and the game wouldnt read it. So i uninstalled all of my EPs and now its all working fine, but my University isnt working now! I have no clue what is going on. Can anybody help me?
