Thank you very much!! "Trick 17" works like a charm! I now have all my packaged lots in my lots bin available for reuse in the game.

Thanks for all the quick responses everyone. To answer your questions...

I installed the game to the default location.

All other custom content I have added either via manually copying to the "downloads" directory or using the Clean Installer shows up in the game just fine. Only packaged lots fail to show up.

I have all expansion and stuff packages installed. I doubt if Bon Voyage is the problem because this problem has haunted me long before I had BV installed.

So far as I know, Clean Installer places all custom content into the "downloads" directory and when I manually install packages, that's also where I put them. I was not aware that any custom content went into the "teleport" directory.

Still looking for any other possible suggestions. Thanks!

I've been playing the Sims2 ever since it was released and have all of the expansion and stuff add-ons installed. I've had no trouble whatsoever either manually installing or using the Clean Installer to put custom content into the game with one mystifying exception.... I take *lots* of time building houses and fully furnishing them. Consequently, I'd like to be able to use some of these houses in other neighborhoods or even reuse them in the neighborhood they were originally created in. I have tried both manually installing them after packaging them and using Clean Installer to do so, but for reasons I don't understand, the houses never show up in my houses and lots bin! Actually, that's not entirely accurate... Again for reasons I don't understand, I was once able to get 2 homes to show up in the bin but they were both completely unfurnished despite the fact that they were completely furnished when I packaged them. Even more frustrating is the fact that Clean Installer correctly displays the packaged lots complete with all furnishings and appears to install them without any hitches. Can anyone give me a clue as to what I'm overlooking or doing wrong?

A real cutie! Thank you!
