I have downloaded a lot of custom content and had very few problems until I tried installing Seasons. I uninstalled it because my sister uses that disc to run Sims and I didn't want to wait for her to finish playing so I could play (we use different computers).
Anyway... long-story-short, after uninstalling Seasons, I noticed that all my custom content in the buy category was missing. They're all still in my downloads folder for Sims 2, but they don't show up in-game. The only content that will show up are recolors of original maxis items. All my clothes, hair and genetics and most build mode items are still intact (as far as I can tell). Also, the "enable custom content" dialog box doesn't appear when I run my game, either. I don't remember disabling custom content, and even if I did, I would assume that the custom genetics and whatnot would be disabled too. Am I right?
I really have no idea whats going on here. Can anyone offer a suggestion?
