the file reads: cx_Character_cxooooooxx_xxxxxx.package if that is what you are asking for whay kind of file is it? I am not using an external Installer just the one that came with the game. Until I can get someone to install a newer version of Netframe work that Clean Installer requires I can't us it.

The builder of the house that I downloaded did not say there were sims included, I don't think its that because a couple of more houses I downloaded also crashed my game and they were from a different builder. Thats why I thought I must have gotten on the wrong download section by mistake.

I'm kinda afraid to delete them ATT, until I know for sure what they are.

Thanks coffeetime for your response

Just back in Sims 2 from yrs of being gone, I downloaded a couple of houses that I thought were crashing my game. Thought maybe they were Sims 3 houses, so I removed them; I thought, (they are still accessable in game). I saw a lot of Character package files and did not remember seeing them before, so I safetly put them on my desk top in a folder.

I haven't used those houses so don't know what they are, or whether my game will still crash if I attempt to use them. What I am asking is; are the Character Package files for Sims 2 and where do they go?

If they are related to the problem I am having with my Sims person is wanting to buy a vacation house when he goes to computer to purchase all I have is a neighborhood templet, no lots no houses, nothing! I have been searching for days for answers trying every combination of words I can think of to describe missing vacation locations, Character Package files. Please help.

I have all games and EPs and computer stupid
