When you uninstall an EP, the uninstaller will automatically delete the contents of your Sims2 folder- so all of your neighbourhoods, custom content, music, movies etc. will be gone. If you wish to keep any of this you can just cut and paste your Sims 2 folder from My Documents to the desktop before you uninstall. That way they won't be deleted. However, you will NOT be able to play your neighbourhoods- they will not work as your game version will be different. You'll need to start those again. But you can copy your Saved Sims folder, Downloads, userstartup.cheat and any other custom files into the new Sims 2 folder generated next time you play, with some conditions. That is- make sure your userstartup.cheat does not contain cheats specific to the EP you just uninstalled. And make sure your custom content is compatible with your new game setup (remove all hacks, clothes, objects which need the EP you uninstalled). If you wish to use your neighbourhood again the best way to do this is to package up the lots before you uninstall the EP and save them to a file, and to use
SimPE and Simsurgery to extract any Sims you like. Then you can use the lots and Sims in your new game (you'll just have to create relationships and memories in SimPE).
