Considering how quickly sims 2 stuff is disappearing from the internet, I don't blame you. That's part of the reason I was terrified I might have to replace my downloads folder.
Just out of curiosity, is there a quicker way to delete the .bin from the end of my files than manually renaming them individually?

OP if this has happened to all your files grab a bulk renamer program which will do heaps at once. Maybe not the whole thing at once, but in chunks; mine stops responding if I do more than a good handful of folders at any one time.

Yep, I did. That'll teach me to read posts while I'm still half asleep.

Ant renamer is one that I use, it's nice and simple.

I'm only about half way through the renaming since I started out doing it manually. The bulk utility tool is a lot faster and a huge help so I should be able to get everything up and running after work. I'll update you guys then.

Update: Got everything renamed and installed and everything's showing up now. Thanks again for everyone's help. I really appreciate it.
