This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Seasons, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default SOLVED Weird "ghost folder" under normal "EA Games" folder?
So every time I open my documents folder to go into the "EA Games" folder for something I see this weird folder also titled "EA Games". It isn't a copy of the main folder because A) There's Nothing but an empty folder titled "The Sims 2" and B) If I delete it I refreshes itself when I open the game.

This seems really strange to me because it only happend after I restored my computer and reinstalled the game. The computer itself hasn't changed, nor have the files.

OS: WIndows
Prossesor: AMD E-450 (Duel Core)

Yeah, that's actually in your public documents folder, not your My Documents folder, but Windows 7+ lumps them all together. You can ignore it, just make sure you don't put your CC in there by accident.

Thank you, Nysha. I've always wondered about that stupid folder.

A lot of us players with Windows 7 8/8.1 hide that public one and forget about it.

I just ignore it. If I open up Documents and click 'list' it always sorts them so the 'real' folder is first in the list.
