I'd say it's an issue. It's one of the main things I was interested in with DDO. It's a feature that apparently doesn't even really work. Also I have to say that, after trying in vain to find some sort of online tutorial for this program, I discovered there appears to be absolutely zilch in official guides (and a lot of dead-end threads on MTS2 forums with people asking for help that never got a reply).

My Google searches *did* find many people referring to the orphan glitch, so I came back here to re-read the OP (as it was about 2 years since I last downloaded it).

I have several other Sims 2 utilities and programs, but DDO is the only one that features an orphan scanner. So I guess my question is: What good is an orphan scan if we can't really trust it in the first place?

EDIT: BTW, in case anyone is wondering, I figured out the orphan scan part. After selecting "Scan For Orphans" from the Database menu up top (and after it finishes scanning), you then have to check the Show Orphans box at the very bottom. It *should* now be displaying only those files tagged as orphans. Good luck figuring out what to do next. I'm afraid to delete anything because now I'm not sure if they are all really orphans or not, and it would be a painstaking process to check every single one of them. In retrospect, I'd say the Download Organizer is only good if you are already an organizing freak and have everything sorted in subfolders. From the looks of it, you would really need to have everything sorted by creator name at a minimum. This doesn't really help you organize your downloads unless they are already basically organized, since there's no easy way to determine what is what, and thus to try and figure out what recolors *might* be missing a mesh.


Most sorry to creator for great effort given. Was great project with high hopes. There is no way to avoid careful work to sort and delete cc. This program offers more damage than good with Orphan. So sorry.

What would a skintone overlay be classified as in this program? Would it still be under "Skintone" even if it's changed all of the maxis' skintones to it's horrible overlay? (Ex: Bella Goth, Jan Tellerman, Goopy GilsCarbo, etc) all have changed to this ugly overlay.

Please help, I need to find this ugly skin overlay so I can delete it

I think I love you...
THANK YOU SO MUCH! My Downloads folder contains approx. a gazillion downloads (a gazillion being a hanban term for just under 20,000) and it's so difficult working out what '4a9707bda99375f37229bd42647acab3' actually is!
Absolutely brilliant!

I do have the Sims 2 Pack Clean Installer, and I just downloaded the DDO, but it won't open for me. Can these two programs exist together?

Yeah, I have the Sims3Pack Multi Installer, which converts Sims3Pack files to Package files. (Allows you to bypass installing via the frustrating launcher.) And there's Delphy's Dashboard Package Cleaner. This program checks your package files for corrupt files, files that conflict with one another, duplicates, empty package files, and Sims 2 files.

I love, love, love these programs. They make dealing with custom content a breeze!

There's also a program (Not one of Delphy's...I think) that lets you compress your many, many custom content files into packages. It makes your game run as fast as it would if you didn't have any custom content at all. Here's the URL with more info:

Hi. I dont know if I'm plain stupid, but... I downloaded new files today, and after that bodyshop went crazy. So I downloaded this tool to help me find them again and remove them. And I found them och deleted them, from the download organiser, and they seem to be gone from my downloads folder. BUT they still show up in the game, and my body shop is still crazy. What did I do wrong?

Yeah, I think Delphy is a great genius, as great as the game creators themselves.I also love this site more than anything else. But I posted a message on 4th Nov 2009 11:19 PM but nobody answered me till now.
"Hi, Thanks very much for this wonderful program, I just love it!
Sorry to bother you, but I'd like to know two things: what to do when DDO doesn't show any object category in catalog placement for downloaded objects, can I add one? or change the actual one when it shows a different place I don't agree with? Any help I do appreciate, Thanks again."
Delphy, although I'm sure you are a very, very busy man, could please give me an answer for that?I have this problem all the time.I have Windows 7 Home premium 64bits. I do appreciate all your help.One thousand thanks in advance. Please, answer me any time you can, please!!!! :lovestruc

This has been very helpful to me; however, every time I open the program to organize my downloads folder, I see some things that alarm me. (1) It shows that green bar in the bottom left corner that says it's "scanning X of Y files, but (2) X + Y > the number of downloads it claims to have found on its initial, installation scan, even though I have not added any new downloads, (3) when it's finished, it says "Scan finished, Z packages removed as they no longer exist," and when I open my game, after seeing that message some of my content is missing!!!!!! Where did it go!? Why is this program deleting my content!? How do I make it stop? I really like the idea of being able to organize my folder, but if I can't keep reinstalling my backup downloads if it keeps deleting things!!

You are a life saver, I'm a terrible organiser, but this has seriously helped me! Finally have everything in its own folder and I no longer have to search through millions of files to find what I'm looking for!

Has anyone figured out why this isn't working on Win7 64-bit? The tool doesn't even launch. It crashes immediately after launching the exe-file.

This is amazing! Now I can find the bad defaults my sister downloaded and replace them! Thank you!

(Just a question, though... what is an empty package? Does it have no information inside of it, and doesn't show up in game?)

Hi, Delphy! I absolutely LOVE your download organizer, but I have a question. Some of my custom content, it is in my download folder, does not show up in the download organizer. Does this mean the file does not work? I am not a technofile, much as I wish I was, so any help would be awesome! Thanks again for the AMAZING organizer!

PS - I would love to know as my game is crashing, and I have a feeling some broken files may be causing this. I deleted a lot of packages that would not show up in the organizer, and that seems to have stopped everything, but after downloading new content, the game crashes. Thanks again!
