Do you have WinRAR or WinZIP installed? If not you need one of those. First you need to make sure you have this in the correct order: C:\Users\*Name*\Documents\EA Games\The Sims™ 2 (or it will have an EP after it)\Downloads. Make sure it is a capital D and it has an s at the end of download. The folder name should look like this "Downloads" If you have everything like that try going to something and installing it MAKE SURE YOU PUT IT IN THE "Downloads" FOLDER Once you did that you need to pull up your Downloads folder and right click the content and unzip it, and if you need to install a Sim2Pack file double click it and hit "Yes". Wait for the bodyshop installer (Or if you have clean installer, I highly recommend it) then click "Install" and the content should be in your game.
EDIT: Do you have the mesh for the content? If not that is very important and you need it in your Downloads folder in order for it to work.

Try making a new Downloads folder and move all the CC you have in your old Downloads to the new one..
EDIT: Is it all your CC or just like objects, hair, makeup, clothes..?

I had the same problem after installing a new EP, it has nothing to do with where you get your downloads from, you can still trust MTS
Have you done the following? First Step is enabling CC and making sure the dialog does not show up when you start the game.
If that doesn't work (which it didn't for me, it's a bit hit-and-miss but you need to do it), try this: Second Step, especially what is posted under the title "Config Files". This worked for me, but make sure you do everything in the right order, and test often whenever it tells you to, no need to mess with the game if it's not absolutely necessary
