Ok so i followed the rules for downloading custom content until it comes to the part where it wants you to paste your files on the download section. My problem is when i go on my documents i can't find the EA games folder or The sims 2 ! The only EA thing i have is under programs. Do you understand? So i do not know what to do. Also the game is the special dvd edtion and my computer is running Vista. And yes i look under the vista part to try and find it but it didnt help.

I would greatly appreciate ( i spelled that wrong i think?) any information!! THANKS!!!!

Have you played the game yet after installing? The files should generate after you run the game the first time... Otherwise you're not looking in the right place or missing it somehow..

No, you have to install your custom content like our guide says. I'm assuming this is the guide you're using? http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?...Fracking_Idiots

I really don't know what to tell you.. either it's there and you're not seeing it or you're not looking in the right folder. Try this.. click on little round windows button in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen to pop up a menu. You see where it says ‘My Documents’? Click on that. Do you see an ‘EA Games’ folder there?

No, you should not reinstall. If you run your game it works right?
You need to find the folder. You must be looking in the wrong spot.
Get someone there to help you look.

Try searching for it: http://helpdesk.wisc.edu/page.php?id=5185 search for 'EA Games' or 'The Sims 2'.

Make sure you name that folder Downloads - with the capital D and also with the s at the end of the folder name.
