well, I accidentally deleted the EA games folder in my documents (don't ask me how ) and I don't want to reinstall the game (I can't anyway since I don't have the original game with me). Is there any way that I can download a new one? (I know that my saved neighborhoods and downloads will be gone but that's okay). Maybe someone could upload theirs (without their saved game/downloads)? that would be really helpful. thank you.

The game will create a new saved game folder for itself, you won't have to reinstall.

If you delete the My Documents\EA Games folder, when you run the game, it generates a new one. It may take quite a while (15 minutes-ish) for the initial load as it has to make new files for everything, but that -does- work. If it's not working, then there's something wrong with your game that you will probably need the game disks to fix.

I just tried it and it works regenerating a fresh My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 folder if you remove the entire My Documents\EA Games folder, so I'm 100% sure of this.
