Need Help Removing File
Carlynn:
I still can't find this file! Not only did it change the woohoo to fuck but it changed other things. Like it changed one thing to "be a pimp." Now I really don't know what I am looking for.
Just for the record lemonfresh, I didn't download this file. It just happened to show up.
I didn't download any replacement wants files either. I have no idea what this is.
Thanks for the help everyone!

It may have been included with a house that you downloaded. It's a good idea to only install lots using Clean Installer so that you can avoid installing any hacks that may have accidentally been packaged with the lot.
Sometimes hacks that come with downloaded lots end up in funny places - not necessarily in Downloads. Try looking in your Teleport folder, it may be in there.
If it came with a downloaded lot, the name of the package file is probably some random-seeming collection of letters and numbers.

I'd probably do a binary search at this point to try to indentify the problem file(s).
Carlynn:
Here is what I am noticing. This is only happening in CAS when I go to choose the sim's aspiration. It is not happening in game at all. I still can't find anything which tells me that those particular files were just over-written. So I ask this: if I were to go and download the f-word mod (I think that is what it is called), install it and then un-install it, do you think that would fix the problem? Or should I just do an complete un-install and re-install of my game files?
I removed the downloads folder and it still happens.
Thanks again everyone for your help!

Mods do not install themselves into your Program Files directory by themselves (except for CEP). If you are sure you did not install a mod into your Program Files directory, there is no reason to reinstall your game, and doing so will not solve the problem.
No, installing and then reinstalling the mod will not help. Your problem is that the mod probably snuck in with a house, which means it no longer has the original file name. However, finding the mod and looking at the installation instructions will help you figure out if it's the kind that you would have installed into Program Files or the kind that goes into Downloads.
After removing the Downloads folder, did you delete Groups.cache? Removing the Downloads folder but not deleting the file can mean that the game will continue to use the hacked code, because it has saved a copy of it. Do that first before you reinstall.
