Christmas won't be Christmas without you

Auntie:
One of my bizillion downloads is overwriting the Maxis Christmas Tree so it no longer appears in the catalog.  I haven't looked for this object in months, so there's no way to tell when this happened.  Is there a simple, straight forward way of finding this imposter or am I doomed to search every damn item?

Auntie:
Thanks Toad  but I've been running binary searches until my head is about to explode.  Isn't there some way, perhaps using Simpe, to isolate the identifier used to create the catalog entry and then search for the duplicate?  Does that make sense?  I'm sure this is a common problem, there has got to be a easier solution!

Emma:
What you can try doing-I don't know if it would work though...create a new Sims2 folder in your 'My Documents' by renaming your original one to 'Sims 2 Main' or something. When your game loads, place down an empty lot and put the Christmas Tree on it. Exit to hood and package the lot. Quit the game, and then delete the test Sims 2 folder (after taking the packaged lot from the packaged lot folder) rename the Sims 2 Main folder back then install the lot with the Christmas Tree on it. Load up your game, find the lot in the lot bin and place it down somewhere. Enter the lot and see what your Christmas Tree has turned into. Do not delete the object in-game though, exit the game and remove the overiding object from your downloads folder.

I dunno if this'd work-it should in theory. :) You can try it anyway.

Ellatrue:
Maybe clean installer could do it? Doesn't it have a feature where it looks for "duplicate items?" Maybe it would show up that way?  ???
