Deleting non compatible Download files

What is this "buy"? Why would you pay money for an inferior product. The store bought copies contain securom, which is bad for your computer, so the arrr copy is clearly superior.
Well, I am on dialup at this time, so it's either "buy it" or take years to download it off the internet from somewhere. If someone has a better idea, I am all ears. I really want to play AL... :)
Thanks for everyone's ideas. I already have my download directory organized in several categories. Does it matter how deep the folders go, because I did see something that confused me. It said that certain files shouldn't be in sub folders. Is that just a rumor, or is that something that can be substantiated? It says: eye color, glasses, lipstick, blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow, costume makeup, skin tone, hair color, hair mesh, clothing.

P.S. It's not that I want SecuRom... trust me I don't. However being on dialup is not conducive to help me out of the situation.

At least install on an administrator account and download a no-cd crack for your EP. That will keep securom off your machine and the no-cd crack can be downloaded via dial-up with less trouble than torrenting the whole game. I have done that in the past when I was on dial-up.

Not AFAIK. I have everything sub-foldered to death and have had it that way since at least Nightlife. Never had any problems. I forget which EP allowed you to sub-folder skins in Downloads but it was an early one and even if you don't have a later EP, you can always stick skins in Saved Sims.

That one allowed you to sun-folder skins and other files that were previously not allowed. I even sub-folder sims in my saved sims folder when I don't want them to show up in the CAS sim bin.

Yeah, I do that too - I have them sub-foldered according to type: students, townies, vacationers etc. plus back ups of all my in game sims - a useful way to store them. It also saves time on loading. For those who don't know, the game doesn't read sub-folders in Saved Sims.
