Lost all my base game neighborhoods

I just got my computer back after the Feds had it for two years, and they Fubared half the stuff on it. (Long story short --hubby is now doing 14 years in prison for what he was doing on the computer.)
Ummm. Have you thought about re-formatting? ::)

It won't let me copy the neighborhoods from the CD -- keeps giving me an error message about cyclic redundency, and then freezing up windows explorer. Looks like I'm just going to have to uninstall and re install all the discs -- which I was trying to avoid.

No, not from the CDs. From your C Drive. IIRC, the path is C:\EA Games\The Sims 2\TSDATA/RES/USERDATA/NEIGHB~1. That shouldn't have been messed with. I'd assume the Feds mostly cleared out My Documents, as people don't usually hide their dirty stuff in their Sims folders. I'm surprised they gave you the computer back at all.
But yeah, I'd reformat. Either do the Pirate Bay for a keygen utility, or rip them from your registry before the reformat.
J. M. Pescado:
Wait, what? You are NOT reformatting the hell out of the computer after the GOVERNMENT has been messing with it? Who KNOWS what they did to put and put on it? Wipe that sucker fast! Don't sweat the CD codes, just reformat the entire thing now. We can give you new CDkeys when you're done.
Judecat:
Ok, please don't send me to retardo land, but do I need a windows xp disc to reformat? The computer came with XP on it, I didn't get a disc. And I don't really have a clue how to reformat.
Zazazuu --They gave this computer back because all the bad stuff was on his computer not this one. And I know that neighborhoods are supposed to be in my sims folder, but they aren't there at all.

Oh lord!
Seriously Judecat, get thee hence to a website with good tutorials on how to reformat your machine. Print them, follow them. Find all your drivers - again by following tutorials, and burn them to a CD first. Torrent yourself an operating system, again by finding and following tutorials. This will be time consuming but not impossible. If you feel it's all too much, take it to a shop and ask them to set it back to factory default.
Then install your stuff again.
Seriously.
