No M&G folder
seelindarun:
So you found the executable on your F: drive? Isn't that the same place where you say you had searched before?
Look, you moved your folders to non-standard locations yourself. You have your own computer in front of you. Others do not.
How would we know where to find shit on your computer?
Gwill:
I'm sure it did it all by itself.

I think you are not as computer literate as you would like us to believe.
The information I gave that helped you solve your problem was very, very basic info on how to find where a program is running from. My 12s (one of whom actually is 12) could have told you that.

FYI: the .exe file isn't in any of the folders on my HD for any EP or Stuff pack. THey're on the CD unless you're using the no-CD crack.
FYI: I only started using a No-CD when SecuROM was added. The earlier EPs were all installed from the CDs that I purchased. Each install - whether base game or EP - put an .exe file on my HD, and that's where the shortcut pointed to.
Seems like you have a weird computer, some would say it's unique. Searching it fails to find the files that turn out to be right there. When you installed your game & EPs apparently you didn't get .exe files put on your HD, unlike everybody else.
I must say your method of asking for help is about as unique as your computer. When we provided helpful information, you got snarky with us and told us to get a clue. Personally I think it's you who needs to get a clue.

I ran a search on both drives before and again after I posted. The only Mansion and garden files it came up with were something called Sims2 Mansion and Garden Stuff_code.exe and Sims2 Mansion and Garden Stuff_uninstall.exe which were in the Support folder. NOTHING showed up on a search for EP9. The EP9.exe file is there now. None of the rest showed up until just now. I've run the game since the first post to double check that it was working. All I can figure is that it generated this misplaced folder when I ran the game because it couldn't find the previous non-existant M&G folder.
I realize this is the board that jeered at, called names and made personal remarks about someone who posted a problem they had with their game on a mac. When one of the competent technical people pointed out that the solution offered wouldn't work on a mac, half the people ignored it and continued the insults. No one apologized. I also note the fact that my problem was solved by someone who didn't get on and call me names.
So, yes, I erred. I thought I could get a strange problem solved here. I forgot that to 90% of the people here the only reason this board exists is to boost their egos by sneering at whoever looks vulnerable. So, do, enjoy yourselves. I'm sure you'll feel so proud.

Yes, it's true. I didn't call you names. But I did point out that my 12 year old could have solved your problem, the information was so damn basic. I also suggested you get a clue.
HINT: If you want people to do you a favour (i.e. to help you to solve your problem) I suggest you don't put them offside by being snarky with those who are trying to help you.
