Didn't think it was possible to bork this much!

My game has been crashing everytime I enter any lot. I removed recent suspicious dl's but that didn't help. I decided to move my entire dl folder to another place for safe-keeping so that I could test my game vanilla. Problem is, I can't get the files to move. I have tried to copy and paste to various places, like the desktop, and also to an external 250gig hd. Here's where you get to stomp all over me--I have 51,000 cc pkg files (12 gig). Is there some way to move my files? Is there a dl limit for TS2? I don't want to simply kiss those files goodbye forever. I have worked hard for 4yrs to accumulate them. There's no solution, is there?
The nuts and bolts of moving problems: I get various error msgs when I am trying to do the move, and as soon as I respond to the msg, the move shuts down.
Thanks for reading, and make fun of me if you must.
Zazazu:
Are you trying to move them in one chunk? That's a large amount to move at once. I know my system, which is hardly a lightweight, tends to freak out (see: slow down, stall) if I move more than a gig at a time. Try incremental moves.

Also: "I get an error message" = not helpful. "I get an error message, and this is what it says" = helpful.

Thanks. The error msg says "[insert file name here] can't be recreated." And, I will try much smaller increments for moving.

Wowie. Twice as much as me. Congratulations. ;)

And ooo-- this sounds familiar. This is where my game will usually crash, too. I can hardly ever download other people's lots because they inevitably crash my game, except for a few blessed ones from Witch and Emma. I suspect it is some sort of timing out, but that is just speculation on my part.
It seems to me you probably have the same problem I do. Most of those downloads are being used. My neighbourhood has probably-- frig-- 250 user-created Sims using custom cc, and my lots are built without maxis objects-- I would have to ditch the neighbourhood and start anew if I changed my download configuration. My neighbourhood spans an entire fantasy world with eclectic cultures all needing that different cc. I'm thinking I'll be playing Sims 2 again when I make a better, more awesome computer. By then, everyone else will be playing Sims 4. ;D

This suggests that you have a lot of files in a single folder. If you haven't already, subfolder and move chunks slowly.
