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

Thanks again.  And Kazzandra, I am glad someone understands building and decorating with all CC and no Maxis.

Don't forget, if all you want to do is test a vanilla game, you can rename your 'My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2' folder to something else, then start the game. This will generate a fresh 'The Sims 2' folder with the EAxis default neighborhoods and settings. At that point I usually delete all the 'hoods but one, then use that for testing.

You'll probably still have to go through the process of moving files to track down the problematic CC, but I find it to go more smoothly with the default 'hoods. They're smaller and therefore take less time to load than my primary 'hood.

Not if you've been fecking with the clean neighbourhood templates it won't. BastDawn will be putting download links for the original hood templates in the clean templates thread shortly.

Roux:
The OP's question was about moving 12 GBs of CC in the Downloads folder order to test a game without it. My language could have been more precise, I suppose. For a vanilla game, anything that's been modified in Program Files would first have to be restored to its original state at installation. Replace modified neighborhood templates with originals, remove anything that's been added to TSData\Res subfolders, restore backups of files, etc.

Hey, if you really want to be exact about running a completely vanilla game, then I suppose ditching the no-CD crack and running the game from the disk would also be required, right? Any volunteers?

No, because that would be completely retarded. Everyone should pelt you with rotten fruit now.
