Vista and downloads
ChibyMethos:
Much to my everlasting consternation, I was forced to get a new laptop, and it came equipped with the anti-christ . . . excuses me Vista.
Anyway, I've been trying to reload my game, and I cannot find my downloads folder. I'm not sure where it would be; I know the basegame created one on 2000 and XP, but I'm not totally sure where it is in Vista.
There is a 'user' folder instead of 'my docs' and that folder has two folders in it, one with my name, one marked public. Neither of them contain anything that says EA, Maxis, or The Sims 2.
Please help. Maybe I can't find it because I HATE VISTA SO F*CKING MUCH >:( and am not looking hard enough, but I haven't played in 2 months and I'm going crazy!

Reformat, reinstall XP. You should always reformat a new computer and install from a real CD anyway, not use the proprietary spyware crap.

I think I had to manually create one under my name folder. It's been a while since it set up Sims on Vista.

I made Vista my bitch. If you want to be a whiny quitter like all the sad Ubuntu/Unix evangelists around here, then be my guest. Vista is like getting dumped in the Outback with nothing but a flip flop and some string. Props if you can take it. Godspeed, and don't sleep in the same room with it.
Pescado: I am hearing that a lot of systems will not "accept" XP after shipping with Vista. You will have driver problems up the ass. That's the coward's way anyhow. I am back to XP and Vista was better in a lot of ways. OH YES I DID.
crunk:
Start ---> Documents OR Name ---> Documents ---> EA Games ---> The Sims 2. If you have no Downloads folder, you will need to create one, remembering to use a capital letter. If you do not have a Sims 2 folder at all, you have changed the destination path in installing and I have no clue where you may have put it.
Vista is good on a computer that can handle it. Just don't try to play the original Sims games.

Even if you wipe and reformat the system before rebuilding on XP? Shouldn't be a problem if the system is totally clean.
