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.
I haven't heard this. You must be buying weird dodgy things. A system will always accept if you reformat it!

It takes time to get used to Vista... You may feel the OS starts a bit slow and it asks you a lot of questions concerning security issues. Infact, you can make it run faster by going to msconfig to choose which service to run and which not. You can also lower the security level but you will then put your computer at risk. If you are not good with computers, simply turn a deaf ear to me and bear with Vista ;)

I asked some nerds too, and sometimes you can't get motherboard, etc. drivers for the system if it was shipped with Vista - they just don't exist. Sometimes XP is just not an option.
This is why you don't BUY defective, buggy, shitware boxen.

If you can't find your downloads, get the game going first, with all the patches, EPs etc. Play it a little while without CC, then start incorporating your download folder )or if you still can't find it) downloading again. Organize your files whatever way works for you, and pay attention to download the ones that are associated with whatever EPs and stuff packs you have.
Stop trying to force the XP version on your Vista computer. It ain't gonna work. As for the remarks about Vista, all I can say is I distinctly remember similar remarks about XP until Microsoft fixed its bugs. Change is uncomfortable.
So far everything loaded fine, and I wasn't forcing it on. I do still have my old downloads folder, and as soon as I find my nightlife disk >:( I want to play it clean, with only the default face replacements in.
And I liked XP as soon as it came out.

The fastest way to get a working "Downloads" folder is to download one of the official EAxis downloads from their site. Like the stuffed bunny. This will create the folder.
On my Vista computer it's C:Users/Main/Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Downloads. From the start menu, it's just Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Downloads.
Vista works fine for me, and even better with "Readyboost." I got a nice 16 Gig flash drive for Christmas, so I could finally try it out. It makes moving around the neighborhood less laggy.
