This is why you don't BUY defective, buggy, shitware boxen.
As many times as I've told my mother this, she never ever listens! And now she likes Vista. Sheesh.
snowbawl:
I like my Vista, too. And the fastest way to create the downloads folder is to just make a new folder, named...surprise! Downloads. Screw the EA site.
I had no problem whatsoever finding my game files and manipulating them to suit my needs. Transferred all relevant files from old XP to new shiny Vista. Am happily simming once again, with no lag, no god-awful load times. I wish I would have transferred my game between computers months ago. I have fish in my fishtanks again! I can not possibly convey my happiness over this one little perk.

Well, like I said, I was able to find the folder and I put my default face replacements in and went into bodyshop. And it crashed. I have in everything except Nightlife, which I will have to borrow, so the coding for DL in folders should be there since I have everything after NL. I even took out the folder and bodyshop still crashes.
I'm more freaked out than annoyed at this point. I won't play the game until I have NL, but bodyshop should be okay. I'm trying to run it from M&G (x-mas gift, I didn't buy), but no luck.
Since my computer came with the HD split, I checked to see if maybe I accedently loaded a game on the wrong drive, but everything is in C.
Clearly, I am made of fail. :(

Here are the error messages that Vista produced.

I'm not sure if that helps. I have pictures too if need be.
nocomment:
You used the Bodyshop under Mansions and Gardens? It's a long shot, but try using the one under Apartment Life. M&G is in a grey area between stuff pack and expansion pack, so maybe the AL Bodyshop will work for you.

I have no problems with vista and my EA downloads folder is in Documents find it on yyour start menue in the Grey area not public and I succefully transfered my XP game. I did download directx 9 from microsoft and have 9 and 10 on my computer this can help run older programmes
I have all expansions and have had no problems . You can speed things up by taking off administrater rights if you dont need them. I remember when XP came in and I took some time for people to get use to .
Vista has improved with service pack one . ??? ::)
