Help! What am I missing?
Moi:
Hi, everybody!
I've been going through my downloads folder using the 50/50 method (sort of!). I added the first batch of downloads, started the game, added the second batch, started the game, ectera. Well, I'm half way through my downloads folder when I came across two files I had taken out of my game early in the process of finding the offending file or files. I put these files back in my download folder and sure enough the game wouldn't load. Took them out and loaded the game just fine. Then I tried loading the game with each file seperately, and both times the game wouldn't load. I'll continue redownloading the rest of my custom content a batch at a time and get back to you when I'm finished
P.S. I don't know what the files are. I just haven't taken the time to find out, yet, but will let you know. The file names for both files are one of those really long number names if that helps.
Again, "Thank you!" to everyone who has helped me with this! Without my 'Sims 2 fix' I'de be a basket case of nerves and stress - I have 3 teenagers at home - one being a 16yr old girl! With Sims2 I can create all the teenagers I want, turn off free will and they will do everything I tell them to do! LOL! If only real life was so easy!

Rule of thumb: If they have a stupid number filename and you don't know what they do, and your game loads fine without them, you don't need them. Burninate them out of there.
J. M. Pescado:
Always delete stupid number-name files. They should never be there.
maxon:
Those long numbery filenames came in with a lot or sim you installed without Clean Installer. It's the Maxis Installer that renames them that way. This probably means they are relatively old and out-of-date hacks are known to sneak in that way. So, yeah, unless you know exactly what they are (and you can have a look at them with Clean Installer and see if you can work it out), delete the buggers. I still have some of those kinds of file from right back when the game was first released and I didn't know any better. They're skins and continue to work just fine but I do know exactly what they are - you can also rename files like this without problems.
miros:
Or worse... A file you inherited from someone who installed it with the Maxis installer!
