Reinstall order of events...additional help needed...
Ivy:
Due to an unrelated computer crash, I have to reinstall all my Sims2 stuff. The backup drive that I had the game installed on crashed, as well as my main hard drive that I had my EAGames folder, etc. on. I did mange to get my main drive back and working, so I lost my game installations, my pre-uni backup, and all my clothing downloads (I had removed them temporarily due to a weird Uni glitch where my Sims suddenly couldn't buy *any* clothes)...(Go ahead, make fun that I hadn't saved to CD instead...but really, who'd have thought that BOTH hard drives would have crashed at once, eh? yeah lesson learned I won't be doing that again...)
At any rate, I have manually uninstalled and reinstalled TS2 & TS2U.
Now, my question is, do I reinstall my haks and etc. first; or to I reinstall my neighborhoods first? Or do I do both at the same time without starting the game up?
Call me ignorant that's ok, as I've never had to reinstall before and am unsure of the correct procedure. I tried to RTFM, but I couldn't find one...
Thanks in advance,
:) :) :)

You managed to save your hoods? Well, when I've been in that situation, I've always put them back first, then put the downloads in next, hacks last (but then I didn't really have any hacks to speak of). Since you've lost all your downloads, I'd put the hacks in next, then as soon as you've checked how your game is loading and running, I'd be off on a downloading spree!
Brynne:
I just bought a new laptop a couple weeks ago because my old one died (4 months old!). I had backups of everything, but I didn't save all my downloads folder. It was too big and I was sitting in Microcenter for hours backing up my old hard drive and I just figured I'd redownload everything again. Game plays fine, but I have many bald women in the same burgundy shirt and capris walking by my house!
I installed the game, then put in my hoods and saved sims, ran it to see if my hoods showed up, then went back and put in the downloads I did manage to save.
ZephyrZodiac:
One of my sims walked by a house I was just loading one day, and she was completely bald! So I exited and rushed back to her house, but thre was nothing wrong with her there! And she's turned up on various lots since witha full head of hair! Oh, the wierd and wonderful things that happen!
Ivy:
Hoods first, then haks, then off to try and find all the clothes and hair and makeup again!
Under a wee bit of stress lately and not thinking too clearly, so thanks for helping me out :) I appreciate it!
And yeah, I think those are my most recent 'hoods anyway. **looks longingly at disk** I hope so anyway!
If not, then there's nothing I can do to get them back. That other hard drive is dead dead. Not just slightly dead, not nostly dead, but dead dead with no resurrection in sight...no amount of chocolate pills will bring it back I'm afraid...
Thanks again,
:) :) :)
