Two Basic Questions
Darkstormyeve:
Q1. When looking in my downloads folder I see lots of files with just weird numbers and letters in their title. No 'words' at all. Can these be deleted?
Q2. Can I put all my downloaded clothes and genetics into my 'Saved Sims' folder?
Thankyou
Stormy.

Q1: No - but you can delete all the empty files, or red-marked files, using the Clean Installer. With the Clean Installer, scanning the Downloads folder, you will see the description of all these "long numbers", and only then you have to decide if delete them or not.
Q2: I don't think so. But you can make a sub-folder in the Downloads folder, named Clothes, and put all the clothes there. I tried to do that, but sometimes the clothes didn't appear in the inventory - be aware of that.

Pescado says these files with funny numbers should be deleted on sight. These are usually hacks that get installed when packaged with lots from the Exchange. Read his post here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=8.msg918#msg918, as well as the other posts in this thread.
Clothes and genetics can be placed in Saved sims. They won't work in subfolders. Hacks and mods can be placed in subfolders.

No, Pescado says that if they show up as hacks (red in S2PCI) and have no name they should be deleted on sight. If they aren't red they could be almost anything, clothes, eyes, skintone, etc. Stormy, I already replied to your post at VS, but I'll say it again here.
short answer is maybe and yes :P
Those files with an alphanumeric code are files that have been imported with lots, the only way to find out what they are and if you want to delete them is by looking at the file with something like SimPE or S2PCI.
And yes, you can put all bodyshop downloads in the saved sims folder, that's where all mine are, as long as they aren't in a sub folder of the saved sims folder.

Thanks everyone. I posted at VS too as it was 22:00 when I was sorting my downloads folder and getting tired so I needed an answer asap. I decided to delete to those mystery files as I sort of agreed with JMP's post about if it don't show a name, you don't want it. Ended up having 57meg of these files so they weren't empty but I will run my game tonight and see if it explodes.
