2006 holiday mini-pack problem
HelloKit:
Since I had already purchased the 2005 holiday stuff pack, a couple of weeks ago I purchased the 2006 mini-pack which only adds the items that are new this year. I purchased the downloadable version (I'm not sure if there is a physical CD version of the mini-pack?). I downloaded and installed it via the EA Link downloader, and it appeared to install just fine. But I can't find the new objects in my game, EA Link still shows it as "ready to install" rather than "ready to play", and when I try to install it again it says it's already installed.
What files should I look for to know if it really installed or not, and if the files are there, is there any other reason the objects would not be showing up in my game? Does anyone know where the registry entry or flag is that tells it the mini-pack is installed, so that I might be able to "unflag" it and try installing it again?
BlueSoup:
I had the same thing, it still shows ready to install on the Downloader, but it is installed. I just took a look at the official site and the objects list, and then double-checked that the objects were there. They are, so I am not worried about it.

Quoting my own readme:

The Holiday packs are not full-fledged Expansions, but simply provide a number of holiday-themed objects and sims clothing. To find their contents on your system, look in the following directory:
\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins\
There, look for a file named "H05.bundle.package" or "H06.bundle.package". They contain the holiday data.
HelloKit:
Okay, well there's my problem. The H06 package is not there. So for whatever reason, it thinks it installed, but never wrote the package file. Anyone know how to make it stop thinking it's installed so I can install it again?

I've never used the EA Link/EA Downloader, so I can only surmise that either you have made an error or their server became confused during the process. It may be possible that they only use the registry to track that, but I highly doubt it. It may be possible to contact EA tech support and fix it that way.
