What happened to my freaking custom content!!!

(1/2) > >>

angelyne:
This is the second time this happens to me.  All of a sudden, for no apparent reason a whole bunch of custom content disappears from the game.  Nothing to do with the cc switch, I have that turned off.  And beside some of my cc is there, I am just missing a bunch.  Floor, wallpaper, objects.  And they are gone from the catalog as well.  Just as if I had removed them from my download folder, which I obviously did not.

All the stuff that has gone missing seems to be in one folder.  Yet the folder has never been moved. 

Has this happened to anyone?

ElfPuddle:
Obvious question alert: how's your CEP? newest version?

angelyne:
I have version V. 4.3 released 30 Oct 2006.  I doubt it's relevant however, since the content that disappeared wasn't just the stuff affected by CEP.  It was new objects, wallpaper, flooring, ect, basically the content of an entire folder

I have fixed the problem, yet I still don't understand how it happened. 

I went into my d/l folder and moved the folder "old farmstead" from EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads\Lots.Residential to directly at the root of my downloads folder and the content has reappeared.  This is very bizarre!

witch:
I had to move a lot of sim stuff to the root folder, the objects are fine lower down, but my sim clothing etc is not.  :-\

angelyne:
That's a problem that was well known with the original game, but was fixed with University I think.  I've been using nested subfolders and some of them were pretty deep without any problems before.  I wonder what changed.

And it's more bizarre than that because it worked and then suddenly stopped working.
