Where do the Holiday Pack files hide?

[Aelia]

I'm trying to make a new mesh from the Kimono that came with the 2006 Holiday Stuff Pack but I are blind Aelia who cannot find the required files to extract said mesh and the pack doesn't seem to have a directory. I assume they've either hidden themselves away in some odd location or attached themselves to the base game or an expansion pack.

Could somebody point me in the right direction please?

From what I can remember, they do "attach" themselves to the base game, and appear with the rest of the original clothing.

The actual file is in Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins.

Ha, so they are, thank you for that.

Now what remains to be seen is just why the fuck Maxis decided to put them there!

Because that pack installs more like a patch than anything. This was before they made Stuff packs install like an EP.
