Maxis family

I have been on a lot deleting spree, as my game takes now an hour to load, and I realized too late I had deleted Maxis families.
Could anyone point me to where i could find a list of these families? Not the ones in pleasantview in TS2, but the others, the ones in the bin I did not realize were from maxis, and the ones from expansion packs that could not be put in Pleasantview due to a lack of place, or originally in the bin. I have just realized thanks to the asterik that each expansion came with families.Why could they not asterisk from the beginning?
I have found a way of restoring these files on MTS2, but I need the picture of the lot.

Unfortunately you do have to register with fileplanet.com to download them but it only takes a few minutes.

Who's gone pay? Fileplanet? Are they not taking free memberships anymore?

You can still register for free (although, what's the point?) at fileplanet but in order to actually download anything, you have to pay for a subscription. I didn't realize they had changed their policy when I replied to IndiaSong's question. Pisses me off. I'm sure simsestates must know this, so I guess they now qualify as a PAYSITE. Maybe someone might think this is worth DESTROYING?

I still see free servers at fileplanet. They load below the paid ones, with a delay.

An hour??!!
I gotta say, you have the patience of a saint to wait that long... Mine takes about 5 minutes and even that's too long

Yea, like Jordi I still see the free servers and can download things just fine from there. So the stuff from Sim Estates 2 is still freely available.

I must be missing something... why do you need to download them? - you still have them in your default hood folder. Just take out your sims2 folder, start the game and there'll be an original Pleasantview for you to play with and if you deleted those defaults, they are still on your CD. Deleting lots containing sims is going to make a big mess in your game files. I wouldn't have thought what was left was going to last very long without a big BFBVOS. Packaging up played sims and re-using them is also dangerous because it's hard to prevent them taking junk into the new hood, but given the people who've already replied maybe I'm missing something.

Yes but if you actually click on the free servers, it redirects me to another page giving me the option to either pay for a month or for the year, it doesn't actually let me download anything. Is this only happening to me?

Yup. Check your cookie settings, fileplanet uses some obscure and insane authentication method which uses multiple cookies set on multiple domains.

Thank you for your replies. It is often difficult to get in.
As for the lots on Fileplanet, I had already downloaded them, but all the new ones are missing.
But I know i don't need to download them, they are in the game files.
What I need is to identify them to try and restore them. Their names and addresses.
Pets put an asterisk on the Maxis lots thumbnail. So I didn't delete those, but the ones from University and Ofb.
Does anyone have that information?
And I know an hour is too much. It happened recently, and deleting lots didn't help.
But my folder is huuuge.5gb for downloads and 7.5gb for objects.
I try to cull but I'm losing the battle.

For someone who thinks that your downloads should only equal half your RAM, Pescado sure is contributing to people having enormous downloads folders since he put up PMBD.

If you are looking for the families from the original lot bins, they will be in the lot bin when you start up the game fresh. Put them in a lot and then package them.
