Have you enabled custom content? That might explain why the downloads are not showing up. It doesn't explain why your neighborhood is not showing...
Your C: drive is large. Mine is only 125G (which boils down to about 90 gb after it's enabled.) So, yours is actually pretty big.
If you try to put in your EA Games folder without removing the old one's contents first, then you'll need to make sure to say "yes" when it asks...
That sounds like a good place for it. I have something similar on my harddrive. (I have a specific harddrive that has all the stuff I've saved...
It doesn't matter where you extract it to as long as it isn't in the EA Games folder. You can unzip them in your Patches folder and then do the...
If you are using CDs to install the game, use the CD version. If you have the digital versions (downloaded from the TS2 store), you'd use that. I...
Put everything back in once you have the whole lot installed and patched. You want to make sure it launches ok without anything in it.
Yep, I mean in the start menu, not on the harddrive.
I would go to EA Games under Programs. There is a link there that says "uninstall" for each EP. Doing it that way makes it so that you're less...
"saved sims" is the simbin. "lot catalog" is the lot bin. The "sims2 file" is "The Sims 2." In your case, with the addition of the "Store"...

Alternatively, I suspect that you can just remove the TS2 file from the folder after you've saved the parts you want to save. That's what I always...
When you open the zip file, it gives you an .exe file. You just double click on it and it will install itself where it needs to go. The old...
You can check the EP with a new neighborhood. You don't have to use the one that you've been working on. Any neighborhood will do. If you want,...
You patch after it's installed, but it must have the previous EPs patch already. So if you don't do any patching until the end it might not work....
Some additional EPs won't install correctly if you don't patch before they're installed. But when they start doing the combination packs, it could...
You don't direct download the patches into your game. (You should get a choice whether to install or to download to a place of your choosing.) You...
I would look for the patches now to make sure it's worth installing the new EPs, which it wouldn't be without the patches. Those patches are...
You're going to need to reinstall all the patches as they go away when the games are uninstalled. If you don't uninstall the games before you add...
