Hiddensecrets,

My suggestion would be to

Sim-mer down, this sounds like it could turn out to be a hot issue,  :-[


Can you tell me when you down load, clothes hair makeup ect.,

where do you download them to,  :'(

I mean is this a decorator or model game, like dress up barbie doll or something like that ?

 :D

Ok, i download clothes hair makeup ect.
That one totally threw me off at first.  Thanks for clearing it up.  Heh.

Now...how long have you been having this problem?
Are you sure you're following the proper procedure for importing these items?
What OS do you have?  Video card?

Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the game, so I can't test this out...but maybe you're just getting some bad files?


Jp,
It's a life simulation game.

Ok, uhm. A few months ago, I started playing it. But i realized all of my stuff i downloaded had been deleted.. My mom checked my PC and found that the file that everything was in was gone.. So after that happened, thats when the problem started.

I guess you guys wouldn't know how to help because I have no idea what kinda video card I have.. and I have no clue what an OS is.  :-\

OS = Operating System (Windows 98, Windows XP, Linux, etc.)

For your video card...go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information.  In the left panel, click on the + next to Components and then click on Display.  In the right panel, it should display the name of your video card.  This information can also sometimes be found printed on the front of your PC.

As for your game...have you tried reinstalling it?  It sounds like certain files may have been corrupted, based on your description.  First, make sure you have the latest patch.  If that doesn't work, you may need to reinstall.  This will be a bit of a pain, but I would suggest backing up your savegame files, uninstalling The Sims 2 (and any expansions), running Cleaner and Issues on CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com) (install without Yahoo! toolbar), rebooting, and reinstalling your game.  Phew.

That certainly would be entertaining.  Heh.  In any case, I'm glad you got it sorted out.  Thanks for actually updating us.  But I'm a bit curious about how it was fixed.
