Reinstall order of events...additional help needed...

[Ivy]

Hrm...okay well my makeup doesn't work in a subfolder in either place, and my haks aren't working in the downloads subfolder.

Errors or normal? Any guesses?

Thanks,
Ivy

Hrm...haks aren't working anywhere.  I copied them over from the CD backup that I made, so I'm not sure which step I missed.

Well, I have re-downloaded them all and then some.  I will attempt to reinstall from there instead of using the backup cd.

Hacks should definitely work in a subfolder.  I even have my Hacks subfolder divided up by creator.  Hope it all works out for you.

Thanks.  I haven't had a chance to reinstall them (again!) yet to find out.  But obviously I did something wrong when I copied them over from the cd that I had them saved on.  Now what precisely that is, I have no idea...lol.

Just frustrating in a way.

In another way, I found some other haks that I want to use now...lol.  So it was good to go hak-hunting

Well the haks are working now as they should.  Still doesn't make sense as to why none of them would work before...but they're all there now.

And try as I might, makeup does not work in a subfolder either for me.  I think this is normal.  It's unfortunate that everything can't go into its own subfolders.

Downloads and Saved Sims are going to end up one huge disorganized mess!

I'm so sorry that happened! at least you managed to save something. When my HD crashed I didn't make a big deal about losing my sims stuff, since I lost more importan things anyways...

But now that I'm playing the game, I find myself missing thath very first family I made, and some very cute lots I spend sweat and tears building...*sighs*

I can certainly understand that and sympathize, believe me!

The ones in this particular neighborhood have been around with me for a long, long time.  Without JM's fixes, I'm sure it would have died a long time ago.

Slowly I'm finding the stuff to replace what I lost.  It'll take a while I believe to find everything again!

I'm still missing some particular makeup that I really liked, as well as two outfits that I cannot seem to locate either at the moment.

After so many hours of looking at downloads trying to find them, you rather leave yourself with no time to play other than long enough to make sure you don't have any corrupted downloads! Viscious, viscious cycle!

I'm not giving up yet on the stuff I'm missing though.  Hopefully soon I will locate everything again!
