Collection Issues

[Simsbaby]

Since installing Nightlife my game is not making clothing collections properly or can't read them. Could someone test this?
It has clothing from www.aroundthesims2.com

I could never proberly add sims to collection bins...I wanted to group sims by forum hoods and Maxis Exported Sims but as soon as I exited the game and went back the collections were gone...

Simsbaby,

Did you try putting the clothing in your SavedSims folder instead?  That's where I keep all my downloads having to do with Sim bodies.

I can't even make a collection with maxis clothing.

Do mean you put all the clothing files and the related mesh files in the Saved Sims folder?

Yes, that's right.  I keep all the build and buy packages for lots, including object meshes and all hacks in my downloads folder.  Everthing to do with the Sim body - clothes, genetics, accessories and their related meshes, I keep in my SavedSims folder, since Body Shop uses this folder, too.
