Question Posted Thursday September 11 2008, 8:00 pm

okay so i have the sims deluxe edition and a bunch more of them. i had all of them downlaoded a long time ago but then one day my brother decided that he wanted to un-downlaod them so he got them all deleted from the computer, so now im trying to redownlaod them and the whole thing downlaods smoothly and stuff then right when it gets to 100% complete on the downloading it stops and a popup comes up saying that it cant downlaod it because its already in a folder or something...ive tried so many times an again and again the same thing happens.

Technically if you deleted it, he didn't undownload it so it should still be able to be found without you downloading it again. Because it is their so you don't need to download it again.

How to get to the game! :
1) First click "start"
2) click "all programs"
3) Look for "EA games" and put your mouse over that [dont click it]
4) It should have the names of the sims game you want there.
5) and just click one [make shure the CD game is in for the correct one]
6) Play!

In case it doesn't work:
1) click "start"
2) click "my documents"
3) There should be a folder titled "EA games", click that.
4) it should be under one of the 2 folders there are. [but in some cases it isn't]

Also, if it still doesn't work:
1) click "start"
2) click "search"
3) A box should pop up and in the lower-left-hand corner there should be choices of what to search click "all files and folders."
4) in the first box type sims
5) it will look through till it finds it. Once you see one of the sims things you want click it.

As you can see there are a few ways to do it. So hope I helped!
