Morning all. I am trying to install some CC on the legacy game but I cant find the folder to put it in on my computer. I have the EA games folder that has the base game and all the packs but not the actual folders for the game to place the CC. I have tried searching for it but it's not there.
Thanks. Margaret.
You add a “Downloads” folder in yourself, it’s not automatically generated. Go to Documents>EA Games>The Sims 2 Legacy and load it up to find your folders, create a “Downloads” folder there and add in your mods.
Thank you. I will give it a try and let you know if it works.👍
They aren't the sims 4 ones like folders for tray files ect in the sims 2 folder. I don't seem to have those ones?
You don't need a tray folder. This is what it should look like for Legacy with a downloads folder, that's all you need to install Custom Content
That was an example. But the screen grab you posted,I don't seem to have that in my documents,programme folder or in the origins game folder.
I am currently trying to fix a problem to install DLC and just discovered something that might help you. I found files like on the screenshot above when i go to Base > TSData > Res in my sims 2 folder.
Thank you for the help and the reply. It didn't work.
Have been doing extensive searching, both before and after running TS2 Legacy. It exists only in C Program Files. The folder structure does not remotely resemble how the older version looked in Documents. The folders are Base, EP1, EP2 and so on. I have no idea where Luana6972 found the posted shot but nothing even remotely like it exists on my Windows 10 machine. Internet articles found refer only to Ultimate Collection. Am more than open to further enlightening.
victoriaFF1884 Have you launched the game at least once before looking for your Sims 2 user folder? It is created on the first launch. If you are unable to find it, open Command Prompt and paste this command, then press Enter:
reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" /v "Personal"
This should tell you the path to your Documents folder, where you should find EA Games\The Sims 2 Legacy\ folder.
Morning and thank you for the reply and help. I have played it since the game was available,but it just doesn't create anything. 🤷♀️ I'll give your suggestion a try and see how that goes.👍
Edit to add. When I put the reg query in and hit return it does nothing. Ok now it says the system cannot find the path specified.
