    Hi @norshays,

    Sorry for the wait, let's try to find out what's going on! 😉

    We are going to do a test first, ok? We are going to check if the game created the user files wrong and that's why you are missing the lots in the bin. To do so, please, follow these steps:

    1. With the game closed, go to Documents \ EA Games.
    2. Rename the 'The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection' to 'The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection old'.
    3. Open your game. It might take a bit longer than usual because the game will be creating the files again. Don't worry if you don't have your save games, they weren't deleted, they are in the folder we renamed.
    4. Check your bin. Are there lots in it now?

    Let us know how it went, and we can decide what to do depending on the result,

    -Mai
