Re: Missing Plants in Sims 2

Thanks for getting in touch with me.  Yes the plants and other objects from inside the game went missing from buy, and build/buy garden.  Like the small cactus everyone smells, the big cactus, weeping willow and so much more.  The hydrangea shrub.  It happened when first I deleted Straingtown from my game and installed one of those cleaned up versions, but I put it under something other then downloads and I know I did not do it right.  The first thing I noticed in the game was anything that was on a lot in Straingtown was now unusable and also missing from the catalog. Telescopes, easels and so on.  I then got rid of that town and kept playing other hoods but hate all the stuff being missing.  I finely uninstalled and re-installed my game in hopes that would bring everything back.  I got Straingtown back but not the stuff.  I have got much of the stuff back off sights on line, but not my garden stuff or lots of plant items decor and garden from the mansion and garden pack.  I have the ultimate collection.  I know I messed my game up but would have thought reloading it would have brought it back. Please help if you can.

    Hi @kamra1961,

    Let's try something 😉 :

    1. With the game closed, go to Documents \ EA Games folder
    2. Move the "The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection" folder you will find there to your desktop or another safe location.
    3. Open your game. You won't have your sims or save games, but please, check if the plants and other objects are back.

    Everything is working as it should in this clean save game?
