I did all that, i have it activated, in the downloads folder, and it still wont show up.
@Venusprimrose , a couple of things. The EA Games folder does not appear until you have started the game for the first time. The game itself generates it upon the first time it starts up. Simply adding an EA Games folder won't do anything. If you have created one, delete it. You can move the Downloads folder to your Desktop if you have already added CC/Mods. Make sure before you start up the game after doing this that you have downloaded and used Graphics Rule Maker to add your video card data to the Graphics Rule.sgr file so the game will recognize your video card.
So, now that you have deleted the EA Games folder, start up Sims 2. It may take a few minutes longer than normal because the game is creating the file. Once you see the Neighborhood start up screen, pick a neighborhood and play for about an hour or so to make sure that at least the game is working ok. You can save if you wish to, but it's not required. When you quit the game go to the Sims 2 folder (found Documents > EA Games > Sims 2) and you should see several folders within the Sims 2 folder and now you can safely add the Downloads folder and your CC should now show up in your game.
Please let me know if this works.
