I need help with installing a house. I downloaded this house but it wasn't being installed. So, I downloaded the Clean Installer. Whenever I try to install using the Clean Installer, it says "Could not find a part of the path", and then it says this shortcut thing. I tried researching about this issue but I couldn't find anything. If you can help me out, please do!!

Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\CSBin.
Choose PackageInstaller.
Make sure to check the "always open this kind of file with this program " option. Then click open or ok Then the install this package screen should come up.
I'll try this out in the morning. Thank you!
It is probably having issues because UC uses a different file path. I don't remember if I had to do this (it has been a while since I downloaded or used clean installer) You can try this though.
Unticking "Default installation"
Opening the dropdown where it says Teleport (for lots) or SavedSims (for sims)
Clicking Browse
Selecting the Teleport or SavedSims folder in your Ultimate Collection folder (in documents)
If you want Clean Installer to do this automatically every time:
Open the folder where you installed Clean Installer (usually, C:/Program Files (x86)/Sims2Pack Clean Installer)
Copy the file S2PCI to your Desktop
Open it with Notepad
Change the line
SaveGamePath=""
to say
SaveGamePath="C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2™ Ultimate Collection" (or whatever file path leads to your game folder in documents)
Save and close Notepad
Copy the file back into your Clean Installer folder, say yes you want to replace. (you can make a back up of the original if you would like.)
Then try to install again, check your teleport folder in documents/sims 2 uc to see if it installed correctly. You should be able to see stuff in there if it did, before launching the game.
Just search: Clean Installer Sims 2 on ModTheSims or in Google, and find it under Mootilda.
I'm trying to use Clean Installer to install the house but it's not working properly.
Sorry it is still not installing. You should be able to direct it to the folder. I don't know why it isn't working now.
OMG how did you do that?
I have no idea! I loaded my game and my family wasn't showing up!!
I was really upset about it last night because I was really attached to this family. Thankfully I wasn't very progressed with them.
That is so sad. Was the town they were in showing up? They are saved together.
The town was showing up, but they weren't. Like their house was empty and it was for sale
I tried going into the game files to find them (like TS3) but I couldn't.
What town were you playing?
Riverblossom Hills
I had played Belladona Cove once and it decided to reset itself one day, so I was wondering if it was the same town. Don't know why it did that, though. It hasn't happened again, but I don't really play in the premade neighborhoods so I don't know how common or not that glitch is.
That is so odd, I wonder how the sims just disappeared? The only way that should happen is if you delete or replace the neighborhood.
@Seera1024 That is weird, I have never had that happen. I have always plsyed with the game hoods, I never had a issue like that. I wonder what would cause that?
I have absolutely no idea. Luckily, I hadn't really played for long in the neighborhood so I didn't lose anything that I was deeply attached to. It sounds like it's the same thing that happened to @kaitlyn0 just to a different neighborhood, though. And unfortunately, due to that, I didn't memorize what I had done around that time so I have nothing I can even ask the OP if they did that or not.
Also, those plum lots STILL won't install! I think I'm hopeless...
I don't know about the OP and her neighborhood, but I had not done anything that would create a VBT in Belladonna Cove before it went belly up.
