Here goes nothing.

I am about to remove the Sims and reinstall it all.

I have my neighbourhoods saved.

I realise I'll lose most of my downloads :(

I however have many download items on CD so I can reinstall them in a neat way so I can tell which one causes the problem when I install it.

I just need to find my beloved purple coffee machine first. If there's any item I need it's that. It better not be on a pay site these days. I NEED it!
