These copies can sometimes also be corrupt, worse the game will often use them in preference to the real files. Instead of just skipping over existing files, or asking you if you want to skip or replace them, the game installer will create a copy which has a long and incomprehensible filename. The game installer works fine for installing custom content provided you do not have any of the included files in your game already. It can also help view and organize custom content (instructions for that are available from CPI website) Why is it better than The Sims 2 sims2pack Installer? It is a small program which opens sims2pack files, allowing you to install any custom content that comes in a sims2pack file typically houses and complete Sims but sometimes also walls, floors and terrain paints. The second method is to use a separate program called The Clean Installer
To avoid this problem when installing houses with custom content I recommend you use one of these alternative methods to keep your game tidy and your files in tact: Method 1 (Recommended) These copies can become corrupt when they are created and the game will use these copies in preference to the original file you already had in your Downloads folder! If you are a house builder who likes to share your lots online then it's important to be aware of this issue because these copies easily get circulated. It gives these copies long incomprehensible file names so it's very hard to idenitify what these files actually are when managing your Downloads folder. If the game installer finds a custom content item that is already installed it creates a copy - if you install the same item in several different houses, you'll get several copies.
Unfortunately the game does a really bad job of both creating these sims2pack files when creators export their houses, and also when downloaders try and install them when the houses contain custom content. By default The Sims 2 will open sims2pack files and allow you to install them into your game. Sims 2 Houses come in a installable sims2pack file.
