I am having issues with my game loading a house it will go through the who load screen and then the hourglass just keeps spinning and spinning and no house loads. I think what i did wrong was ( duh) converted everything in my downloads folder to ep ready ... including walls, floors, skins and objects... I don't think I was supposed to do the walls and floors but creators aren't listing the walls very well and I was having other issues that I thought were because I had content not ep ready... Anywho is there a fix or do I have to reinstall the entire game?

If you didn't turn it of, the SimPE auto Backup is enabled, which has created a .bak File for each File you fixed.

assuming you did the fix just once to each File, those .bak Files contain the package File before the fix, so just move your package Files to a save place and rename the .bak files to .package and you will have your old Files back.

It is in the same Folder, your package Files are in. So probably my Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Downloads.
