Waaaa problems!
I re-installed Sims2 but am having problem with custom content. I downloaded some hairstyles and stuff into my Downloads folder, but none of them appeared in my game. I went into the folder and saw that they weren't associated with any program, so I chose Sims2Pack Clean Installer. There were a few issues with the program (like it telling me it hadn't installed properly or something, probably due to the switch of the boot drive from drive C to D), but it still installed the packages that I wanted it to install fine. However, I wasn't sure of this at the time, and decided I wanted to get it back to its proper association. I told it to open with what I thought was the program used, The Sims 2 Body Shop Package Installer, (Program Files>EA Games>The Sims 2>CSBin) but when I try to open the package files now, it opens what looks like the right program but tells me "Please double-click a custom content package file to install the content." Well, I did. But it's not working. Any suggestions?

The only reason I can think of for not having your stuff show up would be because you don't have custom objects enabled in the game. You could double check that first.
After that you should download something completely new, maybe from the official site and see if it works. If not, then there is obviously something else corrupting your downloads
You should look through all of your downloads and move the possible corrupters to a new folder on your desktop as well. Insimenator, for example, is usually the number one culprit. -.-
And if you decide to uninstall/reinstall again, then you should manuelly go in your MY Documents folders and take out EA Games then check in your Program Files for any Ea Games/Sims 2 folders after uninstalling. Stuff gets left behind all the time. Also, if you're using saved games and such from the deleted version then that could be the problem. Expansion packs aren't very friendly with each other when it comes to custom content. Try putting all your EPs back before playing.
Hope you get your problem fixed. :]
