IMHO before you install a .Sims2Pack the only way to see what is in it would
be through Clean Installer (although I could be wrong again). If SimPe now
produces a useful picture why not use S2CI to extract your downloaded files
to a special folder and then examine them more closely with SimPe?
As to the other thing - why not move your folder to the desktop and then run
the game. If it recreates everything (which it used to do prior to Uni) then
you are fine, and if it doesn't you can put your old folder back.
