Builders' Boulevard

I had to reinstall sims recently, and while I've reput in all the custom patterns I'd downloaded from sites, I was missing a few that I'd obviously gotten through downloading other people's homes from the exchange. I redownloaded my own stuff and got a few more that I'd used in them, but I'm still missing lots including one of my favourite patterns. It's a kind of.. lace like, I guess? It was in misc, but I'd have no idea where I got it from.

Is there a way I can see what houses and the like I have previously downloaded from the Exchange, so I can maybe get them again to find that pattern?

Did you back-up your old files before reinstalling? If so, you should be able to find them in the "downloads" section of your launcher. I know all my old things are in there, and I reinstalled recently.

Nah

I backed up my saves and the like - but I wanted to get rid of all the back up back up custom content stuff, so I knew what was in my game. I just didn't realise that particular pattern wasn't one I actually had in my CC files. Oh well.
