The Sims itself has one userdata folder whereas the expansions have multiple userdata folders representing the various neighborhoods.
Some of the houses and lots have custom textures in them. This means that there are Walls and Floors that don't come standard in the game used in these houses. In these cases, we have included all of the floors and walls that you will need in the Zip file. Make sure you put them in the corresponding folders as shown above.
Note: The basic game is limited to showing 200 textures at any time.
