Hello,

It is possible that your Windows Defender and/or your other antivirus software tampered with the file. You need to make sure to add the download and installation folders that you use, to the "exclusions" in these programs. These are areas on the filesystem ("exclusion locations") which are ignored by the security software. Well, normally they should ignore them.

If you don't see the Sims2EP9.exe anymore under the folder #Crack, inside your Mansion and Garden Stuff subfolder of the download, you can re-download it here:

Temporarily disable your browser adblockers if you are having difficulties with downloading the file. You should extract with WinRAR after the download. Then you copy/paste the file under C:\Program files (x86)\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff\TSBin. Replace the existing file when prompted. Good luck!
