Do you have "Custom Objects shown in Catalog" enabled in the game options?

Do you have the color enabler from the simPE site? You need that in order
to see some of the recolored furniture.
Also, make sure you are looking in the right spots in the game.
Floors and walls do show under whatever category the creator put them in.
For objects, you have to click the type of object, then choose from the
flyout. User-made objects will have a star (asterisk) on them.
You may have to scroll in the dialogs to see all the items.
Same goes for makeup and clothes, as far as the star and the scrolling.
Ready made sims will be in the area where you create a sim, you just need to
click the button for a ready-made sim after you decide the family name and
male or female, adult, etc.

Yep. Did everything and nothing comes up. No floors, walls, objects..
nothing I downloaded is working. I rechecked the files and they are there,
just not in the game.

Ok so we are narrowing down the trouble - What kind of 'game enhancing'
patches are you using ?

You don't need to use PE, but you do need the color enabler to see the
recolors in your game. Or some of them anyway.
You can get it here...

Could be that you need to install the official patch (maybe this is the
undefined 'problems with third-party-downloads) - but you won't be able to
do that with the nude patch installed. Check to see if the program you ran
to nude patch your game saved a back-up of your exe in the same directory.

I did not even install the patch, 1st one or 2nd one. But, I do have the
color enabler.

Samantha, bear with me here, what folders do you put your sims2 downloads
in?

It's the one that goes into the config folder.

In which case my help is useless. BG2 might be on to something with the
colour enabler. Are these objects that you have downloaded things that
originally had more than one colour in the game. Many of the latest objects
(specifically those that re-colour something that only had one colour
originally) need an extra download to work. Some modders placed a link on
their pages pointing to this program and others did not. If you go to
http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=35224 this is (I think) the
latest version of the CEP and you should try downloading and installing it.

Ah ... The nude patch ... naughty naughty.
Perhaps the nude patch is making the objects invisible ?
