patches

I previously have downloaded the patches, I am not sure if I have them all...so, here's the questions:

a) went to the sims2 site, attempted to download some patches, kept getting a "404 page not found" :( anyone know if this is just a fluke? or has this been happening to others?

b) I seem to have the patches up to "number7", is it desperately necessary to get any others? Are there others? LOL I have the patches in a folder marked "patches" is that where they are supposed to go? sorry, it was literally years ago that I downloaded them & at that time didn't have much of any good working knowledge of proper 'handling' of the game. (example: didn't even know there was other sites like this one or any of the amazing things that could be done with custom)

Hope I have put this in the right place...I did have a look thru previous threads on this forum but couldn't find the answers...Thank you in advance :)

:sheep:

EDIT: okay, I have since gone back to the sims2 site & some of the patches are allowing me to download them (with mild difficulty of course), so the question is: How can I tell if I have actually run the patches? I remember downloading them but I seriously doubt that I installed them properly (probably didn't read instructions silly girl)...
:jest:

You can put your downloaded patches where ever you can find them again. And yes, the Sims2 official site is extremely flaky; if at first you don't succeed, either find another site that does what you need or try, try, again.

If you're not sure whether you've installed a patch, go ahead and try to install it. You'll get a message saying you've already done it, and no penalty accrues.
