simpler patches not working

Hi - sorry if this has been covered, but I searched and wasn't able to find anything for this specific problem.

I manually copied a bunch of stuff from an old library over into a new library. now I have this problem:

when I load simpler patches, they don't load the relevant audio file correctly. The reason is because I have copied all of these sounds into the wrong area.

When I load a simpler preset, it expects the audio file to be in

Library/Waveforms

however, I have copied all my sounds into

Library/Sampeles/Waveforms

so at this point - if I move the entire waveforms folder up, the simpler patches work but the sampler patches do not. if I move it back, the simpler patches no longer work but the sampler patches go back to normal.

i've tried doing the 'repair library', but it still doesnt work

what should I do? I really don't want to manually move all the simpler patches over!!

how would you go about uninstalling simpler and reinstalling it? I don't even see the seperate live packs for download anymore, just one big "legacy" pack

thanks for all your help but i'm going to just copy them over manually.

its the newest, 8.1.3

I apparantly do not have the 'simpler' live pack installed, and I actually cannot find it on ableton.com/livepacks


i've no idea how I got my library so screwed up, and i don't really care. i'm just going to move each relevant simpler audio file into whatever folder the program asks for so that it works and I can get back to making music.

thanks again
