I think you may have misunderstood those instructions. Art files are placed in the sgsm folder directly, unless otherwise directed. Rosters go in the saves folder.

You don't put the sgsm folder anywhere. You locate it, and put files in it. By default, it's C:\Program Files\EA Sports\NBA Live 08\sgsm. If you installed NBA Live 08 to a different folder, then sgsm will be under that folder instead. If in doubt, use Windows' search function.

Jerseys - if they are a .viv file - go in the uniforms folder which is found within the sgsm folder. Courts, if they are likewise .viv files, are placed in the stadia folder within the sgsm folder. All other art files go directly in the sgsm folder unless otherwise directed.

There's no need to say "reply please" in every post.

If your sgsm folder is empty then it's the wrong folder. You need to find the existing sgsm folder, not create a new one. I'm sorry, but I really don't know how to explain it any more simply than it has been already.

If it's still there after you've reinstalled then it can't have been completely removed.

You need to make sure that you've removed every single file related to that patch. If it's still showing up, there are still some files left to be removed.

If they're not working, it means they're not installed properly. Note that some .zip and .rar files retain folder information, so it's easy to end up extracting patches to sgsm\sgsm\ instead of placing them directly in the sgsm folder (or wherever they need to be).

As explained before, faces and portraits go directly in the sgsm folder.

Doesn't matter. So long as they end up in the right place, it doesn't matter if you extract them somewhere else and then move them.

If they're not working then they're not placed in the correct place. Simple as that.
