What doesn't exist? The bios file or the folder where you should place the bios?

Ah, coz its not there anymore. Its on the root of your sd card. The name of the folder is DraStic. Prolly beside the Download folder

So would I just install the bios files directly to the sdcard/drastic folder?

No, place it on DraStic/system.
Take note that if you played any other game besides the sims, their savestates won't work since you're using a different bios.

Are you sure you placed it on the right folder? Also, the bioses should be named like nds_bios_arm7.bin
