This resource is found in the "ContentRegistry" file, a DBPF package, found in the TSData/Res folder of the game data folder, if you've installed official Maxis custom content. It also appears in most (excluding earlier ones) official Maxis custom content packages.

Notes
The strings contained within the game's data folder's "ContentRegistry" file appear to list the file names of all of the package files in the game, some other data files which could not be located, and some without names at all. This is possibly how the game determine "custom" content from "non-custom" content.
Downloading "official" Maxis objects, in the *.sims2pack format, will create a "ContentRegistry" file in the user directory as well. This file can be removed. Its possible that this resource (when found in downloaded packages) is used by the game to verify the package when downloaded from within the game and make sure it wasn't corrupted in transit.
