Default Downloads folder changes size when running game
My downloads folder changes from around 5 GB when loading to 8 GB when running. Is this a something to be fixed or something I'm just not understanding?

First picture shows 'The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection Properties'. Second pictures show the properties on your Downloads folder. Or certainly that is what I am seeing in your pictures.

Looks like you checked the "Sims 2 UC" folder when you got the 8 GB result, and the "Downloads" folder when you got the 5GB result, so I can't see anything wrong.

It's common for the full savegame folder to have around 1-3 GB of files on its own when the Downloads folder isn't counted, maybe even more depending on how many hoods you have and what else you've got in there.
