Post subject: ok ---------i need some help here --restore--- backup------- restore -finding my sims i made in the games
Archived from groups: alt>games>the-sims (more info?)

i have sim2 , university , nightlife .

all are on the computer now.

i did backup sim2 long ago , virgin clean backup - then before i bother to
put any more expansion on the computer , i switched my sims2 back up ,
meaning i took out the sim2 i had used - and put back in the ea folder the
virgin sims2 back up in it .

i did backup the -document ea folder sim2 , and i did back up in
program sim2 which the nightlife booklet said to do whick seem to not have
changed at all what the point there?

{which only had maybe 4 sims i dowloaded into and played only 2 in the sim2
in veronville}

all this and that about backup and restore is like not very well explained
in them booklet i tryed mod2 too see more but i thought you folks can
help me here and maybe other by posting info for later look up? im behind
the time s i know it eeks.

so after all that i looked around in the files and i dont see much diff
except in doc ea games sims2 collection got some new stuff. i backed up and
moved out my download too and aand saved everytthing!
anyway i have 2 cowboys i downloaded in the sims2 before i put in the
university and nightlife , thinking i need more things to do in the game.
they attracted so many guests and they all stayed and danced and eat for
long time then they all left mm later late at night. the desert night is
nice i love that. i had spooky blow up air filled halloween decor that
lighted up really bright mm .

so i used to know where everyfile was for in maxis sim 1 long ago. now i
need to learm more about sim2 files ugh.

1 where are my cowboys sims downloads saved ,they are in the game and
played with in veronaville the desert hood? i backed up sims2 prgram and
documet file too i have window xp.

2 i made a sim in cas , where is he saved? and he not not in the game .

ps i had to much coffee on an empty tummy sorry i am posting so long a
posting . im looking forward to nightlife i think the university mmmmmmmmm
nto sure i read here that someone like the university pack for new love
interests vairety.

i still need to learn how to do 2 more thing s. i will post that
separate sigh . this game take a lot to learn egads.

You need to back up your neighbourhoods because the new exapnsion changes
the format of the files, and if you have problems and want to uninstall it,
the new files won't work without the expansion, but the back up one you
kept, will.
Backing up dowmloads is always a good idea anyway.

Everything you downloaded should be in My Documents/EAGames/Sims2. Sims
could be in Downloads, or in SavedSims.

A sim made in CAS doesn't get saved in the same way, he or she will be in
the family bin of the neigbourhood in which they got created.

I like it for that. Your sim can out and about and meet a lot of other
students.

You'll get there.Smile

Everything you downloaded should be in My Documents/EAGames/Sims2. Sims
could be in Downloads, or in SavedSims.

A sim made in CAS doesn't get saved in the same way, he or she will be in
the family bin of the neigbourhood in which they got created.

You need to back up your neighbourhoods because the new exapnsion changes
the format of the files, and if you have problems and want to uninstall it,
the new files won't work without the expansion, but the back up one you
kept, will.
Backing up dowmloads is always a good idea anyway.
