Have to transfer Sims to another computer

[zawazawaii]

how could i resist? it's all i want...and now i guess i've got it.

So I'm moving in with my dad and I have to get all the Sims stuff that was on my mom's computer onto my dad's.

How should I go about doing this? just grab the EA Games folder and drag it onto a blank disc? Or will I lose it forever?

how it happened, i don't know...hope it doesn't last forever.

Copy the entire sims 2 folder. Do you have a lot of downloads or more than one neighborhood?

If you have a lot of downloads, I'd say start over fresh. The only thing you'd absolutely need would be any custom skins and custom eyes. (If the custom skins are default replacement, then it won't hurt to take those out.) Anything else will revert to random Maxis meshes.

If you have any hacks that change major coding like Inteen, be sure to read all the stuff that comes with it. It asks you to terminate or complete all pregnancies before taking the hack out.


If you can, the best thing to do would be to just take the entire folder. I actually transfered my game over to another computer, and I put my entire sims 2 folder, downloads too, on a 4 GB USB drive.

That's what I thought.

I have a lot of downloads, but I know where I got most of them if I had too many. Plus I have a few backed up on discs.
