restore saves
« on: May 22, 2017, 08:49:04 PM »
hey folks! i just upgraded my harddrives and i'm not 100% sure how to put my old sims saves back in there... i've reinstalled sims already, and i have the old sims files in a backup HD. would someone please tell me (in very much layman's terms ^^') what files i need to copy/paste and to where? i haven't played in over a month while i waited for the harddrives to get here so i'm kinda dying to play lol. so i hope someone is around who can answer this tonight! ;D
thanks in advance for any help!~

If you've backed up your Sims 4 folder on a flash drive, hard drive or whatnot, take it to your new computer and copy it to it. More details can be found in the post linked below.

If you want to break it down further than that, see the link below -
