Want to play game on another computer.
« on: August 11, 2010, 10:53:50 AM »
OK the story. I am going to my moms for a week. I would love to be able to play sims while I am there because it is a mini vacation for me from my dear little one. I mean she will be there also but I'll have two extra hands ;D I know I can load up the discs on her computer and play but I would really like to continue the games I am already playing. Is there a way to do that? Would I copy and paste the whole sims3 folder or just the saved games and where are those? Would I have access to the things that are bought from the store or do I have to redownload all of that also? Sorry for all the questions and thanks so much for the help.

You can transfer your saved games to a flash drive, then on your moms computer, just transfer them back into the sims folder on there. All you need to do is access your sims3 account from her computer after you install the games and download again.  I hope this helps.

Just this folder would be sufficient: (for Vista) [name]>Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3>Saves
That will include all your save files, but not the game and such itself. When you've installed Sims 3 on the other computer, just put all files from the folder described above in the equivalent folder and it should work.

There is no absolute truth, but the Forum Rules still come pretty close. Pay them a visit.
