Transfer to new PC

[danigeorge]

Hey people, later tonight I'm going to be buying a new laptop, and will hopefully by getting late night to put on it.
I currently have original sims 3 (DVD) and ambitions (downloaded).
Therefore I can install the original game, but I'm not sure how to get ambitions onto my new laptop.
I have thought about just transferring all the files, but don't know if that would work.
If it helps I have a large external hard drive which could be used as an intermediary.
I would appreciate any and all advice given!

Do you still have the code for the Ambitions download?

[danigeorge]

would that have been sent via e-mail?

Yes, probably.  You needed a code from Electronic Arts to install both the base game and Ambitions.  If you still have the code, you just have to download it to your new computer from the same place you originally downloaded it.

Thank you for the quick replies. I have solved the issue, and I am now re-downloading it via the download manager, along with Late Night. Looks like my parents will be paying for the extra internet usage this month.
