Mrs Flynn,
I just wanted to let you know that i followed your instrutions about starting a new sims 3 folder and I am now able to use the share button so that i can save my renovations to venues to my portable hard drive and upload to the exchange if i so choose to. I want to thank you so much for all your help and I made rebecca's cafe from isla paradiso into a tiki bar, now I'm saving a copy to my hard drive so that when, and I say when i have the next issue with sims 3, because there's sure to be an issue, i can just plug in my hard drive and put my venues into my game. thanks again for all your help! big hugs to you!
