SIMS 2 PC


Question Posted Tuesday August 21 2007, 8:57 pm

i played the game on my sister's account, and made big families and all that. she doesn't like to log into her account all the time just so I can play my sims characters.. but its too late for me to make it on my account, since I've already gotten really into the game I was playing. and she has a password on her account which she wont take off anytime soon.

so i was wondering, is there a way, like in the Sims 2 files, that I can move some files to my account, so I can play the same sims characters from there to mine? and i played with the Broke family on my sister's accoumt. is there a way I can basically switch Pleasantview from my sister's account to my account? because I made people have like relationships and all that stuff.. so I can just remove the families alone. i hope this isn't too confusing... and thanks for helping!

Login to your sister's account on the computer, then go to the "My Documents" folder. There should be a folder inside called "EA Games", and in that should be one called "The Sims 2".

The full path to that folder would be
C:Documents and Settings(your sister's name)My DocumentsEA GamesThe Sims 2

Copy everything in there to a removable disk or a temporary location that you can access from your account.

Now log off your sister's account and login to yours, and copy all the files into your "The Sims 2" folder.

That is,
C:Documents and Settings(your name)My DocumentsEA GamesThe Sims 2

Warning: by doing this, anything that's already on your account will be overwritten. If there's anything there you want to keep, copy the files in that folder to somewhere else first.
