    I lost my long running city

    in The Sims (2000)
    I started my own city when ts2 first came out. So I decided to play it inserted my desk and got a message that the launcher didn't work anymore. I am now downloading ts2 ultimate, but I am very sad. I had such a huge city with graveyards full of generations of sims and sim pets. Now I have to start all over again

      That's so sad. :'( If it consoles you at all, the same thing happened to me about a year before The Sims 3 came out. I lost everything, including a world that I had spent many weeks on.

      Sorry for your loss, it would be terrible loosing all those gravestones.

      I lost all of my original sims2 in a crash, which would be okay, if I could just make my favorite family again.

      You know there is a way to move neighborhoods from game to game, right?

      On your computer, go to Documents > (Sims 2 game)* > Neighborhoods
      Find the neighborhood that is your city (May be hard due to Neighborhood names being like N001, but if you click the neighborhood, you can see screenshots by clicking storytelling)
      Copy the entire Neighborhood file into a separate folder from sims 2 or (if different computer) a flash drive.
      Then, load the neighborhood file into the Documents> (Sims 2 Game)> Neighborhoods on the target computer.
      Start Sims 2 and play your neighborhood.
      I did this when I got the UC on my laptop, and the game file seems to be working fine.

      * (Sims 2 Game) replaces the actual file for the game. I believe it might be just 'Sims 2', but for my Ultimate Collection, it is 'Sims 2 Ultimate Collection'.
