    Problems with export/import

    in The Sims 3 Builders
    I'm working with CAW to create a new world for myself. So I created some Lots for myself. Put a lot of work into them. I exported them to the export folder. Set them aside for a week. Yesterday I went to reinstall them in the Launcher and though it says success they do not install. I moved my sims3 folder to another location and I tried using a clean Sims3 with no content or mods with no luck either. I really hate to lose these 4 files is there anything I can do to get them to work? Or am I SOL.

      Any chance you saved a copy to your library before exporting them and could re-export them?

      Hi :)

      Did you build the lots in CAW's EIG?
      Did you try saving them to the Library while in CAW/EIG- closing CAW/EIG and going into the Game to see if they're in the library.
      That is how I save my lots built in EIG.

      So, you weren't using CAW/EIG when you built it? I thought since you mentioned building a world and working with CAW that you were. Too bad, it would still be in the world files you saved.

      You might upload it to a 3rd party site, such as mediafire, to see if anyone else can open it for you... something to try.

      I got it figured out. I used Delphy's Sims3Pack Multi Installer to extract the files directly to the Library folder and the were in game for me
