Hi,
I have had the ultimate collection and found my old saved disc for the sims 2, but the neighborhoods, houses and sims will not show up.
Can someone help me know what i did wrong?
copied them to the ultimate folder, they wont show up, then researched and realized i have double deluxe and university installed and ultimate in a different folder.
now when i hover the icon on the desk top that i double click to play i get
program files 86 the sims 2 ultimate fun with pets Sp9
that folder has
CSBin
TSBin
TSData
do you know by chance where my files go?
Thank you for responding! i was just researching the files but there was not the right folders so i didn't move them there, i put them in the documents folder but they are not showing up
Okay, Neighborhoods go in - Documents\EA Games\The Sims™ 2 Ultimate Collection\Neighborhoods
The Whole folder (N00#)
Now, before you move it, make sure there isn't already a neighborhood folder with the same number. Pleasantview is N001; Strangetown is N002, Veronaville is N003. If you are moving one of those, make sure to delete the newest from the neighborhoods folder and then paste your N00# folder.
The families associated with those neighborhoods will be in that folder.
The Whole Folder is what you move -
This is what is in the folders (if you had all the expansions and subhoods attached) leave them there. Don't remove or mess with these
.................
Now, are you talking about your Sims in Bodyshop? (SavedSims folder)

The old saves go into the Documents save files - Documents\EA Games\The Sims™ 2 Ultimate Collection

The saves are in My Documents just like TS3 and TS4. Don't mess with the game files in My Computer unless you know more.
