I have the sims 3 and a couple expansion packs as well downloaded on my current laptop. For my graduation present, I am getting a new laptop but am concerned about my games. Wouldn't the uninstalling delete my progress in the game? I want to post my legacy story in the forums sometime soon, but is there a way to transfer my game files to the new laptop so that I can keep playing my legacy family?

-go to documents/Electronic Arts
-right click The Sims 3 and select cut
-paste onto external drive, flash drive or sd card
when you install on the new computer:
-launch the game to make sure its working properly
-than replace the Sims 3 folder in documents/Electronic Arts with the one from your flash drive, sd card, or external drive
**You can also burn the folder onto a cd or dvd instead of steps 1-3**
I get a separate drive for the folders so I know I have enough space.
Thanks for warning me, I will keep this in mind when I reinstall.
