Hey,

I hope that there is someone out there that can help me... Like any "normal" human being, I am addicted to the Sims 2, and have devoted many hours of valuable life to evolving my neighbourhoods... However, one day I came up with the great idea of backing up my EA Games folder. However, instead of copying my current folder over an old backup, I actually did the opposite - overwriting my current folder with an older version, so devolving my neighbourhoods to an earlier state... I was, understandably, distraught! However, the .package files for my sims and lots are still there, taunting me, in the Character and Lot folders - I can see the information stored in those Kilobytes, but just can't access them - the game doesn't even realise they are there becuase the neighbourhood package file has changed :weep:

There must be something I can do! I have tried everything I can think of in the game and with the files, but nothing works. I have just discovered and downloaded the SimPE executable, so maybe there is something I can do with that, but if anyone has any suggestions at all, I would love you forever...

Anyway, sorry for going on so long... :blah: But it IS, after all, the end of the world... :weep:

Thanks for your time,

I feel your pain There is almost nothing worse than losing your simmies

I dunno if this will work, but can´t you copy the .package files you know are the ones you want, uninstall Sims 2, then reinstall it and put the packages back? Dunno if you know what i mean OR if it would work but i hope it does :weep:

This is not a moding question. You are much more likely to get the help you need if you post to the right forum.
