Need help with file

BrokenFEMALE wrote:I wanted to copy a household and lot package from my desktop to my laptop so I used the "share" feature to make the file. It has a couple and the house they lived in, in the file. I copied the file to a flash drive to my laptop. Now I want to save the file to my game but I can't figure out where to save it to. I tried SavedSims and Library but I don't see them show up along with the other households when trying to set up a new game. Where do I save the file?

Hello,

As for the sims, did you try to look here too (where the red arrow points to) ?



And your lot should normally be in the bin in "edit-town mode".

Alternatively, you might just copy the whole "The Sims 3" folder (My documents/Electronic Arts) to your other computer. And of course, paste it into the same location on the other computer too. By that you should have your mods/CC, saves and everything else back again.

I don't know where I need to save the file to get them to show up there because the package file contains both the Sims and the lot. If I can't figure it out the I may have to go back on the desktop and save only the Sims and just move them into a new lot on my laptop. But I wanted the house they were in too.

So I tried copying the file to the Sims 3 downloads to install it from within the launcher but when checked it won't allow the Install button to light up and the file has no file type or preview.

Just to be absolutely sure: if you click on the button in the picture, you should normally get a ".sims3pack" file in the "Exports" folder.This is basically what (most) uploaders on the "Exchange" do...

But sometimes the launcher itself is just bugging; maybe you can try to install these ".sims3packs" with CC Magic (google for that). But I have to leave soon; I'll come back to you later.

Hello,

I should have posted this before, but first I want you to try CC Magic, like I mentioned earlier. Here is a quick guide on that program: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t7029-the-sims-3-cc-please-make-sure-your-game-has-the-latest-software-updates-and-try-again-error-s-100-solution

If that doesn't work, I will think about how you can upload the file, so that I can check it. Good luck ! (and I should have posted that small CC guide in the link earlier   ).
