Please...Is there any way to restore files??!!
SimGirl20:
Thank you for your concern gali. I usually have no problems pulling files out of my directory, and out onto my desktop but I accidentally grabbed the WRONG folder from the wrong EA directory and thats how I got screwed. I am over it though, for the most part.. I have learned from my mistakes, and am trying not to overload my folder with useless crap, that I will NEVER use. I know what's good and what's lame, now that I have seen so much content. I am getting there though, slowly but surely. The main thing that hurt me so much is loosing things, you can't download anywhere, and that is things that I spent my time creating. I spent litterally months on clothes for my sims, and I went through alot of resources to make them, and I can hardly build a carboard box, but at times I would have a sudden adrendaline rush, and stay up hours constructing in my mind, beautiful lots that I put alot of love into and now they are all gone.. 4cry
I'm trying not to think about everything I lost, because it makes me want to slap myself in the face, for being so careless and not double checking the file... I appreciate everyone expressing there concerns though, it really does help to know people care. 2hug

I had screwed my game so badly once that I was on the verge of a nervous crisis. But there is one thing you can do to prevent future frustration: backups!
Now I always back up at least the currently active neighbourhood after each playing session, and my Downloads folder after installing new content. And because there is always possible something to go wrong, I don't delete the old backups. I keep them all naming them after the dates they are created.

I had 12 Gigs in my downloads folder when I overwrote mine.....I feel your pain.
SimGirl20:
-cringes- Oh my goodness scubabri! I wouldn't even be trying again if I lost that much, I do love the game though.
Nalia I know this is a silly question, but how would I make a proper backup? I am just so afraid I'll mess up again, I kind of know how, but just want to make certain that, that is the correct way in doing so. ;)
Nalia:
Naria is someone else. I'm Nalia. :D
Back up is any copy of whatever you create and store to a different location. Right click, copy and paste to somewhere else. I copy my Download folder, for example, to another partition of my hard disk, create a .rar file to bring the file size down a bit, and either leave it there or burn it to a CD. Same goes for my Neighbourhood folder.
By using copy and paste there is no way you would mess up things.
