I need to know if this will work (problem inside)
Shaddeh:
First of all, I am a complete moron, who installed an expansion pack without backing up her saved-game files. It overwrote my files, so now I cannot uninstall the expansion without taking the saved game files with me.
This is depressing. It's been three months, and I want to play my damn game.
So, I had an idea.
What would happen if I took the saved game files, backed up everything onto a disc, uninstalled the expansion so I could play, then later when I could get the expansion to work, dump the files back into the game? Is this impossible, or could it work?

First of, what problem are you having that you want to uninstall your EP? If it's just because you don't like it and want to remove it from your game, then you're stuck with losing everything if you have no back up of your game pre EP. You can't restore your pre EP game by using a current EP backup, if that makes sense.
So you either have to live with the EP you hate, or chalk this up to a learning experience and lose your game when you uninstall.

Yes, you can backup your TS2 folder and set it off to a safe place, then reinstall it once the EP is working for you.

I bought a used copy of Nightlife, so for some reason, it didn't have the system specs on the box (because EA is a user-friendly company like that). It doesn't support my ATI Raedeon 7200 video card, and thus, the game undergoes a graphics meltdown whenever I go to Downtown. AKA, it crashes so I can't play.
@ancienthighway: That's what I wanted to know. I backed up my downloads + Neighborhood folder to a DVD.
I know I won't be able to use the save files right now, though. I wanted to fix it so my sister could play the base game at least.

OK..got it. I read your question wrong, my bad. :)
