Found An Odd File

<< < (3/4) > >>

Hey^^
''In DOS systems, a file with a.BAK extension, indicating that the file is a backup. Many applications produce BAK files as part of their autosave procedure. Periodically, you may want to search for BAK files and delete old ones.'' [ taken from http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/B/BAK_file.html ]
So it looks like it's just a backup - maybe part of a recovery file from the rar/zip? I think it should be safe to delete :s

You might also want to look at this:

I recently noticed to when i was cleaning my downloads.You are sure it is safe to delete?
What exactly is a replacement file?!!?

Trepie22:
I'm not sure but if it's just a back up then it implies that you've got an original and a back-up, which you shouldn't need.
I don't know if Sims 2 recognises that extension as CC that it can use?

Tenshii~Akari:
Yes, the .bak files are perfectly safe to delete, since Sims 2 doesn't read that file extension.  Those are usually spawned when files have been edited in SimPE and the changes are saved.  All of them are really just as explained:  backups from the previous copy.  So, if something happens to the original file, changing the .bak extension to .package brings up the workable backup copy.  :angel:

Thank you, again. Moderator Tenshii. :love7:
