Title: Sims On New Laptop!
Post by: Sane Enough on December 25, 2008, 07:10:46 am
Is the a way to put sims on a new computer from an old computer without installing with a disc?
Cause I can't find any of mine except the base and nightlife.

If you want to copy a neighborhood onto a flash drive from your old computer to the new one, yes you can.
Individual sims, though, you can't-they'd become corrupted in the move, and probably blow up your game.
You can also (if you really want to save them) save them to file in the game, but you'll have to build their traits back up and rebuild their families.
Sometimes it's best just to start from scratch.

I tried to rack my brain, but anyway you look at it, you will need to install the game on the new computer first in order to keep your old game.  I did it about a year ago when I got my new computer, but I had to install my games first.

... and without your discs you need, there's no way you can reinstall your game onto your new laptop legally, like BlueSoup mentioned. If you do want to stick with just up to EP2 on your laptop, it's probably best to go ahead and install the base game and that and start somewhat fresh from there.  :-\

So I'm really gonna need the disc. Well I've found my Uni, Freetime, and Bon vogue. But can I get OFB, pets and seasons from the other computer or do I really need the disc? I planned on started over but I let someone borrow my pets and seasons and they let me borrow OFB. So she won't be back til the 4th of Jan. *sigh* It's ok I guess.

If you need new disks of any games you have registered you can buy them for $13.00 from EA.
