Title: Reinstalled the game, put in my backed up stuff, nothing's showing up Post by: zammy on April 28, 2012, 09:13:06 am *insert whining about game here*
So, my computer recently decided to get a nasty virus and NOT create backups of itself, forcing me to wipe my computer completely clear. Luckily, I had backed up sims about a month before. I reinstalled the games, plopped in the Program Files and Documents files and... none of my CC is showing up, save for about two poseboxes. My saved sims, my own outfits I created, all my downloads... nothing. I deleted all those wonderful cache files and still nothing. Any ideas?

Only three things pop up on that list rather than the usual long list.

I know it's probably a silly question on my part, but I forgot to do that once and when someone reminded me, let's just say it was a massive facepalm moment.

And before I forget (again), I have all games but Holiday, FT, M&G, and Ikea Title: Re: Reinstalled the game, put in my backed up stuff, nothing's showing up Post by: coffeeTime on April 30, 2012, 07:36:33 pm You could try deleting the neighbourhood manager file.
Did you have the store addition? Custom neighbourhoods won't show up if the store addition was installed before and isn't anymore. |
