Hi,
I've been having a lot of problems lately. When I play the sims it only takes 1 minute before the game just shuts down. Now, my computer is not the problem, seriously. I'm well over all the system requirements. Now. I've also reinstalled everything. Base games, patches and expansions.
Then something occurred to me. What if the problem is not my computer or the game but my save games. I tested this theory by temporarily removing all of my save games and downloaded content (like hairstyles and objects and such) and starting a completely new game.
This theory proved correct. I could play for a while on a new sim I'd created in a new world.
Alas. I really, really, really want to continue playing my previous Sims. I have like 5 generations going and I really like them. Also my subscription on TSR ran out and I don't feel like paying... Again. So I'm wondering if there's a way to transfer the sims and the downloaded content (but not the houses and stuff, or the actual save game) to the entirely new game?
Or, if this is not possible... Is there anyone who's had the same trouble I have had and found a solution without having to give up the original save game?
