Re: How to restart sims 4

Excuse me mam how do i restart sims 4 without deleting my folders?

@ElitaGaim

Are meaning how to start a new game?

Load the Sims 4 from Origin - Go to Games Library and select Sims 4 and select New Game.

If you're wanting to start fresh, like you had just installed the game.

You'll want to do what is referred to as a Sims 4 factory reset.

Basically rename the Sims 4 folder to something like Sims4Backup. Launch Origin, go to Games Library, Select Sims 4 and select New Game.

Please be aware that doing a factory reset of the Sims 4 folder, will result in "loosing" your game files. But they aren't actually lost. They are in your backup Sims 4 folder.

Here are the files and folders you can copy back over to the new Sims 4 folder:

- Options.ini (User game settings)
- Tray Folder (Sims/Houses/Commercial lots and rooms)
- Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
- Rest of the save games, if any.
(leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave. It is not used anymore.)
- Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, and makeup
- Mods (Put these back one by one to make sure they all still work)
