pandzia68 Inside the "The Sims 25" folder is one subfolder per neighborhood, labeled UserDataX, with the X corresponding to the neighborhood's number (except for 1, which has no number). So if you remember which neighborhood your household was in, restore only that UserData folder. However, keep the newer UserData folder in case you need it. Just drag it out of the folder to your desktop.
If that doesn't help, remove the old UserData folder and copy (don't move) the newer one, that doesn't contain your sims, back to the Sims 25 folder. Start replacing its contents with copies of the contents from the folder that contains your old household, the idea being to add whichever files or folders are required to restore your sims without making the game crash again. Let me know what you find, or feel free to ask for more detailed help.
puzzlezaddictThank you for helping. I copied the whole folders of "Characters" and "Houses" and a file "Neighborhood.iff" to that new UserData folder, and it did restore my family/house but unfortunately it doesn't work. Still crashes after less than a minute. Should I try copying only specific files from those folders? If so, which ones should I look for?
It seems like the crash is strictly connected with my family, as now I tried some basegame family household and it didn't crash. It doesn't crash in the menu, map or build/buy mode. Only on gameplay, when the time goes. I'm 100% sure it's about interactions between my sim (the family I play long time) and a dog/cat/any pet. I put a sign "no pets" and it fixed the problem at least temporaily. Still, if a stray comes and begs for attention, it crashes.
