The Sims Import Folder

Editing this to say put the FAM files into:  C:/users/yourname?/savedgames/ElectronicArts/Sims25/userdata/import/

since latest update. 

Not into program files

First  time after I downloaded and save the   ie: Hatfield_11.FAM  file I then right clicked on it before putting it in the import folder. Edited permissions as seems I as User no longer had  Full Control.    Seemed off so I went back and checked security on my  legacy file and same so I changed the security on that as well.  

After I downloaded all the Fam files I wanted and put them in  C:/progamfiles/EA/Simslegacy/UserData/Import.  It (import)worked as intended.  Did the first couple of fam files individuals as it was almost discovered by accident. 

Much Quicker to check your SimLegacy Folder in program files first of course so would recommend you start there.
