The Sims Import Folder
Before the legacy version I had The Sims installed and was able to import lots ie: The Hatfields, Jones, etc. Have tried with legacy version and so far no luck. Can add to import folder but they do ...

I am also unable to import but my game doesn't even find the .FAM files in the Import folder. The "Import Family" button is greyed out.
So initially I had the same problem as the OP. When I put .FAM files in the Import folder, the game didn't even see them.
Then I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, which coincided with the first patch, so I don't know which thing caused the difference or perhaps both did.
But I found that the User Data folder had changed location
before: Users/Lenovo/Saved Games/Electronic Arts/The Sims 25/User Data/Import
after: Program Files/EA Games/The Sims Legacy/User Data/Import
Now when I placed the .FAM files in the Import folder, the game is able to see them and ask me if I want to import the families. But when I click yes, it gives me an error and after three tries the game crashesI'm still having the same issue as you, navykat88, and my import folder is in the same location as yours. On the patch notes for 2/6 it says that the folder should be in Program Files/Maxis/The Sims/User Data/Import but that's not where mine is. I don't even have a Maxis folder.
The game is finding the fam files in Program Files/EA Games/The Sims Legacy/User Data/Import but there is an error when trying to import. I have not experienced any crashes though. I wonder if the old files are just not compatible with this updated version?
Same folders now since patch. I am loving the new version my sims are definitely improved but I really want to get my old families back into the game as well and as easily as it was in the original version.
