Unable to Import Families in Sims 1 (Sims 25)

Question

Hello, I purchased the Sims 25th Birthday bundle and on my computer both Sims 1 and Sims 2 load without crashing. But I was disappointed to find that many of the families that I remember (Smith, Valentino, Maximus, etc) were not there. So I am trying to import them into the game. I found the correct folder: Saved Games/Electronic Arts/The Sims 25/User Data/Import
But when I place the .FAM files in the folder the families do not show up in the game. Can someone help me with this? TIA.

Update: I uninstalled Sims 1, and reinstalled. And the the previous User Data has disappeared. Instead, it's now in:
Program Files/EA Games/The Sims Legacy/User Data/
When I put the .FAM files in the Import folder, they now show up in the game. But the game is unable to Import them and after trying three times crashes.

So even tho I'm still unable to import at least now it's the same problem that others are seeing.

Thank you for your response. That folder does not exist on my computer. The Sims 2 Legacy exists, but The Sims Legacy does not. (I bought the bundle with both games.) They are in two locations too, which I thought was weird.
The Sims data is in: Saved Games/Electronic Arts/The Sims 25/User Data/
The Sims 2 data is in: Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 Legacy/User Data/

I have tried exporting families from the game and then importing them and they do not show up, so this issue is not with the .FAM files.&nbsp;

Hey! At this moment in time, you need to put them in the game files folder: The Sims Legacy Collection/UserData/Import.
