    StarChildMystic  Did you try moving or renaming the "The Sims 25" folder here?

    C:\Users\your username\Saved Games\Electronic Arts

    Doing so would reset all your in-game progress, but you could try restoring your user data later.  For now, just see whether the game runs the way you want without mods or custom content.

StarChildMystic  The folder has definitely been there since day 1 of this release, and Saved Games is a general Windows folder that a lot of games use for save data, EA and otherwise.  I don't know that any Sims game has used it before now though.

The game draws from this directory and mostly not from the old one, the only known exception being the folder where you'd put sims you want to import.  As for the data not matching, I don't think it makes any difference at all.
