Yea.

If you had been reinstalling due to some bad CC, we wouldn't want to immediately put back in all of your CC for example.

Have you gotten the game fully installed on your new laptop?

If so, launch the game to make sure everything is working.

Then if you've got the full Sims 2 folder from your previous computer, you can delete the one that generated when you launched the game and put in that folder. Make sure you copy & paste just in case there are problems and it doesn't hurt to keep a back up anyway.

Go into the version of the Sims 2 folder that you pasted (the one that should be in Documents/EA Games) and delete groups.cache.

Let me know if you have any questions or problems.

When you say "saves" what did you save?

Well, I meant the "neighborhoods" folder since I thought that's how progress was saved if you were to re-install. :neutral: But I've just found my most recent sims 2 folder, so I'm ready for your help now.

What was the reinstall's purpose? Since you found you're most recent full back up of everything we don't want to put back in something that might be causing the problem without knowing we are doing it.
