At the time, I was using the free downloaded version (base game) from origin, so I couldn't play anymore because they disabled it not too long after. I also had to wait for a new laptop since my battery was swollen. Anywho, I do own the physical copies, so hopefully it's still possible to try?
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.
