Ok, then what I should do since I wish to save an unplayed version of each world is to save an unplayed version to my saves file and then copy and paste to my desktop folder, just like I have saved current games I am playing with my different sim families in them. Maybe give them a designation such as number 1 so I know that is a fresh game save without my sims in them. Then if I ever have to reinstall all my games this folder will give me back all my downloaded worlds. So I don't have to go to the downloads folder, just the do the regular saves.
Thank you Rflong. Oh if the worlds I want are still in the world index would I still download them as before or just use the ones from my desktop save folder?
New note: I went back to the downloads file and tried again. I pasted what looked like a greenplumbbob icon to the desktop and when I clicked on it it downloaded another copy of the world to my launcher so now I have 2 copies. So does that mean I am doing something right? Since I am not playing that world at this time I used it as a test model. :-)
