This is absolutely ridiculous! There is absolutely NO POINT whatsoever telling us this information now, when the damage is already done. This should have been posted up first thing this morning, as a warning when we clicked the Create-a-Pets demo logo. A warning should have been done straight away advising people what to do. And what's EA gonna do. Sit back and do nothing as usual. Telling us to uninstall and reinstall everything, as usual cos they don't have any other info other than that! i am SOOO angry right now. I have been playing for months, built up towns,families, and story progression. Now totally gone. This is totally ridiculous.

MOD Users! Twallan has just posted the following message. Make sure to remove your mods folder or follow the instructions below.
My mods are *NOT* compatible with the Create-A-Pet Demo, and I do not intend to do any work to make them so (I will be waiting until the full Expansion is released).
In order to get the application to work on my setup, it was necessary to rename the "The Sims 3" folder in your "My Documents" to "The Sims 3.old".
At the minimum though, you *must* rename the "Mods" folder to "Mods.old" to hide them while you are running Create-A-Pet.
Change the folder name back when you intend to play the full game.

WARNING:
Due to issues with uninstalling the Demo product, it is advised that you back-up your content folders prior to running Create-A-Pet for the first time.
Renaming the entire "The Sims 3" My Documents folder (as mentioned above) should stop any badness from occurring.
