ok, start a new game throw any sim in to any lot (we're after the meta.data file) save and quit the game go to the new saved game copy the meta.data file then paste it into the game save file that is missing it then fire up your launcher you should hopefully see your save game we're trying to rescue( you may see the blue square with an outlined house ) play it once it loads play for a couple of mins use the save as option new name then save and quit launch your game again and you should now see the usual images for your game

go to your saved game folder open up the file of your game that your trying to play and let me know if the meta.data file is there

@AthanasiosHallas

if your game is up to date 1.69 then in your launcher expansion and stuff tab make sure that each pack you own is ticked in (not install) just ticked in

    @MLB1165 What issue are you having exactly? Please describe it in more detail; this thread is quite old and describes a few different problems.
    
    Please also let me know whether all the packs that are installed on your old computer are also installed and loading on the new one. You'll need to start a new save to make sure: check the filters in Buy mode or CAS to see which packs are present.
