@ThatsSoGallistra The sims game have a complicated save procedure. There is no "cloud data" for TS3. Here is a link to the pros and cons for using cloud syncing for TS3 - link - TS3 and cloud data

Yeah I had come to find that out when I decided to go ahead and start the game up again. And as I was afraid of, nothing I had on there was there. My Sims I created were not in the library, and my houses I made were not in the library. Which sux, because I had some awesome houses. I even made a duplicate of my own house for my, my husband's, and our kids' Sims to live in. I made it almost identical, except for that we have an enscreened porch that I had to make into a patio because of the steeps leading up to the back door and our porches on the front door and other back door on the other side of the house. And I did change some floors and wallpapers because, well, we're going to eventually fix it up anyway like upgrading windows, reflooring, repainting, etc. So it's like how I envision our house to be after our 10 year plan lol. I'm giving us 10 years to fix up and replace stuff. But anyway. So I'm going to build it all over again. I've actually already got started on my Legacy Sim, but I'm doing things different though. I'm using a completely different guy. Instead of Don Darko, the highly decorated police officer I now have Bob Newbie, the outstanding soldier (who is actually now an astronaut, the military career is a piece of cake I found out). But Don's house was always a modest 2 story family home on a 40X30 lot. Bob's house is in the works of becoming a log cabin-like mansion. Not done yet, only half way there. I just got the 2nd story built, but not furnished. and there's cheap floors and wallpaper up there for now. Oh and his lot was the empty one in between the Landgraabs and Vitos. So, yeah, I decided to just go ahead w/ it anyway and for being disappointed about starting fresh, I have to say I do like where it's going.
EA StaffIt does actually sound really good, @ThatsSoGallistra!
I'd love to see Bob's cabin. Maybe you can upload it to the gallery once it is finished. Is it surrounded by lots of leafy trees? I think Bob's future children need a tree house to play.
I'd like you to be able to finish that Legacy. As Roberta explained, there is no cloud saving for The sims 3, but I can explain you how to save your savegames so you don't lose them the next time 🙂
Your user files (saved games, screenshots, houses,...) are stored in a folder named "The Sims 3" inside Documents/Electronic Arts. Before resetting your computer, make a copy of that folder in a flash drive or external drive. Once you have finished the resetting, place that folder back in the same place.
If the resettings of the laptop are unexpected, make sure of making a copy of the folder from time to time, just in case.
If you want to change computers in the future, you can also move your saved games to the new computer. Just ask us 😉
Good luck, both for you and Bob,
Mai
Ah, I see. Ok thanx, I will have to get out to the store and get one of those and do it.
And yes, I could upload it when it's all done 🙂 And as a matter of fact, Bob's 2 boys did have a tree house as kids. Now they're growing teenage boys doing their own thing. I think I'll have the one join the military like Bob, and the other I may make into a police officer, maybe firefighter. They both have the brave trait. I did pick like 1 or 2 traits from their mother, who is Emma Hatching. But anyway. Yeah, defiantly when it's all done, it'll be up. As far as the trees, so far I just have 1 on the lot haha. And the tree house of course. But I think I have an Aspen or w/e it is out in front so far. But I figured I'll put them up last after I do the back yard how I'd like.
