Want to share a house with my other computer but not with the public gallery

Because the house is not mine! I have just made a lot of modifications on it. Is there a way that I can share it with my other computer without putting it online? Thanks so much!
  • You can upload your home to your own library on your first computer. Then go to your Electronic Arts-Sims 4 -Tray folder and “copy” the files that are there that have the same date/time that you just uploaded to your library. Then “ paste” them on a usb drive. Then copy and paste these files that are on your usb drive into the tray folder on your second computer.

    The only thing is that he has said many times that his drives are completely full and can't hold anything else, not as a "you can't use this" thing but as in "isn't it cool how much stuff I have" lol. So I just don't want to mess with it.

    Also lol, top secret govt info isn't kept at a personal residence so that wouldn't be an issue in any case :D :D :D :D You know, unless you want to get prosecuted for some major crimes.

    I know now that there are ways to do it, and I appreciate the information, I just think that it would be easier to be able to do it in-game, and I don't see why there isn't a way to do that? But maybe in the future.

    So I didn't notice this reply at first or maybe I forgot about it until last night? Anyway! I think that is something that needs to be fixed! I think there should def be a way to privately share things in one's private gallery between one's own computers without posting them to the public gallery. I don't see why that isn't a thing. It's needlessly complicated. Plus, I don't have a usb drive that isn't full of stuff - I would have to buy one, and I can't drive and I don't have money even to order one online, which would take time to get here anyway. And it's not like I can do anything with the stuff on the usb drives that we have because it's not my stuff, it's my partner's.

    So yeh. I vote that's something that needs to be worked on.
  • you could also save the folder on some cloud thing or send the file to yourself via email or something probably works too
    (say you could just have save file that has build placed in it and send that to yourself)

    usb is really the easiest though it doesn't take much space on the usb and you can use usb that has other stuff on it
    also obviously you can delete the file from usb once you are done

    I also doubt your partner would have problem lending you usb for just one little thing,
    that is unless they are government agent and the things on that usb are top secret information
    in which case i would be worried your partner is entangled in alien conspiracy
