can you switch The Sims 4 game from one computer to another?
i bought the sims 4 collectors edition. i ordered it before it came out so i thought i would be able to play it on my laptop, but my laptop broke a few days before i had my sims 4. i will be getting a...
I've just installed origin and the sims 4 onto my PC as my laptop can't handle the game any more - I don't seem to have my little people though. I noted when reading this thread people were saying saved data was PC specific, does that mean I need to start again from scratch? Just a bit lost and not tech savvy, so any help greatly appreciated.
How are you able to copy your saves and tray folders? My mum got me a new laptop for Christmas which I need to transfer my Sims 4 game from our family computer to my new laptop. Also how do you copy the Mods folder for CC? Thanks
I know this is an old thread but can you explain how one would do this? I spent about 15 hours building a mansion then my laptop broke and I can't find my saved game on my new computer (in origin - open Sims 4 - no 'load saved game' option)
Yes!!! Go to file, documents, electronic arts, the sims 4. Then I copied my saves, my tray, and my mods to a cheap little portable flash drive then put the flash drive in the new computer that has the sims already downloaded. Then I deleted any previous saves, tray, or mods, then pasted the new tray, saves, and mods from the flash drive into the new computer! My game is all here.

Hi everyone,
I've just installed origin and the sims 4 onto my PC as my laptop can't handle the game any more - I don't seem to have my little people though. I noted when reading this thread people were saying saved data was PC specific, does that mean I need to start again from scratch? Just a bit lost and not tech savvy, so any help greatly appreciated.

I know this is an old thread but can you explain how one would do this? I spent about 15 hours building a mansion then my laptop broke and I can't find my saved game on my new computer (in origin - open Sims 4 - no 'load saved game' option)

Yes!!! Go to file, documents, electronic arts, the sims 4. Then I copied my saves, my tray, and my mods to a cheap little portable flash drive then put the flash drive in the new computer that has the sims already downloaded. Then I deleted any previous saves, tray, or mods, then pasted the new tray, saves, and mods from the flash drive into the new computer! My game is all here.
