i have to redownload the sims once I have a new comp? Will my old games be on it

Just downloaded origin on my new computer, but my sims games say download. When I do, will old games be there?

    Yes that's correct. Make sure that the files are directly in the new saves-folder so that you don't have a sub-folder when you start the game 🙂

    @StaryNightCourt

    Like Nikki said, make sure the folder is unzipped. Also start the game and check in your screenshot-settings that the game uses the same directory as you. (see picture below)
    If the screenshots are in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Screenshots and the saves are in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves and it does not work, please post a screenshot of your saves folder.

    If the screenshots are somewhere else, please post the location they're in 🙂

    Thank you so much! my sims game is working now and I'm having a blast with my new computer. Some of the files I couldn't download from drive so I used a USB but it was easier to transfer smaller files!
