If I accidentally delete an item, character, sims provided by the game When I r

I was wondering if I accidentally deleted an item, a character, a Sims that the game gave me in the Library in the Gallery. Then I had a need to reinstall windows and install the sims again. Will it come back again? Please answer me

  • @lostman4 There's a file called TrayDeletedItems in your doc folder if you delete EA Sims/houses from the library.

    If you delete that file, you will have everything back. There's no way to get only certain Sims/Houses back but you can just re-delete the ones you didn't want.

    If you replace your user files with your backuped ones, they will not be back as the file is still there. If you start from scratch with new user folder, everything will be back.

    @lostman4 Depends if you downloaded them from the gallery to put in your gallery (the ones that don't come with the game library already) or if you're talking about the few that are in the library by standard.

    If you downloaded something from the maxis account to your library, you will need to do so again.

    For the ones that come with the game and are in the library from start, see my answer above.
  • @crinrict It means that the items in the gallery that come with the game. Like the Sims characters on the game cover. The house that the developer created, if deleted and I reinstalled the game to start. Will it come back? (In case I reinstall windows without the old data)

    I think I've already answered that twice. These are the premade library items (not complete, there's a few more) but you can filter your library by Maxis to see all of them.

    If you delete them, a file is created, if you trash that, you will have them back.

    If you have downloaded any of the premades from the Maxis account, then those are files in your tray folder.

    It really depends if you delete your user folder on reinstalling or not (as answered above).
