Hi @itstiarabro,
And I'm happy to explain 🙂
- Move or copy The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection folder you will find in C:\Program files (x86)\Origin Games to an external drive (or some other location that won't be reset)
- Once your computer has been reset, when you are ready to install the game again, place that folder in the same location: C:\Program files (x86)\Origin Games
- Once the folder has been moved, open Origin and log into your account.
- Click on The Sims 2 Ultimate collection to start the "download" of the game. Origin will find the folder you moved and instead of downloading the game again, it will only check the files. It should be done in a few minutes, ready to play!
Please, note that it's also possible to change the location in which you want to install the games by going to Origin > Application Settings > Installs & Saves > Game library location. In case you change this, you will need to place the folder in the specified location so Origin can find the files.
Let me know if anything is not clear 😉
