Before the legacy version I had The Sims installed and was able to import lots ie: The Hatfields, Jones, etc.
Have tried with legacy version and so far no luck. Can add to import folder but they do not show up ingame under import Family.
Has anyone had any luck with this?
So initially I had the same problem as the OP. When I put .FAM files in the Import folder, the game didn't even see them.
Then I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, which coincided with the first patch, so I don't know which thing caused the difference or perhaps both did.
But I found that the User Data folder had changed location
before: Users/Lenovo/Saved Games/Electronic Arts/The Sims 25/User Data/Import
after: Program Files/EA Games/The Sims Legacy/User Data/Import
Now when I placed the .FAM files in the Import folder, the game is able to see them and ask me if I want to import the families. But when I click yes, it gives me an error and after three tries the game crashes
I am also unable to import but my game doesn't even find the .FAM files in the Import folder. The "Import Family" button is greyed out.
I had this issue too. It found the family, but showed an error when it tried to import them.
Hey there! There’s an issue with the game crashing if you try to import a household that has not yet been moved into the neighbourhood yet. Here’s my stack dump the game generated when the game crashed.
I can move individual families ingame or created but cannot import families/lots. So I would say its the import function that is not working correctly.
I'll do that next or at least try. It just seems odd that it finds the families I downloaded but wont import. It may have to do with the downloads designated for the original game and I think double deluxe? & I think one other. The site I get them from does not mention Legacy version of course.
Bluegayle Have you tried a newly-created household? I'm wondering whether the problem is the ones you've tried or the function overall.
Sorry couldn't edit for some reason:
they do show up but error out .
