Tv screen on Sims 2 Super Collection glitch

Hello. I really have a few questions before I reset it. If I have a lot of storage taken up on my mac, when I start the new ‘vanilla’ state game up, will it just glitch me out of Sims 2? Second question. Do you mean the desktop folder in finder or my desktop home screen on my mac? Third question. I have really bad anxiety about this game because it’s my favourite game of all time! Are you really sure that this will work? I’m sorry I had a few questions i’m just a bit worried. That’s all. 

I’m only 11 years old and sims 2 is my favourite game ever! I would be very very sad if this didn’t work. Do I move the Sims 2 folder from Aspyr folder in library or move the aspyr folder to desktop?

@teddyswirl1 , the folder you move is in your Aspyr Library folder and you move it to your actual Desktop. The Desktop folder simply shows you everything that is currently on your Desktop. 🙂

And no problem! Ask as many questions as you need to.

@teddyswirl1 , a vanilla state game should not glitch out as you would have no saved games or CC present. It is literally as if you have never played the game before. This is a good way to "reset" your game back to being like a blank slate. I'm not sure how much free space you have on your hard drive, but I don't think the game takes up that much space (saved games included). To answer your second question, it should be your Desktop home screen. The Desktop Folder is simply a folder of what you have present on your Desktop.

I play on a Mac and yes, I have done this several times and it does work. 🙂 Don't worry, I'm here and we'll get your game fixed. 

Hey. So I did what exactly you told me to to do, move the folder to the home screen but I did that and all my CC and saved games are still in the game. I also know why the tv glitches now. It only glitches if one of my sims plays SSX 3 console game on the tv. Because I tested it out. It didn’t let me into Pleasantview, I don’t now about Riverblossom Hills yet. But, I don’t understand why my saved games and CC are still in the game. I thought they would be gone? Also, I don’t understand why it won’t let me into Pleasantview. I also went into the Aspyr folder and it didn’t have a new Sims 2 folder it didn’t have a folder that was named Sims 2, I think I had moved the wrong folder. Was I supposed to move the Sims 2 folder from the Aspyr folder in the com.aspyr folder or the one from application support aspyr folder? Please try and tell me everything you can find to help me fix my game! ☹️

@teddyswirl1 , you need to move the Sims 2 folder from the com.Aspyr folder in your Library. The contents of the folder should contain folders named "Cameras", "Collections", "Config", "Downloads", etc. This is the folder that you actually add CC to. In regards to the TV glitch, it probably is a piece of CC you added to the game. But first we need to test that by resetting the game. You should never try to remove these folders while the game is running. Make sure you quit the game and it is completely closed. 

If your game still ran, don't worry. It should regenerate the necessary folders to run. So when you move the Sims 2 folder from com.Aspyr, that should be the vanilla reset with no CC and no saved games available to play.

You are not wasting my time. 🙂 I enjoy helping people and the main goal here is to get your game up and running so you can play.

Do I move the Sims 2 folder to my desktop like I did with the wrong folder? Also, would the game still work if I have accidentally put the wrong folder on my desktop then put the right folder or would it just glitch me out? I’m really scared and I have really bad anxiety. Will it delete everything from the sims 2 folder? If it does, is that normal?

@teddyswirl1 , in answer to your first question, yes you move your Sims 2 folder to your Desktop just like you did before. 

Which folder did you move before and where was it located? I want to check something. Don't worry. We'll get it all sorted out.
