University

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims-2 (More info?)

Hello all,

I just got Sims 2 University and went to install it. I got a message saying
that I should back up Sims 2 before installing. What folders contain my
saved games in the Sims 2? And, do I need to backup my downloads folder as
well?
Thanks again,
hopefully I will stop asking questions soon.

Great, thanks. I actually got impatient and installed lol. Nothing went
wrong so I much have over-reacted )
Thank you though,
Beck.

I ended up doing the same thing (I only backed up my downloads folder) and
nothing changed. I just got impatient as I wanted to see University in
action lol.
I am not a very big fan of Big Brother, I haven't actually watched it. But I
do know a lot of people who love it and would probably love your story line
in Sims2 )
Thanks,
Beck.
