2nd user account, separate game?
pentabet:
I have seen this option suggested on several forums as a way to test an error in a clean game. But I haven't found much information about using a second user account on my 'puter as a valid second setup.
For example, if I want to create a neighborhood with certain hacks that I don't want shared between it and another neighborhood in my current game, could I create the second neighborhood in a clean game on another account, keeping all hacks etc. separate from the original? Will it work properly, without overlapping?

Used to work ok for me when I used multiple accounts on XP. That way could have a 'kid friendly' game, where the kid could make a bajillion families, dress them up, throw them in to a lot and watch them die because she didn't know what she was doing (and god forbid I try to help - 'I R PLAYING - YOU GO WAY'), and then have a naughty, hack filled game for myself.

Yes. Anything in your "My Documents" folder isn't shared between accounts. When you create a new account, the MyDocuments/blahblah folder will be blank. No hacky-poos.

huh. I didn't know that. This could be useful information. 8)

Thank you all very much. This is great news. Now I can have my medieval Transymvania without seeing all my modern stuff in there getting in the way. ;D
