Could Library be for custom recolored patterns? I have a couple of files in there, but my Sims haven't written any books. I'm looking for where the recolors I saved with style editor are to back those up, but am not seeing them. It's likely I'm just retarded, but if anyone knows what I need to back up for those please share the info.
I have no idea. I hadn't saved any patterns to use later so it didn't make any sense to me that I would have files of that type in there, and yet I have several files in there.
Tyyppi:
The Library folder holds the households you've made. These are the households you can see in the bottom right corner of the "edit neighborhood"-screen. It probably also holds custom lots you've saved too but I'm not 100% certain about that.
I'm not sure about the patterns but I think they're in "userPresets.package"-file in My Docs.
EDIT: Just checked it, custom lots are in the Library folder too and the patterns are stored in "userPresets.package".

maybe just back up the whole ea folder in docs and put back any file names you're missig, that's what i'm gonna do when my retail version turns up. Where are youuuuuu postman!

BlueSoup said in another thread that we don't need to keep the stuff in the Downloads folder. But I wondered: if we ever reinstall our game, will we need those to reinstall store items with the Launcher? Or will we just be able to use a backup of the Sims 3 folder?

After a Vista update killed my computer the other day, I had to reinstall all of my software. In preparation, I backed up the Electronic Arts folder and moved it back after reinstalling the game, and everything was already there.
