Install 1.3 update or not?
Zaphod Beeblebrox:
Just save everything in your Sims folder that's under My Documents. Your saved families are there, and after you reinstall, you should just be able to copy them back into the fresh install like I did.
Raycee:
OK, I did reinstall. I got my families etc., but my game now does not recognize my custon content even though the content is in the appropriate folders (I checked against my laptop which I haven't used for a week). I have looked around, but I can't find any place to enable custom content like was on the opening menu for Sims 2. What am I doing wrong now?
Zaphod Beeblebrox:
You do have the Resource.cfg file in the appropriate spot, yes?

Okay, first I want to take the time to thank Motoki, Anonym, Twoftmama and Zaphod for helping me out here a LOT !
Next, I successfully performed the manual un-install of my game... and now can load and play... and am about to load up the newest version of AM and a few XML tuning mods as well... however, I do have just one problem... in that I cannot see my previous Saved SV game even tho I had placed it on my desktop along w/my SavedSims file... which I cannot see either... yet ~
JBoat... how do I remove any traces of the old AM on them ? Maybe you could PM me w/that info if you don't want to take up space here... and I can see all of my cc downloads and use them EXCEPT for the ones from the TS3 store that I paid for... figures! Any ideas or suggestions are once again much appreciated... ???

If you can start the game and load a savegame, there should be no need to clean a save of any old mod or AM content. I am fairly sure the newer AM can handle old AM content fine. If there was a problem with the latest patch install and you had to clean a savegame of all mods and core mods, you'd have to un-patch The Sims, remove all mods/core mods, load the savegame (or try to), and then re-save. That's what cleaning is. Sometimes it works on modded savegames, sometimes not.
Did you run the TS3 Launcher and check to see if all of your downloads are installed? That's where both the purchased and free (shared) stuff is. The folder for it is in \My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads\. If you made a backup folder of that before uninstalling/reinstalling, you can simply move the contents back in, restart the Launcher, and re-install all of it.
