ZOMGPets Job Fixes: Because Maxis Screwed The Pooch Again
miros:
When you uninstall Pets, the game tries to be helpful and delete all your Downloads and 'hoods, even though you intend to reinstall Pets without the patch. I classify this under Stupid But True.
All your neighborhoods are in My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Neighborhoods. Custom lots (anything in the Lot Bin) are in My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/LotCatalog.
Sivany:
I had backed up my neighbourhoods and downloads so that was all fine. It was my custom sims from the sim bin I was most annoyed about and I still don't know where those would have been. :-[
Thanks for the tip about the lot catalog though! Luckily at the same time as reinstalling Pets I moved everything on my computer to a new user profile (because the old one wouldn't load anymore) and when I deleted the EAGames folder from the old profile's 'My Documents' I happened to keep a backup of the lotcatalog file because I didn't know what it was. This means all my custom lots are safe and I can put them back in ;D
miros:
Cool! I don't keep occupied lots in the SimBin, so I can't help you there.
Sivany:
Oh I don't mean sims from occupied lots, I've just realised I think I'm calling it the wrong thing :-[ Ooops! You know when you create a sim in the game, next to the randomise button there's a button which opens up a catalog of ready made sims to choose from? I mean sims from in there. I had used SimPE to extract a whole range of sims into that collection, but now they have mostly all disappeared (just a few downloaded from the exchange back when I first started playing remain). I have a feeling they are lost forever. :(
RainbowTigress:
Those sims are saved in the SavedSims folder. Seriously.
