It is time. Is its time to format my laptop in order to refresh it, since it is getting weak and slow. Games no longer work as they used to.

 

Some people do like to format their PC, but I hate it. There's a chance of loosing all the important data I gathered trough the years, especially The Sims 2 data! The Sims! I've been working on machinimas and movies with The Sims 3 for almost 3 years on this laptop and the idea of loosing it.. I wonder... can I put the Sims 2 data alongside with the EA GAMES and The Sims 2 stuff on disk and put it on a new PC? Will the game work? I hope so. I've lost some omy Sims 2 CDs and even if I manage to recover the characters, towns and downloads, it will not work without the certain expansion pack.

 

There's alot of sites and passwords used on this laptop. It's gonna be hard to recover 'em.

Don't you have an external hard drive?

I wish you luck

Two words:  backup files.  Do that and it should be fine.  I did that with The Sims 2 before Uni came out and I still have all the game data I deleted.

Well , good luck with that format . 

Use multiple USBs, and put the data there.

 

Format your PC, then put the data again.

 

Simple as that
