Sims 3 - Missing sim icons, and they don't go home after Univ/Trips

★ Novice

I have almost all the expanions, but I use the Hidden Springs cd to play.  Everything was fine until my adult female was suppose to go home from Egypt. She has a teenage daughter that stayed home.  I get the "home" icon button at the top left of my screen but that's it. My teenager is in the home, but both of their icons are missing. And I can't expand the panel. I can control the speed and I can buy/build things, but nothing with the actual sims.

 

Here is what I've tried so far that has Not worked...

Starting over.

Copy/pasting the "saves" folder.

Copy/paste the backup folder into the my familly folder.

 

If I have to re-install all my Sims3 games, can I copy/paste my "downloads" folder, so I don't have to go online and do all the items I purchased over the years?

 

Thanks for your help.

You don't need to reinstall the game. This is usually a savegame corruption and has nothing to do with the installation.

 

Backup are always a good thing anyways though: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2011/03/faq-what-files-should-i-backup.html
