How to use the same sims on different computers [ Edited ]

[catandlenny]

I mainly use my Desktop to play Sims 4, but sometimes I have to use my laptop. I don't mind having my house and stuff reset, I just want the same sims. And I don't want to make them public either because I don't want other people using my sims. I thought I was quick enough to just put it up, grab my laptop, download it, and put it back down, but apparently not because SOMEBODY got to it before I did and I'm soooo mad, idk who it was and I can't ask them to delete it and idk what to do now. Is there a way I can figure that out, and share my Sims but only with myself?

If you downloaded this pack, PLEEEEEASE delete it! I don't want to share it! I only put it up to get it on my laptop, and I didn't even get to do that! You frightened me!

Hi @catandlenny

I'm a bit confused .. It says your Sims have 0 downloads and no one said anything ?

The easiest way to share only with yourself is to save your Sims to your local library instead of the gallery and then manually move this folder: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\tray from one computer to the other.

You can also move your saves this way. They are in the folder saves.

Oh, wow. I have an external hard drive for my laptop so that shouldn't be too much of a problem... Thank you!

Also, I was in the middle of a game and I looked up and it said "Someone has downloaded your pack" so idk

They probably just liked your family a lot. Don't worry about it.
