Transferring Sims game data from Windows 98 to Windows 7
by JustLooking301Original Post
Hi everyone,
I had both The Sims 3 and The Sims Medieval installed on a Windows 98 PC. We recently updated my PC to Windows 7, so I backed up my game data, reinstalled the games after the update and tried copying my game data back into the correct folders. The Sims 3 did have a Saves folder to copy the data into (I just copied the whole folder instead). The Sims Medieval DID have a Saves folder. Neither action worked. When I launch either game, it still goes straight to the tutorial.
I'm not as concerned about The Sims 3 since I didn't have nearly as much gameplay, but I had a TON of gameplay on Medieval and would hate to lose it al.
Any suggestions? I want to see if there's a solution before I just start over. 
mileyfrustrated:
Doe the files show up in the saves folder directly or is there maybe a saves folder within the saves folder ?
Good Luck
