AAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
That was me screaming at the top of my lungs. Ok here's what happened step by step:
1. A few months ago I bought a new laptop, specifically designed for gaming, so I can play The Sims 2 happily on it.
2. On inspection I discovered that the 250GB hardrive was split in two with only 35GB allocated for C Drive
3. To save space I installed The Sims 2, EPs and SPs on drive D
4. The Downloads folder would still go in My Documents on Drive C
5. I downloaded an organizer and organized all my downloads - after 3 days I managed to do a decent job of it
6. I removed the Downloads I won't be using yet, and played with a few downloads
7. But lately I needed more CC, and so I decided to do a search on the internet on how to overcome this space problem
8. I found out that I could move my whole My Documents folder to drive D
9. I did so, and tried to load the game. But the game would not even get to the splash screen
10. I moved all the important stuff to a backup folder, unistalled the game, and reinstalled everything
11. After two days I was ready to play again.
12. BUT NOW THE NEIGHBOURHOOD WHERE I HAVE ALL MY STORIES CANNOT LOAD
13. So basically that means that I have lost all my sims, houses etc, and will have to redo them again.
14. I have one update for "Confessions" ready for upload, and I had just taken the pictures for the next episode of "Night Heroes", but since I had not yet moved the latter to my usual folder, I seem to have lost these pictures, because when I looked in the storytelling folder of that neighbourhood it was empty!
15. So now there will be an update for "Confessions" soon, but there will be some time before the rest comes, because I have to recreate ALL the Sims from scratch, move them into houses, refurnish (I hate this part). And I only have one week left, and half days at work will be over, and I will be working till 5pm again, and what's more I have just been promoted at work, so that means much much less time for my Sims. But I will try to do in the shortest time possible.
In the meantime, please bear with me at this most annoying and stressful time (creating lots, and furnishing them is stressful for me!).
