Hi,

just recovered from a system failure on my Mac and Sims can't be launched any longer (same as with many other apps that is...). I need to reinstall Sims2 and Pets and I'm fine with that, but how can this be done without loosing the saved games?

TIA

I think there may be folder with save games in Sims2 directory.

The saved games are stored in your Documents/EA Games/Sims 2 folder. If you trashed your installation, your saved games shouldn't be affected since they are stored in a different place.

As a general rule, most games on OS X commonly store their saved games in two places. ~/Library/Application Support/game name or ~/Documents/game name. Sometimes, they may not use the game name but the publisher's name like EA or Microsoft Games, etc.

I have yet to come across games saving data in the /Applications folder.
