Installing a Bought Version

<< < (2/3) > >>

I had reloaded. I just uninstalled it and installed my legal copy. I told it to not delete my saved games. I didn't bother backing them up because I don't mind starting over. Anyways after install my family was still there. I then got all the store stuff from the thread in peasantry and it all worked too.

I did have a mess with my second computer though. I went to game copy world for the no-cd crack, and clicked a link that had a virus infested pop up. First thing it did was shut off my firewall. AVG couldn't find or clean it. The launcher was stuffing up and crashing my whole computer. I routed the shortcut around to the .exe to avoid the launcher and was able to load the game but then had big nasty crashes after about 20-30 minutes in the game.

I finally gave in and did a good old fashioned nuke and pave on that machine. So you might consider viruses if you have a similar situation, even if your virus scanner doesn't find anything.

Same here, had the Reloaded version, copied my saved files and my library files.  Uninstalled and installed the Collectors copy.  Everything went smoothly and then installed all the store items from here.  No glitches at all.  I even let the launcher do its thing and nothing has happened.

I had the RZR version installed, I backed up my saved game, uninstalled like normal, installed the retail version and then put my saved game back in. I've been playing for 2 days now with no problems.

Pirate Cat does not pay for his downloads!!

Same here. I had the Razor release, backed up my custom sims, but not the saves, figured I'd start fresh. I uninstalled the game and deleted the torrent as well, then restarted. I've had no errors or any problems like others have had.
