ripken204 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 you should parition your hard drive and install ur games on the 2nd partition so that when you reinstall windows on ur 1st partition, the games wont be uninstalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripken204 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 also if u partition it, you can just keep ur data on the 2nd or even a 3rd part like i have, so that you dont need to burn ur files to a cd or whatever you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarquel Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 ...of course, the sims (or any app/game for that matter) will only work like this if it doesn't add files to other places other than its installation dir AND if it doesnt make changes/additions to the registry.neatan, you're better off making one of these (presumably it would be fairly easy to do without certain exp packs - i didn't get a chance to read it fully - soz about that):http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=268261&postcount=106RegardsN.
