    Enter in the EA folder in Program Files (or my documents, i'm not sure) , there you will find the sims 3 and in the sims 3 you will find saved games or something with save. EA folder might be in both of My Documents or Program Files. Look for the one with The Sims 3. The put your old saved file in that folder, and Voila! Here you get your old favorite in the reinstalled game (that was in my case). Hope this helped!

    with sims 3 put in on your computing device, open it and initiate up a clean interest. after enjoying for a jiffy, save it. close the interest and then bypass to the place sims 3 is on your computing device. Is there a saved document in there with the interest you in user-friendly terms saved? If there is you have in basic terms got here across the place to place your unique records you want to restoration. you could delete the interest you in user-friendly terms saved and placed the older ones in that folder.
