Sims and sims 2 on external hard drive?
By rowan_a_fros on Aug 20, 2009
Hi everybody
I recently got a laptop. I always had the sims on the computer but now I ordered sims 2 and some expansion packs.
I want to put them on the computer but I don't want to use up loads of memory. So I would like to save all sims and sims 2 onto an external hard drive. It seems possible because it allows you to change where it is saved.
I have downloaded programs like itunes and picasa 3 etc onto it and all seems fine, they run off the laptop but use the external hard drives memory.
Does anyone know if this is possible with sims and sims 2 and if so exactly how I should go about it? Do all the expansion packs need their own individual folder? Do I have one folder for the fist cd/dvd and a second for all the expansions? How should I do it?
If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them in as much detail as possible please
Thanks a mil

It works great, I had to do the same thing. All you have to do is save it to the external drive. yes all the programs and expansions need to be on the external drive.
When it asks you if you want to put it on the C:/programs/simms as it always does, just change the "C" to what ever drive your external drive is. do this with each game.
You will me living like a simm in no time. Let me know how you did..
