Back-Up "The Sims 2" Files

Whether you just want to make sure you have copies of your families or you got a new computer, keeping a copy of your game files is a smart idea. With a copy, you will be ready to get a new computer up and running with your families quickly or have a copy in case a hack or expansion pack installation ruins your files. You could move the files to a second hard drive, DVD, CD, or at the very least another folder in My Documents (like C:\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Backup\.
