This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise, Into the Future
Default Save files for populating a world isnt showing up?
Title is self explanatory pretty much. I like pre-populated worlds and I found two yesterday and they had seperate save files. I installed both worlds via the launcher and then put the save file folders in the "Saved" folder in Electronic Arts. But when I launched the game, the save files didn't show up? (The worlds I downloaded did though, but they're unpopulated.)

Did I do something wrong?

check, please, if you saved it properly it should look like:

$Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Saves/

and inside:

SomeSaveName.sims3 (it is a folder, not a file)

and inside at last you should have files (does not really matters now what they are):

StrangeName.dat (like: 1etfa08.dat or something)
TownName_[identifier].dat (identifier may looks like 0x0000000)
Meta.data
TravelDB.package

if something is missing or misplaced it won't work.

NEVERMIND : The save files are there! They were just amongst the first save files because the worlds are old so they were all in the back and not at the front page. Lol silly me
