This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default Where are the backups in SimPE?
I am looking for the backup files that SimPE makes for neighborhoods so I can give them meaningful names. I've seen them before, but can't find them now. Please, where are they?

They're inside the EA Games/The Sims 2/Neighborhoods/Nxxx folder - "Nxxx_Neighborhood.bkp"

What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.

SimPE makes a folder for the proper backups (they're not bkp files, just copies of the folders) - I think inside the The Sims 2 folder in My Documents but I'll have to check when I get on the other side of my computer.

Edit - so here's a picture. SimPE puts the folder in the top level of the EA Games folder: My Documents\EA Games and, as you can see, just copies the neighbourhood folder in there. This is from Win7 - I'd assume it'd be the same for Win8 and 10.

I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.
I'm here on tumblr and my site, tflc

Oh, yeah! I thought I remembered it was someplace obvious! Thank you!
