I have a Save Game folder but nothing in it. Where should it be and does it have sub folders ???

Where is this folder located? I have nothing like that in either Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 or in the install files in Program Files. TS3 has a folder called "Saves" in Documents, which is the equivalent of TS2's "Neighborhoods" folder in Documents, where it stores all your current worlds or neighborhoods. Dunno what TS4 might have, since I don't own it. So...Are you sure you're looking at files for TS2?

Well, whatever the case, if it's empty, then it's useless. If it's somehow necessary to the game, it'll regenerate when next you load the game.

I'm mostly found on (and mostly upload to) Tumblr these days because, alas, there are only 24 hours in a day.

There may be two folders if you have Win7 and above, and one of them is empty. This is normal. You can see the difference in their file path.

The proper folder with your saved game and all the files is this one:
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2

The empty folder is this one:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2
(the game doesn't really recognize it, so don't put anything there).

(file paths may vary somewhat between Windows versions. The ones above are with Win7).

Your saved games are your neighbourhoods - in the Neighbourhoods folder.

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.

Saved games or 'Saved Sims'? There is a Saved Sims folder, but unless you make Bodyshop CC it will be empty.
