GameGuide-nav Sometimes, players may want to reset their user files for The Sims back to their default state, but don't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling their entire game. They may want to do this to fix game problems, have a clean slate and start over, or just to get a neighborhood back to its original state.

In all games, reinstalling the entire game will reset user files and accomplish this; however, reinstalling takes time that most players don't want to have to endure. This game guide will provide methods for resetting the game to its default settings without having to perform a reinstall.

The Sims
Unfortunately, The Sims does not provide an easy way to reset game settings back to their defaults. However, if the player simply wants to restore Neighborhood 1 and Neighborhood 2 back to their default, unmodified states, they can do the following:


 * 1) Download the UserData folders for the neighborhoods here.
 * 2) Go into the C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims folder. (If you have a 64-bit system, it might be located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\The Sims instead)
 * 3) Delete the "UserData" and the "UserData2" folders if you don't want them, or move them somewhere else if you want to make a backup.
 * 4) Unzip the UserData folders you downloaded. Copy and paste them into the C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims folder.

Done! Your neighborhood should now be in its default, pristine condition.
