Step One
First Step - Back Up Your Game!
While you do these steps you are going to be loading the game, possibly repeatedly, without custom content. Loading the game without custom content can cause issues with your lots, sims, and neighborhoods.
Therefore, it is strongly advised that you back up your game before you do so. If anything goes wrong, you can restore your backed up files and continue playing without problems.
- For information on how to back up (and restore back ups if something goes wrong) see: Game Help:Back Ups.
