How to create a new game,

Sometimes you would like your Sims to be in the "new state" again, as if you just bought it.
Off course you can delete all your expansions and re-install again, but this is quite a job when you are the proud owner of all expansions ans stuff-packs.

Simply remove the folder The Sims 2 - see backup - and startup your game.
A new folder The Sims 2 will be created and all your old Sims, Houses, Downloads etc. are disappeared.

Simple but very effective !
