DISREGARD THIS POST - I ended up figuring it out

************************************************** ****************

I'm attempting to import my sim from 25....


I came to find out that I can't import a 25 sim without first importing it to 26.


Per the Wiki page (thank you for creating that!) I was able to download version 26. Obviously I didn't have a license key for it since I never actually purchased it, but it still gave me an option to import.... So, I went ahead and imported my save from 25.


That seemed to be successful as it took me to my save's home screen and at a quick glance everything looked okay.


Problem being, in my installation files for 26 I do not have a "saved games" folder within the data folder..... So now I am booting up OOTP 27, which I did activate with my license key, but when I go to import from 26 there is no saved games folder and no backup folder within any of my OOTP26 files.


I'm guessing I don't have a backup folder or saved games folder in 26 because I haven't activated it yet with a license key..... but I don't have a license key as I never actually purchased it.


The wiki page doesn't really get in to any additional detail other than saying you have to DL a "trial version" of each OOTP version from the year of your saved sim through the year of the present version.... but being that I don't have a license key I am assuming that's why I am not seeing any saved_games folder within 26 ---- and this obviously creates a problem when trying to import to 27


Any help??
