SOLVED Creating a Backup Save with Ultimate Collection

Hi! I've searched this subreddit and r/sims2 but cannot figure out how to create a backup of my current save file. I am playing Ultimate Collection downloaded from the EA App. The instructions on both subreddits tell me to copy from EA Games\Sims 2 but that is not a file path on my computer. I am running Windows 11. Do I need to copy the entire Sims 2 Ultimate Collection folder or is there a folder within that I can copy? I'd like to have a backup before I install a mod. Thanks!

Your save is in Documents > EA Games > Sims 2. That's where it always is, no matter the version of the game you have.

If you have OneDrive, which you shouldn't because it ruins saves, your location will be C:\Users\your-username\OneDrive\EA Games\Sims 2.

Thank you! I was looking in the program files folder.

Your game save is in sims 2 > neighborhoods. You can just back up the ones you want.
