Not just the application, but the tribe too.

I copied the entire virtual villagers 2 folder, assuming that my game file would be inside it. Now I'm on vacation 2500 miles from my PC and I'm kind of ****ed off. What did I do wrong, because eventually I will have to transfer the whole game, including the files, to this computer.

Look here (I would post how, but I'm feelin' lazy )

You can also look at this post in our Guides Section, which explains the files and has instructions for both Windows and Mac.
