Lyssaria... I posted this on the marriage proposals post, but I'm just gonna keep posting here instead of going back and forth... How do you save and use backup files?

So, did you have to use the backup file to get them, or did you just get extremely lucky and get it on your third try? Or your third time using the backup?

Third time using the backup, I definitely didn't anticipate only needing to go through 3 proposals..it's best to be safe smile

I have counted how many times I am clicking Try Again, and I am up to 400 and I have yet to come across the blue stripey girl, the rainbow girl, the mohawk guy, and the spikey guy YET. GRRR.

UPDATE: 472 tries, and I got the spikey-haired guy... This better work!!!

Works just as well, and you don't have to sit through the loading.


Ugh, I tried this on one of my families because I can not get them to have any babies...but I'm doing something wrong...shocking, I know laugh ...whenever I copy back it says it's too soon to try still...any suggestions?

Make sure that the backup you saved was not overwritten by accident and that you have the right files backed up (if you're trying to make a baby in game slot 1, you need the files that have the number 1).. copy the backup files you made, and keep your actual LDW Virtual Families save files folder open for convenience.

Unpause the game and try for a baby, if it did not work out, pause the game again and switch out to another family. Keep this other family open, paste the backup files to replace the ones found in the save file folder and return to your other family.

Rinse and repeat from the unpause part, make sure you never overwrite your backups after you already tried for a baby smile Let me know if it still doesn't work for you Beth!

I've had some problems too. I backed up the file, but I cannot copy it back into the original folder to try again!!!! I can't figure out what's wrong.

What do you mean you cannot copy it back? What happens?
