i missed this (& a million other things) from the nraas sims 3 mods so much, so thank you kindly...my only question is do you put both files in the mod folder or leave the zipped 1 in, or some other combination (might wanna include that in your description just so you don't have to waste time reading questions like this lol)

I translated it in zh-cn(01) and zh-tw(02) :lovestruc
And I have some questions:
Deleted:It's OK.No problem.
·"Define how many backup will be kept by the system. "It doesn't work.
·Mod may be failed.
·I can't use the backups in the game.
Thank you again.

Hi! Great mod. I was wondering why the rotation was only 2-7, and didn't allow for 10 backups. I prefer doing at least ten (right now I have 15 because I felt like it, but they're done manually). I'd really like to have at least 10. Unless I'm misunderstanding it...

It defines how many backup will appears on the load game panels. If you set it to 3 for examples and run one backup per hours, only the last 3 hours will be directly available within the game...

Has anyone found any problems with this? I'm a little skeptical on trying it because it's not the way the game is intended to be saved and I'm not sure if it actually saves everything or if the saves will eventually corrupt. I just want to know if these saves will work exactly the same as normal saving and there won't be any issues :P

The only issue I have is that it does not show when i click on a PC. Don't know what is conflicting. According to the tool Mod Conflict Detector, it shows as having no conflicts.

hmm, what kind of 'computer' your household is using ? I might have missed one..

You can use those command to access the menu:
smbackup.rotation
smbackup.Periodicity
smbackup.Status
smbackup.ChangeName

using the console too.

Hi, I'm also not able to use autosave... I also tried to use the smbackup commands in an earlier post, I've tried buying and clicking different computers, I've tried other things to make it show up or to work and I cant figure it out. I'm frazzled, I know its probably something really simple I am missing but ifn you have anything else to check that'd be great.

Started with the top of the line computer, but get the same with all computers. I'll try the console command. That probably will work; but it would be nice to get to it easily.

Do you have the starting notification appearing at least ? If not, could you check if you got a lasterror file too ?

Okay, so this is weird. I set it up for my legacy, it was working just fine. Then I wanted to do some testing for a mod I'm making, and went in, changed the autosave name to Test, but it still wrote over my legacy saves. Luckily I had done some manual saving so I didn't have to go to far back, but I'm not sure what I did wrong. I tried changing, it, reloading the game, and checked the status and it said it was saving it as Test and had 0/7 slots. But no Test was showing in my saves, maybe I have too many saves? It only saves to save 6 too, so maybe the 15 I already have plus the 6 is too many saves? That could be I guess.

I noticed during my testing that too many saves tends to confuse the game. Anyway i will push an update during the weekend displaying a notification when the backup is done.
By curiosity, did you check if you got a Lasterror file ?
