How to retrieve a Sims 3 family once I have uninstalled the game?

I have the Sims 3 and have three families that I have worked very hard on. Something happened to my game and I have to uninstall Sims and then re install it in order to be able to play again. Is there any way that I can save my families to my computer and then load them once I have installed Sims 3 again?How to retrieve a Sims 3 family once I have uninstalled the game?
I'm not sure if you can retrieve, when it uninstalls i think it then deletes your save files,



the only way i know of how to get back a save data after uninstall is by backing the data up onto a memory stick (usb flash drive), you do this by going into "My Documents" and copying the file "EA Games" over and regularly copying it to make sure the family is up to date just in case something does go wrong, then after it reinstalls you can just copy the file back, so i recommend doing that in the future.
i don't think you can retrieve,i think you'll have to remake the family

When you uninstall the game it asks if you want to delete saved games, and if you choose not to delete them, they should still be there when you re install the game.

Open the Sims 3 file, copy and paste the "Saves" folder to your desktop. Then, once you've reinstalled, simply cut out the new "Saves" folder and put in the old one. :)

As far as i am aware you cannot get that family back. When you uninstall the game, it deletes/removes all software for it, including any saved games, families and data. Unfortunately you won't be able to get this family back :( sorry
