Shit hits the fan
ZephyrZodiac:
Well, I've frequently uninstalled my latest EP and then reinstalled it, and never encountered a problem like that! But I would never uninstall, for example, NL, if my latest EP was Seasons, I'd uninstall backwards to NL, and then reinstall everything afterwards. And usually unless the registry key itself is faulty there's no need to uninstall/reinstall. If it's a faulty file within the install, then that can be copied over from the CD/DVD or the download back-up in Program Data without resorting to that extreme.
However, if you are just playing the Base Game + Uni, there is often a problem with the first install, I know I had one, and so did a lot of other people, and uninstalling Uni and then reinstalling it after rebooting and defragging worked for me. Just save your game folders in My Documents onto the desktop and put them back in afterwards.
The only other thing that occurs to me is that, if you are only running Uni, you may not have installed the CEP, and you need this for recolours of the stuff like the cheap shower to show up .
Ellatrue:
Maybe the install just got corrupted somehow? The fact that EVERYTHING is BFBVFS makes me think this may not really be related to playing the game/hacks, and just general screwiness. Honestly, I'd just assume your game is fucked, back up your neighborhoods, and do a reinstall.
Can this be blamed on Vista?
ZephyrZodiac:
As I said, that first install of Uni is often screwed up - but the same has actually happened to me with every EP I installed for the first time from CD or DVD (not with the EA downloaded version though) so I tend to think that absolutely brand-shiny-new discs sometimes don't install properly, but once they are just slightly less so they reinstall fine.

What expansions exactly are you running? It might also help to know how many character files you have, whether they have been checked in SimPE, whether you have a zillion bartenders, stuff like that......
Did you even read the OP? He said that this happened with a brand new hood.
Sounds like a bad install or a corrupt core file to me. You might want to uninstall/reinstall and then make sure that your TS2 files under program files are set as read only so that something like this doesn't happen again.

Hmm.
I have all EPs, no SPs. My game IS compatible with all specs, 100% sure. I think I will just reinstall.
Thanks, y'all.
