Another total mess
MissDoh:
It is the best way to see it espacially if you like to play with any of the pre-made Maxis neighborhood. You can make them have completely new adventures. I resetted a few times already and add perfect families with perfect life until I got tired and started to kill them any way possible within the game (electrocution, starving, fire, scissors) and it was kind of educational, I never let a Sim go before and it help me accept that they must not have all a perfect life.
Now in some neighborhoods Sims are cheating, fighting, dying and of course spend a lot of time in downtown. I did not start playing with any of the 3 pre-made neighborhoods since my last fresh install (about 2 weeks ago) but I did set them up the way I like, change their zodiac signs, their aspiration and so on. I am mostly having fun in a neighborhood I created which was a first since I always played with Pleasantview before.
The one I had the must work with was Veronaville, I never liked the scenario but did love the way the neighborhood is design so none of them are angry at each other anymore, I will decide if it happens or not lol.... Yes I am a control freak! (eventhough I play with free-will on).
So have fun with your new resetted game and please give use all the juice details about what happens to them ;D

I had this happen once and I did manage to sort it out, mainly because I knew that if everything was still intact, I hadn't lost it. I am trying to remember what I did and I have a feeling I altered something in one of the character files so the neighbourhood package file would be reset. I know I did this with some problem and I have a feeling it was that one. If you still have the files and can open the neighbourhood, try adding or removing a memory or changing something for a character (such as their turn on/offs), then commit and save. I'm pretty sure that's what I did when this happened to me.

Ancient, I can open the neighborhood. But the only characters there are maxis. Does that matter? (this is AFTER restoring the SimPE backup). I can just have a maxis character change something and all the houses and my characters will come back? I haven't deleted anything. I still have the backups and all, they just don't work.

faemidwife: next time you backup your neighborhood, don't rely on SimPE, do it manually. I remember SimPE being a bit problematic in that area, at least some older versions. Next time, copy the whole (I repeat, the WHOLE) Neighborhoods folder to a safe place, not just the neighborhood you're playing. It's space and time consuming but it's worth the sacrifice.

the sims2 enhancer will akso create a back up of the entire nieghborhood folder or individual neighbor hoods depending on what you choose to do . since I dont play the maxis neighborhoods I backed up the neigh borhood folder for the neighborhood I play with Sims2 enhancer. I had to do a reinstall yester day and I used my backup I created with Sims2 enhancer prior to the serious problem I had a.It worked like a charm no problem at all. Sim Pe on the other hand made a useless back up for me when I used it to back up my neighborhood just prior to patching nightlife. the backup would not work period. sim pe is great at doing editing on sim info and sim cloning but not as file back up creator.
