Ok....I've been lurking for a while and experiencing the problems that u guys r trying and up to a certain extent fixed.
I d/l the fixed neighborhood file at this address http://web.mac.com/simsbaby/iWeb/Simscorner/Downloads.html
I believe that's the only file I need?
So when I do install it or place it?
Do I have to install all the expansion packs first then place the file or do I have to place it after I installed certain expansion packs, I have Uni, Nightlife and OFB, probably getting FFS soon.
Much thanks.
Yes, N002_Neighborhood.package is the only file you need.
Just overwrite the existing file with the same name. The existing file is in the map My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Neigborhood\N002
No, the file must be overwritten each time you start a new game. The first time you start the game the directory My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 is created. That's where your game data is saved when you save a game. To install this file you just start the game and exit without entering any neighborhood. Then you owerwrite the existing N002_Neighborhood.package file. Next time you enter the game the DNA is corrected in Strangetown.

Just to check, couldn't you place the file in Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UserData\Neighborhoods\N002, which would mean that the file with corrected DNA would install itself every time you start a new game (provided you don't reinstall)?

I suppose you could (backup the original first), so long as you do it before you even load Strangetown. IOW, make the changes on an unplayed copy, backup the original, then copy the modified one to that directory.

I just tested and it worked!!
Thank you for enlightening us.

The "changes on an unplayed copy" is already created. Just download it from http://web.mac.com/simsbaby/iWeb/Simscorner/Downloads.html
