Any way to get back a house I built, after uninstalling M&G?
LeaveMeAlone:
The house was built with the AL EP. I built it and just saved it to the lots and houses bin. Later installed M&G, and everything was fine for awhile. M&G then became FUBARed, so I uninstalled it and haven't bothered with it since then. Is the house gone? I have a backup of the files before uninstalling M&G, but I've been enjoying playing from scratch. It'd be nice to have that house back though, any advice would be appreciated.

If you didn't delete it, it should still be there.

On the other hand, if you uninstalled an EP and did not have a backup of your Lots folder, it is quite possible that it is gone forever. When you uninstall an EP, the game declares your saved stuff unplayable and deletes it. IIRC, it pops up a box saying something along the lines of "before you do this, make sure you save what you want to keep, 'cos we're gonna zorch it".

Nope, definitely didn't delete it, and yes, I definitely made a back up. I honestly don't know where to begin looking for it. Is it...My documents\EA Games\The Sims2\Lot Catalog or do I look for it in the back up...AL folder\TSData\Res\UserData\LotCatalog? I don't know which one of those files it could be either. That's it for now, thanks again.

If it's in the lots and houses bin, it will be in Documents/ EA Games/ The sims 2/ Lotcatalog. I would suggest to browse that folder using Clean Installer, as you can see the thumbnails of the lot impostors and easily identify your lot.
