Neighborhood story is missing _ Solved
Tarlia:
Hm, it's possible that the webentry files won't work unless the game alters them for the new storytelling folders. I'm not sure. The pictures should be available, though, so you can add them yourself if you want. The text for the first picture is always the text for the 'hood, and the texts for the rest of the pictures are identical to the descriptions of the households they belong to.
Also, do you have this problem with just the basegame neighbourhoods, or the EP ones as well?
If you haven't started playing the neighbourhoods yet, I'd recommend just trying to generate them all again. Backup downloads if you have any and any other hoods you might want to keep, and delete your entire Documents Sims 2 folder. Run the game and let it regenerate everything. Before you enter any of the premade hoods, make sure the pictures are in the main Storytelling folder. If they are not, copy over the folder from Program Files\...\UserData\Storytelling, restart the game and enter the hoods.

Where is the text exactly? Is it supposed to be in a file in the storytelling folder?
I have the same thing happening to all the hoods, base and eps.
I have played the hoods, which is why I'm trying to keep them. Hard to let go, ya know? As for regenerating the game, I did that and the new folder contained the storytelling and the neighborhood stories. So frustrating!

No, in the game. You know when you select a neighbourhood, and there's an introductory text there? "What's going on in Strangetown? etc etc" That's the text for the first picture in the neighbourhood story. You can add the picture yourself, and copy and paste in the text. Then do the same for the other pictures, getting the text from the family descriptions. They may not end up in the same order exactly as with the original, but at least they'll be there. I've done this myself a couple of times.

Okay, I'm understanding what you are saying, but when I open the neighborhood story after loading a hood there is nothing at all inside of it. No pictures and no text. How would I go about adding pictures in the neighborhood story box?

If you've copied the pictures from the original storytelling folder into your neighbourhood's storytelling folder, they will be available in the "general" tab in the storytelling editor. Open the neighbourhood story, clilck the little edit button that looks like a book and a pen, click the rightmost tab in the main view on the left, and you should have a bunch of pictures available to you. Add the ones that belong to the story - there should be between 4 and 7 for each hood, you can probably recognise them. Then add the text to each picture. It works just like the storytelling mode for a family.
