My Neighborhoods are Missing
ChillyzGrrl:
Something weird is going on with my game.
I played yesterday and everything was fine. But today when I load it up, half my neighborhoods are missing.
Strangetown and two customed neighborhoods are gone.
Also, when I click the arrow on the Neighborhood selection screen, instead of showing more
neighborhoods, it gives me Downtown as an independant neighborhood to play.
I've looked in My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Neighborhoods folder and all the neighborhoods are
there, but they aren't in my game.
Sadly, the last babckup I did was just before I installed Family Fun last month, and after it installed with no problems, I deleted the back up.
Upon advice from someone at the LegacyChallenge mailing list, I backed up the copies of all the neighborhoods in my Neighbohoods folder and deleted them, and then reset N001, N002, and N003. This did restore Strangetown.
So then I copied the backed up versions back into my Neighborhoods folder, but when I restarted my game, it went back to showing Pleasantview, Veronaville, the one customed neighborhood and that strange independant Downtown.
I'm at a loss for what to do next or if anything can be done. It's quite apparent that something in the folders I'd backe dup is corrupted because it refuses to read them, even after the reset was successful.
Is there anything else I should do or should I just reset again and start fresh with all-new everythings?

Did you uninstall an EP or Pack recently? When I uninstalled OFB I lost Veronaville and Strangetown. JM called me stupid for pulling a stupid and corrupting my files by uninstalling something.
I had to uninstall EVERYTHING and reinstall everything from scratch.

No, I haven't uninstalled anything.
I also haven't downloaded anyting new in about a month and since the last family I played was my Legacy family, I wasn't using cheats.
I'll be honest, this has me totally baffled.

Did you delete the groups.cache from the Sims folder before you put in your backups? I think that helps for a lot of things...

Yes, I did that, too. :-[
