My Neighborhoods are Missing
jsalemi:
I had something similar happen (can't remember why now), and I recovered by renaming my 'The Sims 2' folder in My Docs, and loading the game and letting it rebuild the default neighborhoods. Then I copied everything back to the new directories except for the 'neighborhoodmanager.package' file (or some similar name) found directly under the Neighborhoods folder. That seemed to to the trick, and my neighborhoods were all fine after that.
ChillyzGrrl:
You renamed the entire "The Sims 2" folder? That doesn't mess up your game any?

The groups.cache applies to the thumbnails in BS (I think) and deleting it just causes BS to have longer load times.

No, that's a different file (cigen.<something>). Groups.cache keeps track of where things are in your directories (among other things) to speed load times, and is notorious for getting corrupted. Deleting it solves a wide variety of problems, and if it's not there, the game just rebuilds it the next time you fire it up.

The sims folder in your my documents is different than the sims folder in the program files.
The my documents sims folders are for your specific game. Renaming it just causes the game to restart from scratch. Then you can put your backups in place over the newly repaired neighborhoods.
