Transferring neighborhood to a different computer?

True to form, the things I think will be very simple always end up taking a lot of time to figure out.

Before I got Pets, I restarted Pleasantview. My old neighborhood had gotten a little out of control population-wise because I married in too many townies. So I took out the old Pleasantview, and a new clean one generated. I've been playing that one for awhile, but I've been thinking about some of the sims in my old neighborhood. I mostly just want to see how some of the kids turned out, since I was just getting into generation 3. The problem is that I installed Pets after I took out the old neighborhood, so it won't work.

BUT I thought I had figured out a way around it. My fiance's computer can run the game really well, too, so I thought I'd just install everything up to Pets, put in the old neighborhood, and then install Pets to update the old neighborhood. It seemed so very simple. So I copied my neighborhood folder (renamed N004) and my downloads folder, installed the game and EPs, and put my stuff in. But it doesn't work.

First it was crashing during the loading screen. I took out the downloads folder, and that fixed it. But now neither my neighborhood or the new Pleasantview are showing up - only Strangetown and Veronaville. Am I leaving something out? Or is this not as simple as I thought it would be? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Venusy:
Did you rename EVERYTHING to N004, or just the folder? Because it doesn't work if only the folder is renamed.

elle.jae:
Ah. No, I didn't. What all has to be renamed?

elle.jae:
Oh. Ha. I think I've got it. I wasn't even thinking of all of those other files. *smack forehead*

miros:
Every single file inside the N001 folder has to be renamed to N004.
