NL reinstall of backup neighborhood

(1/2) > >>

cwieberdink:
I made backups of my two favorite neighborhoods before getting NL.  I used Sim PE to do the backups.  I installed NL clean.  I added back in the hacks that were said to be okay by their creators (mainly twojeffs and FFS).  I then copy-pasted my neighborhood from the simPE backup into the neighborhood folder and nothing showed up.  Okay.  I exited and tried overwriting the character, lots, storytelling and thumbnails plus the package files and whatnot from the main N001 folder.  Okay.  Now everything appears to be there, but I have no nightlife interactions available to these people.

What am I doing wrong?  How can I get back my old neighborhood sims and their homes and their memories but still have the NL interactions and new stuff available to them?

Backups of Uni data will likely only work with Uni. So, if you uninstall NL, then you can restore this backup. It won't work with NL though, because NL has to update everything in its own special way.

 :o  You mean all my storylines, families, etc are lost?  Is there no way to put them back in somehow?  This is my sim family!  I'm so upset.  Is there something different I should have done?

I think you should uninstall NL, then restore your backup, then reinstall NL. That should work.

Okay, I will try that.  I did get them to be recognized and to have NL interations, but they are VERY jumpy.  jumping out of many activities.  I'll start over and see if that helps.  Thanks!
