Life Stories Neighborhoods, Safe to use in TS2?

(1/3) > >>

Kralore:
I was wondering if it would be safe to use the 2 lifestory neighborhoods in TS2.  What I did was, play both stories to get them to freeplay mode, I then used deleteallcharacters on the hoods, and then deleted all the houses from the hoods. Will it be safe to transfer them over to Sims 2 as subhoods using the "Merging neighborhoods" tutorial?

Flamingo:
I'd imagine that you'd need the content in Life Stories that wasn't in TS2, but aside from that, I really don't know.

SaraMK:
I have a tutorial somewhere about moving the neighborhoods into TS2, but what the heck would you want to move them for if you've deleted all the sims and the houses?

I mean, you've basically just made completely empty terrains, right? Why not just grab the terrain files out of the SC4 Terrains folder?

It is safe to move them, although you need both NL and OFB installed, otherwise you will most likely get crashes... although maybe with completely empty neighborhoods you won't. Also, you'd need to go into SimPE and purge all the dangling SWAFs and other crap left over from the deleteallcharacters.

If you really want a tutorial, do a search for my username and Life Stories or something like that.

I was mainly thinking that removing all the sims and houses would reduce the chance of any serious problems when running the hoods in Sims 2.

That's actually the problem LOL, for some strange reason EA included 3 versions of the Riley's story Four Corners hood terrain and thats all, no other terrain files are there. There is no terrain file for Vincent's Bitville hood.  I also like the idea of the hood having all the existing hood decorations.

I had a feeling I was missing something and it was deleting the SWAF's etc that you mentioned.

If you've got SimPE, why not just use terrain surgery?
