I mean, you've basically just made completely empty terrains, right? Why not just grab the terrain files out of the SC4 Terrains folder?
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.
That doesn't make sense. The hood can't exist without the terrain file, I believe. Can you list which files you see?

If you've got SimPE, why not just use terrain surgery?
I don't believe there is an actual "Terrain Surgery" tool similar to the "Sim Surgery" tool. Simpe does let you edit the NHTR values to change things in an exsisting hood though. One thing I might try is to create an empty custom hood in Sims 2, Export the NHTR and NHTG resources from the Lifestories hoods and import them into the empty custom Sims 2 hood and see what I get.

The sc4 terrain files are used one time only and that's when a neighborhood is generated from them. Once the hood is generated those sc4 files are no longer used or needed.
Sims 2 and Lifestories don't actually use sc4 terrain files when they put the pre-made hoods in your game (Pleasantview, Strangetown etc). The hoods are already generated from the sc4 files on the install cd/dvd.

There's a tutorial in the War Room on how to do neighbourhood terrain surgery using SimPE.

Thanks Kyna. I did a search for terrain surgery and got zero results which puzzled me as I have done it several times using that tutorial.
