I told you that we should have asked for directions....

Has anyone else had problems with their entire neighbourhood disappearing?
I installed BV yesterday and played quite a bit of time in a test neighbourhood. I saved many times, went to many different lots, and generally had a grand old time playing.
But today the entire neighbourhood is gone.
So what'd I do wrong?
J. M. Pescado:
Either BV has BFBVFS'ed your neighborhood, which has happened several times in testing so far, or your neighborhoodpackagemanagerthingy is corrupt, and you need to nuke it and let the game regenerate it.

Is that possible when I specifically created this neighbourhood post-install?
It's happened three times now, whenever I create a custom neighbourhood.
ETA:
Okay, I've located and deleted the neighbourhoodpackagemanagerwhatsit, and created a new neighbourhood. I exited and entered the program, and once again, the neighbourhood's missing.
ETA2:
Deleted the whole Sims2 folder and let it regenerate. (thus giving back the default hoods)
Created a custom neighbourhood. Switched 'hoods and went to Veronaville. Moved some houses around. Went back to the custom hood. Still there. Went back to Veronaville. Changes still there.
Closed the program and reloaded.
Veronaville changes still there, but once again, the custom 'hood has vanished.
B:
It sounds like your game is not able to write information to the disc when saving. Thus, so long as you stay in the game (and information is cached) you are fine, but after exiting and reloading, the hoods disappear.
Try running CHkDsk and see if it shows any disk integrity issues. To run chkdsk:
Click "Start" and select "Run"Type "cmd" (no quotes) in the dialog box, and hit "Enter"At the prompt type "chkdsk C:/r" (without quotes, and only using C:/ if it is the volume on which your game is installed) and hit "Enter"You'll get a message that your computer needs to restart to run ChkDsk. Hit Y to confirm this, and then restart your system
Doing the above will rule out a disk integrity issue as the source of your problem.

Also, make sure to check that you don't have the Sims 2 directory or its subs marked as 'Read-Only' in your My Documents.
