I'm kinda glad I started from scratch - much more entertaining!

Not quite true... I tried that once and I never got a new Pleasantview that way.
I had to copy the Neighbourhood folder from Program Files.
My bad. You're right vecaroonie, it can't be just the individual neighbourhood's folder; the neighbourhood manager file has gotta go too, so it's the whole neighbourhoods folder that's be removed.
I've manged to pull this off several times; whenver I'm testing new mods, I generate a fresh game, and so far I've not had to remove the whole Sims2 folder, just the neighborhoods one.
Ancient Sim:
This is something I've been umming & arring about for a while now. I did in fact start a new Pleasantview a couple of months back, intending to use it when NL came out - I altered all the DNA for the preset characters (which is hopelessly wrong), resurrected Bella, Michael Bachelor, Skip Broke & Darleen (via SimPE) - I even made Skip the brother of Dustin & Beau so the third child would be his first with Brandi ... then when NL came and I started playing all my favourite characters I thought "No, I can't abandon them" and deleted the new one. Now I think maybe I shouldn't have!
I found that when I was playing the new version it was actually rather boring, especially when I had to play characters I couldn't stand (such as the Oldies, who I moved in with the Pleasants so I could basically leave them to their own devices and not have to bother with them). I honestly don't know if I could go through it all again from scratch, there are too many of my current characters I would miss and it would be a nightmare if I had to clone them all and remake them.
What I would really like to do is combine the best characters from all neighbourhoods. I'd love to see General Grunt & Nervous in Pleasantview, for instance. Seems the only way I could do that would be with cloning, though. Then again, I did move Mortimer & Alexander to Strangetown and back to Pleasantview with Strangetown Bella in tow (who married Alexander), with no ill-effects that I can see, so maybe I might try it and risk my third set of lips ...
KellyQ:
My daughter and I play the game together and she did some things without asking me if it was ok...like deleting the Oldies, Mortimer Goth and the Calientes (she's only 12, what can I say? :o) But she has created some characters that she's really attached to, so instead of resetting the neighborhood I decided last weekend to start a second account on my computer and play Pleasantview from scratch (and I got to add some "adult" content to it e.g. removed the censor patch, anatomical skins, etc.,). I've resurrected Skip Broke, had him romance and remarry Brandi, then I motherloaded them and moved the whole family into a nice townhouse....something interesting there, I found that when I moved them, Angela quit coming home with Dustin every damned day (pre NL patch). I am still looking for a nice girl for Dustin because for whatever irrational reason, I hate Angela, lol. I turned Mortimer Goth into an adult and had him marry Dina. I resurrected Michael Bachelor at the Caliente house and have plans for him and Nina. I did have Don and Cassandra get married, although I'm kind of regretting that now; I may have to remedy that situation. No plans for the Pleasants yet, I don't really like any of them but Lilith.
I'm like Ancient Sim though, what I would really like to do is just make up a neighborhood of my favorites like Nervous Subject, the Brokes and some CAS sims I have made in my custom neigborhood.
Assmitten:
That's funny, KellyQ, that you posted about Angela coming home with Dustin every day. Before the patch, I didn't realize that was a glitch. There is so much illogical intentional programming in the game that I thought they meant to do it, because D & A were dating. I thought maybe all non-live-in relationships would turn out like that.
