help with testingcheatsenabled/error log please
ancienthighway:
Generating the townies now should solve the problem.
You have two options. One is to use the NPC and Townie Maker to mass generate your townies. But with your neighborhood, you'd have to change all the clothes, and in some cases hairs. Christianlove's clothing rack can help with that. IIRC, it even provides you money to reclothe them so it doesn't cost your sim anything.
The other option would be to make them yourself and use Inge's teleporter as you mentioned. You get to select clothes, hair, etc without having to track the all down. But, you have to select aspirations, turn ons and turn offs, and names. You need a mix of something like 5 children, 5 teens, 5 elders, and 15 adults or so.
When I generate my townies, I use the NPC and Townie Maker. It all depends on how much control you want.
ladymiriam:
Oh, it's fixable, that's good news. I'll away and google the townie maker you speak of, I've never heard of that I don't think.
Thanks for the advice, I WILL get this neighbourhood off the ground, by hook or by crook.
ancienthighway:
Google won't help you. It's in the testing cheat spawns.
Open the cheat box.
Enter "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true".
Shift click on a sim.
In the menu that pops up, select "Spawn...".
You should now see a number of testing objects that can be spawned. NPC and Townie Maker is usually on the second page (More...) of the objects.
ladymiriam:
Oh right, I did google it though and it's a DL at MTS2, ha ha. I just read the first couple of comments, with DLs being down and all, and decided against it, someone there mentioned that the teleporter is a safe way to do things so I think I'll stick with that. I may try the cheat thing though,just to see.
Thanks for your time ancienthighway, you're a star.

The downloadable/buyable one is the same as the in-game cheat one. It's an extracted object. You wouldn't be getting anything different if you got the download.
Another option is to activate debug mode and shift click the mailbox. That, too, will generate townies and downtownies for you. However, if your computer is not uber powerful the townie making process may actually be incomplete and you could end up with townies and downtownies without LTWs. This is what happened to me and it killed my hood because it caused a LOT of errors. So I now use the Townie and NPC Maker and that makes complete townies. And my PC hasn't changed since the mailbox generated townies debacle.
Keep in mind that if you use the mailbox or the Townie and NPC maker, it will generate townies based on your current face templates. If you got rid of townies to get rid of Maxis faces and if you do not have replacement face templates, all new townies you generate will have the Maxis faces and you end up no better off than you started. If you don't have replacement face templates you probably should make your own townies. Or get face template replacements. I use a mix of Katu's and Selzi's templates (total of 4 different sets in the mix - you can use 1 face per template, so I just did face 1 = katu set 1, face 2 = katu set 2, face 3 = selzi set 1, face 4 = selzi set 2, face 5 = katu set 1, etc). Most face template creators have lists of other templates in their download posts so check MTS2 for Selzi's set and that should lead you to a bunch of others. Pooklet's set on GOS is rather nice, too.
