Why wont this sim go into my game?
simpleprincess:
Where is the neighbourhood data? i want to restore pleasantview, ive got no custom neighbourhood so im fine.
EKozski:
MyDocuments/EAGames/TheSims2/Neighborhoods/N001

Actually the data you want to COPY is in C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UserData\Neighborhoods\N001. You will copy it to MyDocuments\EAGames\TheSims2\Neighborhoods\N001
If you move it, you'll never be able to restore the neighborhood again unless you reinstall it from the CD.
EKozski:
I never knew that.
I'm lucky I go near the Program Files.
If I copy N003 from Program files to MyDocuments, will the houses and Sims I created/downloaded still be there, or will I have to start over again?
I know it says, UserData.

In theory, if you just copy the lots from the PF path, the original lots and your existing custom lots will appear. In practice, with the way Maxis has found so many ways to break their own game, anything could happen.
The safe thing to do would be to package the lots you want to save, restore the neighborhood, then reinstall the packaged lots. This would be after deleting the neighborhood files in the My Doc's path. If you decide to copy the hood over top of the existing hood, make sure you back up your game files first. You could save yourself the package and install steps, or you could corrupt the hood so badly you have to delete everything and start over again....or restore that handy backup.
