Okay, I have backed up my house. JUST to make sure. All I need to do is get rid of my entire Sims 2 folder and next time I run my game, it will create a new, default one?

Thanks for your help and continued patience :)

NOOOOOO!!!  Don't do it! ...:)

I understand that you want clean and original neighbourhoods.  So, drag your Neighbourhoods folder (in My Documents) to your desktop, and copy/paste from:

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UserData

The Neighbourhoods folder. It will give you hoods 001 (Pleasantview), 002 (Strange Town), and 003 (VeronaVille) in their original status.

The game will recreate the original hoods for all the EPs that are installed.

If you delete all your Sim2 folder, you will have to install all the game from the beginning.

1.  If you just drag your Neighborhoods folder to the desktop, you don't have to copy them from the UserData.  I thought that at one time also, but have during my testing of AL just started the game up without a Neighborhood folder and it puts the appropriate ones back into the game.

2.  If there is no TS2 folder in the My Documents path, the game, once you start it will recreate the default folders and contents.  There is no need to reinstall.  I've done this recently also.

gali:
Phew! Good to know, Ancient! Thanks, I got freaked...:).

Are you sure it will recreate the defaults again? Thanks for the info.

ancienthighway:
The only reason it wouldn't is if you went to copy data from UserData\Neighborhoods, and instead moved it so the defaults were no longer there.

If you are using cleaned up and or empty neighborhoods, they will be in that folder and will be created instead of the Maxis defaults.

The Megahood, if used would have to be installed iaw HP's instructions.
