Ugh!
I think I backed up almost every file... of course except that one!
So, I guess it isn't so bad... there were only TWO houses I hadn't placed yet that I really, really want to find.
I made one myself- the other I downloaded. I guess I start doing the search for the lighthouse I downloaded here... and try to remember how I made the other missing one! LOL
Thanks for your help... and now I know that the lot catalog file needs to be backed up too in the future- so thank you for that too.
Ok... so here are the results:
