Hello again everyone!
So, Ive been having yet another problem, I recently put all my folders onto another laptop whilst I rebooted mine. I reinstalled the sims 2, put my folders back and installed AL that I just recently got. Loaded my game, my neighbourhood (Veronaville) was there, but no families, pressed the windows button, looked in ts2 folders and all was correct in the N003 folder. Shut down the game, looked back in the folder and it then wasnt there....wth!!
So I then turned on the game again, copied the folder, turned it off and replaced it with the correct folder...right?
Turned on the game, was fine, but on the neighbourhood loading page, it wouldnt go past the two lines of squares. Pressed control alt del, said it wasnt responding.
So today Ive been looking online for people who might have similar problems, I got Delphy Download Organiser, so I now currently have no mods, hacks or careers. Tried again, didnt work, took out cc, worked but had all my families there that live in maxis houses but no cc houses. So all day Ive been putting in a bit of cc, trying it (Works), and again and again until I have it all in, still works only the families still arent there. So I thought oh maybe I need to install some of the packaged lots that I have, so I did. Tried the game and made sure the neighbourhood folder was correct. It now wont go past the Veronaville loading page on the second line of squares and Im back to square one again. I have no corrupt files that I know of but I looked on Problems Reports and Solutions and I have attached the report details.
Thank you  :confused:

UPDATED
Ok so new news, I can now go onto my neighbourhood (Veronaville) but only my sims that live in maxis houses are there....so for example, two custom made sims are there in a maxis made house, but all my custom sims in custom houses arent there, and Ive installled all my custom content so whats going on?

I don't recognize the error.. What operating system are you using? Vista, XP, Mac (probably not since they don't have even FT or AL out for Mac) or even Linux using emulation programs like Wine?

Hey
I have Vista  :(

Neighbourhood N003 has a Bad file named "N003_Neighborhood.package" If you haven't played that Neighbourhood
you can copy the templete one from this location.
C:\Program file\EAGames\The Sims2\TSdata\res\userdata\Neighborhoods\N003\N003_Neighborhood.package

If you have there is only one thing I can say try using the Neighbourhood repair tool in SimPE. Do this by Opening
My Documents\EAGames\The Sims2\neighborhoods\N003\N003_Neighborhood.package with SimPE. Then under Tools,
Neighborhood, Fix Neighborhood UID's. Let that run save then try your game. Unfortunitly this is the only thing I know
of that might Help you. If it doesn't work all you can do is replace N003 Folder with a copy from the templetes and start over.

Thankyou! I'll give it a go  ;D

Hiya
Ive opened the file with simpe, but when I got into tools, neighbourhood, all I get is Neighbourhood browser, sim browser and sim surgery  :confused:
Actually under this file, theres another file called N003_Neighbourood.reia whats an reia file?

that is the animated picture that comes with the maxis neighborhood on the main menu screen when the game is through with its loading.

Oh yeah what version of SimPe are you using? New versions have fix neighborhood UIDs option.

Update your SimPE to its newest version.

Hi, its 0.72. That's the newest one right cause its AL?

Yes thats correct so look in tools up at top then go to the word Neighbourhood under that you should have 4 selesctions.

And you want to Open the File named "N003_Neighborhood.package" the one you were opening is the Picture you select from.

Hi, these are the only 3 options I get.

Is this the version you have:

if so you should get these options:

(http://i44.tinypic.com/2cxi991.jpg)

Yes, I have that exact version it's 0.72.1.33855. But I don't get that option.
I can see all my families that aren't appearing in my game on there....its so damn frustrating!
How about if I download Simpe again?

If you choose one of the other neighborhoods do you get the option? Look at that first before re-installing. Re-installing SimPE is not a bad idea - you could try it :)

Ok I will try that, thanks.


Updated:
Have just tried it with N001 and F001 and theyre the same, I still done have that option. Could it be Simpe or just my game's fault?

well the site has Simpe listed as 1C so it might be a third version of that build

I've just looked on the website and not sure where you get it from. I've never used Simpe before so its all new to me.  :confused:  :p

go here: http://sims.ambertation.de/

at the top choose "Downloads"

choose "I agree"

scroll down to "Main SimPE Download"

Choose the first one

Best of luck to you - let us know how it goes

Hey, I did as you said....and yeh I still dont get the option  :p
haha I dont know whether to laugh or cry haha!

In SimPe click the Extras & choose preferences. Under SimPe Settings put a check mark at Advanced Mode BUT BE VERY CAREFUL with what you do because you can seriously wreck your game. With that checked restart & see if you get the option to Fix Neighorhood UIDs.

Hi, sorry it took so long to reply, I've got exams coming up.
So yay I had the option after I checked Advanced Mode, and I started it up and the message popped up saying to back up my game which I did, then nothing happened. Im not sure if it takes a while or if I can just close it.
So anyway I tried my game and it was very quick loading, but my cc house and families are not there but my maxis houses and cc families are  :(

Hate to say this but it the best that could be done. you could always reinstall the CC homes if you remember where you got them. but i would check them for hacks and such.

since you made a backup you can put it back the way it was but N003 wasn't working then either was it? hmmmm... maybe someone else will have an idea - I am sorry  :(

Hiya
Oh don't worrry but thank you very much for your time in helping me, I really appreciate it.
Thanks! x

Soonsoon, some of us know how to use SimPE just fine, but if you have no ideas of how to help this poor person, don't post.
