Title: Neighborhood Disappeared, WTF? Post by: meixhiang on 2012 June 30, 18:30:59 So, I made a brand shiny new neighborhood with all the subhoods (I have every EP except AL) using the clean templates. I spent hours lovingly crafting townies for it in CAS and used the Inge teleporter to put them in the game as townies.
Then I loaded another neighborhood so that I could package up an unoccupied dorm that I wanted to move to the university in my new neighborhood. When I re-loaded the game, my brand shiny new neighborhood didn't appear in the menu! It was gone. :( So I loaded it in SimPE. All the sims are gone and there's just a bunch of "UNK" stuff in there. What on earth? I am assuming there's no way to get this neighborhood back in working order, but does anyone have any idea how this happened so I can make it not happen again? Title: Re: Neighborhood Disappeared, WTF? Post by: Ichigo on 2012 July 01, 05:59:24 I had an incident like that, turns out my antivirus was being trigger-happy and preventing changes from comitting. Is anything else acting up? This sounds like a problem beyond Sims.

Maybe it's just a fluke, then? If you're correct, Pescado, I am not sure what would cause that. I guess the lesson is if I am going to spend hours and hours setting up a neighborhood I need to be way more obsessive about backups. |
