Title: Re: i wish i hadnt deleted a neighbourhood but i did... Post by: Bangelnuts on 2006 December 22, 18:48:32 Do you have a back up of the deleted neighborhood?I always do a complete neighborhood folder back up of the hood I play. that way if I have to delete the original for any reason I can use my back up and restore the neighborhood . otherwise as Jordi says there is no way to retreive a deleted neighborhood

Title: Re: i wish i hadnt deleted a neighbourhood but i did... Post by: ThyGuy on 2006 December 23, 04:58:30 I've accidently deleted neighborhoods by not paying attention and being a moron. They should have that -moron proof- form of deleting stuff.
Delete? "Yes no" Are you sure? "Yes no" Are you -really- sure? "Yes no" really DELETE This? "Yes no" *Click* .... AW SHIT! NOT AGAIN! Title: Re: i wish i hadnt deleted a neighbourhood but i did... Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 December 23, 05:28:25 I hate "foolproof" deleting. People will delete it anyway, and it just obstructs me when I want to commit mass deletion.
Title: Re: i wish i hadnt deleted a neighbourhood but i did... Post by: Sagana on 2006 December 23, 15:34:54 I hate it cuz it makes me feel like the programmers think I'm an idiot.
"Are you sure?" "Are you _really_ sure?" "This will make things _go away_" Yes! When I clicked the big button that says "delete" I _really_ understood that deletes things :p Even if I am an idiot, I don't want my nose rubbed in it. And, as you said, it won't help if I'm being stupid anyways. Title: Re: i wish i hadnt deleted a neighbourhood but i did... Post by: dizzy on 2006 December 23, 16:33:49 There's a lesson here. Annoying, superfluous dialogs only cause most users to habitually ignore them. Coders should concentrate on eliminating all but the most important ones.
In a new neighborhood, you get about 5 or 6 annoying, superfluous dialogs before you even start to play it. Title: Re: i wish i hadnt deleted a neighbourhood but i did... Post by: Skarlath on 2006 December 28, 01:37:18 Is it safe to delete a neighborhood? I've heard it's bad to delete sims, so I'm wondering if the same goes for neighborhoods.
Title: Re: i wish i hadnt deleted a neighbourhood but i did... Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 December 28, 01:38:33 Deleting a neighborhood will cause it to be destroyed in a Big Fiery Ball Visible From Space.
...since this is kind of the entire point, it cannot really be said that this is a bad thing. |
