Never thought of that! I'll try it right away.

That saves my Pleasantview then. But I have even more questions! My Strangetown is filled with ghost characters. There's about 800 of them in the folder & I've never even played that hood. It was my hood for all the stray unwanted sims which I (stupidly) sometimes even transfered through the lot bin.  But I love the way I made the neighbourhood look so I'd like to have it in the newly installed game as well. So my question is basically if there's a way to copy only the terrain with houses and decor into a new game, but not the characters. Before copying I could move the Strangetown people into the sim bin & then copy the folder, but I don't know which one, or if that's even possible. I know about terrain surgery, but that doesn't help me with the houses & decor.

Maxon, but then I would lose the progress I made with the families in Pleasantview.

It seems there's nothing I can do but start all over with Pleasantview & edit changes manually in SimPE once it's updated for Seasons. I have another question though. Is there a way to package a fully furnished house with sims living it, but obviously I don't want them in the package. If I just move them out, all the furniture goes with them. And I don't want to kill them all one by one. Any tips and tricks?

Hi. I play mostly my custom neighbourhood, so I only just noticed that my Pleasantview is missing downtownies & (playable) Bluewater Village people. As in, they never were there. (I would've noticed 'cause all of my other townies have been made-over) I was just wondering how that happened.

Also, is there a way to prevent this from happening after a reinstall? I'm getting a new computer that can handle Seasons, so I'm backing up all the neighbourhoods, including Pleasantview, in order to copy my progress into the new game, but I'd like for the new game to spawn downtownies & put Bluewater Village people where they belong. They're all accounted for in all my other neighbourhoods. Why is Pleasantview left deprived?
