Thanks, that's useful to know.

To be honest, I'm not too worried about getting it back, as I never play the screwed up base game neighbourhoods. I'm more concerned that this is a potential BFBVFS situation as my installation spontaneously didn't do what was expected.

If I do replace it, I'm thinking that that the UberMegaHood might be more entertaining, and has the added bonus of not having EA-ed sims.

*de-lurks cautiously for the first time*

I had a poke through the archives, but couldn't find anything which matches my problem; I could, however, be totally missing the glaringly obvious, in which case - *dons embarrassing but functional umbrella hat*

I had to reinstall Sims 2 and re-download all my carefully selected mods and CC (okay, the Director's Cut and less fugly face templates) due to an Act of Babysitter.

I un-installed the game, and checked that all the folders were gone, then re-installed the base game and all expansion and stuff packs bar Celebration and Nightlife (again due to an Act of Babysitter...). Before replacing all the mods etc I fired up the game, only to find that everything had reappeared apart from Pleasantview.

So, apart from the obvious - never letting the babysitter near my PC ever again - does anyone have any idea where the hell Pleasantview has vanished to during a fresh install?
