I just created a new neighbourhood with a custom hood that I have used before. At most, I expected to have to go into PaintShop to make the neighbourhood picture work properly, but I have no idea what's up with this.  |

I quit the game and restarted, and it's still black. When I have the neighbourhoods at the opening screen though, it shows up normally?

Try pressing the tab key.  |

Nothing worked, although all the sub-hoods worked. I ended up just burninating it and making a new neighbourhood (yes the same one, and yes it worked this time).

This just happened to me tonight. Since installing OFB, I was getting a lot of crashes to desktop and funky graphics. The black screen was what finally made me check my drivers. There was one version that was newer than the one I had. Funny thing, either before or during the update of the video drivers, my directx got corrupted. Redownloaded directx and the new video drivers and so far, knock wood, so good.

It's probably because you named your neighbourhood Utopia. Sims are never happy with their lives so they can't live in Utopia.  |

My Sims are always in a euphoric state. Just because they're abusing the Bubble Blower doesn't mean they're euphoric! They just think they are! |

You know, I don't think I've ever used the bubble blower, ever. I mainly keep them with freewill off and on macrotastics. |

Check your camera files. That happened to me once pre-OFB when I made an error in modifying the neighborhood camera.

Camera files - speaking of I noticed that OFB was resetting my camera files (neighborhood camera), I finally fixed them once again and then marked the file read only. It hasnt changed since, I dont know though that if some point it will blow up but so far so good.

Interesting that you should mention that. I was just fiddling with those as well. I swear, I learn something new every time I come here.  |

Yeah man. I'll gnaw your face off.

The only time I've ever encountered a black neighborhood is when I enabled post-processing before I tried to enter one on the game's load-up. Apparently neighborhood view doesn't like post-processing that much. Debug mode makes this happen sometimes too, which is why I removed them both from my userstartup.cheat file.

I don't have postprocessing, but I do have debug in my start-up, which is far too convenient for me to remove anyway.
