Hi!!!
I just want to ask a few questions?

1-If I have a problem in one of my neighbourhood, could I just delete that neighbourhood (by deleting the correspondent folder)? I wrote at the faq that I can delete the neighbourhood, but I didnīt understand if I can delete just one neighbourhood (with all sub-neib). And what I do with this file: NeighborhoodManager.package? I delete the file or not?

2-When I have a problem (crashing problem only on that house) on a home, but not with the family that like there and if I move that family the problem “will go with the family”?

3-If I use (on a house) too many times the cheats “boolProp snapObjectsToGrid and moveobjects on ” to put the objects on a place that I want, is it possible that when I play with a family on that house the games crashes because of that?

4-When Iīm putting lots on a neighbourhood and if after I want to play with some house, my game crashes. However, if I try to open that same house later, that will be no problem. Could someone explain me why this happen?

5-If I backup my game and now I want to put them back, but I want to keep that houses that appear on the catalogue could I just put back some of the folders, like Config, cameras, movies, etc., but doesnīt put back folders like savesims, LotCatalog? Is it possible?

JUST ONE MORE QUESTION

I download a house and install with Sims2pack Installer. Everything was fine!! When I go the the game I saw all the objects that came with the house, but I didnīt find the house on the catalog. Why this happen?i Know the folder teleport must be empty, but after I install that house 2 files (b06fe1358b8d50fc1a9a99fdd998f84f.Sims2Tmp and b06fe1358b8d50fc1a9a99fdd998f84f.Sims2Import) appear on that folderWhy?.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English

1 - Delete it from within game, on the neighborhood chooser. There's a trash can icon. Use it. Don't just delete the folder. It's better that way. Don't touch the NeighborhoodManager.package file

2 - Depends on what the problem is. Maybe yes, maybe no. Use the Game Problem FAQ and see if you can resolve it without having to move the family.

3 - Those cheats are perfectly safe. They wouldn't cause crashing.

4 - Sounds like your game has a lot of glitches.

5 - To be safe, back up the whole thing. Config saves your game settings. Cameras has the game's cameras (and you only need it if you use a hacked camera like GunMod's). Movies you only need if you have movies you've taken in-game you want to safe. Neighborhoods holds your neighborhoods, lots in the neighborhood, sims that live in your neighborhood, etc... LotCatalog has your installed but not in-neighborhood lots. SavedSims holds your Body Shop creations and other Body Shop downloads if you have put content in there. It is possible to put back only certain folders, but you need to know what those folders do - best to back up everything so you have everything in case you realize you're missing something that you wanted to keep.

Question 1: Do I have to delete one by one (the sub-folders, or I just delete the neib). First I delete on the game and after on the folder? Or the other way - I donīt think itīs possible?
Question 2: I move the family to test and nothing happens, the game didnīt crashes.
Question 4: whatīs the meaning of glitches? What can I do?
Question 5: When I put back my back up , do only thing that I want keep is my savesims and logcatalog - because I made same sims and houses and I donīt want to lose them. The others I will put them back. Can I do this? Did I explain clearly? My Enghish is not the best....

1 - Just delete the neighborhood from in-game on the neighborhood chooser. It will delete all sub-neighborhoods and the folder.

2 - Then the issue was with the lot.

4 - Glitches are weird errors. It sounds like your game has a lot of them. I don't know why that problem would occur but from the sound of it, your game has way more than its fair share of glitches. Could be custom content related or could be something else in your user files, or just a weird inexplicable glitch.

5 - Yes, you can just save SavedSims and LotCatalog. Just back up everything anyway. You may find that there's something you actually did want to keep. That will just give you lots in the lot bin and sims in the premade sim chooser in CAS though - any lots or sims living in your neighborhoods are in your Neighborhoods folder.

I have a similar problem in my game. When I delete the neib, the game didnīt replace the a new one. Why? I hope it doesnīt happen the same with you.

nyane - Yes, you can.

Divadamoda - That's normal. The game won't replace a deleted neighborhood. You only get replacement neighborhoods when you delete -all- neighborhoods and let the game regenerate fresh ones, or when you replace a neighborhood folder with the original from the game files. Please see here: http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Reset_Neighborhoods
