Yesterday when I opened TS2 (Double Deluxe; University Life collection; Best of Business; Apartment life (all origin downloads)) And it game me a weird error about how I don't have enough disk space apparently (I have 849 gigabytes free.. (not megabytes GIGABYTES!!)) Then I was like OK then? and pressed OK. The game loaded normally the only issue being there weren't any neighborhoods! Only the 'create new neighborhood button' :\ I thought "I'll just reinstall and it will work perfectly! :D" <--(wrong) I uninstalled it and then re downloaded all of my games opened it up and sure enough there they still weren't there... T_T I uninstalled it AGAIN and re downloaded just Double deluxe thinking that it may be an EP problem but when I opened Double Deluxe there still weren't any neighborhoods...
Here are my specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64
Intel i7 920 @2.67
ATI Radeon HD5870
9 GB DDR3 RAM
Two 1TB 7200RPM Hard Drives

Thanks for your help guys!

Where is your Documents folder located? It sounds like the game is having trouble writing to your user data files.

Do you have a Sims 2 or Sims 2 Double Deluxe folder in Documents\ EAGames? If so, try dragging it to the desktop and restarting the game. Do you have the default neighborhoods then?

The path to my documents folder is "C:\Users\Michael\Documents" I can't imagine that it would have any trouble getting Read Write permission to it... But the only folder in "Documents\EA Games\" is Mirror's Edge... Now I'm just stumped... I deleted my EA games folder (I don't really care about my ME game saves) And try to download again I guess. (Thank god I don't have a download cap...) Is TS2 a unicode application? That is my last thought, because I have my locale set to Japanese (because I use a lot of non-unicode Japanese apps) Changing my locale fixed it! It must of been unable to find the neighborhoods because of the encoding! :D
