Scripted events not triggering and empty storytelling
Sorry about the category, I wasn't sure where exactly to put this.
So anyway, the scripted events won't trigger in my Pleasantview and Strangetown. Veronaville is the only hood in which they work properly.
I have clean templates of all hoods. I use meetme's for Desiderata Valley, Riverblossom Hills and Belladonna Cove. For the base game hoods, I've used different ones:
Genetically correct clean templates with scripted events for
Pleasantview and
Strangetown and
this one for Veronaville.
All are main hoods, not sub-hoods. I have backed up the Neighborhoods and Storytelling folders in Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection and deleted them, allowing the game to generate new ones as they load up the templates. I also deleted the folders, launched the game and quit immediately after without opening any of the hoods. That didn't work either.
I saw some mentions of changing the hood UID's but that sounds
very tech-y to me and I have absolutely no clue on how to do that.
I humbly ask for your insight and help, I am at my wit's end.
