It is in this folder : C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Pets\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate (for the default install) Copy this folder to your my docs...\nbhoods folder Just change the 4 first digits from P001 to N... a non users number for all the lots and the characters You can do it with a renome.bat copied and launched in each folder with this command: rename P001*.* N099*.* (you can copy and paste this line) There is 67 NPC pets, a new terrain and two families. |

You know a site allowing re-upload of free build/buy stuff in lots ? Help us to update the list ! * Plus j'échoue plus je m'approche de la réussite * The more I fail the more I approach the success (Lao patul MMVI AD) |

Thanks! (It's not spam, the hidden neighbourhood works.) The tip with the renome.bat is extremely helpfull when having too much neighbourhoods or swapping neighbourhoods with others. |

See this is what I don't understand... EA officially announced that there were no new neighbourhoods being shipped with the EP... so why the sudden change? I hate the way they are so secretive about these things! And they did say there wasn't going to be a new neighbourhood! Argh they really do frustrate me! I feel like giving them a piece of my mind... but I am too nice for such things.  *Sorry if THAT was spam* |

I guess maybe they had one in the first place, but decided to leave it out. I hate it when they hide stuff like this... Anyways, thanks for the find! |

ooooh I've gotta see this lol *edit* wasn't all that exciting. The two families weren't any different than the ones in the normal family bin. |

When I installed this neighborhood using the directions in the original post, here is what happened... There were dupes of the Crittur and Roseland family in the family bin. No new families at all. Also, I set up five community lots, but when I tried to make a Sim go to one, there were no community lots listed. One interesting thing I did notice was the description for this neighborhood said "Hidden pets neighborhood." It would seem that the game creators intended for us to find this neighborhood and play with it. |

What is the new terrain? |
|
I don't mind if you call me "MSD" or something for short. Perhaps someday I'll have leisure time back...

I don't have Pets (yet at least) so I can't see it. Am I wrong in interpretting "new terrain" to mean a new terrain type like "Lush", "Desert", "Dirt", and "Concrete"? Or, is it just a new neighborhood template? |

No wonder the game just gets slower and slower. All the "hidden" crap. |

Ah, okay. Thank you, Jaycee, for clearing that up for me. A new terrain type would certainly be something to get excited about it....granted, that it was a good terrain type, of course. New terrain templates can be downloaded all over the place. |

Well basically, it was an entirely empty terrain, it had no houses or decorations whatsoever, just a blank hood. In the family bin there was duplicates of the Crittur and the Roseland family. |

I think they had intentions of another hood maybe and heard a bunch of people complaining about how there was a new neighborhood with each expansion and they decided to yank it or something. But it seems not a lot of work was done on it seeing as how it's a ghost town lol |

This nbhood is not a "hidden bonus" alas ! As EP4 add only pets and not a new type of building or a new sub-nbhood they thought there is no reason to pay someone to build a new nbhood ! I dont know why this aborted work remain with the final game, it is so easy to erase it. For myself it is a new proof of the way ea/maxis works : sadly bad and only for money ! |
