Neighborhood preview picture needs to be fixed

I tried using Simpe to change a sim's skintone (which failed anyway) and when I then started the game, the picture for choose a neighborhood for the neighborhood this sim lives in changed to something it shouldn't be!

What I did in Simpe: I browsed for the Neighborhood, then did Sim surgery. I hit the save button and then quit Simpe.

The file in my documents for that image is all good, and in Simpe it all looks good too. I can still play in the neighborhood no problem and my sim survived it too. I tried swapping the NeighborhoodManager.package file as suggested somewhere about disappeared neighborhoods, but that didn't change anything either.
I tried replacing the picture in the correct neighborhoods folder with a new one, png and right size, still it shows white and green things.

EDIT: I also tried a system restore.

I didn't backup my neighborhood before doing things with Simpe. Don't mention that I should have done that, because I know very well I should have...

When you take in-game snapshots, do they save to the neighborhood snapshot folder or are they turning up in the main one?

[ixupi]

They save to Neighborhoods\N004\Storytelling, and the last one I took is also in the main storytelling folder as Screenshot and Snapshot named pictures.

If it's finding the folder to save your pictures in, I have no idea why it wouldn't be finding the folder to read the neighborhood image from.

Are you sure the image has the proper name?

[ixupi]

Yes, it is N004_Neighborhood.png, and I compared it to other neighborhood's images and I don't see anything wrong with the picture. However, I did notice that the package file belonging to it is named n004_neighborhood while it should be, compared to other neighborhoods, N004_Neighborhood. I'm renaming it now and I'll check if it makes a difference.

Edit: AND THAT FIXED IT! Haha, I'm so glad this is solved! Silly SimPE, renaming package files into lower cases...

Thanks! :D
