Default Missing Sim Lane houses?
So I have the 8 in 1 version and when I installed all the old town houses were there fine, but all the houses and families in Sim Lane were missing. I tried to copy and paste TemplateUserData but they were still missing. Does anyone have a userdata that has them that I could use?

You're sure you're in Neighborhood 1? Neighborhood 1 has the familiar houses, Neighborhood 2 has the Mashugas and a few more empty houses, and all the other neighborhoods are empty in the loop, with the same Old Town.

Ugly is in the heart of the beholder.

Yup, it is neighbourhood 1, though I deleted it because Sim Lane was empty and someone said on the internet that copying the TemplateUserData and renaming it UserdData would fix this, but it didn't and Sim Lane is still empty.

That's odd, but not unheard of. Sometimes the game just has a mind of its own; if you're referring to the original Sim Lane houses and families, you can find them on Sim Echoes: http://simechoes.org/simechoes1/maxis/homes/homes.html

If you had any families, you can try -that is, if you have a copy-, copypasting your UserData/Houses and UserData/Characters folders and their contents over the new ones. Does 8 in 1 allow to install separately every expansion pack?

If this "8 in 1" being discussed is The Sims Complete Collection, then no it doesn't give options to install individual expansions, it just prompts for the next disc. If it's installed on a computer that already has another version of Sims 1 installed, then it leaves the neighborhood data that's already there and installs the additional content. At least this was my experience with installing Complete Collection on a computer that already had the base game and (IIRC) Livin' Large.
