“And now, come here, asshole. Good luck! And don’t fuck this up!”

Ivy must admit that she’s feeling… kind of glad it didn’t work? I mean, Remington is a great friend and all, but his overly sweet attitude and his wish to always do the right thing… He can be a real tool sometimes and she doesn’t know if she could have stood it for a longer period of time. This and the fact that while the date was nice and all, she felt kinda… alienated by all the romantic stuff?

“Ivy, I-”

“Stop! I’m not thrilled! You told me you liked me! Took me on a date. And then you jump ships as soon as someone ‘more in need’ of your help shows up? Dude! I know you want to be the knight in shining armour that swoops in and saves the damsel in distress! You know what? Fine! Just make sure you don’t wake up down ten years down the line and regret it because I sure as hell won’t pity you!”

Wow, thank you for your quick replies!

simsllama said: If I understood you, you can’t just simply change the type of a subhood by just renaming them. You have to fix its name in order to restore the neighbourhood.

questforsims said: you have to go and fiddle with the neighborhood id, right now the game is reading it as a downtown because in the neighborhood file that’s what its marked as. I believe you can crack open the file in SimPE and manually change it’s marker? Though it might be best to message meetme about it since she’s the queen of neighborhood corruption. okay so, I did this just as a test but what should theoretically work is, you need to go into SimPE, open the neighborhood.package (inside N00X or whatever) Open the IDNO, and you’ll see two things, one is the parent name, which you’ll want to change to whatever you’re new ID is, and the other is Neighborhood Type, you’re going to want to set it to normal, and since yours was a downtown it should be set as such. Hope that helps 🙂

Thank you both for your help! Things like this always show me what a noob at SimPE I am (I can change genetics and that’s it). I changed the IDNO, but the neighbourhood still doesn’t show up. I guess I messed something up (probably playing it in its incomplete/corrupted state- although I now have to question why it showed up in neighbourhood menu in the first place). I’ll try it again with an unplayed copy and if that doesn’t work… I guess I’ll just play it (let’s be real: I’ll just fool around in it for a while before I get bored again and return to my other hoods) as intended? (A downtown to an empty neighbourhood)

Thanks again! I was surprised at how quick you were. I think that really shows how awesome the Sims 2 community is! ❤

On the topic of Main Hoods and Downtowns (and trying to change them)

So “renaming” a Downtown neighbourhood (in that case meetmes’ alternative Downtown template) to turn it into a main ‘hood does not work? Atleast for me. After loading it once, it just disappeared from the neighbourhood display. It’s still in the folder, though (and yes, I checked if all the data has the same NXXX-in front of it). So I guess that’s just how it works? Or is that actually possible and my game is turning into a big fireball?
