This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default Custom neighborhood crashing after Load
So I have this neighborhood that I personally created. I put nearly 450 hours of play time into this and as such, it's very valuable to me. I last worked on it in 2014 and because of that, I don't seem to have any other backups of it. I'm currently running Recuva on an old PC to see if it can find one of my older backups, but I'm not holding my breath.

Anyway, this neighborhood immediately crashes when loading it from the menu screen. HOWEVER, I CAN enter any of the subhoods such as universities, downtown hoods, shopping districts etc, just fine. I can even load into the lots on those subhoods with no problem, it's just the main Neighborhood hub that I am completely locked out of. I have tried removing the Downloads folder and that didn't have any effect, as I would have imagined. There's nothing really wrong with the game files as all the pre-packaged neighborhoods load just fine as well. It's just my personal neighborhood that I put my heart and soul into that doesn't work. It will parse the loading screen and as soon as the loading bar at the top is finished, the game freezes and the last few seconds of sound is played on a loop.

I tried running Mootilds Hood Checker and it seemed to have found some problems, but whatever fix it applied, didn't solve the issue. I am including the log file from that, however. I want to fix this, I just don't even know where to start. I'd even be willing to upload the Neighborhood files somewhere for somebody to take a look at if they thought it would help.

Here are my specs:
Windows 10 64 bit
i5 4670k
GTX 1080
16 GB DDR3 1866mhz RAM

And, it probably doesn't matter, but I have TS2 and the EA Games folder installed to an SSD.

Did you actually have the hoodchecker fixed those by clicking on remove? That should clear all of the above errors, I think.

If that does not help, I would try to delete the cache, accessory and thumbnails folders.

I don't know if the hood has become unreadable, but when my hood vanished after more than 4 years (and it is some time ago, but I am 100% sure of this) - it did not load at all. All the other hoods were there when i started the game, but my hood just was nowhere. I did not know what to do back then, but this is probably what I would do now.

Yes, I made sure to click Remove.

I think it is safe to delete the NeighborhoodManager.package. The game will build a new one. Maybe try this?

the problem might relate to one or more of the following::
-graphics settings (game and/or computer)
-windowed vs fullscreen
-content in the main neighborhood
-neighborhood's terrain type

if content in main neighborhood, the Hood Replacer program would be able to remove/replace it.

Alright, so I tried this neighborhood out on a different machine, an old Acer laptop. On this computer, I WAS able to get into the main neighborhood screen. ALL of the lots seems to be functioning except for one. I moved the family out of the lot and tried entering it in build mode. That didn't work and the game crashed. So I tried playing that family on a different lot. That did work. It seems to be something wrong with that lot, so I bulldozed the lot and loaded in an earlier version of the lot I had made before the family ever moved in. I then moved the family back in and entered it. Voila, the game seemed to run fine. I tested out every other lot in the neighborhood and had no problems, so I copied that neighborhood folder over to my main PC and attempted it once more.

I STILL couldn't even get into the neighborhood, even after fixing the problem lot. I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. There is no difference whatsoever in the EA Games folder on either machine.

In case you need the specs from the old PC here they are:

AMD A6-3400M APU with Radeon HD 1.40 GHz
6 GB RAM
Windows 10

Right - that sounds like it's your current system not the game files. Can you remember which combination of EPs/SPs you had when you played it and which version of the game you were playing (disks)? And the same now?

I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.

Where can I find this? Did a search and came up with HoodReplace 2.3: Replace Neighborhood Terrain. Is that it?

Thanks

Yes, it's exact same version as I have on this PC. I have used the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection on Origin for both PCs.

Also, the graphics configs for both PCs are currently the same as I haven't bothered tweaking them until I get the neighborhood fixed, if that's even possible.

yes, that is it.

clarification:: the replacing/removing is for trees and decoration objects.

Have you added any new cc recently? It may be worth trying to remove those - just in case something became corrupted.
