Style note
In general, our "house style" is to italicize the names of games. So, when you see something like The Sims 3, and think it needs to be linked, change it to The Sims 3 rather than The Sims 3. Dharden (talk) 14:56, December 26, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Restoring Neighborhoods
It seems that you've done it right, except for the storytelling picture. First, go to your saved game folder in My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Neighborhoods\N001 (Pleasantview for example). You'll notice it's missing the Storytelling folder. Make one and leave it there. Now, go back to your installed game directory in UserData folder (the folder where you got the original neighborhoods). There's a Storytelling folder there.

Inside the Storytelling folder, find the screenshots you want. Remember, there's snapshot, and there's thumbnail. I'm sure you know which photo album belongs to which family. Notice that the snapshot (or thumbnail) has a file name like  The x's are the family instance. So for example you want the Broke snapshots, the x's are 2dae7a30. Now find the XML file in that folder as well named.

Copy the snapshots, the thumbnails, and the XML file to the Storytelling folder in your saved game again. Do that to all the families in the same neighborhood, and there you have the photo albums again. :)  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  07:18, August 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * The Baxter family snapshot is also in the Storytelling folder inside your The Sims 2 folder in My Documents. It's always there.


 * Can I suggest you something? Next time if you want to restart a neighborhood, try using Tarlia's Clean Neighborhood. It's better without excessive townies. Also she's fixed some broken Sim DNAs. Strangetown has the most occurrences.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  17:00, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

RE: The Sims 3 Network Error
I quit patching through the launcher and downloaded the patch manually instead. It was rather buggy and every once in a while it said my game was up to date even though there were new store patches. Which version do you exactly have right now? 1.55 or 1.57? Just a note that I don't log in while playing anymore. And I haven't patched my game to 1.57, so I can't test it for you.
