Help! In what folder to place different kinds of costum neighborhoods in TS2 UC?

Hello everyone!
After quite some different variations of the title of this discussion searched into google I just decided to come here, since I can't really find what I'm specifically looking for, or maybe I'm just not searching right, but I have decided I will ask my questions here and come back to this anytime I need it.
So I would really appreciate if someone could tell me the paths for where to place different types of neighborhoods I install (like main neighbourhoods, shopping districts, downtowns, vacation spots etc, not SC4 terrains). I know some of those require mods and I am planning on using some. I decided to ask this since I downloaded some not so new worlds and the READ ME files only have instructions for TS2, not UC, and honestly when I go to programs/origin games/ts2 UC..., and see all the different expansion pack names and go into them and then see even more stuff, I get really confused, and I honestly don't have any idea. I remember installing some worlds last year before I formatted my pc, and even then I remember putting university worlds as main worlds since I had no idea what I was doing. So if anyone could help me with the paths, I would greatly appreciate it!

    If you're adding or editing the subhoods............

    Thanks a bunch! That's exactly what I needed beacuse ye, I am a cc hoarder so I like adding things to the game quite often and saw some very pretty worlds. And ye I do backup my game quite some, cuz I am a family player and if I lost all the families I've made, I'd literally die. Was starting to think no one would ever reply, that's why I inserted that help :#
    I appreciate you replying to this. :)
