@Arthur Gibraltar thank you for the idea, it worked!! I changed the language to spanish, opened the game (copperdale was still missing text) and changed it back to english and now I the neighborhoods have their descriptions, I can see the requirements for the new lots and the items have their proper names and descriptions. The lot names are still missing, but I can live with that.

This morning when I started my computer and Steam finished loading I found that the Strings_ENG_US was now in my EP12 directory.

In Steam I ran the 'Verify Integrity' tool and everything came up as correct.

I had backed up my save files yesterday to troubleshoot with a clean install, so I loaded the game today with a test game I created yesterday. All the neighborhood descriptions were there - yay! But still no lot names.

So! I restored my save files and BEST NEWS: My saved games now have neighborhood descriptions, lot names and descriptions, proper names for all the new households AND all the new items have full names and descriptions!

Tested with a new game. Everything is perfect!

Suggestion for anyone with text issues still: Restoring a game from backup seemed to restore all the text that was broken yesterday. 

  • Perhaps backing up your saved game, doing a clean reinstall, and restoring your backups might correct any remaining issues. 

Hope this helps!
