Re: [SOLUTION] No Neighborhoods to pick from

I'm not sure if someone else has experienced this in this thread because I haven't read the latest posts, but I solved this problem by changing my computer's locale. It was set on Japanese and once I set it back to English my neighborhoods showed up. Not sure if this will help anyone else but I figured I'd share.

    Thanks for that. 

    Could you post instructions how to do that ?

    I'm going to do that too! I'm suspecting thats the reason why my game doesn't work since my system locale is also set to Japanese!

    To change your system locale: (I am on Windows 7)

    You go to the following

    1. Control Panel
    2. Clock, Language, and Region
    3. Click "Change the date, time, or number format" under "Region and Language"
    4. A menu should show up, click the last tab "Administrative"
    5. Click "change system locale"

    I manually changed my system locale to Japan/Japanese beforehand (was playing other games), usually your system locale's default should be to English/USA so this solution may or may not work for you. Also when you change your system locale you will need to restart your system.

    Hope this helps!

    Edit: Okay so after I changed my system locale, TS2 worked! The neighborhood showed up, and the previous folders that wasn't in my documents were there too 🙂

    Thank you. I've added that to the first post as well. I can only accept one solution but hopefully people can pick the solution they like better
