Re: [SOLUTION] No Neighborhoods to pick from

Hi, sorry for my bad english (I'm french)

I have tried everything who was said here and nothing helps : After every new installation, the folders were empty (and the game crashes every every time the screen with "Pets"' was loading)... but I have finally found the solution !!

Delete the sims, but make sure you have deleted EVERYTHING (no ea games folders in your Documents, no folders in the disc C) and then, before you install again the sims 2 UC : turn your antivirus off !!! I mean every options !

In my case, it was actually the antivirus which did not allow all the components of the sims 2 to install

It had nothing to do with the "tm" and the systeme language

    @laparisienne123 , actually you simply need to move the Sims 2 folder (found Documents > EA Games > Sims 2) to your Desktop. Do not copy and paste or create a shortcut, actually move the folder. This will insure that your saved games (if you have any) and CC are safe. Next, you start up your game to allow for the game to generate a new folder. Check to make sure all of the Neighborhoods appear and start a new game and play for about an hour to insure that nothing else is wrong with the game. You shouldn't have to simply delete the folder, just moving it insures that the game will return to the "vanilla" state. 

    This works for both the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection on Origin and games run from the disk. I didn't know about the antivirus, but I will certainly alert folks in the future. Thanks for your information as it will aid other players in the future.

    Hi everyone. 


    Since this is a super old thread I've gone ahead and locked it to prevent further necro-posting. 

    If you need some help with a similar issue please create a new thread when you've got a chance so we can take a look. Thanks!
