Hiya, I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. I've copied the Neighbourhood file to my desktop but inside is only:

N001 - which is odd because I don't have a Pleasantview save?

UBER - uberhood, in which the main hood is Pleasantview

Tutorial



The neighbourhood I want to back up is my custom one -- Nuclear Test Site #64, but I don't see that file anywhere to back up, am I looking in the wrong place?

N001 isn't always Pleasantview. It's just the first neighbourhood you created.

If you aren't sure that it's the right neighbourhood, then open up storytelling and see if you recognise the pictures.

You're exactly right, it is my custom hood! If I rename the folder (as in, just the N001 initial folder) to NST 64 so I remember it's the correct one, will that break anything? Or should I just make sure to put it back to N001 if I install the backup?

Yeah, that will break it. If you want to renumber the hood then you have to also renumber all the subfolders and files within it.

But it should be okay if you put it back to the original name before using it.

I'll just leave it then -- safer that way! Thanks so much for the help

If your game didn't automatically generate the standard EA hoods when you ran it, something is probably messed up.

You could just create a folder with the neighborhood name and copy the backup there, folders and all. That's how I do it.

Yeah, but if you don't want them then you can delete them and the N001 will be taken up by a new hood. That's what I did.

It did, it generated vanilla Pleasantview
