Hi, I´m loving the town, buildings are amazing! I have played a few families so far, just wanted to let you know that Santiago and Haverford are all missing bio descriptions. Of course I can make some up, but out of curiosity, in which direction did you intend for these families to go? Also I´m happy to report that I have sorted out difficulties in Connery family. Let´s just say that the whole town is feeling sorry for a poor grieving widow with two kids who totally did not cheer when her husband died in a very very unfortunate accident...

@littleEgg, if you want to fix it for yourself, here's how:
You open the character file for each playable sim, go to "Catalog Description" and select "Copy string to all" for the first and third line. (Second line is the biography, which should already show up correct.) Commit and save. Repeat for each sim.

If you don't feel comfortable enough with SimPE to do that, I can PM you the correct names for the sims and you can edit them ingame with SimBlender.

I'd like the list of names. I've done everything I can think of short of changing the names via SimBlender.

Edit: I checked the language of my EPs/SPs in the Registry following this tutorial . They were mixed between US and UK spelling. Fixed that, redownloaded the hood and the names are correct!

The names are not correct for me. In the Haverford lot I have the male as Keira Louie, the female as Roberto Jalow, the toddler as Tracy Sartor, and the dog as Chloe Haverford. The other lots are messed up also. Any suggestions? I don't mind changing them if I knew what they all were suppose to be...may a list of names would be great> Thanks. I am anxious to play this hood.

Edited to Add: I did the above mentioned tutorial and the hood has been redownloaded and reinstalled, the game is loading right now so I will see if it worked.

Edited again to say that it did not work for me. I still have the "bad" names. I need a list of the residents to make the change.

I'm having the same issues. at first, I thought it was mods causing problems so I removed all the custom content and hacks from my downloads folder but my sims still reset when trying to interact with the alien Exploratory Drone. I had a crash too when I went to the bowling alley via car.

Yes, Exploratory Drone is bugged, but I play an alien-free game so I was going to kill him anyway. I have yet to check out most of the community lots but the households are very playable once you've rearranged the bathrooms and given the apartments an extra kitchen counter.

That's because the name is unfortunately still too long for it to appear in game. It can only happen if you replace the "ORK02" part in both the folder and every file in it where it appears with a combination of four digits like "ORK0" or "ORK2",

You still have to try to fix it to make it okay.

do i have to change it in EVERY file, including the household and lot ones?

Some people can play hoods with longer names perfectly, so no need to change if that's working well for you (as AndrejUruba says, there might be other issues to be fixed), but I know of people who have had issues with the names, which is why I thought this would be the problem. If you end up changing the folder's name, then every file that has "ORK02" in its name needs to be changed, I'm afraid. ORK02_Lot1 becomes ORK2_Lot1, and so on.

I'm sorry, but it still doesn't work and you have to fix it and change the names so that there can only be four letters or a number, it's your job and duty, so try and I'd like to see your neighborhood.

Hi, I saw that there was an issue with the recent update, I didn't expect for there to be such an error during the renaming process, I renamed the file and recompressed it. The update is coming out today in a few minutes

It's another single problem, it doesn't appear in my neighborhood menu, I still don't see anything there, so it's a problem again and it's renamed.

I suggested the rename because that's usually the issue when people can't access the hood, but from what AndrejUruba and others have said there seems to be something else. Does anyone else have any insight into what the actual problem might be and how to fix it?
