This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default Can't install fixed neighbourhood templates, new shopping districts, or make an uberhood
Banging my head against the wall here. I have meetmetotherivers alternate subhoods in Best of Business Folder. Tried putting meetmetotherivers main neighbourhoods in Documents - Ult Collection - Neighbourhoods. Have the Mootilda mod. If I delete the OG neighbourhoods, nothing shows up on the main screen. If I keep both in, I still can't add subhoods other than the default ones.

Right now, the only shopping district I can add is the custom viper canyon one. Strangetown is also fucked and none of the correct townies are there? Like they're random generated ones. All other hoods seem fine.

Totally stuck.

Running on:

Windows 10
Intel Core 19-14900K, 3200 Mhz, 25 Core (s), 32 Logical Processor(s)
32GB RAM
Intel (R) UHD Graphics 770

Have you read the install instructions? Are you sure you're putting them in the right place?
If they're full, playable hoods, they go in Documents
If they're templates, they go in the install location.

(And can you link to the spesific ones you're trying to install? There are a lot of templates/hoods floating about, and MMTR has a bunch)

If they are templates (for the install folder), you need to delete the full hood it replaces from Documents (for instance N001), so it can regenerate. Changes only show up with a hood generated after you installed the templates and you've run the game.

So I think I figured out the issue -- if they're in a nested folder (eg Pleasantview - then the renamed neighbourhood folder) they won't show! They seem to be showing now (:

The only remaining issue is MMTR's main Pleasantview hood which loads but has no sims in it?
