Sims 2 Reset Neighborhood Mac
Nhyiraba Valentin
So ive been playing my current save for awhile now, over a week, and I swear I turned off that stupid neighborhood stories feature. I didnt want anyone doing anything without my approval while im playing someone else. Idk how it happened but i noticed that a bunch of families had like pets and babies and when i went to check why it SOMEHOW got turned on again! This is like... save ruining for me, if i cant find a way to undo all the crap it just did im gonna have to start over and will lose like over an irl week's worth of progress. So before i do that I just figured id ask if theres no way to like, undo that stuff? I saw a reset button near it in the options menu but it didn't actually do anything when i used it, everyone still has all their changes. Or i guess by proxy there's no way to like, take my current character and keep all the progress hes made and put him in a fresh save file?
That works for pets and adopted kids, but the game doesn't let you delete infants through Manage Households. You need to have a sim physically go to the lot with the infants on it and use a cheat to delete them.
Sometimes I got infants from expand the family question. I just moved all infants via household management to a townie and then delete the household. No need to aging up these infants or play this household. // Not all cheats are access bar in a vanilla game or for console, and I think this cheat is one of this. You need a mod for full access to all cheats as destroy objects etc.
Since the update with neighborhood stories. I can see all the other sims getting pets and having children but I am unable to modify the settings. I can turn them on and off from gameplay settings but can't modify the settings for all or one family.
Like other game options, Neighborhood Stories configurations exist on a per-save basis. Because each of your saves has its own settings, you can switch back and forth between them without having to re-configure anything. Just load up and let the stories roll!
It's not working for me either. It worked the other day, but now I can't make any changes at all. I even disabled, saved, closed the game, rebooted, re-enabled, saved and tried again, but it's just not letting me do anything with the stories. Not for individuals, or for the world at large. It's like the button is broken. :/ Including an image so responders know I feel confident in which button to push to make it work...on my PC (FYI). Thanks!
@Shalarean Hey! Well that sux! I just tested this in my game. I was able to disable stories for Other Households and I was able to configure stories for the BFF household. I even got an icon that showed there was a custom configuration. In the images below, you can see the disabled households have blue configuration buttons, while the enabled one is green. What happens when you click the configuration buttons? Are you not seeing these options at all?
Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game
If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.
Sometimes, players may want to reset their user files for The Sims back to their default state, but don't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling their entire game. They may want to do this to fix game problems, have a clean slate and start over, or just to get a neighborhood back to its original state.
In all games, reinstalling the entire game will reset user files and accomplish this; however, reinstalling takes time that most players don't want to have to endure. This game guide will provide methods for resetting the game to its default settings without having to perform a reinstall.
Unfortunately, The Sims does not provide an easy way to reset game settings back to their defaults. However, if you simply want to restore Neighborhood 1 and Neighborhood 2 back to their default, unmodified states, you can do the following:
Resetting the user files is a lot easier in The Sims 2, as user files are saved separately from the core game files. The C:\Users\\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 folder is where your user files are stored. This folder houses your settings, your saved games, and your custom content. The C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 folder(s) (Depending on which expansion packs you have installed, and depending on where you installed the game) are where the core game files are housed. These files contain the game's programming, default game settings, objects, the EXE file where you launch the game, and a clean, unmodified template of the user data folder.
You can choose to either reset just your neighborhoods (allowing you to get back the default, unmodified version of the premade neighborhoods) or reset all of your user files, which essentially resets the game to its factory default settings.
Note: This will remove any progress you have made in the premade neighborhood, including any Sims you have created, any lots you have placed in the neighborhood, and any sub-neighborhoods you have attached. It will not remove custom content, lots in the lot bin, or your game settings. If you want to preserve a copy of your old neighborhood, be sure to back up your files beforehand.
Warning: This method will reset all of your game settings to their default values, reset all of your neighborhoods, delete all of your saved game progress, lots, collections, and custom content, and will delete any storytelling images you may have taken. If you want to preserve these, be sure to back up your files beforehand.
That's it! The next time you start the game, it may take a lot longer to load as the game will need to regenerate this entire folder (You've experienced this maddeningly long wait time when you first installed the game, remember?). It will regenerate this folder with all of the default settings, and it'll be just like when you first installed the game.
Much like The Sims 2, the player's saved game data are stored in a separate location from the core game files. The Sims 3 handles premade worlds differently than in previous games; it is no longer necessary to reset the game to restore a premade world to its original state. Instead, the player can simply create a new game and select the world they want to play. The game will then create a new save with the original, unmodified state of that world. The player can still choose to reset all of their user data in a similar fashion to The Sims 2.
Warning: This method will reset all of your game settings to their default values, delete all of your saved game progress, lots, collections, and custom content, and will delete any screenshots you have taken and have not uploaded to TheSims3.com. If you want to preserve these, be sure to back up your files beforehand.
Warning: This will reset your game's settings, clear out the library, delete all your saves and delete all your installed custom content and mods. However, it will not delete anything from your online gallery, as that data is kept at EA's servers.
If you would like to keep anything (such as your saves or your library content), back up your files before you delete the The Sims 4 folder. After the game generates a new folder, replace your backed up data.
