Default Sims 2: All of my households are gone
When starting up my ts2 game, everything was gone. My saves, my downloads, everything. I started it up again, and most of the downloads were back - but my families and their houses are still gone :(( has anyone been in the same situation? i dont know what to do

How old is(are) your Neighborhood(s) ?
How big in size, are your cache files? (Content Registry, accessory.cache, group.cache & cigen.package) You should get rid of them, delete them before they get too big.
You might have a corrupted game...

Je mange des girafes et je parle aussi français !...surtout :0)

Backup? (Because that's why we need those).

Hoods disappearing may well be corruption, so I hope you have a backup.

When you look in the Neighborhoods folder, do you see the subfolders for the missing neighborhoods?

Those are the stealth hoods. Do you see the NXXX folder? Does it have character files and so on?

NXXX? Like N001? I see the "Characters" and the other files/maps

Yes, the neighborhoods are numbered according to a protocol. N001 is Pleasantview, etc. If you can see them, and they don't show up, corruption is very likely, but first - try deleting your neighborhood manager file, then launching the game. It should create a new neighborhood manager file, and it should show all the neighborhoods that have folders that aren't too corrupt to load.

ETA: Hang on, you said households, not neighborhoods. I wasn't awake yet. Scratch all that. Look at them in SimPE. Can you find the characters who belong in those households? what color are their backgrounds?
