New hood is covered in decorations
So I decided recently to make a new hood, that would be small-town Washington themed. I didn't want townies or the family bin sims so I followed this guide to do so. Now before I had installed the clean stealth hoods I had been using meetme2theriver's templates and I believe I placed them ALL which includes the main hoods in program files. I also had used this townie pool replacement in some hoods two of which I had only built in and I'm almost certain it was still in when I booted up Belladonna Cove for the first time. After starting up Belladonna Cove I added Emerald Heights as a downtown. I did have some mistakes while installing the clean templates where I had been accidentally renaming the My Documents N001 and not the one in Userdata... ending up replacing Pleasantview and regenerating the Neighborhood Controller. Before realising my mistake the game would crash when trying to generate the new hood, leaving a partial file I would then have to delete. I forgot to do this two times, what happened the first time is that the Pets stealth hood showed up in Pleasantview's place, and then when I figured out what was wrong and replaced Pleasantview it was named Douglas (what I had been trying to name this new hood) and had no description. After (I thought) fixing it by plopping meetme2theriver's N001 back in Neighborhoods and letting the Neighborhood Controller regenerate it finally let me generate the new hood. But it looked like this:I'm just using the Bluewater Village terrain since I can't get sc4 to install on my computer. I'm fairly sure I've used this terrain before in a MUCH worse off game running with the same latest EP/SP (M&G) Just before doing all of this I had removed this mod from my downloads folder and added notownieregen. I checked the hood with hoodchecker and there wasn't anything in it except for Valid: Neighborhood: [Invisible] Token - Townie - Badge Seeded and Valid: Neighborhood: [Invisible] Token - Global - BFF Initialized
I'm not even sure why it was able to generate after all that mess. I don't know what to do with this now, should I delete and try again? Reinstall? Can I painfully delete all the hood deco and use this?

I have a lot of mods so if anyone needs me to list them all I will, but I won't be able to for a while. I have pretty much everything in the essential mods except for notownieregen which I only installed recently. The last things I installed (I think) are:
-default replacements for male maids, head mesh for female servos and texture replacements for all, and private school uniforms
-TwoJeffs Perfect Gardens
-Gummilutt's Faster Cosmetology Badge
-marhis last name dialogue and gender prefs
-a fair amount of objects from around the sims 2 I haven't placed yet

If I missed any info please let me know! I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting something but I've never seen anything like this happen before and I'm a bit frazzled today anyhow

I've seen it happen before and I don't think I did anything to cause it. Sometimes the random hood deco that spawns just likes that pond way too much. XD As I'd only just created the hood I deleted it and retried until I got a reasonable one.

Random trees spawn anywhere there's trees in the original SC4 terrain. For some reason, those ponds are flagged as trees.
Somebody made a fix for this, I think; but I don't remember who.

You only reinstall if you are moving computers or your install is corrupted, apart from that you are giving yourself unneeded work. A reinstall should be the last thing at the end of a long list.
This however, yeah is a glitch and I have also seen it posted about before. When you look at the placement you can see the game thinks its trees.

You can remove them by hand - it takes a long time, but it can be done It is still better than a reinstall.

Thankfully, there's a fix for the pond: http://lowedeus.tumblr.com/post/168...noticed-that-in
(Plus updated to include seasons, plus 3 different colors to choose from, plus bonus ponds
Not sure if it fixes your current problem, but it should keep this from happening in future generated hoods.
For the trees, I don't know. If you're lucky, they're spawned as tree groups so there's less mess to clean up.

I'd use Hood Replace and copy the terrain but not the deco onto a new neighborhood. Removing all those trees one at a time is going to be awful.

Haha thanks everyone, I think I'll try removing the deco by hand and getting that fix! If the removal takes too long I'll just regenerate but I'm glad to hear I didn't break my game somehow. I'm a worrier and I tend to be a little trigger happy on the reinstall button anyway but I just did an install about two weeks ago and that's a little soon even for me :P
