This user has the following games installed:

Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life
Default Main hood to Subhood without SIMPE?
Is there a way to turn a main hood into a subhood (ie Old Town as a downtown) without SIMPE? (I'm a mac user) I tried placing the neighbourhood folder in Nightlife/TSData/Res/NeighborhoodTemplate but it didn’t work. :/

If you wamt to have Old Town as subhood instead of a Main hood, you will need to download a version of Old Town that is already set up as a Downtown hood.

I don't recall who created Old Town, but you should ask them to make a Downtown version if they have not already done so.

Edit: searched for who created Old Town, and it is @marka93

The creator did make a version of Old Town as a shopping District.

If I remember correctly though, you don't need SimPE to turn convert hood types unless you want to change certain sim types.

Maybe this tutorial will be useful to you: http://modthesims.info/t/502306.

Yes, exactely. I've been using that wonderful tutorial, although I assume for MAC would be harder because of the AGS (but there's also a way to convert a subhood without it).

My general suggestion is to add the new subhood without sims, since in that case you would need SimPE to check them properly. Maybe you could just convert the subhood and then recreate the families?

I didn't know that there was a shopping district version, that's great! And thanks to the others who linked the tutorial. I skimmed it before thinking it was for windows only. Good to know!
