Problem: Town stories do not stay saved when edited.
I found the problem is in the .xml files in the \My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Neighborhoods\****\Storytelling folder.
In each of the four digit folders within the Neighborhoods folder, there should be a small list of files named webentry_0000000#.xml or something similar to that.
Open them with WordPad and find the file that matches the town you want to edit. Find it by looking inside each file and seeing if the story text matches your town.
At the end of each story caption there should be a line of code that reads <TextResourceId>0x00cb0012</TextResourceId> or something very similar to that.
Change it so that the <TextResourceId>0x00cb0012</TextResourceId> reads <TextResourceId>0x00000000</TextResourceId> instead. Do this for all of them, then save it.
Your town story should now stay saved when you edit it.
Alternatively you could just delete the .xml files and you would have a blank story slate that would also stay saved when you edit it.
Hope this helps anyone else who has this problem and couldn't find a solution like me. :)
