Haha that is very interesting. All i have to say is that you replaced the wrong file somehow, cause that should NOT happen for any reason. However, no biggie. Go to the following folder and COPY !!!! DO NOT CUT!!! the camera files out and paste them into your mydocuments cameras folder. Its C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UserData and the cameras folder is in there. copy all the text files from there and replace the originals in the my documunts/ea games/cameras folder or whatever.

PS check out my thread in general modding about trying to figure out how to fool the game into thinking its in neighborhood mode and showing the other houses while in in game...have to say its not going very well unfortunately

Okay, now I really don't know what the blazes I've done. The camera files are exactly the same, which means I copy and pasted you adjustment somewhere else....and I've a clue where.

SO it look like I'm stuck creating all mah sims in Bshop and importing them into the game that way.

If I unsistall and reinstall the game will that restore my original settings?

i NEED help i can't dowlaoded it there just come a tekst file and that cane i dont dowloade please HELP

Frezzi, I had the same thing. What you need to do is drag the mouse over all of that text that opens up and press Ctrl-C to copy it. Then open up notepad and paste it in there. Save it to the same name mentioned in this thread, but save it to your desktop temporarily. Then, go to the original file in your game directory, back up this file. After backing it up, copy the file that you just saved in notepad to the directory where the "original" game file is located and say yes to overwriting the file. That should do it for ya


GOOD LUCK !!!

So has anyone figured out how to see the houses next door when in another house, or the decorations, trees etc that you put in the neighborhood. I get the whole neighborhood screen but only the one house in the game. Can't see any other houses, or decorations. thanks

well, i like it alot. but its not working for me, can you send a default one?

I have copied the text and it works but it appears at the beaggining

I have copied the text and it works but when I get to the neighborhood I can´t see the houses It appears something like a big cloud and I can´t move the camera 

I have copied the text and the game starts as always but suddenly

The neighborhood disappears and I can only see a blue and black background
Although the camera moves .
Conclusion: I can´t play !!

Would somebody please give me the original neighborhood text?
:weep:

hi were do u put this file ????????????

I think I understand, but the thing I don't is where to start! Do I go into My Computer or My Documents? It sounds really awesome if I wasn't so afraid of ruining things. HELP ME PLEASE! Thank you!!!

I had the same problem with the blue and black background and I suppose that this camera has difficulties with really big and crowded Neighborhood. My Pleasantview has 150 houses and about 1000 inhabitants. The problem didn't show in sparsely inhabited neigbh. It comes back to normal as soon as the default camera is reloaded. I kept the original safe. Anyway I have a spare "dead installation". One of my computers has a clean installation of TS2 that I don't play at all, just keep as recover material.
Sorry I don't know how to upload, that 's why just such bla-bla-bla.

Here's the ORGINAL Neighborhood Camera.
Just drag it into your My Documents/EA/The Sims/ Cameras and let it overide the old one.

"S"
V^^^^V

I've clicked on the link and it didn't work! Can someone help?

Simsmomma - I just tried what you had put on so I hope it works!

how do you get roads now on the neighborhood that you can now see? ...

Pasha knew that he lost a house on the edge. I did not till I discovered where they had gone. I believed that it had simply dissapeared. Nice one and thanks for that!

I love this camera, but it does not seem to work with University. My game kept crashing until I removed this file. Does anyone know how this can be fixed? I had a huge neighborhood with about 200 houses and now I've lost half of them. Any help would be appreciated.

Strange , I do not have this problem. It works very well for me :yippee: .

With instalation of University the camera-options has changed. I have established it again and it works without problems.:thumb:

I have used text from the first message from here.

Hi there ,

Here're 2 easy ways to save any text files from web-pages.

1st and the easiest way: "Right-click" & "save as" (to wherever you like)

2nd: if you've opened the text file in the browser, then go to "file" --> "Save as..." (to wherever you like) --> Save or Ok or etc...

The above 2 methods need no modification or copying or what, but just simply saving the original file to your desired location.
