This user has the following games installed:
Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time, Apartment Life![Default](/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Maybe that sounded complicated. What I want to do is, I had backed up my N001 in My Documents/EA Games/TS2, and I want to put the backup in the nhood folder, but I am afraid that Bluewater ,etc will get corrupted again. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, if I backed up N001, if I delete the one in the main nhoods folder, and copy the backup N001 there, will Bluewater, Downtown, etc go with it? XD
Thanks

The full hood with subhoods and all should be in the N001 folder once they've been created. They're not saved the same way in the saved game as in the install folder. They'll save as just a file and a thumbnail, for instance "N001_University001" if it's a Uni hood, or "N001_Downtown001" for downtown, in the main N001 folder. Sims and lots should save in the Characters and Lots folder with everything else.
Make sure you fully remove the folder you want to replace, then copy&paste the folder from the backup into the same spot.
DO NOT let any folders overwrite. If you do, that's when you can get corruption and mixed old/new hoods or other issues going, because the overwriting process only overwrites identical files and pastes in non-identical files (or doesn't change some of them if you choose "don't replpace files") - either way, it creates a big mess.

Oh right, last time I had accidentally not deleted N001 and then copied the backup and that's what caused the corruption. I wanted to make sure that if I copy my back up this time after deleting N001 that all the subhoods will carry over. Thanks
