It has come to my attention that very few people know that you can actually do this, and rather than explaining it to a handful of people in #sims2chat over and over again, I decided I'd write a little tutorial for how to do it
( Read more... )
Thank you for the info, plus all the other hints, tips and tutorials that you provide. You've helped make TS2 so much fun to play (at least when I can), thank you.
Thank you for this! I had no idea! I do have a couple questions though:
1) if I am planning on doing custom vacation hoods and have already placed in empty templates and removed the lots, do I still need to copy and rename or can I do it like the other hoods?
2) if I have an empty neighborhood I am working on but would rather not have stealth hoods attached to it, do you have any recommendations for how to keep that hood when creating a new template (if that makes sense)?
Anyways, thank you for this! It's greatly appreciated.
Ugh, sorry, I kept meaning to get back to this and I completely forgot!
1) The stealth 'hood (V001) isn't really related to the vacation 'hoods and doesn't have any lots, only tourist NPCs and the Travellers (bin family). If you've already put in an empty template for V001, then you don't NEED to move it like described in this tutorial, but it would be cleaner as you wouldn't get a useless stealth hood attached to all your neighbourhoods anymore. No matter how clean a stealth 'hood template is, having no stealth 'hood at all is always cleaner.
2) If you already have a new neighbourhood with stealth 'hoods attached to it, you can't get rid of those stealth 'hoods again without starting the neighbourhood over. You'd have to make a new neighbourhood (after disabling the stealth 'hoods) and move your lots to the new one.
Hope that helps and isn't FAR TOO LATE. Sorry for the late reply again. :(
Okay, thank you! I will see if there is some sort of hood replacer deal (I think there is), so I'll stop trying to make this neighborhood and follow your tips! Thanks for replying. :)
