sick minds are blind to the reason.

When I installed Bon Voyage it came with everything... including an odd new neighborhood labeled: Pets.
I cannot enter the neighborhood.
The picture is just of a green graph, like a coding error or something.

Neighborhood description: "For all the pets..."

I can't delete it, whenever I try I get a series of dings! and my game crashes.

Help?

I really cannot un-install my game.
I have too much content that I'm not willing to lose.

There is no actual "Pets" neighbourhood.
When the Pets expansion is installed a "Pets" neighbourhood loads but all it is doing is generating the pets and strays to populate the existing neighbourhoods with.
I can't understand why Bon Voyage should have done this at all.

Hm.
Well I can't really do anything for it.
And I'm kinda scared to go into my EA file and delete any neighborhoods.

Well what you could try is to MOVE the Pets neighbourhood to the desktop and then run the game to see if its done any harm. If it doesn't change anything then it should be safe to delete. If something does go iffy then just don't save the game and put the Pets neighbourhood back.

There's a girl who fogs her world and now she's getting lazy...

Alright, I'll try that.
By the way, this is what I'm seeing:

Any mods? Some mods can create really odd things..

acum esti acasa... nu ai unde sa pleci

Well, maybe.
But I do believe that it was like that when I installed BV.
Before I put in the CC.

And I doubt it was from a mod.
Would a mod put like, actual words that make a logical sentence in there?
confused

I don't know of any mods that actually alter the function or availability of neighbourhoods. They only alter sims or objects within neighbourhoods.

Have you tried manually moving the 'hood yet?

I finally got a chance to play last night and I moved the neighborhood file to my desk top and started up the game.
Everything was fine until I got into my neighborhood.

You know the boxes that pop up whenever you place an empty lot?
Well when it popped up, the background was a bunch of small red x's.
And when I took a picture, there was just text, no box background.

I put the neighborhood back, and it worked fine again.

I really can't re-install everything.
I have too much stuff and too many families that I really don't want to lose.

In that case I simply suggest that you ignore the neighbourhood and play the game as though it isn't there.

I don't really think I have a choice but to do that.
