I have an interesting problem. Whenever I start up the game, the neighbourhoods I have established myself in (Pleasantview and Strangetown) do not appear on the menu screen. I started in Pleasantview, and everything worked fine for a while. I start it up one day to find it's missing. All the files are still in the EA Games folder in My Documents, but it's just not there. Frustrated, I started in Strangetown, giving up on the hard work I put into my first game. I start it up later, and the same thing's happened.
Now the only selectable neighbourhoods are Veronaville and Make A New Neighbourhood. I'm not allowed to move into Veronaville, as that's where my brother has set up shop, and he fears for his game if I move in... Any help to recover my saved neighbourhoods?
