Villa Sims

So did I, did you delete the Neighborhood folder afterwards? I did package some of the lots from that hood and installed them through Clean Installer.

Nope. I did use the mainsquare and the shopping street - couple of other lots too. Of course, I have the Dolphin Control this sim in my downloads, so I would not notice it.

Hidden gems are always such a great surprise

Absolutely loving this hood, but the original was shaky to say the least - there was a sim in the hood with memories of meeting sims that no longer lived in the hood and some of the community lots had owners that were no longer there.
I used Mootilda’s hood replace program (on MTS) and transferred the terrain and deco to my existing hood.
You have to be careful that you don’t end up with your sims in a mountain side, so I backed up my hood first and then moved all the lots with sims into one area of the map where I expected ground to be. Then I ran the hood replace and started moving things about.
Most of the lots in the original hood are from MTS, so its no loss not to move them over; you can DL from MTS and get clean lots.
