This is from NP99 forums:
By the way, if you want to play a neighborhood, but you don't want to mess up one of the original
three, you CAN make a copy of a neighborhood.
To make a copy of Pleasantview, for example, copy everything in "My Documents\EA Games\The Sims
2\Neighborhoods\N001" to "My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Neighborhoods\N004". (first unused
neighborhood)
The files in a neighborhood directory have the neighborhood number in the filename so a rename the
files will be necessary.
Open a command prompt window and change directory to "My Documents\EA Games\The Sims
2\Neighborhoods\N004". The main N004 directory and all subdirectories (Characters, Thumbnails, and
Lots) run the following DOS command from the command line to change the filenames.
ren N001* N004*
(Don't forget the asterisks or it won't work. Also, I am using XP/2000 so if you have Windows
ME,98,95,3.1,3.0 or earlier, your mileage may vary because I can't remember whether the rename
command works this way in those versions)
Start up the game. You will be able to click on the arrow to go to a second page of neighborhoods and
your new neighborhood will be there and it will be called Pleasantview. Click on the name of the
Neighborhood and enter a new name. Press ENTER to save the name. I had to go back to the original
Pleasantview because the game does not allow duplicate names and rename it from Pleasantview0 to
Pleasantview.
All your Sims will be intact, including relationships and family, they will not have their ages
damaged or mucked with, and the new neighborhood will be indistinguishable from the original (until
you play it). The sims are distinct and different, like with neighborhoods in Sims 1.
You can make as many copies of a neighborhood as you desire and never spoil the original one.
The "master copy" of the neighborhoods are stored in this directory:
Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSData\Res\UserData\Neighborhoods
N001 = Pleasantview
N002 = Strangetown
N003 = Veronaville
If you delete the corresponding directory from your My Documents directory and copy the one from the
Program Files directory, you should restore the original neighborhood.
