Default cc neighborhoods don't show up
Sometimes cc Neighborhoods don't display in the Game.

After unzipping, putting all parts into a Labeled folder and moving to
the proper SC4Terrains folder in the Documents,
sometimes Nothing shows in the Playing Game.
Even if I open the Labeled folder and put in the Parts individually.
I have even tried just placing in regular Downloads.

The most recent example is 'Greenhill Coast'.

FYI I do not have Sims PE, Pets or Seasons.

Could you please take a screenshot of your SC4 folder with the Greenhill Coast file in it?

Somewhat embarrassed to Admit I don't know how.
Isn't anything unusual to Show.

Open the folder and use the print screen button. Then paste it into an image program.

Edit: I noticed that the creator's combination of mods suggests that they're on a Mac. Would that affect anything?

Did you download a hood template, or a full neighborhood - and in which case, are you looking in the right place?
Full neighborhoods should show up in the neighborhood menu.
Hood templates will show up as one of the templates (along the long list of EAxis ones) when you make a new neighborhood from scratch.

It sounds like you've installed a template, so check if it shows up when you make a new neighborhood.
(This one, which sounds like the one you're referring to, is a template --> https://modthesims.info/d/682247/gr...od-terrain.html )

Yes, I am talking about a Hood Template, this time specifically Greenhill Coast.
But how can I put a Neighborhood in it when it isn't listed to Open?

FYI 'Greenhill Coast' did show up in my Game.
Dunno why.
Currently have it Installed inSC4 Terrains as Folder and separate parts
and as Folder in plain Downloads. One of them Worked.

The Initial Question still Remains, Why do some Neighborhood templates not Work?

An easier way is to use the screnshot function in Windows 10/11 - Windows key + Printscreen (possibly +alt, depending on the keyboard) and it saves the picture to a folder in Pictures. No need to mess around with Paint.

Picture can be uploaded by using the "go advanced" button, and the picture upload function there.

The files should be put in the SC4Terrains folder in your Doucments location, something like this:
C:\Users\[username]\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 (Version???)\SC4Terrains

When you make a new neighborhood, the terrain shows up alphabetically in the list.
