Custom Sims 3

Hi everyone!


You can find the finished world HERE <- klick me!



Inspired by Gurra's 'Eastport' and 'Crestview' I took a night off, trank 12 cups of coffee ... and created a world.

Here are some pics:












The world is built on a small map. There are 4 tiny islands connected by bridges.

Right now I am test playing - but I would like some more testers.

If there is anybody interested in testing, just let me know, I will upload the world.

Cathryn, what a cute little world you made. I am sure there are people who would love to help test, but first we need to know that the requirements are.

Which EP's are needed?
Is there and CC in the world?

Oh, of course!

I used all EP's but non of the Stuff Packs.
I did not use any CC, but you might want to put some firealarms in the houses.

Houses:
4 homes for wealthy families
8 town houses
2 apartments

The 12 houses are all fully furnished and have room for at least 4 sims and there is also at least 1 crib in there. 4 of them have a tiny garden outside.

The 4 wealthy homes also have a huge attic, so you can store some more stuff or sims up there.

The apartments are hopefully working. They are for 2 sims and have a bathroom, 1 bedroom, an open kitchen and a small tv area. Because they are so small, there is a huge party room in the basement of the apartment complex, a laundry room, a grill area and a parking lot outside and a pool and chill out area on the roof.

Community Lots:
1 Cocktail Bar
1 Salon
1 Bookstore/Library
1 Consignment Store
1 Playground
1 Park with pond and fish

Rabbitholes:
Police Station
Hospital
Science Center
City Hall
Office Complex
School
Restaurant
Bookstore
Grocerystore
Diner
Coffee house
Graveyard
Criminal Warehouse

If you would like to test it, I would upload it.

Here is a pic of the whole island:

Please do upload it. You will need to place it on a file sharing site such as Mediafire. World files are to big for us to host directly, sorry. Then add the link to the download the world.

And here are some more pics:

Please report all bugs and mistakes and whatever I did wrong!
Thank you!

For some reason, the apartments don't show up as apartments. Does anyone have an idea, what I did wrong?

I used the following cheats:

testingcheatsenabled true
buydebug
restrictbuildbuyinbuildings false

and after building I turned them off:

testingcheatsenabled false
buydebug off
restrictbuildbuyinbuildings true

but for some reason, it did not work. :(

Did you use the Public Marker?
Did you use the Hidden Room Marker in the Apartment intended for NCP's?
Did you set the NCP's door as such?
Did you place an apartment Mailbox from buydebug?
Did you place a Callbox in one of the public areas that has the public marker?

Also you do have cc roofs on some of your houses. The white trim one, who's are you using?

Did you use the Public Marker? Yes, I did.
Did you use the Hidden Room Marker in the Apartment intended for NCP's? Yes, I did.
Did you set the NCP's door as such? Yes, I did.
Did you place an apartment Mailbox from buydebug? Yes, I did.
Did you place a Callbox in one of the public areas that has the public marker? Yes, I did.

Also you do have cc roofs on some of your houses. The white trim one, who's are you using? Actually, I have no idea. They must have been coming with a house I downloaded. I did not use them on purpose - I am really sorry!

Oh it is no big deal. I actually just made some EA Match white trim roofs and posted them. I know that one popular versions of the white trim roofs are no longer available for download is why I asked.

As to the Apartment, I know they are really tricky to get working. I have not picked up my copy of Showtime yet, so I can't go in and look. Are all common areas contained within walls or fences? This is one thing that is a must from what I have read. You even have to enclose the outdoor areas too. Does every hallway on all three floors have a public marker? Also any enclosed stairwells?

For some reason nobody downloaded this world yet (according to mediafire). Is there anything I should do or write or something else? Or is it just too bad to download it?

I downloaded it, so you should have at least one download. I will place an announcement for testers on the portal page.

That would be great! Thank you so much!

I posted it, so hopefully more people will see it, download it and post some feedback for you.

A suggestion: I have seen many requests for Small Island maps with roads, but empty lots, maybe you could also offer a version with No Lots. If you need to know how to be sure both versions will show up in a persons game let us know and we will point you to a great tutorial.

Yes, please do that. I would upload a version without lots too.

Changing the WPID is how you can have more than one version of a world. Scroll down to Post #4 for the complete instructions. It has images to help you understand clearer also. Don't be intimidated, as it is much easier than it might appear.
