Brokeback/Fresh Mountain -- Plenty of new YA Genes to pollinate!

[Madame Mim]

Piece of information (please don't ask me to explain what string of my own stupidity led me to this discovery).

C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds is the S3 Neighbourhood templates folder and any hood built from a specific template file needs to refer back to that file every time it loads.

[malianx]

I think they are actually savegame templates or something similar.

[Madame Mim]

When you have two files in the Worlds folder you can choose between two Neighbourhoods (from the drop box) to build your game on. They are world templates.

Next!?

They are more than that, it loads something(s) from them every time you load a save.

I dropped Fresh Mountain into the Saves folder, loaded it up, and it worked perfectly. Moved in a family of four into one of the houses (Octo-Mom Minus Many), moved some furniture around, got the dad a job and sent the mom to the bookstore, because that's always the first place to find when you move, right? No trouble whatsoever.

This game might--might--turn out to be tolerable after all!

I'm glad that you're enjoying it, dstucki!

Crazetex, will you be doing an empty Riverview template?

Deleting sims from clipboard leaves junk inside. IIRC, Pescado has something in the works that will delete sims properly. Until then, there are no empty hoods.

Has anyone got any made sims made up, I mean really good ones if so can you upload them for download.. and how would you add them to your game

Also, redundant redundancy is redundant.

See mixreality's post. I will, however, be working on making an awesome neighborhood as soon as the create-a-neighborhood tool is released.

Oooooooookay so just when I think I'm safe from the Story Progression thing, sucked back in.

I dl'd Fresh Mountain yesterday, installed last night, played one family for about 3 Sim days, quit the game, started the game, went to switch houses and there are are little baby bastards everywhere. I don't get how that happened because I've had Progression off since I installed the game (RAZOR with Crackfix) and have NEVER had a problem with new rando's in my "worlds" or "hoods" or whatever.

So I can only assume, if someone creates a world WITH PROGRESSION ON, then it's on forever no matter what the settings are?

[Salomon]

Progression OFF doesn't work regardless of creation status, you may need Awesomeware.

Yes, I'll need Awesomeware no matter what. It's just weird that suddenly Story Progression was on in a newly installed neighborhood, but not in any other neighborhood I've been playing. Ever. My only evidence that it's off again is...when I had my Sims read the paper for Weekly Events, THE ONLY EVENT EVER DISPLAYED IS ABOUT SPORTS. No births or marriages. No new people to go and welcome to the town. Then after installing this hood, I had Rachel Bommshel read events and behold, at least 6 children birthed and something about an expensive wedding. I've since saved and exited the game since that awful baby boom, and went on an age-up-then-starve-to-death killing spree. I'm gonna test it out a but more to see if MOAR babies grow from
 the ground.

I believe I fixed the clipboard detritus in Awesomemod. With Awesomemod, however, there is simply no need for empty hoods. You can't TRULY empty a hood from in-game normally anyway, there are several households that exist offlot, as well as the NPC house: None of those can be touched from Edit Town.

AwesomeMod DOES include a command to INSTANTLY empty a town, however. Just type "destroyallhumans".

having a problem with fresh mountain.... first, my character (sim) is getting duplicated, so i have 2 of me... and after a while of playing the game it crashes..... only got this problem when i put this town in.. and yes its in the right place..  my docs/electron arts/the sims3/saves..... any ideas?

[Crazetex]

I have no idea, bakerhands. My game has never crashed.

[Aphrodite]

Are these downloads not available anymore? I keep getting an error message when I click to download.

[Stef-su]

I have the same problem. Can anyone fixx it?

[HazelEyes]

My Fresh Mountain shows a saved game with a blue icon, but does not allow me to select an active household, enter the neighborhood, edit the neighborhood, create a sim for the neighborhood etc. It's completely blued out, I can select it but cannot perform any actions. Either my game is broken or I downloaded something into the wrong folder.

[Mootilda]

If you read the entire thread, you will find out that the neighborhood was incorrectly cleaned and so contains extraneous stuff which may cause future problems.  My guess is that the download was removed to prevent people (like you) from hurting themselves.

[Nova]

Has anybody used the destroyallhumans method to clean all sims out of Sunset Valley and Riverview?  What I am looking for are downloads of these neighborhoods with all lots in place, but no characters at all.  This would be for people choosing not to use AwesomeMod, or those who have failed in trying the method (whistles innocently)
