Hidden Springs

[marilyros]

I installed hidden springs via launcher using one of the links from the downloads post and it said that the installation failed.  Is there any way to fix this?

[Cathy]

I'm also trying to install it, but so far no success

You have to install HS just like any other sims3pack. It works just fine, you're doing it wrong. We didn't need another thread for this.

[Cathy]

I just got the file from another link and it works fine. Maybe the previous one was corrupted....

[marilyros]

I did it right.  I have other CC for sims 3 and they work perfectly fine.

Can you tell me the link ?

[Dramagirlie]

can anyone please post Hidden Springs as a .package file. I am using a mac, and for some reason that means that when I download .sim3pack files form the forums, they don't install through the launcher. Thanks!

I used the .rar file from the downloads thread, it installed fine.

are you using a mac? If so, how did you install it? did you just download and put it right into the downloads folder, or did you have to put it through another program first?

No I don't use a MAC, I wasn't replying to you specifically, sorry.

There are a few recidivist MAC users here, someone is bound to create a package file at some point.

Does it normally stay at 0% for a long time when installing it through the launcher?

[witch]

How long is long?

[honey_bunny]

30 minutes and still at 0%. I closed it out and looked in the Installed Worlds folder and the file it created was HiddenSprings.tempworld  

And it wasn't in game when I started it so I dunno what's wrong because it's very rare for me to have a problem installing store stuff.

Try re-downloading? I used the .rar, extracted, decrapified and installed no problems last night. I had a good look round Hidden Springs - bit underwhelming really - and all seemed normal. Well, if your normal is rich white hets.

Please tell me that you are not using dangrax's file.

One has already been posted, look in the correct place to find it.

If you are talking about a .package file already being posted, I am aware of that. I downloaded the .package and .world files, put the .package in the World Cashe folder and put the .world file in the Installed worlds folder. I loaded my game and nothing for Hidden springs shows up when I go to start a new game. I messaged the poster of the files to ask if I was doing anything wrong, but if you have any suggestions, i would love to hear them!

Try this:
- Put the packages in your Packages directory (under Mods)
- Put the world with the Sunset Valley world. If you installed in Program Files, it's in a subdirectory a few levels below

[Dramagirlie]

I am using a mac, So I installed the game in my documents folder. Sunset Valley is a world that came with the game, so I'm not exactly sure where that is. I searched it and found a few .nhd files and a Sunset Valley.sims3.backup folder in my saves folder. Could you specify what folder to put the .world file in, or are there any Mac users out there who could help me out?

Thanks!

Is anyone else having 'name' issues with this? I can get it to work but everything comes up with names like "Gameplay/Excel/DOT03_Wor" and the like.

I'm pretty sure that's what happens when you use packages for worlds instead of the sims3pack, if you are using a sims3pack then IDK.

My bad, I didn't see the Mac reference. If you do a search in your Mac for the Sunset Valley.world, where is it?

I don't have a sunset valley.world. I do have Barnacle Bay.world and Riverview.world, which are both located in the Installed Worlds folder.

[Dramagirlie]

I put the Hidden Springs.world file where my other .world files are (Installed Worlds folder) and have tried putting the Hidden Springs (objects).package file in both my mods folder and in my world cashe folder, and the neighborhood still won't show up in my game. I also tried changing the hidden Springs (objects).package file name to Hidden Springs_objects.package, which is how the object files for my other downloaded worlds are formatted. This also had no effect.

[MegAnne]

And where are your executables? Just to clarify: we, poor Windows users, have Barnacle and Riverview in the Installed Worlds directory. But Sunset Valley is somewhere else.

[Dramagirlie]

If I recall correctly, app.

I don't have any .app files.
