problem with custom world

[ElenaRoan]

I installed a custom world and it seems to have over-ridden the landscape of all other neighbourhoods, Pleasant View and Riverview included and affected saved games also.  I've tried removing the custom world but it's still occuring.  I've tried to find all the traces of the world but I think I've missed something somewhere.  I half remember seeing a post from someone detailing the various places the worlds put bits and pieces but I've been unable to locate it using the search.

Pleasantview? Anyway since normally worlds are downloaded via Sims3pack just uninstall it on your launcher if you want to get rid of it.

Done that.  And, since my launcher is slightly broken (thank you EA) I manually deleted it from installed worlds, world caches and C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds.  It is still over-riding the landscape of all the other worlds.

It may also be in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 World Adventures\Mods\Packages.  But it may also have already corrupted any of the games you opened already.  Try using the backup saves (make an extra copy of them first just in case).

I didn't put it in there deliberately but I went and checked the store packages I'd put in there just in case it had got mixed up in there by the launcher stupidly sticking it in the DCBackup along with normal package files but it's not there that I could find.  Though I did remove a fairly large file just in case.  It didn't make any difference.

I've also tried, again, deleting the cache files to see if it changed anything but it didn't.

Dunno if this will help, it's a quote from Interfection in this thread. Try the same setup with your downloaded world and see what happens.

"To anyone that's having trouble with playing games saved in Riverview,

Put the Riverview.world file in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds like Witch instructed.  Next, you must delete the Riverview.world file from your InstalledWorlds folder in your Documents to get it to work correctly."

Delete the files in DCbackup?

Ok, finally managed to track it down.  Turns out that the launcher, broken thing that it is, did get some stuff mixed up with the normal packages and I only managed to get it out when I completely removed all the store stuff that was installed at around the same time.
