Reading about people having lots of problems in this world, I never tried playing this one. Now I'll dare to give it a shot. Thank you for the fix :)

Thanks for the fix but is there a way you could possibly fix the routing around the Van Gould mansion? I keep trying to place a lot across the street from the mansion and I keep getting either an un-routable terrain problem or a "can't place on lot's" issue. I would like to be able to use the entire area along the road but the game won't let me.

There's no routing issue there - there's nothing that prevents routing to those areas, that is - no blue paint (see image #017).

If you're trying to place Lots via Edit Town, you need to choose small ones that can fit among those rocks. Which I was able to do just fine (in-game shot #018). It can't align to the roads, however. For that sort of precise placement, you need to do your edits in CAW (image #019).

I'm not sure if this is within the aim of your mod, but I've noticed that the Sims can exit the shower in Affordable Elegance at 237 Knott Street, one of the included houses, and end up stuck outside, on the same level as the basement and need to be reset (or wait for Overwatch to notice them). It doesn't always happen but it's regular enough to be annoying (and a potential problem for vampires).

In my game I appear to have fixed this issue by rotating the shower 90 degrees. I'm using your Fixes Applied version on Moonlight Falls (obviously). Would sticking a big shrub or hydrangea by the wall also prevent it, or would they just end up in the shrub?

Here's a screenshot of the shower as it comes.



Thanks for all your hard work

I'm assuming they mean CAN as I have had Sims in a home in Starlight Shores do the same. They enter the shower as normal but then exit through the wall and end up outside.
I think it's just an EA glitch though as it happens to my Sims in an existing house that I had modified myself. It was a brand new shower too.

Sorry about being unclear. The shower is accessible, but as Menaceman44 says, when the sims exit the shower they can end up outside, stuck on the same level as the basement. Rotating the shower 90 degrees, or reorganising the bathroom seems to stop sims ending up outside.

I'm unclear whether things like this are within the aim of your project, but I thought you might want to know.

EDIT: I suppose I could have asked first, sorry if I'm wasting your time

Is this a new development? When did it start? Are all showers affected the same way, or just this one in picture? Does this same shower have this same behavior in other lots, other worlds? In other words, does the .world need fixing by rotating the shower, or does the shower itself need fixing via a script or something; then need to know which patch screwed it up (because this issue didn't start happening on release day, just recently, right?), and what showers are affected.

If it is something that affects everyone's game universally, then yes, this falls under the "world fixes" purview as only a fix of the Lot in question in the .world file would permanently fix it once and for all for everyone.

I think I recall reading about this when Roaring Heights was released...does this "jump outside" bug affecting the Roaring Heights world have the same shower, does anyone know?

Sorry for the late reply.

AFAIK it is something the EA showers do occasionally. It is not specific to any particular world in my experience. I have it I have had it happen in Sunset Valley, Riverview and Bridgeport (The EA standard versions, not your fixed versions, haven't started a game in those worlds in your fixed versions yet) as well as Moonlight Falls. Unfortunately I don't have Roaring Heights, so I cant check that

It has happened in EA made houses and ones I built. Unfortunately I don't recall which EA houses

If a shower in an EA house does it I will move or rotate it and when I build a house I now tend to place showers so the sim won't teleport outside.

I don't know if it happens with all the showers, I just use the Simple Shower and Exhilarating X-Foliator in my builds as IMO all the other showers are butt-ugly and I don't have the backless one from the store. I haven't noticed it with the combo bath/showers, but it is one of these things that only happen occasionally, for me

it doesn't appear to be caused by other sims in the bathroom, to me it has always happened when the sim showering was the only one in the bathroom.

I don't know when it started, I have only been playing TS3 since 2013. But it has happened to me with just Base Game and Late Night (Sims 3 Starter Pack). I think I first noticed it before Island Paradise was released, I'm not sure.

I assumed it was a general issue, but if me and Menaceman44 are the only people to have noticed it, maybe it's one of these issues that only affect some peoples games. Or possibly we are the only people bothered by it

I don't think it's caused by modded stuff , the only mods I was using at the time were Overwatch and Master Controller.

If it's relevant, the EP's I have are Late Night, Ambitions, Generations, Seasons, World Adventures and Supernatural. I haven't played in the World Adventures World yet

EDIT: World Adventures, not Vacations

I need help with adding it to the game. After I extract the first part, what do I do with the rest of the parts? Do I just put it as a .rar file?

@dlarlQma,
- is the crashing on a NEW Moonlight Falls game? Or from a Save?
- have you done the 3-steps to troubleshoot the game? See my sig for the Game Problem FAQ. The idea is to test on a new Moonlight Falls game with clean folders...what happens when you do that, with the non-multi-part .world file you downloaded from the Google Drive Share?

Hi, thank you for a great fix Unfortunately I have a big problem with this world - after loading save whole neighbourhood is dark almost like in the evening (or like at welcome screen when you start to play this city for the first time). To load it correctly, I have to clean game caches before every time I want to play... so it makes the world almost unplayable :/ Do you have some idea how to fix it / why it is happening?
I downloaded world file from your website (google drive).

Ps. After 4 saves even cache-cleaning doesn't help, it loads dark all time

@donica, do you have a lighting or environment mod or camera tweaks or anything that affects the world environment?
Can you test with putting the original back to see if the issue goes away?

@xxnaomibabeyxx, get the .world file from Google Drive, link on my blog. Which is stated towards the bottom of the Download post.
