ASPEN ISLANDS

DESCRIPTION

Aspen Islands are situated far from Sunset Valley shores, it is a group of four islands with moderate climate and abundance of aspen and birch trees. They were first inhabited at the beginning of the 20th century. Most dwellers were fishermen and retired sailors, as island's waters had plenty of fish and its sloping banks enough taverns and beaches. Originally, only one island of four was colonized, its lands supplied sims with enough produce and fish. With the inflow of new residents new islands had to be occupied, thus the industrial and later suburbian part of the isles were connected to main one with bridges and roads. Today it is a balanced and peaceful community with laidback style of life.

INSTALLATION
  • Make a folder somewhere you can easily find
  • Download all the files to the folder you just created
  • Right click on the first file and select "Extract here..."(WinRar option)
  • When prompted, choose the next file by finding it the folder they are in and manually selecting the next file asked for
  • Repeat the procedure until all files are extracted
  • Copy the sims3pack and move it to your documents/Electronic arts/Sims 3/Downloads
  • Install as a regular sims3pack file

NOTES AND KNOWN ISSUES
  • First ten comments show examples of community and residential lots
  • Transportation time may be an issue for cheap cars and taxis, use subways, disguised as ferry stations.
  • When you start a new game save it and exit to the main menu so that fog emitters show proper effects.
  • Effects in clubs are randomized and there's nothing I can do about it, you should set them yourself.
  • Give couple of days for spawners to spawn.
  • Ghosts tend to drive around instead of staying quietly in their graves.
