DESCRIPTION
Welcome to Fern Valley! An island populated
by various families and of course, ferns!
Whether it's the coastal shore you're after,
or the hill-top highlife, there will never be
a dull moment in this tiny town.

INFO
Fern Valley is my first Sims 3 world, it was definitely more challenging to make then
it was for custom neighbourhoods in The Sims 2, but I wanted to make a world that
has a few interesting families but also one that didn't lag or take forever to load. This
world is populated, but you can download the empty version as well. (although this
still has all the furnished houses) The 11 families within are all different and have preset
relationships, ages, skills and careers. I also brought back the Trajique family from New Arlestown.
I'm very sad that I wasn't able to create ancestors for each sim, even though it's just a small
detail I think it helps make the world feel more "lived in". But I read that adding ghosts within
CAW can cause major corruption and I didn't want to waste time making all of the ancestors
only for that to happen.
This world has different regions, a coastal beach strip with beach houses inspired by LA,
an aristocracy on a peaked cliff side, a suburban area on the outskirts of the town, the "city"
area - where most of the rabbitholes are, and the poor riverside area, but every region is
decorated appropriately and even the rabbit hole lots are decorated with some additional
touches to help it fit in with the world a bit more.
World Information
Map Size:
Medium (1024x1024)
(Because it's not large, the empty version takes about
10 seconds to load, even with the furnished lots!)
World Type:
Suburb
Population:
Populated
Game Requirements:
Base Game Only!
Number of layers:
4, including the global layer
Terrain Paints:
9 different terrain paints. I didn't want to use many
as I heard it can cause lag.
Routing:
the mountains surrounding the world have camera unroutable, as
I didn't want the player to be able to see from the otherside and ruin the illusion.
Sim unroutable areas are just areas of steepness like cliffs/mountains where a sim
shouldn't be able to just glide down.
Spawners:
I've used every single base game spawner and have a variety of rare,
uncommon and common finds.
Effects:
I've used various base game effects such as seagulls, waves, ocean crashes and buoys.
Lot Information
All lots have been created and furnished by me. There are various starter homes and big
houses to choose from, of course with the empty version you will have access to ALL homes
because there is no families living there. There are also many community lots, I've made sure
each rabbit hole fits the world nicely and has a nicely decorated lot with it too.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
