So is this the reason Sunset Valley has been lagging so badly since I installed Generations? It's been driving me nuts. I tried removing cc, starting a new game in SV, pretty much everything I could think of, but it just wouldn't go back to how it was pre-Gen. But then I tried a custom world and it didn't have any issues, so I guess this is the problem. I'm kind of nervous about messing up my game files and the only thing I've ever done in S3PE is merging .package files, but I guess I'll have to try it. I haven't played the game much since Generations came out at all.

Cool, I'll give this one a go too.

I did go traveling using your other maps (to France for six days) and didn't have any trouble with lag. I'll pop this one in and see how things go.

This is great, I didn't have any issues with the other routing fixes so hopefully I won't have problems with this either :-)

I have few questions, what if I have already save in Sunset Valley? Will This help with lags in my save game, or maybe it helps only with new game? And second question, will this need update, when new patch\EP\SP will be released?

anie_1981,
our Saves only have .nhd files so it would still load the .world files, so yes the changes would be read in your Saves.
My testing has my Saves improved with the changed world, but then again my test Saves are not that big or has much lag to begin with, since I keep creating new test scenarios. But others have reported big improvements in China, with the WA fixes.

I've uninstalled and repatched with each patch that has been released for the past 2 years, to retain the .world files. And each patch has not touched the world file at all. So I believe it is safe to think EA will continue this trend. So, yes, this would be compatible with all patches (past, present and future). But, still - never say never. EA might just delight in proving me a liar.

Thanks for you question, though. I should put that info in the Download thread.

Thank you for Sunset Valley ! Do you know if there is the same issue with Riverview ?

Thanks for all of your routing fixes, Ella!

Please redownload. Fixes updated as per changelog.

The red spot with the intersection fix is on a "Camera non-routable" so you can only see it from Map View. It's kinda faint, in white, but differs from the original of no intersection with the yellow crosswalk (for disconnected intersections). That's the only spot where the roads have no intersection, so the only visual cue for Sunset Valley.

Bridgeport would have more visual spots you can use to verify.

I'm so sorry folks. There is still a learning curve.

I've added the resource to allow you to do the verification up-close - see the 2 new images. With these new resources, you can now zoom in from Map view. So, please redownload.

I've tried twice to download your latest version and the file won't unzip for me, it has an error. I was able to get your latest version of Bridgeport to extract with no problem. Thank you for making all of these fixes!

What is the extractor program you use, bluegenjutsu? If anything other than 7zip, could you try with that?

I use WinRAR and no problem with extracting.

I used IZarc, but I uninstalled it and then installed the 7zip program like you suggested and I still can't open the file. Here is a screenshot of what I see everytime I try to open that file and the last time I downloaded this version of your mod, was this morning, right before I did the install of 7zip. This screenshot is with 7zip installed.

I got this with my google-fu

What browser are you using? Are you using a download manager?
This still happens after a redownload? Perhaps you need to run CCleaner to remove temp files, caches and cookies, re-login and try again?

As others have stated it works for them, my only conclusion is, it is not a widespread download issue or a Site issue. You could also test if you can open another large download from here (like a world) to see if that download can be extracted.

I only had this error with your Sunset World file. I can unzip your other ones and also any other file I download from MTS. I did try downloading your latest Sunset Valley file a few times and it still was giving me that error I posted about. The browser I use is FF and it's version 5.0. I will try deleting all the cache and cookies I have for MTS and see if that fixes the problem.

*Reporting Back: Deleting my cookies for MTS worked. I was able to download the file again and it extracted with no problem. Sorry for the trouble!

Updates!

Was working on Starlight Shores and needed to refresh my memory on what resources affected what parts of the world. Did another pass and whaddyaknow? Found more spots.

Gonna let this version "stew" for a while before I update the .world thread, just in case I need to make corrections.

I'm unsure if this is a problem solely with me or why it would be but after applying these fixes there are several areas in the "downtown" area of Sunset Valley where the grass bleeds through the sidewalk and roads. I can grab screen shots next time I am in the game if you need. It doesn't affect routing or travel, just a visual annoyance.
No idea if you're planning on ever revisiting this just thought I'd mention it.

Yes, being worked on. Fixes not transferable during my testing, hunt for workarounds still ongoing.

Thank you for this! I applied your changes, however I still get quite many times the "stationary sim found" by nraas error trap mod. Yes I do use story progression mod too.
Could this be the problem? It would be great if somehow I could see where they get stuck...

EDIT / UPDATE: This was caused by story progression mod. After removal it is working pretty smooth. I guess it doesn't scale well on multicore cpus

Fixed resources now uploaded.

Please be sure to read the extra notes denoted by in the Description/Overview.

I apologize to the 3 people who downloaded the FixedResources.zip file. A snafu in the renaming on my part and uploaded it by mistake. The FixedRouting.zip now has the correctly name package. Please redownload.

I just noticed this update. I think I've been running with the old version, so I have Sunset Valley.world and Sunset Valley.world.original in my folder. I haven't been taking note if the worlds have been updated, so I'm not sure if Sunset Valley.world is the one I changed way back when, or if it's something new EA slipped in.

A casual google search leads me to believe the world file hasn't been updated. So, I'm pretty sure I can just apply these fixes to Sunset Valley.world.original to be the benefit, yes?

As an experiment, I also ran these over the other version, and it inflated the file to 93.5 MB. Whereas if I just put these with the original, I get 83.5 MB.

So, do tell me if I'm doing it wrong. I'm running with the one that came out at 83.5 (or 85,584 KB as seen in windows explorer.)

I extracted all the files into one and it said that the package is corruped.
I still tested it and loaded a new party on sims 3 and the game told me I can't there is an error.

I will try a third time after downloading again all packges and sorry for my bad english.

@tryguy,
I'd advise to import into the Originals, always.

@coukybee,
you've tried redownloading? Still corrupted?
Logout, clear all browser history + caches + cookies with CCleaner or from the browser itself. Then try again...

Much appreciated!!
