    I'll scan it for sure. But pretty sure there isn't anything that isn't from EA, not in the town itself anyways, but I'll scan recent downloads that include sims as well since some of them were included with a house. But I separated the sims from their homes, so you'd just get the world w/ no sims in it yet. I was gone the past couple days for Christmas, and I probably won't be able to get it up tonight, maybe tomorrow, but for sure the next day at the latest. Thanks for volunteering!

    There shouldn't be any CC except for patterns, unless I've forgotten about something. :D

    Hey there!

    I forgot, I have the Geico Cavemen as a household:

    http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=580237

    I made them a long time ago, so they may need some updating of traits.

    I'm not that good at building, but I may be able to make you Sims, if you post pics and what traits you want.

    Yeah, I don't have that yet, it's one of the projects that someone said they would make. But that was a LONG time ago by now...so, I'm not too hopeful that it's getting done. If it does though, I'll post the DL link on the first page. Everything that I currently have is linked in the OP

    @Snowmoon, I'll take a look at the cavemen, that would be great to have them :D. Always liked their commercials, haha. As for other sims, I've really left it up to whoever is making them, let them choose their favorite characters. However, houses that currently have no residents include, the Bates Hotel/manor (so, that's Norman Bates and his dead mother, but she may have to be living for transferability purposes since ghosts don't transfer w/ worlds), and The Addams family (the one I tried to download wouldn't install.) If you'd rather make someone else, that's fine too, if they don't have a house with them I will just put them in one of my own creations. They can have whatever traits seem most appropriate for them, it doesn't matter much to me. For the Addams family, Marticia is probably a green thumb, Gomez is a romantic and great kisser, Fester is probably handy (even tho he breaks things, he loves tinkering I think), Wednesday is evil, her brother lazy (i can't recall his name right now...), Lurch is neat.

    Those are just examples tho.

    I am going to upload the world tonight for a BETA. So, get out your notepads and start writing down a fix-it list. :D. I'll go work on getting it up on the exchange then link it here.

    just a heads up when you upload your town make sure no other computers are connected to internet or using internet besides when you upload to get the fastest speed, debating on how fast your internet is, it took me a few days before it actually got upload because it kept giving me an error and my brother said that it was due to a slow connection

    I only have just the one computer, well on that is. My laptop has wireless, but that's not turned on...or synced w/ my desktop yet, too lazy, haha. I'm on my third attempt though and I keep getting the Network Error. I was just searching around for solutions to that, someone mentioned Cheat Engine... but their site doesn't have directions on how to use that for uploading worlds, just other stuff that I won't mention because some of it is clearly illegal...or at least one of the requests was anyways. :/

    Just a bump because I forgot to update the threads title to mention the availability of a BETA download.

    I created the Addams Family for you. I went off the traditional show instead of the "recent" (god, almost 20 years now) movies.

    I forgot to take a screenshot of Lurch and Wednesday and Pugsleys' pics won't upload. Here is the family link:

    the test went very well! i didn't find anything major wrong, the dirt sidewalks may have not been connected in a few places but then again it mite just be how they were made, all the bridges worked, all the lots were accessible, it was a little slow at first but then it sped up, I really like this town its really cool my favorite spot being the one in the picture above

    Excellent! I'll double check the sidewalks in CAW and see if any are not connected, that happened to some of the roads and bridges earlier, but I fixed that. The slowness at first may have been the spawners loading, I used to have a ton of them but reduced them by about half and it seemed to improve the initial lag a lot. The same thing would happen when I tested it, it would be slow at first w/ no spawners showing with the collection helper, but after a sim day or two, things were running much smoother and the spawners visible on the map view w/ the collection helper. Thank you for volunteering to test it out, let me know if you come across any other problems should you choose to continue playing it for a while.

    @snowmoon, they look awesome! I'll try them out today if the exchange is still cooperating. :D

    The Addams family is up and running, there was a bit of a hitch getting them to download, but they did, and they seem to be working perfectly in my test game.

    Elmawa >> Great to hear. I used a bit of store content and I am glad you are happy with their looks. I'll see what I can do about Mr. Bates, but that will be a bit later on. Glad I can help out!

    Bump, updated the OP.

    Also, just some news from the hood. It's prepopulated now, I've played two households so far, Summers and Halliwell. Piper just gave birth to twin girls (couldn't have been boys eh? Wyatt and Chris? Nope we got Payton and Philicia). In the Summers house Buffy kicked Spikes hiney, lol. I thought it was pretty funny. I have pics of the Buffy vs Spike, but I have not uploaded them yet. Will get those tomorrow probably.

    I wish I could get Angel to work, but the household I downloaded him with won't install :(

    How many families are in the world?
  • ElmawaElmawa Posts: 2,281 Member
    edited January 2011
    Hi brittani, all the families listed except the killers from tv will be in the world, I didn't get a lot of submissions, so there are only that handful. I'm not going to include the killer family because they have quite a bit of CC, and I've been scolded against having that in my world. But I will have the link available for anyone who wants to add them on their own. I also split up the Buffy gang so that Xander and Anya are a couple, Giles is on his own, then Buffy, Spike, Willow, and Tara are all living in Buffy's house. Oh, and Faith is in her own house also. Also split up the men from the Halliwell family, the girls live together but the two guys have their own homes. This helped fill out the town a bit more, made it so that there are more filled houses :D

    Sorry I was so late in responding to you. :)
