Well, waking up this morning to find 19 gift notification emails was like waking up on Christmas morning! We love the objects that you bought us. That was incredibly generous of you! We'd like to make a house for you in Via Discovolo in order to say thank you. We were thinking we could make one on a 30x30 cliff lot. Do you have any requests for the style, color, size, etc? It's our pleasure to do it!
You are both too kind! There are so many beautiful lots in Via Discovolo already that you really don't have to go out of your way to make another. I really do appreciate the offer though. . I am just enjoying this world so much and I can't thank you enough! I would like to send you the new release of the Fast Lane pack next month if you will accept it. Please send me a message with you mailing information and I will pre-order that for you both. I would really like to do something extra special because you so deserve it.
Have a great day and I hope you enjoy the items that I sent.
Well, let us know if you change your mind about a house. It would be our pleasure! The gifts you've bought us were more than thanks enough already, so don't worry about getting more. We are enjoying decorating our sim houses with the new objects. Thanks a ton!
I've been having trouble downloading it as well. It won't install automatically and when I click on it, and try to tell it to open the containing folder. I get no such option. This is really upsetting me, because I would love to play with your world. It looks really good, unfortunately, I can't get it to install, or even find it once I download it. I downloaded the Ambitions version by the way. I hope you can fix it.
Thanks. You're world looks great. I'd really like to play with it. I use Mediafire as well, but so far, I don't think that anyone has had this problem with either of my worlds. Are you sure you are not doing anything wrong? Did you try downloading either of your map files?
Well, I haven't tried downloading the files yet. I'll give that a shot tomorrow. I'm relatively sure I did it correctly, though. I selected export world and found the world file, found the exported file in the "exports" folder in the sims 3 file, and uploaded that to Mediafire. Have you had issues downloading other people's worlds from mediafire? Also, are other people having this problem as well? I have to go to bed now, but I should be able to upload another file tomorrow.
Thanks for fixing it. I just downloaded and installed the version of your world on the exchange. I wasn't able to play with it that much, but already, I think its pretty good. Personally I'm really glad that you came out with the Ambitions version first, since I have the expansion pack and I don't know of too many good maps that use it. I really like the buildings you made, especially the ones specific to Ambitions. It really does look like an Italian village on an Island. The names also look Italian, but I wouldn't be the one to ask since I don't speak the language. I happened to notice that you used a few store objects for your map. I choice to play it without them, since I'm low on cash and sim points. But you should still list the few store objects that you do use here on this thread for the people who choose to download it via Mediafire. Its still a great world by the way. The one beach you created also looks very nice, and so does that drive in movie theater. I've come across a few objects floating in mid air, but only when you tell the game to only show things on the floors beneath them. I don't know how you can fix that, but you could ask around.
Where did you come up with the idea for Via Discovolo by the way?
I'm very glad to hear that it worked. In regards to the store items, I actually thought I didn't use any. Until today when I pretty much only took items away, I'd been playing with the DCCache out so I didn't even have access to store items. If I accidentally did add store items, they should just replace themselves and not be an issue. I've noticed the floating objects too. If you delete them and then put them back in, they should look okay for a while, but they seem to keep returning to that odd floating state. I just used Bing translator for the names, so they should be fairly accurate. The idea came from looking at images of various towns in google images.
Really Bad news. I just realized this. There appears to be something seriously wrong with your Salon. The first household I created for your town has a sim in it who is a stylest, but it won't let him perform his job properly. The Job task bar keeps disappearing. It won't stay visible. It also doesn't seem to count when I did manage to style one of the sims it told me too. I created a new sim and used him to play tested this on another map to see if it had something to do with me, or your map. It appears to be your map, since I didn't get the same with the other sim on the other map. But I'm not one hundred percent sure. If you have not already. You should play test Via Discovolo with a sim as a stylist and see if he/she is able to perform their career properly. I'll alert you, if I come across anymore problems. Sorry to have to tell you this.
I just created a stylist, and so far have been having no issues with him performing his jobs. I'll let you know if I do notice any of the issues that you reported as I continue. Hopefully it will get worked out.
Two things to quickly address here because I should be packing to leave town, lol.
On the subject of the Exchange showing store content needed. This could be a mistake. I put a sim up the other day that uses only base game hair and clothing. When I went to check the upload I was surprised to see that it said an article of clothing was needed from the store. I didn't use that clothing, which can clearly be seen by viewing the pics. I think perhaps they reused a mesh for part of the items they said is needed and it caused the Exchange to flag it as store content.
I do want to add, though, that I looked at the .sims3pack before installing and there are 59 patterns listed as attached to the world. None showed as corrupt content so they are fine but that was more than I cared to install in my game.
I'm glad to hear that about the store items. In regards to patterns, it is possible that it simply connected any patterns that we had in our game to the world, because I believe I tried to avoid custom patterns as well. I may have used a few, but I don't think that many. Sorry about that if it is something I could have avoided!
But! I went to the gardens and god the tomb keys one was called the 'tomb of discovery' and the other 'lodstone key' and neither open the door in the tower tomb???? did i get the right one's?
Love your town! Totally going to download it when I have the time!
Just a thought about those yellow glaring windows... I had that with some glass-paned doors and windows in a red color, but found I could get rid of it by bringing the walls up or down, or in buy mode, turning it from day to night or night to day. It seemed to do the trick... I'm not sure if that's what you meant, but hope it helps!

That makes sense. Thanks, I'll try deleting the floating objects. Even if its a temporary fix, its better than nothing.
