Haha, funny to hear that it made you curious too!
But don't let it take up too much of your time now :-)
Edit:
Could they have been side tables? They have a name like "The Almost Perfect Side Table" and a (high) price of § 2,000 each. The name could be different, because I just translated it literally from Dutch. :-)
Could you put the Lots from the Save file into Beach City or upload them so I can place them? I can't seem to get your save to work even though I have all Expansions and Stuff packs.
Do you use mods?
With a certain mod the save didn't work for me, but without it it works fine. It was just 1 mod that was the problem.
cc can also be a problem, I noticed.
Edit: you were a little earlier with posting
Sometimes you just have to try again and then it works :-)
LOL! I just saw that you posted about 2,5 hours earlier. I probably didn't notice there was a new page after refreshing... :oops:
For me that was KT_StoreFix_Fixes_All.package.
I used this one just to be sure there were no routing issues etc with store objects, but now I'll just have to do without it
I actually renamed my Sims 3 folder, so that with a new game it would regenerate. And in that one I installed Beach City and everyting from the Store I wanted to use. After that I just added things and mods, meanwhile checking if it still worked.
I also did this, because with the old Sims 3 folder my bought Store items wouldn't show in game. Don't know why but they showed up when I made a new Sims 3 folder. This resulted in a much smaller Sims 3 folder, with a working launcher and without a lot of crappy 3rd party cc which I really needed to stop using
You can also take out all mods and add them one by one and check if it works after each one for instance.
According to the list of store items on the exchange page, you used the Youth of Fountain from Hidden Springs. If this true, where did you hide that bad boy? Either A) hid it far too well or I'm just completely missing it's obvious location.
Still loving your world , but my sims have problems getting from the main part (center) to the part with the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 home etc.
They try to go by boat but turn around each time they start and end up on the same land again. And then they do that again and again and...
No problem for the sims I play with, 'cause I found out if they have their own favorite motorcycle (or maybe also car), they'll use that.
But, I noticed that there is never a store employee in the Elixir Store, so I can't buy anything there. Ever... I thought this might have to do with the same routing issue, so I placed a subway station by the road, not too far from the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 Home and another lot. Regular sims come and visit the lot more often now, but still no employee... I tried "resetsim *" but that didn't help either.
Can you help me with this please? Else I have to place an elixir store on the main land, but I really like yours and want to use that one...
I hope you have a solution for me, or anyone else for that matter.
Thanks in advance!
It's EA routing and where the Elixir shop worker lives. It's probably the Sim that's going in circles in the boat- which is EA routing and not a spawner or plant or anything in their way with the water taxis.
What you'll have to do is keep deleting the Elixir Shop Sim until the game places one that can get there.
I just started up Beach City and a Sim showed up for the Elixir shop- it's so weird how they can and can't in different saves.
Yep - It has never been an issue in my game that I have been playing since the final came out. I do know it did that in a previous version when we were testing this world - I think it was version 2 - but have not seen it happen at all anywhere in the finished version. Also EA did lousy planning for routing in their water taxi and any body of water that is not as deep as the taxi seems to want is an issue. I am having an awful time with the water taxi as well as the big motor boats in another world I am testing even in the ocean area because the world was mostly made before IP and apparently the taxi needs deeper water than even a HB needs as it won't even move in this other world. EA's mistake is allowing the water taxi to show up in any water - as even EA's own fish spawner can block the silly thing and create that loop effect the poster reported. But at least in my BC game I am not having issues with the water taxi's as I made sure every household has it's own car, bikes, or motorcycle and it seems I hardly ever see anyone using a water taxi. The subways and other teleports are not always helpful by the way as generally NPCs won't use them so depending on them is also pretty useless seeing it is NPCs that run the registers.

Thanks Rflong, I was just thinking of that myself. I will try resetting the lot and hope another sim will find his way to man the register.
Writin_Reg, I wish the same for my BC... so I can give everyone their own vehicle.
But how about the NPC's? I can't give them vehicles and if they don't use the subways or the llama's (is that what the teleport things are called? I mean the red phoneboots )
Anyway, I'd love to hear from you which steps to take before I start playing the world, so I can prevent these problems.
What world are you testing, WR~ Is it a large world?
I know it's not the fish spawners or the plants in the water in BC.
When testing for the problems of taxis after the release I removed all the plants, all the fish, all the plants between the lake and the swamp area to test- It didn't matter if nothing was in the way, if the game engine was allowed to decide how to send a Sim water taxis from the lake to the swamp it would do the the circle. Nothing in the way, no problems blocking it.
If I clicked on the land, or the road or anything besides the lot icon for a Sim to travel to the Swamp from the lake- no problem. The taxis took them right to that spot.
It isn't the fish spawners or plants because the taxis have no problems in Legacy Island 3 going into that small swamp area with plants and fish spawners all over. It's the game engine.
I watched a Taxi in SN world go in circles at the shore- Nothing in the way.
Yeah - It's Quailhogs new one - Huntsborough. It's large - spread out. I already wrote what was happening with the water taxi in his thread. It's a real headache... otherwise the world itself plays mint. But he has a floating junk yard and so far my sim won't go there - which is a pain seeing I picked a self employed inventor and skin diver to test with. Figures.
Renato - I would just place the needed vehicles at every empty house. Then the ones that have sims move each household to the clip board - add a couple of modes of transport and move them back in. If they have little extra money just add bikes or the cheap skooters.

Still loving Beach City.I just adore the farming areas I usually prefer suburbs or city but they just have some much charm in this world. I am working on a third update to Hang 10. Really loving it but I am going to wait until the world of wonder set to upload the new version because I want to place the real merry go round and add the cotton candy and popcorn machines.
Thanks for posting about Huntsborough Writin_Reg ill have to check it out.
Hi rflong, I'm loving your world a lot ^_^. I just wanted to point out that as is, the masolem is inaccessible. For the first time my sim tried to go into it to collect the dead, and he couldn't. Not enough for a reupload, but it would probably work to just put it in known issues .
It's such a shame too, as it was a really unique idea how you made the graveyard. Not sure what the best way is to fix it, other than to make the building separate, split in half.

Hi,
Thanks for letting me know.
I know my Sim was able to enter the building but I didn't clean the dead while testing it. My bad.
After weeks of getting a new computer built and sorting out glitches and re-downloading everything yet again I was finally able to re download Beach City which I adore to play in but I also wanted to thank you for your Legacy 3 world which I downloaded recently and play with another favourite family of mine.
I also just found your haunted valley world and am about to download that as well as it looks gorgeous will probably replace midnight hollow-)
I spent ages looking around trying to thank you on separate forums for each world but it has not worked out that way so as I bookmarked this forum a while back I hope you do not mind me mentioning multiple worlds you created and wanted to thank you for.
As I am not a builder in any shape or form I am in total awe of your obvious talent and your willingness to share as everything you create really enhances the enjoyment of my gameplay immensely and for that I am very grateful.

I might install all the stuff I think it might be and open up some others to try and find out what they were. I've very curious now.
But don't let it take up too much of your time now :-)

Such a shame of this beautiful world!
Honestly, I am kinda glad there is a possibility to return them
It is so detailed and wonderfully made. I haven't had a single glitch, it is playing perfectly.
You are such a talented builder - pat yourself on the back
@RenateD- Thanks!
Lol~ Saraphine will do that. She loves pretty things.
@gypsy54- Thanks! I'm so glad you like it.
It's hiding in the middle campgrounds. -it better be.
Still loving your world

Thanks, glad to know your enjoying it.
I have updated it to work with the new carnival content (and just some overall cosmetic improvements.)
Here is the download link for the new park: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8259930
Rflong7 If you could update the download link on the front page that would be amazing.
Have lots of pictures of it posted on the coaster thread here along with other amazing amusement parks people are working on.: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/465/729564.page#12081435
