    Thank you, I remember when I first got into The Sims 3, this was the first custom world I downloaded and I loved it. I'm downloading your final version because it seems fitting to the end of era of freedom and exploration anywhere on the map..... Love it and thank you

    I have Appaloosa Plains, Monte Vista, Hidden Springs, and Moonlight Falls but 99% of the time I play Sunset Valley - or kidnap a resident to play in the other towns (to keep the Sunset Valley feel)! The one that started it all is best - in my opinion. :^)

    - The download just finished so I'm going for a spin in the "New SV"
    ...AND WASH YOUR DING-DANG HANDS!

    I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am, I always loved Sunset Valley the most out of all the worlds. This will be perfect with dive lots. Thanks so much.

    Wow, I'm so happy... It's possible to add the file with mediafile ?

    Thanks you by advance !

    First off I want to thank you for finishing this project for us. It is amazing. I have used this world since you first posted it. I have never had any problems or lagging. This time I do have a problem. It's with the cheap beach resort. Every time I try to delete it to put my resort down my game crashes. I have moved and/or replaced MANY lots so far without issue. The crashing only occurs when I try to delete that particular lot. Any suggestions?


    UPDATE: I've figured out how to delete the lot without my game crashing. If you go into the lot and delete everything on the lot, and than return to world view, it'll let you delete it. I hope this helps anyone who may have run into the same issue.

    edit for update!

    I can't wait to DL this world. I've been playing your SV Seasons since you put it in the exchange. I just love this world and now you've made it even better. Thank you for all your hard work and hair pulling moments. :D

    Thanks for sharing this endevor with us, i love sunlit tides and always keep getting back to it and missing all the new/other features from eps and storeworlds :D Have downloaded and installed (had to use the savefile, as it wouldn't download normally for some reason) have renamed the DCBackup-file and put it in the last ep with Oasis Landing instead of the first The Sims 3, shouldn't make a difference i hope ;) am jumping in the game to see what happens, will report later :p Thanks again ;)

    Alas the save-file that i could download from the exchange was corrupt and i was forced to uninstall the world as the game stopped responding :( If you could have the last version as a mediafile i could and would install it in a flash, couse what little i could see of the world it sure looked sweet :) Hope that the exchange would start working correctly again, and as we don't have the exchange with us to this new site i can't say i have much hope for a fix soon :( Happy simming one and all ;)

    I spotted this thread yesterday and this world looked impressive, so although I was never a lover of SV I downloaded it. You did a great job, I love having a world that fits all the ep's . It's funny revisiting SV after almost 5 years!
    If this could be done for Twinbrook I'd be thrilled, very rarely play it now as ran out of space for new content.

    Sofie981, this world downloaded from the Exchange for me yesterday, so it may be worth trying again. It played for several hours without any glitches for me.

    I downloaded it yesterday too. I backed up my Sims 3 folder before installing it just in case.

    When I checked this downloaded world with Custard it showed as corrupted. But since I had backed up my Sims 3 folder I installed it anyway and it ran well for several hours.

    I added most of the lots I have put onto the Exchange plus several store venues and lots that came with EPs and SPs. I saved it all. Then when I was hiring sales people for my savvy seller stores it crashed. I am now launching it again today to see how it goes after clearing caches including world caches.

    I think the way to get an uncorrupted download from the Exchange is to choose the Add to Game option. That is supposed to just download it and let you check it with Custard before installing. But when I clicked Add To Game it started installing it and I wanted to check it first so I had to click Delete in the launcher. Then I downloaded it by choosing Save file and it was corrupted.

    If I have more problems with it today I'll get a copy of my backed up Sims 3 folder and try the Add to Game option and see how that works. It can still be checked with Custard, but it will install automatically before you can do that.

    EDIT: I should add that I do have a gaming laptop with 16 GB RAM and all options set to the highest they will go.

    I think there is something wrong with my internett-access as i can surf and all, but for some reason when i try to search for album-information on win.mediaplayer i get a message saying i am not on the net, and the sims-downloader does not let me download anything only the save-file. I don't get the add to game option at all :( so frustrating Aacckkk Grrr. I think it is because i got a new simcard for my mobile internett so i can use the 4gb net and had to install a different modem and something is wrong somewhere but i am clueless as to what i can do to fix things 8S will have to bite the dust and call support and that will take me the rest of tomorrow and im in the middle of gift-making (knitting and crocheting) i should focus on that as christmas is looming on the horizon lol Toodle pip will try the save file again and just check for corrupt files with Delphy's Sims3Dashboard and try to fix them. It might be that it so big and i have plenty of other content in the game already that made it stop working but after uninstall i have not been able to get the game started at all, i have a backup and allways take a save game and saved sims with me to a new sims3 file. and i checked to see if i needed to install the game again but a new sim3 file was all it needed so i'll try again. It is time for bed so Good night all and LynxAQ hope you like the gift ;)

    I'd like to say that I'm very impressed with the world. I've had no issues with it and I like your attention to detail. Thank you again for your hard work.

    YOU SIR! YOU ARE A GOD!
    I've just spent forever trying to get the stupid dive lots into Sunset Valley and failed miserably each time, googled dive lots for Sunset Valley, come across your wonderful world and now I shall spend forever in the Sims.
    Thank you. So so much.
  • ScrapdashScrapdash Posts: 1,233 Member
    I opted for the Seasons version, not the Final version with dive lots and it's fine. Plays beautifully.

    That is amazing :D Fantastic work!
  • MandelynMandelyn Posts: 4 New Member
    @Karritz all worlds show as corrupted by Custard. If I remember correctly I saw on Crin's site that it is because of their size.
  • CrazycatldyCrazycatldy Posts: 4,588 Member
    I'm back and have to say that I'm very impressed with the final version. I don't like the Pets EP at all but found that if I installed the world with the Pets EP and then uninstalled the EP that it still works great and I was warned that the IP, EP stuff in the world would cause it to be just as laggy as IP but I've been playing it for a long time and it still runs perfect.

    Thank you for sharing this world! I moved my main family back to their native Sunset Valley because of it :D

    Download this world last week and I totally love it! Wish all of the other worlds had revisions.

    Agreed. I'd love to see a larger expanded version of Starlight Shores. Like the world and the sims, but it's very small. Same for Bridgeport, love the world, love the sims, but there's not much room to add items from the store like the casino, the bakery, etc. or even houses.

    Is there a mediafire download link available for the Latest Sunset Valley Second Edition (Sep 2014)? I want to try that one. It won't let me download from exchange. If not thats fine.

    Hi #LinksAQ

    I downloaded SV 2nd Final world Mar 5. I had to "install in game" because save file didn't seem to work. Thank you very much. It is a great expansion of the original EA SV. I have played your two previous version and loved each one. All run without lag and are excellent.

    For those playing this world, I noticed that the dive lots had no skill level set. In IP Rocky Reef requires dive skill 2, Davy Jones' Locker level 4, Mermaids Grotto 7, and Pearl's Deep 9. To be consistent, you might want to set that level on the dive buoys.

    I use SimrodsDiveCaveResetFix mod to fix the "pops to the surface when you enter a dive cave" bug. So I also reset each cave while I was at it and then locked the dive lot. I think the spawners produce more when the lot is locked.
