It has nothing to do with viruses.

You can delete Adventureland if you want. It's part of the installation files and the path to it should be something like this, although there could be some variations and "EP01" might be showing up as The Sims 3 World Adventures.

Chances are it will come right back if you ever do a Repair Game or have to reinstall WA for any reason. And not sure what the cause is of your troubles, but it can't really be the world itself. Again, it's part of the installation and it doesn't have to actually be played in.

Do you know what is likely to be the cause of your problems? The occasional maintenance they do on the Sims 3 store. The last two times they did maintenance on the Sims 3 store I had to remove then redownload/install at least half of my store content after it got uninstalled and kept messing up when I tried reinstalling it. The last maintenance they did replaced The Stones Throw Greenhouse in my purchase history with the Deliciously Indulgent Bakery. Which I'm told by EA they can't do anything about. This makes several of my save games unplayable because I refuse to let it replace the greenhouses in those games. As such until I can repurchase the greenhouse venue I can't play those saves.
What I do is I save some Sunset Valley families WITH their houses to my library. Then I can just delete the Adventureland houses and replace them with the Sunset Valley houses (which include the families) !
It's probably from downloading through Origin then. Must've been an error on EA's part, and it looks like it was just an internal testing world.

@Faerie197 I have all Eps except Supernatural. I have no CC, or mods, only store stuff. only CC free worlds and lots.
Did you install World Adventures from a disk? If so that's why you're not seeing the world according to dozens of posts I've read all over this forum.

@Karritz Yes all my worlds are installed from a disk. I like buying the disks. So I guess that is why I do not have it.. Thanks for clearing this up.

I have had only one stop working and that was long before Simsc3 was released. I don't use the DVD drive often but do have a lot of photos backed up on DVD. I listen to music on them too occasionally. Mostly they just sit waiting for the moment I need to use it.

I have no idea. I suspect it may be buried in Origin somehow. The world's that came with expansions probably aren't in installed worlds folder either.
I fortunately don't have the problem as I don't use Origin. If I did have the problem I'd choose to ignore it.

The world won't be in InstalledWorlds in the user game folder in Documents if this is what you meant, that's only for EA Store and custom worlds. It's in the Program Files, the section that gets installed when you add WA by way of Origin. This is also where you would find the other EP installed worlds (Twinbrook, Bridgeport, Appaloosa, Sims University, Isla Paradiso, etc., the ones that are really meant to be there) each filed away within the program files of the EPs that installed them. I already gave you the path to it. If you remove the world from where it really is and it still shows up as a viable world to play, which again does no harm if you just ignore it, then I would have to say that something strange is happening with your installs or that Origin just keeps putting it back for you.

(the exact path may vary, and "EP01" may be showing up as"EP1" or "The Sims 3 World Adventures," they are all the same thing; this is also where the France, Egypt, and China worlds show up)
You could also look in the GameData\Shared\etc. section of the base game where Sunset Valley should be showing up, but I don't recall others reporting finding Adventureland there.
I still don't know why your store content is disappearing if it was purchased legitimately and installed properly, but it sure seems like you are spending a tremendous amount of time and energy solving the "wrong" problem here.

Good luck with that. I hope you have fun with it. You need mods for patch 1.67 unless they are core mods and NRAAS has a note about that on their core mod. I'm still on patch 1.67 so can't tell you much about the tricks of getting the game to run on 1.69.

Yup it opened maybe 2 times and now it won't open again. I hate this. Back to Sims 4 I guess..
