Neighborhood name changed itself

bootjebootje Posts: 4 New Member
So I just re-installed the sims 3 and booted it up for the first time in years. When I wanted to load a neighborhood I noticed that Sunset Valley was changed into Adventureland? The description still says Sunset Valley tho. It could be something I did myself years ago, but that would be strange because all my old sims 3 files are long gone. Does anyone know how to change it back to Sunset Valley?

Edit: sorry just noticed I put this in the wrong section, sorry!

    Patch 1.69 gives you empty sunset valley world named Adventureland, the original Sunset Valley is still exist in the game, double check it.

    In the same place where you can choose world to live in.

    If somehow the original SV doesnt exist, uninstall/disable from launcher World Adventure first before loading Sunset Valley

    As an aside, I use Adventureland to build stuff for Sunset Valley. The world has only two residents, which is enough to start a game, and then you can build without any lag at all. I then transfer the builds via the library.

    You mean from the menu where you can start a new game or not? Because I don't see anything there

    Yes, that menu. Sunset Valley should always be one of the available options for a new game start. It comes with the base game after all.

    Its world file should be in ...\Origin Games\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds
    or wherever your Origin game (not its documents) is installed. Just search for "Sunset Valley.world"

    "Adventureland.world" is it's own file and can be found at ...\Origin Games\The Sims 3\EP01\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds

    Both worlds cannot be used in a same NRaas Traveler-connected game at the same time, as they use the same ID number (you cannot travel from one to the other, not even via a third world). This does not affect new games though.

    My sunset valley file is there, but the game does not give me the option to select it

    As I said in the previous post, if you want to load up original Sunset Valley, disable the World Adventure expansion pack first since it seems your game has issue showing the original SV. by disabling World Adventure, the Adventureland wont be loaded into the game as it tied to said expansion pack.
