Hi @ciane !
I make a new folder named IPrdy.sims 3 in my sims 3 saves folders, put the 4 files in it and the saves doesn't appear in my game ? I don't know what I'm doing wrong !
Hmmm, maybe you didn't delete the scriptcache? Sometimes, when you add new stuff, the game doesn't recognize it right away. So, you delete those few cache files that regenerate and then the game "sees" the new stuff.
One other thing you can try is to start a new game and save it and then copy the .nhd file in to overwrite the other one. Then, you can call up that save when load your game next.
@jessica645739@ciane - I don't know if this helps or not, but in my game the save folders have to be named ending in .sims3 (no space). Not .sims 3 (with space) as jessica typed out.

@jessica645739 - I recommended going into the beach house on stilts where the two single guys live and deleting the football in one of the bedrooms because the guys will want to play with that football and not have enough room; but otherwise, it's good to go.
Thank you so much for this saves ! It must have been a lot of work ! You are a blessing for lazy players like me who don't want to do everything themselves
Your welcome. It was really no trouble at all for me to share what I'd done in my game, except I had to go back again and do it without all the EPs and store stuff. (I should have done it that way in the beginning, and would have if I'd thought of sharing my file first.)
If i want to add the new ip world you modified, can i just copy the nhd file over to my existing saves so i can travel there using nraas traveller or do i have to do anything specific on my end?
@izecson - Yes, you can just copy in the .nhd file into a save file. Just call up a new game in IP and save that and then quit. You'll be able to copy in the .nhd file to overwrite the other one. OR you can put the folder into your saves folder with all four files, and you don't have to first load and save a game to add the .nhd file. (I've never used the traveller mod, so I'm not sure how that works.)
You would only want to do this for an ongoing game whose sims have never traveled to Isla Paradiso before. If there's already an existing Isla nhd file, then the TravelDB will have links to it and swapping the nhd out with a different one will cause all kinds of bizarre issues.

Oh dayum, my sims did travel to isla paradiso but It was a long time ago and have since deleted the nhd files, guess im out of luck.
That should help tremendously with lag. Note that it doesn't address all the other fixes, but WOW! That's huge. You might check it out and add it to your mods/packages folder.
(Double clicking on the zip file after downloading should give you a package folder that you can copy into your sims 3/mods/packages folder.)

YES! I have been playing there for a whole sim week now using that mod and have not had lag once (beyond normal mod stuff). I love it!

I have the IP world fix mod, do i need this on too to spot it lagging more? Thanks
YES! The world fix is for the routing issues only. It might have fixed a few other things too that were easy to fix like problems getting to sims doors and bath tubs. BUT this mod keeps non-playable sims from just deciding to move their houseboats. All those houseboats moving locations can cause serious lag. This still lets you move the houseboats of the sims you are playing, so it's a fantastic mod! And it won't compete with any other mods that I know of, for I don't know another that has addressed this issue before.
Updated Update:
Make a new folder in your Sims 3 Saves folder called IPonlyRdy.sims3 and copy these four files into it: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/hh78ai99s6a1y/IPonlyRdy
When you next load up your game, it should be your first option there with other saved games. I tried to only do the bare minimum changes, but I wanted to avoid lag in your game; so you do get some of my redone EA homes. I did redo them so they only need IP - no other EPs or SPs or any store stuff.
I went to that first link in your Original Post. When I clicked on all files to download, it told me I had to upgrade to premium, so I backed out of that. I went to download each file individually. The first file told me to tick a box to show I'm not a bot. I did. Then it told me to click Allow if I'm not a bot, I did. When I downloaded the second file, the IPonly one, my computer immediately told me my computer had been infected by it and now I'm getting pop ups with a McCafee, but I don't have McCafee, telling me my computer is under attack.
Simmers beware of this.
It turns out the thing that brought on the "click allow to show you're not a bot" was an advertiser. Clicking allow then bombarded me with ads saying I was infected, to continue payment, click to install and activate McAfee ... it got really serious, and escalated. My Webroot adviser helped me to realise it was an advertiser and helped me to find it in my browser settings to remove from allow and to block.
So, @ciane, one of your advertiser agents/spaces includes this invasive and ill-intentioned, nasty ad for "vantsolutions". Your visitors might be advised to go about the page slowly and carefully, to avoid clicking on unscrupulous ads.

@DivinylsFan - You always have to careful when downloading from sites that offer advertisements too, but that is how to keep things free.
I clicked on the first link in my first post and clicked on the .nhd file to download. Under the DOWNLOAD button, I saw this notice:
The download button will start your download and show a message from our advertisers in a new window.
I use Brave for a browser and I don't allow ads, so all I got was the download - no ad in another window popped up.
Any of the big sites that you can download from can offer misleading clicks. I usually right click and see what the download link url really is.
I did also upload here, so you shouldn't have any problems with misleading clicks:
I'm replying to this thread after the announcement that the Sims Forums will be migrated to EA Forums and only threads with activity after October 2022 will be migrated. I see you posted last month @ciane but I'm making double-triple-quadruple sure this thread heads over there.
Actually a few others nominated it and I made sure I had an account on AHQ. It's in the nominated threads and should be ported over. But thanks for the heads up and desire to see the thread saved @DellaLuna and @emorrill! I appreciate it.

So if I'm right, this save file is up to date ? All the changes are included or you make other changes afterwards ?
