Update 1/24/2023
Here's the new world that I'm currently working on. Here is an image of what the world looks like so far.
Harvest Township includes a community lot by CJ plays call the Neo Flame. It is a fancy futuristic restaurant that I think you guys will enjoy. I want to thank him again for creating it. The world uses all expansion packs plus High End Loft Stuff and 70s, 80s, and 90s stuff. In addition, it requires some free store content, but no premium content or CC.
1. No Tricks, Just Treats
2. Harvest Bounty
3. The Sims Strike Back
4. In the Dawn of Sims
5. Happy Halloween Gory Goodies
6. Modern HDTV by Webbsta Industries
7. Eye of the Bolder
8. More Holiday Presents
9. Honeycomb Bookshelf
10. Happy Valentines Day 2014
11. Happy Holiday Presents
12. More Halloween Treats
13. Gifts for the Holidays
14. Explorers Loot
15. Halloween Treats
The download link for the 2nd beta and the first saved game file is in the first comment bellow. They will be separate links when I release the final version, but for now, you have to download them together for playtesting purposes.

You will need to download my official saved game file in order to encounter my sims

Sorry about the delay. I wanted to include aliens in the official saved game file, I was hoping I could put an alien in my saved sims folder in CAS, but unfortunately it does save their alien powers, and just treats them as normal sims. Obviously that's not going to work, so It will take a bit longer than I was hoping. Now I know that I could just release the second beta without the saved game file, but I don't want it to come out too long before it. I will keep you guys posted. Again, sorry about the delay
Once again, here's the download link for the second beta, and the first saved game file. The requirements are listed at the top of the page. https://www.mediafire.com/file/iihm3zo7zdpk3ri/Harvest_Township_Beta_B.zip/file
If you find anything wrong with this, or anything else you would like me to improve, please let me know. Make sure you play test the world with the save game file. The Sims should be a lot less wealthy in the final version. Also, I know that all the adult aliens have a very high logic and handiness skill. That is not on purpose but in order for me to include them, I needed to "capture them," and add them to the different households, because I can't make them in CAS.
Here are some new screenshots of the world. Note that these may not perfectly reflect future versions of Harvest Township, but for now they should give you an excellent idea as to what the world is like. Also note that many, but not all of them include sims that you can only find in the official saved game file, if you have already played with that, maybe you will recognize some of them
The swimming pool by the potion shop
The outside of the bot shop
Yes, I included aliens and Plumbots in the saved game file, and it makes sense because its a future sci fi world
The inside of Tomboy Bowling
The proprietor at Old Times Park. He probably won't be a part of the next saved game file as he was randomly generated, but he still looks good there, even with his odd hat that's a bit strange and out of place
The Park near the school in the "historic" part of town
The dog park
The Museum of the 20th and 21st Century
Inside the dance club
This robot is scared of humans. Maybe he shouldn't be working at this department store
Well, if he can handle it...
A Simfest at Old Times Park
Here is the lot CJplays made for me. Its a restaurant called The Neo Flame. He did an excellent job with it!
Here's the downstairs with one of the waiters patiently waiting for customers to arrive
Here's the upstairs, where there is another waiter for some reason
This is The Neo Flame later in the evening after some of my sims went there. Looks like they're having fun
I feel weird making suggestions and everything, because worldbuilding is all about personal preferences and playstyles, IMO.
Like, for me, personally, I would try playing different with interior lighting colors more to give more "atmosphere" to lots so they each have a certain feel. For instance, the nightclub could have red and green lights. The bowling venue could have blue and green lights.
Another thing (and again, this is a preference thing) is adding a few fountains here and there to give your most important lots more emphasis. I don't mean fountain objects that you place in Buy Mode, but the ones from Build Mode.
Okay. I'm a bit disappointed, but I guess that's just the way that it is. I was hoping that you were one of the play testers. Regardless, thanks for your feedback

Also, another tip--routing issues tend to be caused by routing paint that has holes in it. So, what you can do is scan your routing paint to make sure there aren't any gaps. What will help is to turn off visibility for "flora" and objects in CAW.
I really regret not being able to play test your world, but Island Paradise threw me for such a loop in terms of routing, objects, etc. that I'm still trying to figure out that EP (in terms of worldbuilding) before installing ITF, SN and UN. I'm literally trying to crank out the rest of my worlds so I can finally start moving onto the other EPs.
Thanks for the suggestions. I don't use mods, because I feel safer without them, but thanks anyway. I knew about the issue with the gaps and I always scan my worlds for them.
Next version coming sometime in early March, unless there's something seriously wrong with it, or something you would like me to change that will require more play testing, it should be the final version. In the meantime, please keep playtesting. The next version will include an additional house and one more household in the saved game file
Final Version coming March 8th. Hope you guys enjoy it. I have bee working very hard on this world
Horrible news. It looks like EA is forcing to change to the new EA App even through I specifically shut off all automatic updates. That means that even if you find something seriously wrong with Harvest Township I might not be able to fix it, unless its something that I can fix outside of Edit In Game. I also won't be able to make any further changes to the map that have to be made in Edit in Game. So sorry everyone. I should still be able release the final version on March 8th, since it is working okay for me. Hopefully people will really like it, because it may well be my last Sims 3 world and unless EA gets around to making a version of Create a World for EA App, it might be among the last custom worlds made for the Sims 3

Someone at MTS also made another good suggestion--purchase disc copies. You'd go down to 1.67 instead if 1.69, so remember that you'd have to switch to the 1.67 version of CAW if you go this route. Apparently, this issue doesn't impact disc copies, just digital copies.
I hope it works 🤗
Great news! I got Origin working again so Harvest Township is back on track! Thank you @ts1depot! I was able to get it to work
The final version of Harvest Township is here! Check it out!

You will need the official saved game file if you would like to encounter my sims, don't forget to move it to your saves folder after you install the map.
