Is there a way to do it? I want my world to have the city tag in the load up screen as well as the city ambient noises, tons of taxis driving around and the food truck. How can I make my world an official city like Bridgeport?
I guess the degree of difficulty depends on how technical you are (I am absolutely not technical), but here are the directions by Simsample from Mod the Sims:

I'm very interested in this mod, and I've been looking at it for a while now. But I can't make head nor tail of it... anyone explain it to me in English?

I'm still making my way through it too actually. There is a line of code that needs to be placed in a specific folder but there seems to be some debate about what changes what (i.e. map music, city icon, townies ect.) so I'm waiting and reading to make sure I understand exactly what'll happen before I do anything.
And thanks for the interest in my world Simsgal, it can be found with the link below. It's not done but I'm still trying to think of a name for it.
Okay, now you've downloaded s3pe, and the City Resource File. Put it where you can find it. I made a folder for it and put it on my desktop.
Open up S3pe, click on "File" on the bar at the top, click on "Open", and find your .world file you wish to add these files to.
They should be in;
Documents,
Electronic Arts,
Sims 3 Create a World
UserToolData
Worlds
It should look like this, I'm opening up my WhovilleBeta;
Make sure you click the "All Files" option, or your .world file won't show up.
Once you open it up, this is what it will look like;
Now, just click on the "Resource" tab on the top bar, Click on "import", and "from file". Find your City Resource File, and click on it;
Now just highlight the file, and click "Open". This is what you'll get. Just click "import", and then click on "file" on the top bar again, and "Save".

WOW! Thanks Auntielynds! I see it in English, and I understand
I'm gonna try this right away, and see if I come out successful.
And thanks to Simsample - for being the genius that he is
Put it wherever you like, Conorsim - your desktop would be a good place. Then when you go to resource>Import>From file, you need to go to where you saved the resource (i.e, the desktop).
Thanks for the compliment- but I'm neither a genius or a 'he'! I just used a process of elimination to find this.
I will choose a path that's clear- I will choose free will RUSH My Worlds

Okay, thanks. Wait.. you're not a 'he', let alone a genius..? :shock: Sorry Ms. Simsample :oops:
Wait.. I'm new to Firefox (I did have IE) so when I download the file it's like this:
I can't "copy" and "paste" it to the desktop.. it's just.. there? And nowhere? Because I can't locate it when I choose import...
I'm sure there's a solution, I'm just too stupid to realise :oops: Sorry.
I have a Town!!! It is so easy thanks to auntielynds and simsample, and it was bingo bango bongo
But the link for the resource file didn't work for me so I got it from Mod The Sims

That window is just the Firefox download window (a list of what you have downloaded).
If you can't find the file, go to Tools> Options> General in Firefox, and it will show you the location which it downloads to.

Thanks a million, Simsample. I'm pretty sure the whole thing worked and I'm gonna try it out in-game. And I don't care what you say - you are a genius
