Use Mediafire or a Cloud hosting site to share uploaded worlds if you can't get them on the Exchange. You can still post picture of your world and links to them here.
For a long time not many were able to upload worlds to the Exchange and used hosting sites.
I had a world I uploaded get removed from the Exchange once and have no idea how it got removed unless the exchange started acting up and deleting uploads for no reason.I also upload to Mediafire so there's the option to include festival lots for those with Seasons installed even if the world dosen't require Seasons to play it.I noticed Gibsons listed in the build it yourself section which is where it should be and the other place would be base game since it was built to only need the base game.It was my first attempted CAW project.
@Shadoza2 I love your idea of a world on boats it looks awesome, about the library or other venues on boats, they work fine, I made a recreation of Suvadiva Resort (Nilxis) and I put a lot of Rabbitholes and venues on boats like the school and the library and it is working great
I can play at last TS2 TS3 and TS4 So great that toddlers are here!!!
I've had an issues with Mediafire taking my Gibsons file down because I was accused of uploading a bunch of files I never even uploaded and only one file in the list they sent me even had the same name as mine while the rest weren't even mine.This might've affected all of the accounts or just a large number.I have to post a new link to download Gibsons and it includes Winfield and Oak Leaf worlds in the folder.Gibsons only needs the base game while the other two need World Adventures for the bridges to appear.All of them are empty and the link should be attatched to Gibsons to replace the broken one.Here's the new link for getting Gibsons from WORLDS BUNDLE
@TadOlson , Me too. I started a thread out in the CAW forum to see who else was effected and if anyone knows what is going on. My files were out there for a year with no problems.
@RRArtie - This looks like the site was either hacked and upload records were altered or it got infected by a virus and that changed the records.It looks like it's a big problem with a lot of MediaFire accounts and affects a lot of us.
My database is broken on TS3 site. Tech Sup says that I have to uninstall all the game discs and reinstall each one, starting the game after each level before the database will work again. That sounds insane. Why would I need to reinstall my game for their database to be repaired.
--- I can upload some to my TS3 page. but whether they work or not is never certain. Sometimes they work until I upload something else to the exchange, then the old things disappear. All other the same, I cannot provide download links for my worlds. Kind of sad for me. But...I still enjoy looking at the worlds others created.
They must have completely abandoned Sims 3. Do they still offer tech support and updates? With all the money we have invested, seems logical to keep that up. I have Sims 4 but don't really play it. I am a die hard Sims 3 fan.
maybe yall can help me. i had found a world , i cant remember the name of it or who made the world. but i didnt write it down, so i cant remember where i found it. what i can remember about it is that had midnight hollow , moonlight falls and the oak moss and the other swamp looking tree ( starts with a b) in it . it was a creepy world, the way it was styled it would have made a great halloween world. im still looking , does anyone have any suggestions , or know of something similar. please and thank you.
@MrCrumplebottom1 Hiya Mr. C, are you still around? I know, I know, long time I've been gone but I wanted to give you a bit of feedback on a world that's listed here. It's the Harvest Moon world by Minimelo649. Has there been an update to the 2.0 version in the past years? Because if there hasn't that world is so broken it's beyond belief. It has routing problems up the wazoo.

I heard from another poster on here that there's a fixed version of Island Paradise. Could anyone tell me what the name of it is and whether it's located on here or another website. Thanks in advance.

@Ciane has created an excellent version of Island Paradise.
Yep, check my siggie for the IP link and then that thread link will take you to 4shared or mediafire where you'll copy 4 files into a folder you create in your save folder in your sims 3 (documents) folder. It does NOT replace your IP world, but it offers my fix as a save you can select on the main menu. There are 2 versions. One is IP only and the other includes other EPs/SPs and store content.
Basically, I moved all house boaters onto land and redid problem spots, making boat lots "no visitors allowed" to avoid routing problems of sims you aren't playing. And I make the resorts into plain old community lots to avoid worker NPCs from spawning.
Read through the thread and you'll get the idea of what I did to make it playable for me.

I thought I'd let you know since the site has been locked and moved over to this site, all your links for world information are wrong. You'll have to go through them all and fix them.
