Don't worry re the house I have simply replaced mine with another lot and it's fine. I have just started sending my single Sims around the map one at time and so far travel time frames have not been excessive I will try tomorrow with groups and test.
In the meantime I found a wonderful ice skating park which I feel is going to look stunning in winter
@Rflong7 Correct, service npc's won't spawn in a roadless world. I have seen the Uni mascot spawn near an empty house then blink out. But they will spawn if there is some kind of paved road even if the road is a few inches long.
As per your picture, it looks like your fire men are near a road. My sims lived in the fairy section.
I was just in-game (A small world I made myself). Its winter and my sims family is in their winter log cabin high on a mountain, Its a long, long winding path to the house. I ordered pizza and watched the delivery. The pizza guy stopped at the entrance to the path and stood there. I had to use the teleport cheat to get the pizza. lol
@SPARKY1922 ITF robots and service npc's use the tram all the time, its a form of travel. I know a few people have tried to copy the code for the trams so it could be used in player made worlds. Not sure if they ever got it to work. Love the Skating park. Where do you get all those nice builds?
Thanks SPARKY1922 I just love the lots. They look great and match with the theme of the world. I am like you said in a previous post, I'm not a builder by no means and I really appreciate the ones who have the talent. I have always loved Rflongs worlds and have quite a few of them. This one is going to be as great as all the rest and I can't wait to see what else she doe's with it. But the lots you have contributed are great as well.
I came across details on how to use the university rabbit hole rugs today and some further info on setting up a university in any world so as you expressed an interest in an earlier post for adding this functionality to this world I am posting you the links. I have downloaded everything and will try it out later when I have the world to my liking..
I forgot to mention you may require certain Nrass mods as well but as I have most of them i forgot to mention it so scroll down halfway for more info on the above link and Nrass mods can be found on the following link..
It takes me a long time to get my worlds how I like them and then after I am satisfied with everything I save a folder with all the simpak files I have used and a document detailing the addresses where I have placed them this way if I have to start again it's never a big problem..
When I post pics of lots I don't always remember where they come from but if you see something I post and you like it don't hesitate to ask me as I will always try and find the lot for you and post the link.
I love this world so my ocd is taking over making sure each area of the map suits what style of gameplay I like
I would have loved the overhead tram system from ITF to work in other worlds but as you say it appears to be problematic from what I have read anyway so I have not bothered trying..
If I am searching for a particular lot I save the downloaded simpak with a pic of the lot and save/back it up to the correct folder/world I have used it in this way if I lose a world for some reason all I have to do is re-download my lots in order to the correct addresses. This world has me downloading and adding lots then changing them and adding something else because I want each area to be in theme and perfect for me. I always wanted a skating park/pond as opposed to a ring especially in older style worlds and finally I managed to find that one yesterday. Its not quite the right size but I am going to adapt it as sort of the town square and let the snow fall and the skating begin
Just to report I have sent my sim couple all over the map today and not experienced any problems or overly lengthy travel times..they have been using the telephone boxes and brooms when on roads as I am not giving fairies cars-)
I have decided to use the following multi lot and make it a sort of entertainment and market garden centre in the farming area of the map..
and I think in the pirate area the following roller-coaster with a canal looks good in the town square
I also added a church to the vampire square as I like to call it-)
also I think you mentioned possibly making the pirate area roadless as well if so i would support that
Today I decided to work on the fairy area..I added a new very colourful house and a small community pool
I added a cute πΈπΈπΈπΈ caravan lot..
I added a children's playground jazzed up with some colourful trees
I removed the park in the main pirate area and added a medieval style shopping village lot which I think I am going to keep as it's so cute and in-keeping with the theme
Thanks so much reporting back with routing information and for sharing the lots you found. @SPARKY1922
They're Awesome and make me feel kinda not quite up to it. I will take them as a kick to get back to building this weekend though.
@Rflong7 Is it possible to add a 64x64 lot to the fairy area? I just downloaded the "Supernatural Fusion' DNA request by @SPARKY1922, built by @soocoolsim. It is beautiful and would fit perfectly in that area.
What do you mean you are not up to it? Up to what building? as if so I want to say don't be silly as you already made such a wonderful world to play in and you separated the different areas and added certain looking lots in each area which has been a really good base to start with so I am not sure what the worry is as even in EA's own worlds a lot of players still bulldoze most of their lots and add others more to our liking that's part of the fun of it making it our own
wondering if you can tell me where i find the rabbit hole lots in 3 and how I place them? is there some cheat involved?
I agree my request turned out wonderfully well and when I made the request it was for moonlight falls which has a lot of 64x64 lots. I have placed this stunning lot in what I call the magical area close by to that fantastic Elixir lot and I think it looks wonderful nestled in the trees there. I intend to play with several different types of super naturals in this world in that house..
I am also going to add 2 unicorns to the household as shown below also made by soocoolsim..
Rflong I agree with everything Sparky1922 said because without you and all the others who create these fantastic worlds it wouldn't be as much fun to play. I hope you continue because to me this one is special because I love supernaturals. And Sparky1922 I don't know where you find so many great builds, I would love to have the links to the skating park and the two multi lots in the farming area and the village square shops. All the ones you added in the fairy area are gorgeous as well but I don't want you to think I'm asking for to much. You say you don't build but you do have and eye for what fits and matches up.
OMG... This world is beautiful. I hope you have a list of the items needed to run this world because I'm certainly going to download this one when its ready. Guess it looks like I'm going to have to "buy the store". ~sigh~.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
I don't mind you asking at all many players have helped me on these threads so if I can help anyone along the way I will.. Just so you know all the lots I use and post are CC free however if I post a link to a lot that does have CC I will mention it in the description.
The Christmas skating park by creator ihelen in the vampire square as follows:
The second lot I think you are referring to is the canal roller coaster lot which was placed on the 60x60 lot prior to the village shops being put there instead.. hope this is not getting too confusing lol
Cascade Falls roller-coaster and gondola park on a 60x60 lot by creator catdog123
The thing I am stuck on now is the 64x30 lot in the centre of the fairy circle and although I managed to find a lot that would fit into that space I would prefer it be a fairy/elvin style park so when sims are looking out of their windows there is something beautiful and fairy like to look at-) I have downloaded 40 garden and fairy/elvin CC pieces today to try have a go at making the park myself but the thought sends me into a spin because honestly I am so bad at building anything-) have you had any thoughts for that lot at all I would be interested to know
In future when I post pics I will try to remember to post links to the lot just in case you are interested.. (but I may not always remember so forgive me those times-)
I have been playing for a few days in this world now and have not experienced any problems so far apart from one sim not being able to access an upstairs bathroom in a house in the fairy area so i deleted it and replaced it with another one and everything works fine again. As far as i am concerned I am not testing anymore I would be happy to keep the world as it is but I did read at the start of the thread all xp's are required and there is a lot of store content but no other CC as rflong7 usually makes worlds CC free anyway. If you had all the xp's wouldn't the store content you don't have be replaced with something else? If so you should be able to try it out okay now?
@Sparky1922 sent me the link to this, and I think this world is amazing! I've played in several of your worlds, but this world seems like it fits my playstyle more than any other that you've made.
Are you using rabbitholes from MH, DV, and MV? I would think that those might fit your theme better than the ordinary ones from base game, and you wouldn't need to do as much recoloring of them.
That full moon looks... scary, wow! You've got a big moon in your world - great ambiance! I usually turn moon cycles off (I HATE zombies!), but maybe I'll try playing with a cycle for once. Are you using the lighting from one of the store or EP worlds? Or a custom lighting scheme?
A lot of the lots that Sparky1922 are using are great. Glad she added the links to them in a later post; I want to get them.
Btw, that really cute fairy house she showed earlier in the thread that's pink and uses the reverse pagoda roofs was made by 60smusicluvr. I love that build, although it doesn't go as nicely in DV as I was hoping. It does look good in your world, however.
I take it that this world is still in building / test mode? Is the download link towards the beginning of your thread the latest version?
I'm definitely bookmarking this thread. I want to see when this world goes up.
Thank you for letting me know the name of the creator for the fairy house as I tend to save the lots in a folder with the creator name but for some reason on that save I did not..
I am using sky/water/stars/moon mod but only because I do in all my games and I will experiment with more combinations when the world has been finished and I start playing properly..
right now I could not help snapping some pics of the world just as dawn starts rising
Thanks for the links Sparky but not everyone is that nice about it as I found out a while back. And I promised myself I wouldn't make that mistake again. That being said I also wanted to ask and I know its probably not the place to do so but I saw you use the Nrass mods and I wanted to know if you use the Traveler mod. I have read about it but I'm still not sure how it works. Oh good luck on the lot in fairy circle I'm sure you will do great.
I am sorry you had a negative experience with another player but now you know you can ask me stuff and if I know I will tell you just pm me if necessary or it's off topic
The traveller mod is fab when you click on your Sims to go travelling all the worlds you have in your game show up including the WA ones. You can always stay longer in whatever world you are in and I think to do this you click on the city hall/Nrass and there is an option there but I cannot remember exactly how to do it as the amount of days that can be chosen when travelling is usually enough for me. (you cannot have any extra days in the WA worlds they stay the same as the game allows) You do not need a base-camp in none WA worlds either when your Sims arrive there will be rental options on lots to choose from.
I usually send my Sims to Paris for their honeymoon, IP for tropical holidays, My Bridgeport (another rflong7 world) for long weekend city breaks and I am in the process of turning rflong7's cake world into a Disney style destination by adding Disney lots and castles etc, I just need more hours in a day for all my projects..
I still have not experienced any lag or routing issues...I think for now I have finished the fairy area for the time being as it's time to move on to another part of the map
I spent ages trying to design and make a lovely looking fairy style park in the centre lot but failed miserably so I ended up saving the lot bulldozing and adding 3 20x20 lots 1 very cute Java lot and 2 20x20 1 bed what I have called mushroom houses
1 bedroom fairy mushroom houses-)
and finally the emerald castle which is a fitting home for Dorothy
This whole area is going to be filled with fairies and elves
The 20x20 Java hut is made by Crowkeeper on the following link
People have been very busy while I was away. Great pictures, great builds and that fantastic world

I have just about got the vampire area to my liking when I am getting error 12 constantly across all my games despite having lots of ram but I cannot save my games at all so I am truly fed up and off to play 2 for a while..
I made the skating park bigger as I wanted it to be the main feature in the square and added a few midnight hollow world residential lots as I thought they fitted in with the general area theme..
I also added a bakery for all those hot cocoas after a winter day skating..and remade the gym from moonlight falls so sims can work off any festive indulgences.. I added a poolside club with a bar, casino tables and musical instruments so I think my vamps are going to have enough to do
Behind the castle walls I added a row of small witch houses..
SPARKY1922 has found some beautiful lots to fit into the theme of your awesome Supernatural Island but I'm sure that you have also been busy building and I can hardly wait to see what you have created.
I finally have the chance to show you the project I've been working on for the last 2 weeks which should hopefully suit the theme of the pirate area .... I've run with your idea of a cathedral with a graveyard, market etc. to be used as Festival Grounds.
If you would be interested to add this build to your world I'd be only too pleased to upload ... it just needs a little more tweaking and play testing the seasons x

Thank you so much, @SPARKY1922 for sharing your pictures and the setup you made with those Gorgeous lots. Plus sharing the links to them.
I'm so sorry you're getting the Error12 message. I hope it's not with the Save as- option, too.

Hi
Oh, my~ What an Awesome build! You did fit it and built it just Perfectly for the world. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures of your talent. Are you planning to upload it to share?
@SPARKY1922 Not sure if this will help you with your error 12--but when I got it I was just as confused as you. I checked the sims folders and cleaned out the cache files. found I had tons of saves. I had saved to a different file like every 5 minutes. I deleted all except the last save file per world.
The error 12 disappeared. I now limit my saves to 2-3 per world, and save with the "Save as" instead of "Save" option. Hope this helps.
