I’m not interested in doing that this time. Our previous world, Arbor Vale, is a completely empty world, that required that I build everything myself. Like I said before, characters are directly influenced by their surroundings so trying to find a nice Sims 3 World that allowed for multiple places for camps, territories, sacred places, conflicts, etc. My first task, after re-downloading all my old custom content (plus some new stuff) was to test out a few different Worlds. Not the worst way to spend a weekend but I definitely didn’t like not being able to work quicker than one package every three minutes. So a good portion of my time on Saturday was clicking on each new package and re-watching Grey’s Anatomy as they loaded individually. Sims 3 has the nasty requirement that a lot of packages need to be manually installed. Most Sims 3 mods are finicky at best, and in my effort to have a clean start, I uninstalled all my previous mods and made a completely new mod folder. So this weekend was a flurry of mods and custom worlds and trouble shooting.īest practices for working in Sims 3 is Back Up Everything.
