Loving the world so far. Was able to put in my 64x64 houses that I built years ago on the lots where I can put those in the middle and then I'm looking for 40x40 houses for the edges. I attempted to download some of the lots in your exchange, but I am curious to know if some of those were for different worlds?
musicman4365 Thank you for trying out my Alryne Valley world. I'm glad you could place your 64x64 lots in the upscale neighborhood. I wanted to be sure that the players had a choice of where to start their Legacy Challenge on a 64x64 lot. There are 9 empty 64x64 residential lots available in Alryne Valley. Two are located downtown and can be changed to community lots if they are needed for other venues. I haven't started building any 40x40 lots for Sugarplum Circle yet. My brain hits a dead-end when I try to build homes to fill a lot that size. 😞 Betty's Mansion made good use of a 30x30 lot. I suppose it could be placed on a 40x40 lot.
I've been working on Alryne Valley for two years.
None of the lots listed below contain any custom content.
To summarize the Alryne Valley homes:
The following eight homes were created specifically for Alryne Valley:
Country or Chique - 2 BR 1 BA (Nov 2) - 201 N Ivory Lane - no store content
Growing Starter - 3 BR 1 BA (Oct 22) - 301 Crimson Lane E - no store content
Stucco Upgrade - 2 BR 2 BA (Oct 18) - 203 Crimson Lane E - no store content
Outdoor 1st Home - 2BR 1BA (Oct 18) - 201 Crimson Lane E - no store content
Luxury Upgrade - 2 BR 2 BA (Nov 15) - 101 N Ivory Lane - 1 store item
Family Starter - 2 BR 1 BA (Oct 21) - 202 N Ivory Lane - 1 store item
Diagonal Upgrade - 2 BR 1 BA (Oct 19) - 205 Crimson Lane E - 1 store item
Family Upgrade - 2 BR 2 BA (Oct 22) - 104 N Ivory Lane - 2 store items
The two homes below were created in a legacy game for family members to move into. I decided to include them in Alryne Valley.
Scientist Upgrade - 4 BR 2 BA (Oct 19) - 106 S Ocean View Road - 8 store items + (Stones Throw Greenhouse)
Illustrious Author - 3BR, 1BA (Oct 20) - 103 N Ivory Lane - 12 store items
Outdoor Starter - 2 BR 1 BA (Oct 16) was an earlier upload of Outdoor 1st Home - 2BR 1BA (Oct 18). I don't remember what the differences are between them.
The following homes have already been placed in Alryne Valley:
Ebony and Ivory Double Wide - 2, 4, 6 Alryne Court
Wild Woodlands - 1, 3, 5 Alryne Court
Orchid Plantation - 201 N Orchid Way
Orchid Manor - 103 N Orchid Way
Marquis Corner - 101 N Orchid Way
Spanish Elegance - 102 N Ivory Lane
(all uploaded June 10, 2023)
Cabin Getaway (Mar 27) - 301 W Lake Atherton Trail
NOTES: Orchid Manor, Marquis Corner, and Cabin Getaway are the only ones that do not contain store content. I only uploaded one of the three single-wide mobile homes and one of the three double-wide mobile homes as the only difference between them was color scheme and decor.
Camping Challenge Starter (Nov 20) is a 30x30 lot I set up for playing my Camping Challenge.
Abandoned Run-Down Farm (10/29/24) is a lot I created to use with Farm challenges. 4 store items.
112 Day Challenge Starter Lot (8/28/23) is a 10x10 lot I use to make a Sim using the 112-Day Challenge by BlackSand. I uploaded it mainly so I didn't lose it. Has no store content.
Sea Horse Estates (Oct 21, 2023) and Sea Horse Estates - 6BR - 2BA (Dec 1, 2023) as well as Fishing Hideaway (Nov 25, 2023), the texansky 10x10 and 15x10 challenge lots (Dec 2-5, 2023), Paddy's Sports Bar (Jan 20), and Mirabel Palace (Jan 26) were my contributions for Cape Albacore, a collaboration by many Sims builders. I did use a store-content circular staircase. To place the base game staircase, see the pictures located here to see where the staircase was placed.
Betty's Mansion (Apr 20, 2022) and Betty's Mansion - 3 BR 3 BA (Aug 29, 2023) were created for Betty Simovitch. They contain a LOT of store content.
Alryne Valley Community Garden (Mar 25, 2023) was the original garden but was such an odd lot size (18x22) that I replaced it in the world with a more common size lot (15x20). There is still an 18x22 lot between the library and the spa where this can be placed.
Our First Home. Pregnant (Jan 9, 2022) and Start 'er Up - 2 br, 1 ba (Feb 10, 2022) were my first attempts at creating starter homes under §16,500. These were for personal use, but eventually, I uploaded them to the Exchange. They do contain some store content.
I do have another question. Are you using anr Nraas mods? I've tried to installed errortrap and overwatch as I started noticing stuck sim issues popping up and with errortrap, anytime I would try to load the world, the game crashes. Once I remove errortrap, no more crashing.
I use both Error Trap and Overwatch. I do not use LazyDuchess Smooth patch or anything else except NRaas mods to avoid the conflicts between the different core mods. I have listed the other mods I have installed below. Are you using LazyDuchess or other mods to help with game stability?
Does it crash when loading a new world with Error Trap installed? Or is it not even loading the Sisns 3 game?
I get some messages occasionally. When I check them, I find different reasons. More than one Sim trying to use the same object, a Sim trying to go somewhere and not having enough room to get there (things in the way). I've had Sims get stuck in the brick wall in Central Park, and horses get stuck on mailboxes. The townies bring their puppies to Central Park and put them down in the center. The poor pups can't climb stairs so they can't go home. I even found one where the sink was next to the bathtub and the Sim couldn't get in the tub because the sink was in the way. I had to turn the tub around to fix the issue. I've never had a game where I didn't get at least one stuck Sim in any world I've played.
Is Overwatch set to reset the stuck Sims automatically? Try turning off the auto-reset for a play session (Overwatch -> Settings -> Stuck-Check Auto-Reset to False). When you get the pop-ups, click on the Sim's picture and see where they are when they get stuck.
You will need to reset them yourself when it is set to False. Sometimes Sim gets stuck when everyone tries to get to the fridge or the bathroom. By having it turned off for a session (you can turn it back on for the next play session), you will get an idea of what might be causing the issue.
Let me know if you have any issues specific to one of my homes or Alryne Valley so I can fix them.
I always make sure that there is plenty of room to get around in the homes I create. I've found I get a lot of stuck Sim issues when I use the homes from the bin. I usually have to edit the home (Shift-click the ground -> Build On This Lot) to view the floor plan and see if there are any bottleneck issues anywhere. You may need to move or delete something to make more room.
