Via Discovolo: Featured!!! d:D>-<
Well, after nearly four long months, Via Discovolo, my Italian island, is finally finished! The download below requires Ambitions, but I will be making a WA only version as soon as I can. This will most likely be in a week or so as I am going on a vacation to Michigan. I'm guessing that the world won't work at all without Ambitions, but it is possible the game will just replace the Ambitions items I used, so if someone with only WA wants they can give it a try. HELS is not required, but WA is for both versions. I'll be uploading a save file eventually with a populated version of the town.
Via Discovolo Version 3 (Final?) Download w/ Ambitions: Mediafire- http://www.mediafire.com/?pcdddm83bddt56o The Exchange- http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2867192 Tomb should be functional now. Also, a few other minor aesthetic issues were fixed. If no other issues are found, this will be the final version! If one download option doesn't work, give the other a shot. Also, you might have to select the "save file" option in order to get the Exchange download to work. Please comment! :D

Bugs, issues, glitches, etc.
I've played in this town a little bit and haven't seen any major glitches, but I'm guessing there are some that you will stumble upon. If you find any glitches or things you'd like changed about the town, just leave me a note and I'll be sure to fix it if possible. In regard to lot tearing on the cliff lots, I'm only going to bother trying to fix it if it either causes routing issues or is incredibly unsightly. Other than that, it's just too much of a hassle trying to solve lot tears.
Known issues:
-lot tears on cliff lots
-windows glare an odd shade of yellow for no apparent reason (anybody know why?)
-Tenutta Moretti's pool needs finishing
-Two graves that shouldn't be there are on Tenutta Moretti
-Chairs are randomly floating on a corner of Tenutta Moretti
Tombs:
Somewhere, deep under the bricks and brownstones of Via Discovolo, the long-lost King and Queen have left their treasure! However, they will only give it to someone daring and cunning enough to pass the many tests and challenges they have set in place. Can YOU be that person?
To discover the secret of their tomb, highlight the below area:
The tomb is located beneath the tower by Tenuta Moretti, the white mansion on the hill with a long, winding road leading up to it. The switch to uncover the staircase is in the base of the tower. To get the keys to the first locked doors you will come across, go to the King and Queen's gardens, the large formal gardens on top of the hill. Here, you will see pedestals. Place the items the pedestals require on top of them (silver, gold, rubies, and diamonds) and you will be able to access a treasure chest. Inside these are the keys. The rest should be self explanatory.
Thanks for exploring Via Discovolo! Have fun playing in it! :D :wink: :D
