"Adventureland" added with Patch 1.69.43?

Adventurland is a glitch?!!! I've always had it.
don't mind me, I'm a newbie, just recently discovered sims 3.
I haven't encountered any problems yet, and I'm playing in Adventurland right now. I just assumed that it was the world for World of Adventures, didn't notice it is Sunset Valley, I don't think mine look like Sunset Valley, it looks like...well, a new world.
I'm in the last patch, but just bought the game a month ago, all the expansion packs and two of the stuff packs that came with my base game as a bonus.
I play with everything installed (in the section of the launcher where you check what pack you want to play). I don't have any problems whatsoever, though I'm well aware that im not supposed to play with everything, I also have tons of mods and cc.
Truth is I'm testing the new PC I just build and this is my way of having fun, just pushing the game to its limits and maybe figure out what exactly is what makes this game crash, but so far no luck, the game is playing beautifully, is handling everything I throw at it really well. Only time will tell.
Anyway I was just looking for lots for Adventurland when I discover this forum. Thank you for the information!!! and hope mine helps too.

i just got a brand new pc yesterday and installed all the expansions and updates via origin. i saw "adventureland" world with the sunset valley pic and skipped it not feeling up to exploring it so late last night after setting up everything. ill check it out later

I only patched to .67 and I don't have the Adventureland. I love the WA ep though, my sim is currently in France :)

Honestly, I don't think EA would push this stripped Sunset Valley in order to advertise WA. It looks like a totally not interesting world to me. There would be hundred better ways to stir up the WA sales, if that was the goal.

Has anyone who has it, tried contact EA to see what it's all about? I'm only patched to 1.67 and have no plans to install the last one.

I would imagine only the game's developers would know for sure and that team was disbanded long ago. It's been widely assumed that the world was always meant to be there for testing purposes only hidden, but for some players (not all, I don't see it) Patch 1.69 revealed it by accident.

I didn't see Adventureland when I first patched to 1.69. But after a complete digital reinstall of TS3 it showed up. The .world file is in the WA Program Files folder along with France.world, China.world, and Egypt.world, at least on my computer. I've installed ellarchamed's route fix version of WA worlds before this, and the Adventureland.world file wasn't there previously. The entire Program Files folder structure for TS3 is different if you install digitally now. I wonder if, when EA made those changes, someone just goofed and included Adventureland not knowing it wasn't intended to be released. I also wonder if anyone who installs, or reinstalls, the WA EP digitally post-1.69 will get Adventureland.

For informational purposes I can confirm that my complete reinstall, on new computer with discs only, did not result in Adventureland for me. I am patched to 1.69.

Interesting. Just looked and of course the World file isn't there. I'm not doing a reinstall to see if it pops up (not that you were suggesting anyone do this). With my luck, I'd probably be the first one to end up with Patch 1.71 or something and no one here would be able to help me with that. :p

Same, although if it's just a copy of Sunset Valley, I don't really need it lol. Although it would be interesting to see what the sims look like.

I saw this just appear one time and thought the same thing! Glad I'm not the only one having that problem, thought I may be going crazy!
