Hello everyone:I found a world to download that I really like. However it has one major problem. It's got all sorts of routing issues. I'm not sure what sims are trying to do or what could be causing the stuck sim messages. Anyone here good with diagnosing such stuff?

Is it in houses? I had routing in one of my me made houses because I built it and put in a pond right up near the house and my sims didn’t want to go anywhere near the kitchen until I leveled the land out under the house..

If you play with mods I suggest NRaas Overwatch. Overwatch will detect stuck sims and warn you with a notification. By default, Overwatch will automatically reset the sim, but you can change that in it's settings. Once you disable OW from automatically resetting stuck sims you can right click (left click?) on the sim icon in future OW stuck sim notifications and the camera should zoom to the stuck sim. This will allow you to see the problem and determine whether you can fix it. If the mod zooms you to an inactive's house you can use NRaas MasterController to open the house to see what's going on (click on the walls of the house>NRaas>MasterController>Open). Be sure to use MC to 'close' the house once you are done, otherwise the game will continue to animate the sims on that lot which will affect game performance.

Doesn't matter when the world was created as the games coding would automatically use the existing spawners, effects etc... to add things like fish, seeds, insects, minor pets, weather etc... from the later EP's. Not to mention not one single patch has ever touched a .world file which would mean that Sunset Valley would be even more outdated that is if patches actually mattered to .world files.The world would've had to of had problems already or the download was bad.

I don't have a lot of builds to put in a blank world. I'm not a builder by any means.

Yeah I don't have much when it comes to store content and absolutely no custom content either.

I know a couple of times my sim tried to go to the ocean and it was getting stuck sim messages from that. I've even seen sims stuck on the sidewalks/roads too.

If that's the case, you may need to open this world up in Create a World to iron out these issues. It sounds like not only terrain but broken sidewalks and roads not connected properly.

There is no custom content in anything I've put in my studio. I don't build or make sims to upload on a computer that has custom content on it.
