problems world building with Island Paradise!!

I am so frustrated right now. Ive spent months working on an India themed world. I want to stay limited to as few EPs as possible but there are some elements of IP that really fit into the world and I have had to go through and remove all of it because of that stupid boat routing! I'm beginning to think that the problems with Island Paradise were not so much the little mistakes here and there but with boat routing itself. OMG how i despise those water taxis and having mermaids in other worlds!!! But how I love the build items and decor. I tried turning off boat routing with mods, it did nothing. Boats ignore routing paint, in fact it seems as if routing paint has no effect in water, is that true? Does anyone have any success building a world with IP installed or should I just skip it and make do?

    Hello KarilynMonroe2, I certainly understand your frustration... Unfortunately, Ep's tend to work as whole and that often includes all the unwanted effects.. I know that in options one can turn of some of the effects, like with Seasons one can decide whether they want rain or snow.. Routing works only for land, it is there to keep Sims and animal from going up mountains or other areas you don't want them to go.. If you go to view in CAW you can view which areas Sims can go to and which ones they can't... I use all the EP's (I have IP) and Sp's I own when building the lots for my worlds, so yes I do have to deal with icecream trucks and the time traveler... I wish I could give you a solution, but I do recomend checking sites like Mod the Sims, they sometimes have tips on how to get around this... I wish you success with your world...
  • What mod did you try? Apparently the mod "Go Here" works for stopping boat taxis. At one point it did not work but it was updated and now works, according to this thread - https://forums.thesims.com/en_uS/discussion/812127/problem-with-boat-taxis

    I downloaded the newest version of the go here mod and disabled boat routing, it did not seem to help.
