Warning do not download this TS3 World it has malware (Meant to place this in the TS3 Section)

Thank you for posting this.
I do not have much info atm. For all i know the creator may be clueless about the infected files. However everyone who tried to report this to them over facebook has been rediculed , bullied and banned. I have no idea if the person who is so harshly and blindly defending the files , is the creator or a friend of them. As for the pirated content there is a small chance they have no idea they did pirate them. Seems they took pack meshes , turned them base game compatible and added them as cc in their world file.

Lets hope EA manages to clear things up, that its just a misunderrstanding and that the world files get cleaned and reuploaded, cause from what i've seen it's a beautiful world (from pics at least) and it would be a shame. For now it would be wise not to download, untill everything is cleared up

It's not uploaded in the ts3 world download section. The link is on Tumblr and it redirects to a file sharing site. The file might be infected without the creator knowing if their computer has been infected without them realizing. There are a lot of people reporting their antivirus are rising red flags about it. There are also people that did download and installed the world and their computers went haywire. Black screens , lagging, renamed files etch. The basic issue here is the attitude , that makes people skeptical, and think that the file has been deliberately infected. Whoever tried to report the issues, has been bullied, made fun of, blocked, and called a "hater" instead of the creator looking into this and finding if there is indeed an issue with their files

Just as an FYI, this is actually a false claim stemming from an argument on The Sims 3 Facebook Group.

There was a group of three who made up the claim of viruses as a joke because they disagreed with the admin:

These people then were banned and spread these unverified and uncorroborated rumors around.

If you want an explaination, there's a pinned post at the facebook group that explains everything.

This a link to the facebook page:

Unfortunately, rumors spread too easily on the internet these days, especially if they made by people how have a bone to pick.

There is nothing wrong with the world! It does not contain viruses! Myself and a few others have done reviews on the world and haven't had any issues! The people who have had virus issues either already had it on their desktop/laptop or got a virus from a pop-up ad when downloading from mediafire!

There are numerous reports of it having issues with malware. Maybe it was an issue with adds or whatever. Still we need to warn people until everything clears up. The attitude of the people in that group was not nice either . You don't tell someone to "go drink bleach" because they had issues with a world they downloaded. There are over 15 people who claim that were banned , bullied and harassed (even through dms) because they were "haters" for having issues with the world and their antivirus. And all this mess is not looking good. On top of this all the world contains pirated content. And those pirated content , attach to your uploads. Anyone who downloads the world, and doesn't know exactly how things work, can easily upload something to the exchange , with pirated content attached and get in trouble without having a freaking clue why.
The wise thing is to not download this world until everything is cleared up. I know it's awesome and all, the creator did an amazing job, but it's better to wait. Better be safe than sorry.
