@SimGuruModSquad I've been looking into cloning worlds so that it will be possible to have multiple copies of Willow Creek and/or Oasis Springs. With a bit of extra skill, I hope to be able to mix-and-match cloned versions of neighbourhoods from each of the worlds but first thing's first: which files make up worlds in The Sims 4, and where are they located?I know that there are .world files in /Data/Shared/Worlds/Areas but those are only for the individual areas. I need to know where to find the files for the full worlds. Would worlds be as easy to clone as other parts of the game or would they require extra work? I know that in The Sims 3, they could be cloned merely by copying and pasting the .world files.

Hey Zerbu, a world (Oasis Spring, Willow Creek) is comprised a collection of the .world files in data/shared/worlds/areas. The world map itself is all done via the UI (which is in UI.package). Once you choose a lot/area to play from the world map, then the appropriate .world file is loaded.If you want to start down the path of modding worlds, I would suggest modifying the .world files in place to see what you can do. Adding of new worlds is tricky because of the UI is somewhat hard-coded to the pre-authored world. Also note that .world files do not work with the Mods directory.See an old post I made in this thread for general comments on world modding.Thanks.

Yes, road textures actually come from the fullbuilds. Attached is a list of road related textures.

The primary one being the standard green grass which is simply a blurry mess. Oh, and the clouds in the sky, if they are DDS images?

I just came across some (potential) grass while looking for something else:S4_00B2D882_00000000_4C87F1D9FCC89B75%%+_IMG.dds <-- just grassS4_00B2D882_00000000_3CA1D5C4E9C9B9A0%%+_IMG.dds <-- with "walking stones" (think that's the same base texture)Both in ClientFullBuild8.E: Also, S4_00B2D882_00000000_545D27B588ACB9F7%%+_IMG.dds <-- w/ small yellow flowers

Here's a few instances to look for, all of type 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

@SimGuruModSquad What Files Make Up The Sims 4 Worlds?

I'm rising this thread from the depth of oblivion in the thin hope that @SimGuruModSquad will answer my prayers :smile:

Which files are the terrain files in Seasons Pack?
Which instances rules the changing of seasons?

I've found a good bunch but it is not enough :
- if I change some files, then I don't have my files in Forgotten Hollow
- I have inconsistencies between cities
- ...

You are now my new God, please tell me what kind of sacrifice you'd prefer ;)

I'm off to try this list and will get back to you asap.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Dearest @SimGuruModSquad : your list was perfect. The replacement for Season went smoothly with it. Thanks to you :)

I'm back because I've been all the packages to track down the latest updated files. I've found most of them but I have dark spots in all 3 base game worlds ( Oasis Spring, Newcrest, Willow Creek ) and in Granite Falls.

Updating the floorpaints and making sure all files were similar ( with or without alpha ) made it so that I don't have the dark cracks/dark spots in all other worlds. But it is not working for the 3 ( or 4 ... ) remaining worlds. What am I missing ?

Edit : in case I'm not super clear : https://66.media.tumblr.com/1e7b9350931e3d819d4bdc444ed58afb/tumblr_pj4mafyksX1u4ygwbo3_1280.jpg

Thanks for the reply! :D I guess editing the existing worlds will do for now, but I hope to be able to create new ones in the future. Related question: are the ground textures located in individual .world files or are they somewhere else?

(I don't see any texture files in the .world files, but I'm asking in case the problem is that the current modding tools that have been created just aren't advanced enough to read files of that format)

Yes there are textures in the .world files - look for resource type 0x00b2d882.

Thanks!

I managed to get preview the files by exporting them, but all I got is images like this:

There were also a small few that appeared completely blank.

I'm a bit confused about how those files work. :( What I'm looking to do for now is just a plain replacement of ground textures. I also noticed that none of the images contain parts that look like the road textures, which leads me to believe there are other files.

I think all the other files are DDS _IMG files spread throughout the ClientFullbuild6, 7, and 8. All of them which are not present in the World files are obviously in here somewhere. Maybe some in the ClientFullbuild0. One simply has to go through them, click on each _IMG and lift out anything interesting the first time you see it.
ZerbuTabek

Thanks! I'll check those files to see if I can find what I want. :)

EDIT: The files won't export using the normal method, so I'm going to have to look through them one by one. It will take a lot longer. :(

EDIT 2: I've found some textures that look like they might be world textures. I'm going to export them, then try and change them. :D

Thanks!! That will be really helpful! :D
I'm still confused about the regular ground textures though. I tried scrounging through FullBuild6 to find textures and found a few world textures. I applied a random recolour as a test, and it worked, so I know that at least part of the world is controlled by regular DDS textures instead of the ones found in the .world files.
