New World, Darkmoore Village
Hello Everyone, I have a new world to share! Das Stakehause (Vampire Themed Restaurant and Vip lounge) is inspired by Darkmoore Village at Universal Studios, Floridas new theme park Epic Universe. One of the attactions there is called Darkmoore, and it has the Classic movie monsters theme. So, I just loved it and thought it would be fun to create this small, walkable village! (its really small, no roads) The World is in my studio, and it has just the empty lots, but the builds are also in my studio so you can add what you like. One of the lots, the burning blade tavern, has CC Windmill blades, I checked the lot with Custard and they do come with the lot, so if you don't like CC, you may want to put something else in its place...but, the effect of the blades burning is very cool! Curse of the Werewolf (Roller Coaster) Darkmoore Village World (empty) The Burning Blade Das StakeHause- Vampire Themed Restuarant Darkmoore Cemetary The Darkmoore Well Schoolhouse There are lots for Dracula and the Invisible man and the Wolfman that are marked. If anyone wants to build and share, I would love it! I'm still working on playtesting the Harry Potter themed world and its almost ready I think to share. There are lots for it in my studio as well. Here is a download link for CC I am using but did not include with Frankenstein Manor. Frankenstein's Laboratory Items509Views7likes6Comments[Current Issue] Sims 3 Store world can't register/install
Overview This guide is for registering and installing standalone worlds from the Sims 3 Store, specifically those bought with money. That list includes Dragon Valley, Hidden Springs, Monte Vista, Roaring Heights, and sometimes Barnacle Bay. If you bought a Store world with SimPoints and it's not appearing in your purchase history on the Store site, please contact EA customer support and request that the SimPoints from the failed purchase be added back to your account. How to register a Store world jump to: My code doesn't work jump to: I can't install the world When you purchase a standalone Sims 3 world from Origin or the EA App, you should receive an email confirmation from EA. If you don't see this, check your spam filter. This email should include one product code per item, as shown here in the blacked-out red box: IMPORTANT: Some players have reported finding their product codes on ea.com, under Account Settings > Order History, so please look there as well. If you never received this email and it's not in your spam folder, please contact EA customer support. https://help.ea.com/en/customer-care/ You'll want the live chat option, not email, so you can explain the issue to a real person in real time. If you don't see the live chat option, try again in a private browsing window (or another browser), and continue as a guest rather than signing in. Otherwise, go to this site: https://store.thesims3.com/ Sign in with the same email address and password that you use for other EA sites, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click "Redeem a Code." Enter the code you've received, and the world should appear in your account. You can then download it from your purchase history (Store > My Store Account > Purchase History) or its product page. https://store.thesims3.com/worldProductDetail.html?categoryId=12642 ↑ My code doesn't work If you are sure you've never used this code, but the Store site tells you it's invalid or already been redeemed, you'll need to contact EA customer support to ask for a refund. https://help.ea.com/en/customer-care/ I strongly recommend using live chat rather than email. If you don't see the option, change the location in your browser window to U.S. or U.K., or choose a slightly different category of issue. Or use a private browsing window, or a different browser, and continue as a guest rather than signing in. If EA support doesn't help, please say so in this thread. If support does help, please post anyway letting me know what world(s) caused the issue so we can look for patterns. ↑ I can't install the world If you're getting the "there are no packages to install" error, please see this post: Re: Sims 3 Launcher "There are no packages to install" | EA Forums - 11190163 The standard way to download a world is to go to its product page or open your purchase history (Store > My Store Account > Purchase History), then click the Download button. If this isn't working for you, try a different browser. Firefox generally works best with the Store site. It is generally unnecessary to sign into the launcher before attempting to download or install Store content. However, this has helped some players, so it's worth trying. Mac users only: if you see an Error Downloading Content {0}, please repair the game in Origin, restart your computer, and try again. If the world still won't download properly, try a clean Sims 3 user folder. Rename the existing "The Sims 3" folder in Documents > Electronic Arts, open the launcher to create a new folder, and try to download only that world. If it works, you can move the downloaded world from the new Sims 3 folder to the old one you renamed, trash the new folder, and change the old one's name back to "The Sims 3." Downloaded Store items are found in the Downloads subfolder and have the extension .Sims3Pack. Be sure to delete any older downloads of the world before moving over the fresh copy. If the world downloads properly but doesn't install, please try a clean Sims 3 user folder as well. Rename the existing "The Sims 3" folder in Documents > Electronic Arts, open the launcher to create a new folder, download only that world, and try to install it. If this works, you can install the rest of your Store content into that folder, then move over your saves and any other files you'd like to keep. Please see this guide for a list. If reinstalling all of your Store content would be a burden, or you're confused about another part of this process, please ask for further help in this thread. ↑25KViews10likes806CommentsAccess to Rush, Tournaments, and The Grounds Data
Hi everyone, I've been looking through a few of the community-built GitHub projects that work with EA's Clubs data, and from what I can see, we're currently able to access match data for League Matches, Playoffs and Friendlies. I'm wondering whether similar data is exposed anywhere for The Grounds, Rush, Live Events and Tournaments? There's so much potential in this data if it's available to third-party developers. For example, imagine being able to see that a player has played 150 1v1 matches in The Grounds and has never lost. You could effectively identify them as one of the best 1v1 players and give other players something to chase. Or being able to build leaderboards around things like: 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 records Rush performances Tournament and Live Event records Win streaks Individual player statistics Global rankings Regional/country rankings Records for specific Grounds activities You could potentially have players competing to become the best 1v1 player in the UK, Honduras, France or globally, for example. The Grounds especially creates a lot of interesting possibilities because the data could become more about the individual player, rather than only their Club. I assume some of this data must exist internally for progression, matchmaking, results, rewards, etc. What I'm trying to understand is whether any of it is currently exposed through the public-facing endpoints used by the Clubs website, another endpoint, or any other mechanism available to third-party developers. And if it isn't currently exposed, is there any plan for EA to make this type of data available in the future? I'd love to hear from anyone at EA who knows how this data is handled, but also from developers in the community who may have already investigated The Grounds/Rush/Tournament data and found something I've missed. I think there's a huge amount the community could build around this if the data is available. Thanks!16Views0likes0CommentsRecreating The Sims 3 console worlds to PC
Have you played The Sims 3 on consoles (PS / Xbox / Nintendo 3DS), and would you like to be part of the team bringing these console worlds to the PC? The Plumverse team is currently working on recreating these worlds and is looking for help - specifically builders to create lots and households. Everyone who contributes will be credited for their work. We are currently working on Vista Beach (Nintendo Wii) and Port Abel (Nintendo 3DS), so if you’d like to join the team or simply follow the progress of the projects, here is the link to our Discord server.

Hi, i've downloaded 3 expansion packs today (Seasons, Generations and Supernatural). The first problem accrued when I opened the game and Moonlight Falls wasn't showing as a world option. I went into the game and opened both CAS and build mode and every object, clothing and hair was in-game but couldn't be placed or "worn". I've made some in-game screenshots to show how it looks. Also wishes related to the expansions for example: 'Meet a occult sim.' doesn't have a image like all the other wishes. I play on MAC, does that have to do with this problem maybe?126Views0likes4CommentsGlitches on Return WA in MV
I have the Traveler mod. Error Trap. Overwatch. Story Progression. Register. They have travelled before to WA Le Champes as a whole household, all good. One of them has gone to university and completed it in one trip. All good on return. Now, two of the five, newlyweds, went to Al Simhara. On return the game said it had sold the business they were partner in, Tasty Tomes and Treats, which is the bookstore-restaurant of Monte Vista. The top household sim in the portraits on the left of the screen, who was one who stayed behind, an hour later, when being instructed to run to the end of the driveway then 'go to work' from their career panel, reset back to the house. I got her to run to the end of the driveway again, then choose the 'go to work' button in her career tab. She reset again. I do this because at their house, the Perry sisters, the carpool arrives halfway up the hill and it takes them a while to catch up to it, get in and go. I tried going back to the last save I had in Al Simhara which is 5 minutes before the newlyweds Noel Perry and Jayden James fly home. Went through the travel loading screen for returning home again. When they arrived home at the town entry spot, the game immediately told me again that the Tasty Tomes and Treats had been sold. I checked it and it has an option to buy a partnership, instead of to buy out and the map tag doesn't have the owned symbol on it. And this time the other sim, Emma, the top face on the household portraits, didn't have any career panel, she is now unemployed, which I didn't arrange, the game has done it. She is dressed in her pink dress and white coat to go to work because she had just had a shower for it as Noel and Jayden were leaving for Al Simhara. But there is no Science Lab job for her to go to. Everyone else's careers are intact. What's going on? Do I need to go back to a further back save? Is it the Traveler mod interfering? This has never happened before, neither in my past games or towns. Should I go as far back as before they went on holiday? I have a couple of saves from when they were at Al Simhara, and a bunch before. Are you stumped puzzlezaddict ? Totally time-wasting and frustrating.206Views0likes15CommentsLauncher crashes when I open the downloads tab in Sims 3
Game launcher crashes when I open the downloads tab in Sims 3, maybe someone has ideas how to fix this problem. I play in Mac. I uninstalled everything and then reinstalled but unfortunately it didn't help. I bought a new world - Roaring Heights Gold Edition but I can't download it in my game when launcher crashes.11KViews32likes188CommentsDo we just pay our money and deal with this bullturd
Literally countless issues with this game, imagine, you take the time to report the issues and still get no acknowledgment, no responses, no fixes. at what point do we make a stand or do we just except it. As one person we can’t do anything, as a collective surely we don’t just allow it?45Views0likes0CommentsBuccaneer Bay
Out now! Download from Exchange Here are the basic information of the Buccaneer Bay. You can find more information in the comments about families, community lots etc. I'll upload additional lots later to the Exchange, and I'll add those to the comments as well. Story: Welcome to Buccaneer Bay, a tropical island with a long history as a pirate stronghold. For centuries, buccaneers used its beaches for shady deals, buried treasure, and general debauchery. Today, the old pirate spirit is alive and well: the locals are charming, quick with a smile, and about as honest as their ancestors. When a massive hurricane wiped out the nearby island of Crimson Cliffs, some of the survivors were evacuated here, and the island is now busy pretending everything is totally fine...
