Problems with Mods and World Adventures
21 Nov
If you’ve been having problems whilst playing you World Adventures game due to mod installs there is now some more info on how to solve these annoying things! Thanks a lot to SimGuru_BGY_11 for the info:
Before World Adventures, the Mods folder and file Resource.cfg were placed in the following directory:
C/ProgramFiles/ElectronicArts/TheSims3 or, the directory you installed to your game.
WA When installed it created a new folder under:
C/Programfiles/ElectronicArts/TheSims3WorldAdventures
This is where you need to move your Mods folder and file Resource.cfg. to C/ProgramFiles/ElectronicArts/TheSims3WorldAdventures
You can move the Mods folder and Resource.cfg by right-clicking, selecting Cut, then Paste into the appropriate directory.
Since downloading Sims 3 WA I have had an increasing number of glitches. First my Fridge didn’t work (all food spoils immediately) and since I saved last night all my family have lost all their relationships (completely red bars when talking). I don’t have anything tricky installed – can anyone help?
What do you mean when you say something ‘tricky’?
If you have mods or custom content, just follow what the instructions tell you and it should all work out.
Let me know if you need any more help.
Zach.
I moved my Resource.cfg file and all my mods over to C/ProgramFiles/ElectronicArts/TheSims3WorldAdventures and they still wont show up :( do you have any other suggestions about what I might be doing wrong?
Hey, sorry, I can’t really help otherwise, you could try asking in our forums and see if anybody else can help.
Good luck!
Zach.
Hey, since I installed WA I cannot seem to “Choose Bait” or “Inspect Water” when fishing… I reinstalled it and moved the necessary stuff… Anyone else having the same issue?
Any help? Please it’s annoying!
Hey, I haven’t heard of this one but I’m guessing it may not be that you haven’t moved the mods but it could be the mods that are causing the problems – try moving the mods (but still keep them if you want) and load the game – if you still have the same problem then it’s probably the game.
Or it may just be that you’ve been trying to fish at an un-fishable place :P
Let me know how it works out,
Zach.
OK cool, thanks..
I doubt it’s my mods as being the idiot I am, I forgot to make a back up of my mods on the original Sims3 :P But I’ll check the folders and stuff.. :)
Do you think a manual installation might help (maybe there is a glitch on the disk with the auto load)?
Tamz*
Hmm I don’t know, never really tried a manual installation myself, you could try it if you know how to do it but if there is something wrong with the autoload then it should definitely be reported to EA, I doubt they will really do anything about it but you should at least raise the issue if it works fine with manual installation.
So yeh, try it if you can and let me know how it works out!
Zach.
Hey Zach.. me again.. (why do I get the feeling I am going to bug you senseless?)
I have another issue.. I went to Egypt and before I went I could read the books in my book rack, while in Egypt I purchased books and could read them outta my inventory.. but when I returned and put them in the book case, I could no longer read them.. even if I took it out…
Please help me! (again) :P
Tamz*
Hey again – I have a feeling that it would be easier to make a World Adventures issue thread in the forum :P Don’t worry about asking for help, it’s nice to know you come here for it.
Well I have heard this glitch before but there hasn’t really been a fix to it yet – I tries looking a bit more into it and did some research but can’t find nada on it.
Sorry but I think you’ll have to just wait for a new patch. One really annoying problem with me is the fact that I can’t install and new patches – my game just goes mental :P
Feel free to ask anything else but this isn’t something I can really help you with, it’s out of my league.
Zach.
Heh – you’re one step ahead of me, it’s easier to chat in the forums :P
Hahaha, thanks Zach.
Seems the book case came right by it’s self :P
Hope to chat soon :)
Tamz*
Hey there I also have one huge prolem with sims 3 wa. I installed a mod/patch the instant learning skill, but since that was installed my sims can’t use any object that has something to do with building/learning skills, not the mirror to practice their charisma, not the gym to pump iron or anything…and I noticed that if you install the hidden traits mod/patch then if you want to create a new sim, then there is no traits for you to choose from, and also if you install any custom clothing or tattoos for that case, then sims 3 wa is on slow drive the whole game…and I did try to install it under my sims 3 wa directory, it’s just the same problem.
Hey, I recommend you wait for the modders to update their mods in order to work with WA then if you still need help, feel free to ask!
Zach.
Thought Id throw in my two cents here. For the most part, I love the new additions. The expansion could have used a few more staple Buy Menu items (lamps/sofas/chairs etc) but I think its a fairly stable game.
I did have one strange thing happen though, which reminded me of when they expanded to Sims 2 Bon Voyage. Here it is:
I’ve sent my sim on many trips to China and Simhara, but on the last voyage (AFTER he invited a woman back from Simhara and married her, also taking in her young ward – a child), I took all 3 of my Simfam, and the child came back with a twinner.
Ugh. *shudder* That bugs me, as the female is pregnant and I wasn’t prepared to have 4 people in the home already.
Any thoughts, community?
Wow, this sounds quite strange..
Before I try and do some research or find some help, let’s just get this right:
So you went with three, the Dad, the Mum and the child, came back and there was magically a new twin?
Or did you come back and the Mum had another baby which was the twin?
I hope I can help either way :P
Oh, you may get more answers if you ask in this topic in out forum [link] but we can still discuss it here if you don’t want to register.
Zach.
Does anybody else have problems with the game just shutting down for no reason? I have had it happen a few times and when I would go back into it my saved game was no longer there.
Wow, that sounds like a nasty problem :S
I would just leave it for a while, it’s never happened to me and I haven’t seen any cases where it has been solved (or even any cases of it).
I’ll keep on the look out in case I see anything that could help!
Zach.
Hey. :] So I’ve been playing World Adventures for a few nights now, and I’ve noticed two issues:
First one, I’ve tried numerous times to make new sims, in the create a sim section of the game. Everytime I try to make a new sim, the game crashes, and I have to reset my computer completely.
Second one. When I played in a family that was already created, sent them on an adventure and everything. Then I’d go to save my game. Bt it kept telling me there was an error, and my game never saved. I tried this repeatedly, and I kept getting the same message “error 16″ [i think]. And when I went back to the game a while ago, the family I played in before, was completely gone.
Can you help me, please? :]
Hey, I think it’s best to simple reinstall The Sims 3 and The Sims 3 World Adventures, you’ll lose everything, but from the sound of things, you already have.
What EA have been doing with these patches are ridiculous, almost everybody has some glitches in their game but only a few have serious glitches like you. I can’t do anything personally, but my advice would be to reinstall.
I’ll let you know if I find out anything else.
Zach.
Those sound just like the problems I have! I have reinstalled it and it really didn’t fix the crashing problem.
When you get the error 16 problem just save it under save as that is how I fixed that problem.
I have the problem with sim relationships, with the red bars while talking and the lack of any relationship stuff in the relationship panel. I don’t have any mods, so it doesn’t have to do with that. It has happened twice, both after I returned from China. I “solved” it by saving a copy of my family to the library and starting a new game with them, but like I said, it happened twice. Now I’m afraid to travel.
Hey, I’ve got a really annoying problem too.
Every time I try to install my game it comes up with an error when I press ‘try again’ it continues this keeps happing then at the very end of the installation I try again then I wait half an hour and the problem reoccurs. I cannot get past this, its really bugging me :P
I hope you can help reply as soon as you can cheers.
P.S – I’ve looked everywhere I cannot find a solution
– EDIT: Just merged your other two comments into here ;) (Zach) –
If this game shuts down on me one more time I’m going to go crazy it wont do it for a few days then out of nowhere it shuts down. Anybody have any ideas! Please I’ll try anything!
My problem is weird. How can you ask a sim out? Cause apparently ever since I installed the World Adventures expansion pack it wont let me. I have a “baita” heartbreaker family and they cant ask anyone out. its so annoying.
Any help?
@Maddi – Sorry, I have no idea what you could do in your situation apart from contacting EA (good luck :S) or just keeping a look out and seeing if you could find any more help.
@Chrystle – I would just wait for another patch unless you can try and give any more details like when, does it happen when you save?
@Caroline – Again, a patch will be the only thing that may be able to solve it, I’ll try and let EA know about it.
I’ll try and pass on all the problems to EA but I’m guessing that nobody of importance will really get to read them – it’s worth a try.
Zach.
My game shuts off right after the load bar loads and it started after i moved the resource folder into the world adventures folder.
Then it’s probably a mod that interferes with the game, try removing one from the folder at a time (still keep it somewhere safe) and seeing if any changes occur, if none, put it back and remove another and so on until you find the source at which point you should probably contact them if you really like the mod of custom content.
Hope it works.
@Christle,
Does your game shut down during recoloring?
I have the same issue. First it starts slowing down while I recolor, when i change the point of view, then the game shuts down.
It happens mostly after a few hours of decorating.
I thought it could be something with my graphic card (maybe too old), or not enough RAM.
Do you recognize this?
Hey. I need help, the Sims 3 WA game will not load when I try to move in people. The screen will still move around with the mouse but I cant do anything because the obvious loading signal says “Processing…” but it is not loading at all. I have waited 9 minutes (I counted with my ipod timer) and it still hasn’t loaded, I have tried doing this with and without cheats and it doesn’t respond and the only way to get out of it is to wait about 2 mins for task manager to shut it down. Or restart the computer completely. So can someone please tell me how to fix this?
Hey. I have a problem :/
Whenever I want to talk to someone on the sims 3, all it says is “mean”, and “ask too pose”. Also, I can’t answer the door either.
I have a question, my WA wont let me ask anyone out I cant take anything back from Egypt, Paris, or China and my food spoils fast. I don’t have any special mods or anything downloaded and my game is up to date so is it fixable at all?
Sorry, but it sounds like the latest patches have done their horrid work on you.
All I can advise is for you to hold tight and wait for ‘the new fix’ which may even cause some new glitches.
I don’t know how EA do it.
Good luck,
Zach.
I did this livechat thing with one of the sims 3 help desk people on the internet. It was no help at all, he copied and pasted stuff from other sites forums which I’d already tested and didn’t work for me. Hopefully EA will fix this soon.
Please help me!
I have pirate Sims 3 and Sims 3 WA. When I installed TS3 WA, and open it, it says me to reinstall Sims 3. I did that, but it always tell me to reinstall it. I really don’t know what to do…
Help me!! -_-
Hey guys,
Sorry so long-
I have been looking at everyone’s problems and haven’t seen the major issues that I have been experiencing. First of all, yes my game also crashes either when I’m creating a new sim and haven’t been able to save yet or when I have been decorating a custom house for hours! This is really annoying but lately I have been dealing with worse. Let’s see where to start… ok I don’t know if I’m the only one having this issue but sometimes when I go to create a toddler, child or teen in create a sim the graphics get all messed up. Lets say I’m creating a toddler, it comes out half toddler with body parts of an older sim- like the arms and torso are all disfigured and it doesn’t look like a toddler at all. This also happens with any sim younger than an adult. To fix this I have to use the cheat to age that sim to an adult so it looks normal- but just sucks b/c it happens to a lot of my younger sims. Next- it seems like in some of my neighborhoods and exotic locations for WA that some of the homes or lots turn black and I can’t see them nor visit them. It’s almost like the basement feature that are included into the WA game has made them that way. I don’t know what to do but I just would like to know if anyone else is having these issues. Thanks to all who can help.
Hey. Since it is evident that the mods we have installed are not compatible with the most recent patch and WA, does anyone have any download links to mods that do work with WA?
Thanks.
Can anyone find out what’s wrong with my Sims 3 World Adventures? When I update my Sims 3 World Adventures to the latest version 2.3.33.003002 it just says ‘The version that you are running is incompatible with data. Please update your game! I removed the mods and kept reinstalling over and over but still it doesn’t work.
What to do?
Hi, I only have Sims 3 installed, I uninstalled WA. I uninstalled Sims 3 because the mods were making things slow then I reinstalled and they were still in the game!! Help would be appreciated!
I know how to save it! Just go on save as – instead of save :]
There’s another thing after coming back after a holiday, I went with 2 sims and they were married !! And when they came back everything messed up they didn’t even know each other any more and the women was on the streets I had two of the same sims so I had 9 people in the family which is wrong coz there’s only aloud to be 8 and I couldn’t click on the top one and now they cant get married again!
What the hell am I meant to do?!
@kg – Uninstall it then when it asks keep all saved games or what ever say no that will get rid of all your mods that you don’t want BUT IT WILL GET RID OF YOUR SAVED GAMES TOO!!
@Edogawa Conan – Do the same, uninstall it but if you want to keep your saved games then press yes when it asks you do you want to keep all saved progress or what ever.
Same happened to me and its fine now :) Then install The Sims 3 again then after you’ve done that install World Adventures :D
@Kiki – Download WA of the internet, it WILL NOT WORK IF ITS PIRATED :]
Because if you have a fake Sims 3 then bought WA out of a shop it needs the real Sims 3.
Sorry about all the comments, just one more thing.
If your game shuts down right, there’s a few reasons:
1) Ermm mine did that it could be because you have MSN on because whenever some one came online or talked to me (you know the little box in the corner when some one says something or comes online) that would shut it down.
2) Your computer can’t run it because it needs to be updated or running on something different or it’s not good enough to run sims 3 on it =P
3) You have too many things open when you play the game (like MSN, iTunes, Internet xD, and other ones) mine didn’t close down when I left them on but it just slowed my game a teny bit down but it was still okay.
4) You didn’t install it properly I dunno, it could of happened, you never know, just uninstall it then reinstall it :)
@PAUL – I used mods off the Sims3.com go to the exchange they all worked or welcome to mod the sims 3 they both worked for me.
@Krissy – Ermm same happened to me the first time I went but if you’ve only been once then try it again beacuse the second time I got everything back I dunno anything else to do :S
@KatieLouise – Ermm what traits did you give this sim? If they are traits like mean or something then it will say that, change them, press ctrl enter (the one above crtl) and c then type “testingcheatsenabled true” press enter the press enter at the same time you click on your sims then press edit trait or what ever or you can uninstall then install it again but when it asks do you want to keep save progress press yes.
If you have like any PROBLEMS WITH MODS then when you click on the Sims 3 Launcher, go to installed content or what ever and press run with out installed content :) it should get rid of all your mods and it might get rid of a few glitches.
If anyone has any problems then just like email McrmyMcrmyMcrmy@hotmail.com
:]
WOW! Thank you very much Bob! Tons of help there :D
I merged quite a few of your comments together and edited some things so it looks nice but thanks a lot for all the help you’ve just given to everybody, I’m pretty sure you’ve just helped out a ton more people than just the guys you helped personally.
Thanks so much Bob, maybe speak again or I could be seeing you at the Forum!
Thanks again man,
Zach.
K G: Just delete the contents of your mod folder and any file in the sims 3 folder in ‘my documents’ with the word ‘cache’ in it.
ARRRRRRRGH NO ONE ELSE HAS MY PROBLEM!!!
I start TS3 WA and it goes throught the EA GAMES bit and the intro then it gets to the loading bar and theres no music, no icons, and nothing happens!!!! Im in some serious trouble. HELP!!!
I just got WA and I’m afraid to load it onto my computer. Should I still be this paranoid about it?
What are people’s thoughts?
I am getting seriously annoyed now. It’s bugging me so much ’cause I love this game, it’s so addictive.
I’ve had this game for a couple of months now and have had no problems. But recently, after reinstalling and installing the most recent update, my .sims3pack files have a ‘software update error’ and won’t install, and my game won’t load past the neighbourhood screen. It just disappears. I can’t find a solution anywhere. =[
I moved all my files, and when it gets to the load thing, it doesn’t play the Music or put the World thing behind the Logo. -_- I can’t play without awesomemod I tried.
Hi there, I have been having some very crazy issues. At first I did not have any problems. And then it all started with my sims not being able to enter the hospital or the parliament building and loosing jobs because of it. My female sim nearly died being stuck at the hospital until I removed it. Its now gone and I cant place it anywhere.
Then I wanted to take my sim family to France. Once I got to France, the whole family was gone they did not show up at all. So I went back to the home town and they were not in their house. When I clicked return to game I was taken back to France with still no sims in sight. >.< major PITA
Is it a good game to buy now, or should I wait till the problems are fixed?
You could try it, the majority of people are fine with it, but quite a few have problems. I highly recommend getting it.
Let me know if you have any problems.
I have The Sims 3 World Adventures and I am at level 3 visa on Egypt and I purchased a house and went back home now when I try and go on vacation I see my house but no people show up along the side or any thoughts of needs what can I do pleeeeease HELP ME !! ?????
HELP!! My Sim went to Egypt. She came home and moved in with her boyfriend (who she’s not yet going steady with – I’ll explain why in a sec).
Now, when I try to get them going steady or even to get married, I can’t – my sim is MARRIED to an Egyptian who does not appear in her relationships and she apparently has a CHILD with him who is OLDER than she is!!
I’ve taken her back to Egypt to find this man but he appears not to exist!! HELP!!
Hey :) I have a really annoying problem. I recently bought WA and when I try to install it, the setup says ‘cannot continue setup because Sims 3 is corrupt or not installed properly’. My brother has tried fixing it and reinstalled sims 3 a few times but it still doesn’t work, do you know how to fix this?
xx Emma
Hey Emma,
I don’t know what more to say, I would have said that you should try a re-install but obviously that doesn’t work. Do you by any change have mods installed or anything that could be affecting this that wouldn’t change even with a re-install? If it doesn’t work after a few tries I would try to get my money back, but it may not be that easy.
Sorry if nothing works and good luck.
Zach.
NEW WORLD ADVENTURE ISSUE!!!!!!
Does anybody have this issue?
I have been searching and searching and nobody seems to have complained about this. I have been traveling a million times and never had this issue. Not only did I experienced the dreaded “travel somewhere and no sim shows up” (I found a workaround for that) but now every time I try to go home, my sim doesn’t “get there”. She’s already there like she never left. Everything I did while at Egypt or something NEVER saved! No relics, gems, missions, NOTHING!!! D:
Helloo, I’m having a really difficult time finding any solution for my problem :(
Whenever I go to China (I haven’t tried this anywhere else) and whenever I finish an adventure, the person I have to report to disappears…any suggestions?
Going back home and returning just cancels the adventure.
Okay. Its me again. But its been abt 2 months since i asked about my problem. I haven’t played the game since then- except on my laptop that doesn’t have WA. I get on the computer and play WA for the first time since forever and I STILL cant go steady with anyone. She doesn’t have any partner. This happened as soon as I came back from France. The game is up-to-date and everything. I can only play new families with no teens and married parents. Its really annoying. My dad (who is a computer geek) thinks the file needs repair. But I cant find anything that will repair the file…and I don’t know the file. Should I just reinstall? I think it would delete my family but right now – I really don’t care. I’m on my 3rd generation of “baita” (heartbreaker) family. If I can just get this going I would really appreciate.
Thanks and Sorry for the long comment =.=” and the trouble:)
Yeh Caroline, I would just do a full reinstall, sorry but it’s something that kind if has to be done otherwise there’s no way to find out whether it’s your computer or the game. If you can find away around it I would do it but I highly recommend a full reinstall.
Let me know how it works out,
Zach.
Hi everybody. “I would Love ANY HELP”
I had some issues after installing WA, so I re-installed. Now my mods don’t show up, I made backup of my mods before re-installing. I placed the Mods folder at the WA folder, But they still don’t show up. This is making me crazy…
Hellen
P.s. Is there any other place, were i could get some other useful help too?
Hi!
Ok, so my problem is very bizzare, I’ve searched the net and there is nothing about it, hope You’ll help me.
I installed WA and when I go into a household my fridge is completly empty, I cant buy any food at the grocery shop (There are only fish and meat). My sims are constantly in a bad mood, when in “Create-a-sim” I cannot choos voice and color/music/food preferences. Also, when going on vacation my sim just pops back into a houshold.
Thanks in advance for help.
Hey Hellen,
I think that what would be happening is that you are forgetting to move the resource file too.. or I may just be plain wrong. If you haven’t moved the resource file then do it and test it to see if it works, also, not all mods work with World Adventures and some may cause glitches so check it out if you have any problems.
Zach.
I had the same problem when I reinstaled the base game, no mods inside so I dont think the problem is because of mods… :(
Thanks for the help Zach, I really did forgot to move the resource.cfg. The game loads slower now, but I’m so glad I have my mods back. If I see game gets too slow I’ll try taking out some of the mods or just taking out all mods (that would be very sad, lol).
Well anyway Thanks A Lot for remembering me that.
“Happy simming”
Hellen
Heej. I have a problem and I would be soooo sooo happy if someone would help me.
I have The Sims 3, World Adventures AND Sims 3 Luxury and Design (or something like that. In Swedish it’s lyx och design). And the only folder I have on electronics art is SIMS 3,
no World Adventures or anything. It works in the game but there’s no folder in my documents -.-
I really want to install the inteenimator mod but it doesn’t work and I can’t seem to find the folder. HEEELP.
If anyone knows what the problem might be please please please send an e-mail to
belladimma@hotmail.com
I’ve looked all over, and haven’t found any mention of this…
My sims are trapped on vacation in France. Their visas expired, the clock stopped at 12:00 AM, but they didn’t leave and things progressed despite the clock stopping. I tried using their cells to “Return Home” but the button was grayed out.
They have now been there seven days (this is their first visit, so they were only supposed to have 3). On the Simology panel, the travel time says 4/3 days, the Adventure journal says 7 days…
Somebody, anybody, help!!
Thanks in advance.
Dude when i installed wa and tried to play this came up “you sims 3 base game is incompatible with the current sims 3 expansion pack please update your game via game launcher.” ive already tried updating the game and the same thing just shows up again.
Hey
I have some serious issues. My game (WA) worked perfectly when i got it (which was for christmas) but now suddenly i have issues. I don’t update my game and i’ve never used mods so whats the matter?
Any way my issues are as follows:
1. Whilst saving my game, an error message comes up saying ‘An unexpected error has occured while saving’ and tells me to refer to read me file for a code 16 (which doesn’t exist by the way). The only thing is, my game saves! its just an annoying and unnessisary message
2. My food spoils so quickly in the fridge it’s a waste of time preparing group meals.
3. My saved games become corupted when i travel with one member from the household.
The thing is, i have never had a problem with the sims, ever…so why do they start now?
well my dad bought me the sims 3 WA and it dident even go onto the game. it was somthing to do with the updates, but when we came to look up on things like this, we found we were not the only ones. so we (me and my dad) tried everything but it still wouldent work :( so in the end my dad got so annoyed he went onto the EA website and sent a email to the people who made the sims and he said that the game was not working correctly, and that people were having the same problems and that there were updates needed, but people couldent seem to find them, he basicly said if you dont sort this problem out i want my daughters x mas monney back. and it wasent long before the got in touch with us, they asked for our serial number and they sent us a download of the sims 3 WA! it was free because they knew that we had bought it.
so we downloaded it and it works great now!!! :D the only annoying thing about the download is that it takes long time 2 or 3 hours but the results are very good i havent found any problems so far. i would not recomend looking for the updates online because i have some friends who done this and put a viras onto the computer and had to buy a new computer :) good luck xx
melissa aged 12 ;)
it does work :) and if unsure spekk to me bout it :)
Hi. I installed World adventures and then tried to travel to Egypt (havent played anything else since, so dunno if there are other prpblems), but all times I go there, the graphics seem not to load properly, almost all buildings pulsate bright red and I cant select them. Although I was able to enter the sphinx, it was pretty unusable. I already tried to reinstall the WA, and I dont have any mods. Any suggestions?
Wow great post on the subject of WA.
I have had quite a few problems since installing WA eg: saving gameplay, game freezing, also my current problem of being on a adventure and not been able to carry out the task for example china, the stairs behind the shops after using the switch my sim can go down but after this can’t do anything but go back up, with this i am trying to reset the WA so i can do the task again or restart the WA again as i don’t want to loose any game saves prior to going on holiday!. I have tried uninstalling but goes back to the same state of current task (Stuck) :)
I can’t use any mods or custom content at all with WA! I’ve tried starting the game with only one or two mods that are known to be compatible, but each time I do, my game freezes on the first loading screen (the one that has the scrolling text and “world adventures”). The progress bar stays the same, the music continues playing, and nothing happens. I’ve tried putting the files in the base game folder, as well as the WA folder, but no luck. Any suggestions?
I have also had problems with the patches. When I first installed WA, the problem stated above happened, so I removed all the custom content. Then, the next problem was that the game crashed each time while loading a family/neighborhood. I eventually had to uninstall and reinstall several times, and I finally figured out that if I didn’t patch WA, my game wouldn’t crash. This means I have to disconnect from the internet each time I want to play WA so the launcher won’t detect updates, and I have to deal with the in game bugs that should be fixed. How annoying! I really hope EA comes out with patches for the patches!
Are sims 3 mods compatible with WA? I’m thinking to update my game to WA but my mods might be lost help me tell me what’s going to happen.
Hey I have had this problem for awhile now. When I take any family on vacation they do not show up, shows funds as zero, and are completely lost forever (unless I don’t save). I really want to take family on vacation because my main sim will have taken ever photo for collections after she goes to China, Egypt, and France. I do not have this problem on my laptop and I have tried uninstalling 4 times. I have mods but removing them does not seem to help. When I did save though it took me to edit town in china and it let me play a family that lived in China! Weird and cool but I wanted to play my main family! I know others have had this problem too but I have seen no solutions. Thankies ahead of time ;)
Ok so I went to download the newest update and when it was finished I went to go play and this message popped up and it said: “Your Sims 3 base game is incompatible with the current Sims 3 Expansion Pack”. So what do I do?
I don’t know how to mod please help.
Yeah, same problems with my game. All of my custom content worked up until I installed WA. So, I copy and pasted the Mods folder and put it in the same place in the WA folder. Still no CC showing up and it’s extremely annoying. Stupid glitches, I pay all of this money for my games and they don’t even work properly. EA frustrates me..
I have a HUGE problem with my WA. My Sims 3 worked perfectly fine, and decided to install WA. The first installation was a failure : my game would constantly crash to my desktop. But I was able to fix that by downloading another WA (from another uploader) and it works! No crashing. YET I still have this HUGE problem that my sims is unable to have any sort of relationship with skills! It doesn’t pump iron nor work out, it can’t buy food, several buildings cannot be touched (there isn’t anything option with the food store, the bookstore, the hospital, etc), it can’t unclog the toilet, etc. I don’t what to do :S

Hi, I had the same issue with my game crashing to the desktop also, I’m not telling you that you should do this because I am not a professional. My game was crashing because of some memory something however there was nothing wrong with my memory; it was a program called microsoft visual c++ (no idea what it is used for but I haven’t had any issues since deleting it) closing it I just deleted them since i don’t use it and I haven’t had anymore issues.
when i updated world of adventures and it had finshed it would not let me click on play or the home page, or anything on the setup. also it was asking for a up date via the game lancher, but i could not click on any thing on the lancher so i could not. so now it is not working!!!! disappointing
I’ve bought my sims base in the U.S, but i live in Israel, and i bought here (Israel) WA and Ambitions pack.
when i try to install WA it says that it cannot be installed because of different regional code, though Ambitions installed with no problems and it works perfectly.
any suggestions?
hi there1i have a problem downloading the update for my game..when i’m finished with one download and another one is starting the EADM will pop a window which says EA Core Server has stopped working?..and now, i can’t play my Game..can you give me some solutions?thx!
Hey,
I have similiar problems!
WA doesnt work with mods, and even without them its a lag storm on a high end gaming machine. I tried patches and updates but nothing works.
Its not funny at all, EA should really fix that or I want my money back.
And by the way “Ambitions” made it even worse, so why did they even release that game, when its not working properly at all? I uninstalled ambitions now but nothing works anyways and without the mods the game is boring.
p.s. I’m from germany so its the german version of the Sims3 games
Please, my WA crashes whenever I try to load a game. Also, when the intro finishes, there’s a black screen with a grey square in the middle… any help?
I’m having a prob, when I try to install World Adventures, it says “Setup has detected that The Sims 3 is corrupt or not properly installed. Setup is unable to continue installation.”
What should I do? Reinstall the Sims 3??!
