Reason: Solved on the basis of me having been a complete fucking idiot

[SOLVED] "Cannot load this save game" bullshit
Right, I've been trying to load up MW_thesism3's brilliant but very much WIP Bankenshima 1988 world (if you don't know why, take a guess) but I keep getting a warning. A kind of warny warning that warns......warningly. Cannot load this save game, it says, it may have been saved with expansion pack data that is no longer present on this system. Emphasis: MAY. And that's a big if considering the author himself told me the requirements, and I meet all of them.
Now while I'm sure someone (quite possibly Igazor) is already getting ready to tell me that this is just one of TS3's quirks and that there is positively no way whatsoever to fix this, I'm going to need a little better than that. Preferably, a lot better.
Let me know if that's an option and if not, how I'll have to solve it anyway because if there's no solution, it ain't a problem.
Thanks!
Theory: the files provided consist of a savegame with no .WORLD file attached. It's said to work this way, but I have some questions about that. Then again, it's worked for others so why not for me?
SOLVED: Like I said, it was odd to have a world with no actual .WORLD file attached to it. While I swear I've read through the Bankenshima thread at least 5 times, I did in fact miss the necessary Sims3pack file. While not absent, it was still certainly hidden pretty well. Make sure to grab the Sims3Pack, not the save file alone. Preferably both!

Well I tell you, either it wasn't there the first 6 times I looked or I'm just really incomprehensibly bad at reading. The save should be on the first page.
The world's still a WIP, as in, in progress, but it's been put on the backburner. He's going to come back to it eventually, but I wouldn't expect it to be anytime soon. If need be, I'll fix it up to a more usable state myself. I'd go so far as to work on it in CAW, but none of my PCs can run CAW.

Runs fine, it's actually a very small world. 90% of it is decorative which is fine, but the screenshots are highly misleading. All in all I think there's only about 30 lots. I haven't really found a use for it, in fact all I did was look around for about 30 minutes, admiring the handiwork done on it, and then I left. My idea was to use it for cinematics and some minor scenes in a future episode of mine, but I don't really know how and why I would do that when I can just build a set myself using the building shells that come with Boroughsburg.
So while I hate to call it a hugely underwhelming world, I wasn't impressed by it. It looks gorgeous, that's it. Normally that's enough for me, but this one isn't doing it for me. I followed the world's development religiously, but if you've seen the WIP screenshots, you've practically seen it all. I can't say the same about Bankenshima though, which is a full-sized world that comes with all the quirks and features of a full-sized world. And that means, at least to me, that there's much more to explore.
