Does this world contain Redwood Peak or have you removed it?

This version is the one with RedPeak, and it matches the resources thread also here on MTS.

The no RedPeak version is on my blog. Or the link to it, in any case. There are differentiated by different world thumbnails. As you can see...

That link would tell you what's done and not done. Or rather, the explanation of the percentages on the sidebar.

Just a small curious question. Some world fixes say put in docs menu structure some say programs structure, does it matter or should they all be in the installed path under programs for that specific ep? Just thought it might be an overworked typo from having the task of fixing the worlds on your sholders. Thanks

Did you change the mailboxes? All the mailboxes are now the Colonial (base game) type.

I'm not sure whether I am lagging on daytime or night time but my game is stuttering. When smooth, it was so smooth until I am so touched. Glad to have somebody with some problem or else I don't dare to post this.
By the way, thank you ellacharmed for fixed this map because it was clearly smoother than before so much but just with the stuttering problem with this fixed map. Don't know why. Sorry for my poor english.

Just a quick note - the instructions for downloading multi-part files is incomplete. I'm going to assume that, once I finish clicking Part 1, I should continue with Part 2, etc. The instructions don't actually say that. Such a big deal is made to follow instructions exactly that I feel I must comment.

EDIT: I just clicked on Part 1 and got the "world" file. I clicked on Part 2 and got an error so I'm guessing the extraction works to extract all with just 1 click - it isn't clear in the instructions.

But I am confused. I previously did Riverview... ran it over your .bat file and imported the 6 files into the S3PE file. With Hidden Springs, extracting Part 1(& Part 2?) gave me 1 file, which was the Hidden Springs.world file. I don't have the 6 files (in the instructions). It appears that this is the actual file that goes in the Installed World file to replace the one that is already there. Do I assume it has been recompressorized or do I need to do that again? Speaking of, since I imported the fixes for Riverview, do I need to recompressorize it again?

I too am experiencing 2 second stuttering. Effects are still in motion, but sims get frozen. Deleting the newly generated world caches only lengthens the smooth gameplay until 5 real time minutes later.

Other than the above, I already feel the difference compared to the EA release. ErrorTrap isn't reporting anything either.

Yes, it matters! Because the installation methods are different. Store Worlds path is different from EP Worlds path.

YES! You DO need the Store world. Because, otherwise you wouldn't have anything to replace when you reach this part of the steps "replace the default version", now do you?

Nope, I didn't. Do you have a mod for mailboxes, by chance?

Pic, please? Where exactly? These are already pre-existing spawners in these locations? Or you added them yourself via Debug or a mod or something else?

@Eehna & @BakaUshio,
Can you both pinpoint this time further? What action is queued up?

Instruction on the download thread "Download all parts of the world"
Instruction on the SimsWiki "after you have downloaded and renamed all the files,"
- yes, instructions don't explicitly say do Part 1, then do part 2, then do part n. I use the blanket word "all". Well, because I'm lazy...and secondly, I subscribe to the DRY "Don't Repeat Yourself" philosophy as I do in coding.

Do you have a suggestion on how I can improve the instructions?
Instruction on the download thread "Right-click on the file with "part1" in its name and "Extract here", or whatever command your program uses. "
Instruction on the SimsWiki "right-click on first part and "Extract here" "

Sorry for your confusion. I do hope you realized that you're commenting on the .world download thread; whereas for Riverview I gathered that you downloaded the Resources version. Resources and .world versions need to be treated differently. Yes, the .world file has been recompressorized. As this is already the full .world download where I had done the importing of the fixed resources for you guys, why would you need to recompressorize again?

Umm...read the rest of the instructions? Specifically:
Quote:
Place the extracted & joined .world file in this path and replace the default version. (You have backup, right?)


@trcyz,
same question to you as for @Eehna & @BakaUshio above. I repeat here for your convenience

@lolieve,
my answer to you is tagged on to @Dragonminx's above, in case you missed it.

hi!

sorry, i didn't screen shot it, and now i have changed back to the EA world.
but it happened all along the coast line, so to speak. and those in that lake at the very bottom of the waterfall. there is no lot there.
all those pre-existing spawners, that is not placed on any lot. i tried them all.
but those on lots worked fine, both pre-existing and and those i added myself.

this seems to also be happening in france, so i will check all the WA worlds and get some screenshots for you.
i'll PM you once i have.

i'll also check in the rest of the worlds that i got your fix for, but it might take some time.

and the time when the lagging happened, well, all during the day. from sunrise to sunset.
and i had all sorts of tasks lined up - going to work, gardening, fishing, going to the park and being in the park, painting, reading - and doing absolutely nothing.

of course you do. this is a FIX for the store world, not the world itself put up for download.
