Below are some important things you need to know before downloading:
Specifications
- Sim Acres is on the largest map available, with a height of 300.
- It has 172 lots and is 113 MB total.
- It is heavily populated.
- It has been tagged as a city, so there will be no spawned wildlife.
- It's a "hybrid" world, meaning that it's one part suburban, one part rural, one part beach/seaside area, one part suburban, one part city and one part military
- It needs the following EPs--Late Night, Pets, Ambitions, Generations, Seasons, World Adventures and Showtime
- It needs the following world--Riverview
- It has a tiny handful of items from the following SPs, but not too many--Fast Lane, High End Loft Stuff. If you don't have them, don't worry; this won't affect your game one bit.
- There is absolutely no CC.
- There might be a tiny, tiny number of store content items. I'm talking maybe a painting here or there or a potted plant.

Known Issues
- There's an annoying bug in which sims will get stuck on sidewalk that runs along the highway. I have no idea why this keeps happening but it only seems to happen once in a blue moon. If sims get stuck, just use the "resetsims" cheat to unstick them.
- In townhouses, sims--when they return home--will insist on going into the backyard before going upstairs. Annoying, I know. Just lock the doors until you're ready to use the backyard for a special reason.
- Because there are loads and loads of venues in Sim Acres, you may run into the problem of nightclub spots being empty. Two ways to solve this: Add more sims (and lots of them). Turn off/bulldoze community lots you don't want.
- You may run across cloned members of the "Civilian Life" household (Katina Spiotto, Jimmie Ali). These sims were originally part of the Negroponte household. If Negroponte shows up in town, just evict the entire household out, or--if you want--split it up and kick out the clones.

Oh, Wait--One More Thing!
There's a Hangout in the beach area called "Chasen's - Hangout." I built an alternate casino version of this lot using the slots and tables from Lucky Palms. If you have Lucky Palms installed and would like the casino version of Chasen's, download below and replace the "Chasen's - Hangout" lot.
Wow, this is amazing! I've never installed any custom worlds, and I'm looking between this one and your Riverside one... I'm not sure which to choose. They both look really great. Thank you for your hard work!(Now I have to find out how much my game will lag with this)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rachel! Hopefully, it won't lag your system. If it does, you could try and lower the graphics settings a little bit. I find that can help with lag somewhat.
Deletei'm always looking for new worlds to play. this one looks great and i'm going to give it a whirl!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Let me know how it goes when you download.
Deletehaving issues with the sims store. :(
DeleteMari, try the link posted here at my other website: http://www.thesimsdepot.com/sims-3/downloads/worlds/sim-acres/. I have the file mirrored at Google Drive.
Deletedownloaded at google. thanks!! i'll let you know how it goes. :)
Deletehey there! i didn't think it would take so long to get back to you, but i had a HUGE project due, and that took up all my time. i tried playing Sim Acres yesterday and couldn't get it to work. the bridges were missing - and so were the high rise buildings, even though i have all that installed. i want to let you know, though, that it's not your world; it's likely either my computer or my copy of the game and the expansions, as i have this same trouble with other worlds, as well. some stuff just won't load/work for me for whatever reason. EA Games, gotta love it, right? anyway. your world is gorgeous. i hope it gives you hours and hours of playing pleasure. ;)
ReplyDeleteMari, have you placed a checkmark next to each one of your EPs in the Sims 3 Launcher, located in the "Expansions & Stuff" tab? If any of your EPs are unselected, including Late Night, the content won't appear in your game at all.
DeleteHey your world is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI’m wondering if you have the CAW files?
I’m following your advice to populate the world and could really use the help.
