Pleasant Valley - full world, beta testers wanted

[ilsati]

Greetings all;

I've been working on this map on and off since World Adventures was released :blink: but I do believe it's almost entirely finished. I've played with it and given it to a couple of friends who haven't reported any major issues, so at this point I think I need some real beta testers and some real feedback.

Pleasant Valley (http://www.mediafire.com/?b3ocqx76d5q361d) is a large-map custom world that draws from every expansion and stuff pack except for Generations and Outdoor Life. There are no store objects and no custom content at all (or so CUSTARD says, anyway). It's been pre-populated with a wide range of characters. It's meant to capture the feel of a small, history-rich town that is slowly succumbing to the press of modernization. The core of the town features a lot of old brick structures and Victorian painted ladies, but other neighborhoods are more house-in-a-box.

I lost a fight with CAW this morning and tried to re-install, but apparently the current version doesn't mesh with the last tiny patch that EA released because now I can't open it at all. All comments are encouraged though, and any and all issues discovered will be corrected as soon as I can get back in to work on them.

The only known issues so far are the failed lighting effects in one of the clubs and some minor lot tearing. Enjoy!

To fix the issue with the patch here http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?p=3513489&posted=1#post3513489

I like the world, I like it alot, my only feedback would be more, it seems that everything is spread out. More lots and tightly compacted.

The other thing is the rock texture, the hill need to be more dirty as well as rocky to give a sense of style.
