UPDATE - 17th May

Orville Complete Package
No Fuss!

Seeing as we have had a few problems with the lots in Orville not working and such Flabaliki has made a new .exe file that contains the whole neighborhood already which automatically installs everything in the correct places.

This means you DO NOT need to download ANY other files in this post... none!

Orville - Town History

The old Victorian London neighborhood was founded back in 1863 by Orville Williams & Harold Shaw. The two friends were both entrepreneurs and set out into the english country side to start their own town where everyone knew each others names.

After one year the town had grown to 50 people. It was a community the was like clockwork. Every person had their job whether it be a farmer, baker or even an educator they all played their part in Orville.

In 1865 the town had blossomed in size to 200 Sims. Even though the town was small; just like Williams and Shaw had visioned, most Sims lived in the Pumbury Place Apartment block which housed over 50 sims.

The town has stopped growing since and sims began to move away after the death of Williams in 1902. As the first world war settled in the sims moved away to a safer town closer to supplies in case they needed it.

The town is a little dusty but has been left in mint condition. Until this day no other Sim has lived there. Will you bring back Orville and Harold's vision of a community that knows everyones name?

The town is in your hands now. Complete the story of Orville!

Brief

Orville contains 22 lots and each of which have been play tested by the creators of each lot. Orville was started on the 25th of March when Mauriemom suggested the idea that we submit an entry for the Victorian London challenge. We were already going to work on a neighborhood but Maurie's idea gave us the extra push to make this neighborhood even better!

The green circle of trees you can see in the neighborhood is all of the upper class homes.

Below is a key of the lots in the neighborhood:

Pick which lots you like the look of and find them below.

I will test this neighborhood on a different computer. (I never had time to play test the neighborhood originally as it was supposed to be in the contest) P.S. I have never uploaded lots in this fashion and didnt know if it would work but seeing as the mod approved it, it must work. I'll go on a fact finding mission :P

I'm not on the computer that my Sims 2 is on right now, but I did find the download that I need at your web site. I will try it tomorrow and report back as to whether that worked for me.

Thanks!

The first 5 replies contain all of the lot information and have the lots attached below. You download the lots individually.

DocFX Forum Resident Join Date: Nov 2005 Posts: 861	Hmmm?, although your custom content does show-up in my game - the filename structure looks wrong ie. 'BarOzPipe.package.package' is this right?. BTW - I'm using '7zip' to un-rar/zip etc. if that helps and this is purely for feedback purposes - I'm no whinning Pomme! - G'day mate...

Flabaliki Instructor Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 585 Thanks: 67220 in 137 Posts View My Journal	Well that is probably because that custom content file was from a previous project of mine and I edited it and when I renamed it I left the .package bit of it as its name not the extension, nevermind glad you have the neighborhood up and running on your computer though! If you have any more questions or issues about Orville post them here or post them on our website http://www.lebensim.com/forum or send an email to [email protected].

kumquate Test Subject Join Date: Apr 2008 Posts: 2	Hi, I downloaded the "all in one" package, and though everything looks good, the game hangs when I try to enter a lot with a brand new family. I restarted the game, and it showed the family moved in, but it hangs in the same spot when I try to enter the inhabited lot. Any ideas? I have all of the EPs and stuff packs, and I disabled any hacks that could have been conflicting (with no change in the problem). Thanks! edit: I used the boolprop cheat while in the neighborhood, and the error that came up while trying to load the house was this: "Controller - lot load - Curtain Pull-Down" #291 Invalid Constant I saw elsewhere that if you press "delete" on the error the house should load, but it just continues to hang.

Flabaliki Instructor Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 585 Thanks: 67220 in 137 Posts View My Journal	Hmmm... Ok, thank you for the update. Kumquate maybe just download the ordinary version BUT first tripple check that all the files are in the right spot. I will test out the all in one package personally and see if I can fix this problem. Like I said just download the ordinary version and put that on your computer and see if that works just to make sure its the all in one package not the neighborhood.

kumquate Test Subject Join Date: Apr 2008 Posts: 2	Okay, I uninstalled all of the Orville stuff I'd previously installed, and started over with the basic version. Like before, the neighborhood itself looked fine; I downloaded two of the custom lots for testing (lot #11, the one that I was trying to use last time, and another random one), but no matter WHERE I installed the lots (per your directions and per random internet directions afterwards; I used CleanInstaller each time) they didn't show up in the bin so I was unable to test them. I put a Maxis house in the neighborhood and moved a pre-made Maxis sim into it without a problem. Hope this helps! edit: also, all of the content from the "all-in-one" package was installed to the right directories in my first try, so that wasn't the problem.
