What is this?
I offer you the World!
Well, just these 3 for World Adventure destinations. These .world files have had the Resources imported from this download thread [In Testing]Resources for WA Worlds' Routing Fix. Since no one has yet to complain of blown up worlds, I thought it is safe to offer up the .worlds.
See image of China with one of the spots highlighted in the yellow circle - top is in CAW, bottom in-game. Once Sims gets stuck there, they can't find a way out because the white dot in those blank squares is disconnect from any other routing. The blank squares mean Sims can enter that spot, and the white, disconnected dot means Sims cannot leave that spot. Each time the game engine stops to recalculate on how to get the Sims out, the game lags. So imagine if there are these various spots in your worlds and have stuck Sims in there that the game is trying to recalculate routing algorithms for all the Sims individually.
Doesn't that explains all the lags we've been having?
For the Full Instructions on how to get the downloads in-game, read Game Help:World Routing Lagswiki. A summary is below.

FAQs
Q: Do I need to have/buy the World Adventures EP for this to work?
A: Well, yes. The fixed world(s) won't work on its own. There has to be something to replace, after all.
Q: When I try to download, I get a 403 error.
A: This tells me the wiki to the multi-part files weren't clicked on and read, as at the bottom of the DFDD4 page states:
If after sometime, you still cannot download them, try downloading another MTS item - like a mod or a Lot. If the other item can be downloaded and this item still cannot be downloaded one at a time, then please log out from the site, clear caches, relogin and try again. If none of that help then, post with web browser name and version, archive program name and version, the error message, and whether you have logged out and cleared caches
Q: When I try to extract, I get an error.
A: Have you read the DFFD5 wiki? Have the files been renamed? If yes, to both questions, post with the filenames after the rename action and the exact error message, please. And also state what archiver program you use?
Q: Why don't you upload it as a single file, and avoid all that hassle?
A: There's a file size limitation onsite. The full world files are uploaded to Google Share, linked from my blog.

A: This tells me the wiki to the multi-part files weren't clicked on and read, as at the bottom of the DFDD4 page states:
Quote:
If you get a 403 or 503 error, means that you're downloading too many files at one time and are using up all the download slots. There's a limit of 3 files at a time or 3 chunks per file per downloader to give other members a chance. You'll have to wait for six hours when the server reset its caches for you to be able to download again. |

A: Have you read the DFFD5 wiki? Have the files been renamed? If yes, to both questions, post with the filenames after the rename action and the exact error message, please. And also state what archiver program you use?

Install Instructions
Quick Guide:
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
