Palm trees, babes and dudes in bikinis and swim trunks, cute little beach shacks, water cabs, and a bustling shopping district with park...what more could a sim want.

This really has helped my game considerably. I've been recommending it everyone.

Hello there, I'm just checking in to say that part6 is down.

Thanks for the report, have you tried again?
I could download it just now...you probably just hit a congestion period when there's a lot of people downloading from the site.

I have a question. I suspect the answer is no but I have to try as I've had massive issues with Isla Paradiso and it's horrific routing/lot placement. Is there anyway to use this file if I have the digital version of the game? I don't think so as I don't have a folder for the expansion pack, it's all done through Origin, but I have to try. I love your resource and fixes files and they are the reason I will always try to get a physical disc copy of the game. If I had to spend the extra money to get the physical copy I will but let me know, can you use this fix with a digital copy?

Origin games have the same world files; just in different locations. Of which, if you have installed to Defaults, have been documented in Game_Help:World_Routing_Lags/Where^wiki, under Install Paths.

If yours is different and not customised, let me know and I'll add.

Nope, it was there. Thanks a million! I had no idea where origin put the game files!

Downloaded all files, tried to unrar them, i get stuck because the part02 file is named different than it needs to be. meaning the files is worthless? Something must have been missed. Updated files and have old startfile or something?

Did you do the "rename all files" after downloading step?

I don't know how much I can help in your brave en devour but instruct me if you can. The world still stalls/lags. It's NO WHERE NEAR as bad but it still does. That's not your fault or problem. However, if you want to make it better I would like to help you find problems. I sincerely want to play on this world. I like the design over all others and your work on other worlds has been phenomenal.

Please let me either here or via PM how I can help.

Sure, just tell me when you have lag in an EA world; any world, not just this one
- how long in Sim weeks and days this Save is,
- how big the file size is
- what Sim and Lot you're playing,
- what action did you just queued up or is the Sim autonomously doing,
- if on the way to a Job, what is the Career track, career level, own vehicle or carpool,
- if on a Community Lot, which one and how many Sims are present,
- by using Overwatch and setting the Stuck Check Auto-reset to false, what Sims are always reported as stuck and where,
- plus the basic info: CPU, RAM, GPU, Operating System, gameversion, DVD or Digital (Origin/Steam).

...and many more, all documented in the Game Help:Intermittent Freezes^wiki article, i.e if you answer the questionnaire in that and provide the answers, that should cover most scenarios where I could get an idea of whether it is a routing issue correctable in CAW, or not.

This reporting has to be done on a Save based on EA's default Sims and Households, however. So, that I can try and replicate the issue. And the more information I have, the more things I can try...and pictures is always a BIG help! Instead of describing "Sim stuck in that bush near so-n-so Lot", you can just point to a spot in the picture and say "look here!".

If the world hasn't got a fixes thread yet,
- PM me, or
- post in my Guestbook, or
- comment in http://ellacharmed.wordpress.com/20...es-report-here/ or
- if a Store world, post in the "What I've read/saw/etc about <worldname>" in Sims 3 Discussion, or
- via tweet, or
- via Google Talk/Hangout ( ellacharmed[at]gmail[dot]com or routing.fixer[at]gmail[dot]com ), or
- via Skype (ellaz.cinders)

See? So many ways to reach me... And only the Skype ID has been hidden, up till now.

O____O too many files. I'll download it when theres less files. Till then i'll just use the island town from the store.

Urm, did you reach the end of the post?

Yes, well....need fixes for that one too. Which is also available here.

DLed it. I cant figure out how to install it. The links that you posted dont help

I posted so many links , which one are you referring to?
And which part of the install instruction can I further clarify, which line, that is?

Does this remove all of the routing issues?

Not ALL routing issues, just the routing issues that were
- correctable in Create-A-World, and
- I was informed about,
as shown in the thread and blog post.

If you find more areas, do let me know...

As always, Ella, thank you a million for cleaning up after shit EA makes. <3

Hey there! Thank you so much for this awesome mod, I hope this will get rid of the freezes every 10 seconds!
I'm guessing those were caused by bad routing because the game ran well when I used "resetsim *".
I'd also like to know when is the new version going to be available in .world format.
Thanks!

"I'd also like to know when is the new version going to be available in .world format."
What new version?

Thank you so much I hope this fixes my problem with the lag.

Hey ella, I'm interested in taking the base Isla Paradiso and updating it for Nightlife/Showtime/etc. I'd like to start with the fixed version (and in the past, when I've imported EA worlds into CAW, everyone's personality traits are messed up and they end up unemployed, so I'd rather not go through that again); is there any chance you could upload the relevant CAW files to your wordpress account? I think you'd just need to put the appropriate WORLD file and the corresponding folder in the Worlds folder.

So backed everything up, downloaded all parts, renamed them to get rid of the numbers and MTS_Ella Charmed bit, extracted part 1 with 7zip and replaced my isla paradiso.world file with the extracted file. I deleted ALL caches, and started the game (I have no previous saves in Isla Paradiso). I loaded a new save with isla paradiso, and noticed there was no picture for the world and the world description was in complete gibberish. Then the bar loaded to 100% in 2 seconds flat and I got an error message saying "a serious error occurred when loading Isla Paradiso. It is recommended that you restart the application." I played the un-fixed Isla Paradiso, which loads fine (but is laggy and takes forever to load, which is why I downloaded this).

I tried re-downloading everything again, but same results. I have windows 7, nvidia GEFORCE graphics card [yeah, I know it's not made for gaming, so this could be the problem] and a 1.60 Ghz processor.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant to post this as feedback and not thanks!

@StPatrick,
Folks would really want that? O_o
Done - http://ellacharmed.wordpress.com/20.../isla-paradiso/

@Marcy,
forcing the game to re-render stuff would normally have that kind of unwanted side-effects on underspec'd machines.
Can you name the caches and their locations? Did you include the WorldCaches folder?

If you have s3pe, you can test if the joined and extracted .world file still maintains its file integrity, by opening the IslaParadiso.world file in s3pe.
You might also want to try the full .world file from my blog, in case the extraction and joining process went kablooey. Unless you want to try redownloading and reextracting all files again...

I deleted the missingdeps.idx file (this causes my launcher problems), all worldcaches (none were listed for isla paradiso, but I deleted them to be safe) and all the caches under documents/electronic arts/sims 3. I think I'll just download the one from your blog- but thank you so much! (I know most of my lag is probably caused by my under-specs laptop, but I have overwatch and it resets all the families in the lag-causing houses you've fixed like every 5 minutes, and I'm sick of it.)
