Ok like what HP and you said I click on SV .world file but a thing pops up and says like you need to have a program to open this! something like that.

What do I do?

You need to download S3PE to open the world file, as explained in HP's post.
Get S3PE here:
http://dino.drealm.info/den/denforum/index.php

do I download it from this thread http://dino.drealm.info/den/denforu...php?topic=189.0 ? Sorry I just want to make sure.

Yes, that's the one.

nevermind its working

Ok I open up S3PE and try to open up SV but it says this:

Could not open package:

why will it not let me open it?

thanks

Try copying SunsetValley.world to your documents folder and then opening it.

I think you can also get past that error by running S3PE as an administrator, though probably best to copy it in case you go do something silly like making changes to it by accident and then save over the original.

Thanks, I have it opened in s3pe. I am importing the files into the other world file but it just freezes when I click open and the hole S3PE page is frozzen. And I have been waiting for like 10 min for it to work. I just don't think its going to work with me! Do you know of any good site of where I couold download the real SV into CAW! Thanks

Try importing the files a few at a time, and you can also try importing directly from the world file (instead of exporting the files first).

ok got the files saved and I went into CAW and clicked on the world that I want to open but it said:

Unable to load file .'\C\Users\account name\doc.\ea\ts3CAW tool\User tool data\Worlds\Glacier Pass.world':Cannot load a Packed File (0) in The Sims 3 CAW Tool- Beta

What do I do now

Sorry for all of the questions!

That shows that the import didn't work correctly- that message occurs when the global layer can't be located. Try it again, make sure you are following the steps exactly.

How can I copy all Ressources ?

Are the Ressources ALL the Files on the left side ?
Do I have to select all of them and then Export them to... ?
How can I select them all without make a click on each of them ?

thanks for help

Yes, they are all of the files contained within the world file. Select all of them by clicking the top one, scrolling down and then shift-clicking the bottom one.

Alternatively you can import from package instead, and then select your world file when it asks you to choose the package.

Could you please explain this step:



thank you

If you try this with S3Pe, you will understand what's meant by that. Follow the steps as HP directed in the first post and a box will pop-up in which you can select those options.

OK I`ll try it

OK It works... But in CAW I get an error if I want to save ???

Do file>Save as and give it a fresh name. Please read the rest of the thread, these problems have all been discussed in here.

Ok sorry
My English isn't perfect so I don't understand everythink...

But Thank you for your help

Now it works to save the world with other name etc. But now I can't open it with CAW again ?

Do you get an error? Perhaps try it again- I can open worlds I've saved using this method, so possibly it didn't save correctly. Make sure that when you import the resources using S3PE you choose Save but when you open that world in CreateAWorld you choose Save As... and give it a fresh name.

Yes the second time I've tried it it has worked.
But now I have the next problem.
I can't export the world there comes an error like

"The world couldn't be exported"

I don't know if it is translated correctly

Make sure you have given the world a name, thumbnail and description. If you are wishing to install an edited version of one of the EA worlds then you also need to delete the WPID as outlined in this thread. That is so that the world is seen as a different world to the existing EA worlds by the game.

I haven't used a world out of the game...
