Default Worlds
Hi

Lately I installed a lot of worlds, but when I start the game and want to start a new game with a new neighborhood just part of them show up. It's in alphabetical order and anything under H is not there because there isn't enough space for it. Is there any way to access the worlds not showing except deleting those that are in the first part of the alphabet?

Just how many Worlds, are we talking about here? I didn't know there's a limit, I need to test if the same happens, so how many Worlds should I test with?

You use all these Worlds consistently? You have Saves based on ALL these Worlds?
None are borked or incompatible? Or badly made...

A lot. From the 27th they aren't showing. I don't have saves with all of them, and if really necessary I can delete a few, but I'd like it better if I wouldn't have to.

OK, but I cannot test with "a lot".
Do I stop at 10 or do I still go on after 25?

I currently have 5-6 (I think my max ever had been around 8, maybe)...so since I dunno how many your "a lot" is, I cannot say for sure.

I did say that they don't show up from the 27th.

Sorry, I thought that statement meant the "27th of May". My bad.

Don't think I have time to download and test for 27, though. So no promises.

Do report back if you can view them after you've culled your list down.

OK, finally peaked my curiosity enough for me to do this.

Installed 28 worlds, plus the 3 defaults = 31 worlds in total.

The full list shows in fullscreen mode, but not in windowed mode in a lower resolution.

So, EA in all their wisdom didn't think anyone would be loading these many Worlds, as their "Select a Town" screen does not include a vertical scrollbar for the list of Worlds.

So this means, that with a big enough monitor+GPU combination that supports the maximum resolution EA provides, one could go as high as possible until the screen cuts it off. My fullscreen would probably be able to support a couple more, and cut me off after the 34th/35th World or so.

Hoped that helped!
