Default No Twinbrook
I'm not really sure if I'm allowed to post threads like this.

Actually I just learned of a neighborhood known as Twinbrook a while ago. I've searched and saw some installation problems with some other people, but not me.

My problem however's that Twinbrook fails to appear when I try to start a new game on the main menu. The only neighborhoods available are Sunset Valley, Riverview, and Bridgeport (I didn't download Barnacle Bay). Checked the Caches folder of Ambitions. It does have the Twinbrook.objectCache file. I just wonder how I could activate it in my game.

I'd definitely appreciate anyone's help! I can even post a screenshot.

Can you see the .World file in program files/electronic arts/sims 3/ambitions/nonpackaged folder? Try an unistall to reinstall ambitions.

Hmm, I can't. Okay, but I still need to find my CD. I'll get back with some news later. Thanks!

(I'm sorry, but I just had to double-post.)

That's strange. My CD installs just fine, but Twinbrook still fails to show up. And I don't see that .World file in that /nonpackaged folder which also does not exist.

I have to say this is the weirdest problem I've seen on here so far! So you installed Ambitions, from the official CD, and yet a major component of the game isn't present?

Are any other Ambitions items missing? Do you have the new content in terms of objects and Create-A-Sim stuff? Do you have all the new careers? Look through your game manual and sites such as Sims Wikia and Carl's Sims 3 Guide to check what you should have!

I'm sure you need to do some sort of uninstall/reinstall, but I don't know if there is anything special you'd need to do. What other EPs/SPs do you have for Sims 3? What patch level are you on for each of them?

Yeah, that is strange!!! I've never seen this before!!!!! It may be a problem with the disk itself, a scratch or even been corupted. My next step would to try a diffrent disk but I wouldn't want to fork out for it again!!!!! You know anyone who has Ambitions you could borrow a disk off of just to double check or even try installing it on another pc. We need to eliminate the disk before looking at other issuses I think.

Try cleaning the disc as shown here:

Before reinstalling. It sounds like the computer isn't reading the disc correctly. You could also try a local install, as outlined here:

Have to apologize since I've been offline for a couple of days.

Well, I do have Ambitions content all right. Got the Inventing skill, some outfits and all that jazz. But checking the sims of Twinbrook on the wiki, I did see an old lady with a pink cloche hat. And that cloche hat doesn't appear in my game.

Unfortunately, I hardly know anyone with an original CD in my place. And my disk is pretty clean. Also, I've got World Adventures, Late Night, and Fast Lane installed. And my patch level as seen in my launcher is 6.0.81.009001

I'll try installing the game manually and give the disk a little wiping. And on a side note, I want that cloche hat. I'll be back with news. Thanks guys!

@AGFbydesign since your problem is similar but prerequisites are different (digital download) opening your own post is advisable! dont forget to provide the helpers with as much information you can give them on your problem. if you jump on someone elses post it only leads to confusion and that is helping no-one actually. so dont hesitate to start your own thread here in Sims 3 Help Section.
