About the missing lots, yes they are listed on my blog, but as an exception to the included ones which are all the others

Moving on to another subject, I was reading the Creator Gudelines for Sims 3 worlds and I think Barcelona meets most of the demanded requirements, but I'm not very sure about some of them. For example:

- Barcelona uses more than 8 textures in almost all chunks, and quite a lot of textures in general.
- It includes deco buildings which are conversions from Microsoft Flight Simulator, would these be accepted?
- I guess the merged CC file I always upload to make the installation easier somehow goes against the rules... I can make a list for each item, but I think some of them are no longer available in the creator's origninal site (Luna's objetcs, Suzetter's produce stands)
- I'm not sure the sims I created meet the requirements, I'm not really good at creating sims. Some of them are quite random.

That's pretty much it. If some of the moderators or someone experienced in uploading creations here can guide me a little with this I'll appreciate it


My Stranda used more than 8 textures as well, it wasn't a problem. Installation on mts is troublesome for both creator and downloader, but the creators must have their creds. When it comes to Luna it's a well known issue, and they haven't killed my thread yet, so I guess it's ok. It very much depends on the creators rules, if you have permission it shouldn't be a problem. Each file need it's own description though. Yea Sims I don't know, I made them with mts strickt rules in mind for Stranda and made pictures of each and everyone, I think it was 5 I needed. If it isn't accepted I guess you can limit it to the unpopulated I guess.

You can take a look at what I did for Stranda if you like and copy a bit: http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=516078

You should start getting in contact with the moderators though. What they asked me to do was to make two threads in the creator issues forum. One that will be your upload and keep it clean, and one that will be just for chatting. Make sure you label them right. Then you can just start chatting with them about texts and requirements etc. Much easier to get a grip that way, they might even have some help to offer you. They helped me out with the text for my download.

Don't forget that they need to check out your world as well, so giving them the file as an attachment in the upload thread quite early might be a good idea.

Stranda's post looks quite complete, I'll use it as a reference.
Thanks for the tips

Can some of our simmers try this out as an NRaas traveler world please and give feedback on how it goes? There must be some people who have tried this by now as this hood is of a real high quality. We need the feedback.

I've tried it as a Traveler world and I've found the same issue as you, the game treated it as a University world. I deleted the UNKN file and it still happened the same... so weird. Should I release a non-city type version with a base camp, is it worth it?.

Can you travel to Bridgeport with Traveler in the normal sense, or is that also treated as a Uni world? If not, then it should be possible. Would it be a lot of extra work to release a non-city version with a basecamps for Traveler users? All you have to change is the worldtype and add the camp, correct? Of course, you would lack the taxis, but that's a small sacrifice. Besides, Barcelona doesn't have American Yellow cabs If you're up for it, I think that would be a wonderful service, but I understand if you don't want to mess about with it again, not after all the problems it has already given you

It happens the same if I travel to Bridgeport.
I think I'm just gonna release new versions not flagged as a city, to add a Base Camp and change some lot types that seem to be messed up. I know a lot of you prefer it to be a travel destination rather than a city Then, if someone wants the world to be a city, it's very easy to import the UNKN file with S3PE to the .world fine inside the Installed Worlds folder.

I think that's a wonderful solution, and a great fan service!

I guess the difference between a city and a place with a basecamp is a city don't have that many wild animals. Is there any other differences?

More hood-view traffic. There was an issue with suburb hoods not having as many people in clubs and bars compared to Bridgeport but there are various fixes out there but my nightclubs are still lifeless, and I've tried every trick in the book.

Hey, the new files are exported and work fine. I'm uploading them
I'll keep all the links so you'll be able to choose between city or suburb+base camp.

I think Twallan's Traffic Manager mod might help with the Taxi issue: http://nraas.wikispaces.com/Traffic+Phase+Six

I've installed the Traveler version now. Made a few little personal changes and am having a ball exploring it. Thanks Nilxis, I will make a sim of you and give him a hot girlfriend and a nice house down there as a thank you. Kudos.
Also that trick that you do...with the ikea sign and that, buy mode objects customised for a single hood, it's clever and creative. It dawned on me that this trick could be sort of used for communist posters, to make a communist hood (north korea/china/russia)

Just to say there is a nasty bug when you try and walk or drive under the grey bridge so you may wanna hold back until this is rectified.

That's right, it happens to any road going under a bridge, and it cannot be fixed. I did have it mind when I placed the bridge.
It's just a visual bug though, routing still works fine and there's no risk of cars or sims getting stuck. If you don't mind the weird animation there's nothing to worry about
