  1. I don't seem to be able to download the populated version of Saaqartoq :( I download & install the populated pack and when I play the game, nobody's there!
    Apart from that, the world looks great and I simply love the idea! Great job ;)

    1. Hi! I've just downloaded and installed the English populated version to see if the sims were missing, but they were there. I selected a family and everything went just fine.
      I don't know what's happening in your case... Are you sure you downloaded the populated version? I don't understand it :/

    1. I was able to download Barcelona and Emporda but not Saaqartoq, so sad, it's my favorite :( Maybe there is a problem with the links or OneDrive?

      Eliminar
    2. Hmm... but where do you have the problem, when you try to download from OneDrive? Or when you try to install the world through the launcher?
      If it's the first one, maybe you can try it with another browser. If it's the second one, do you have all the required EPs? Do you have any mod or bad CC that could be causing it?

    3. Did you do anything different this time? Everything seems correct for you to install the world, maybe it's just a matter of trying... I hope you can figure it out! Good luck :)

  5. By the way, is it possible to upload CAW files for this world? I would like to make some minor changes (like to add a couple of lots, so that they will have an address) just for myself. Guess some people are looking forward to it too, and they won't reupload it anywhere.

    1. Hi, you can edit any world you want in CAW. You just need to follow one of these methods: http://modthesims.info/t/469942
      Let me know if it works for you :)

    2. When I tried this, there was an error when importing so I couldn't make the copy of your world.

  6. Hello am sorry idk if this the right place to ask but i downloaded your world and it's Amazing Thank you sooo much <3 But i have a problem the bridges aren't showing up in my game and my sim having problem going to the other side what am i missing for it??

    Respuestas
    1. Hi :) I used two kinds of bridges: one from Late Night, and two from World Adventures. I guess you miss one of this expansions. If you do, you will find a lot more objects that are not showing up.

    1. Hi Muriel, thanks for your comment :)
      Are you trying to import the sims3pack files directly? Or even a converted .package file?
      If so, you need to do it differently. There is only one way that I know of for editing premade worlds in CAW. You can find it in this tutorial on Modthesims: http://modthesims.info/t/469942

      I hope it helps! Let me know if it works :)

    2. Hi Nilxis,thank you for your answer...I know that tuto and have already edited many worlds this way without any problems.
      Fortunately I found a way on the Web to avoid the error message and import it into Caw:

      PSA: Importing worlds into CAW via s3pe ‘import from package’ doesn’t work anymore because a patch broke it

      S3PE will throw an error and cannot import all of the files, aborting it prematurely.

      Workaround for this is the following:

      Open the world you want to import in S3PE. Make a folder on your desktop labeled ‘import this’ or similar.

      Go to the menu Resource > Export > To File… and save the contents of the world package into the ‘import this’ folder.

      Once that’s done close it and open up your blank world file from CAW.

      Go to the menu Resource > Import > From File… and go into the ‘import this’ folder and select ALL of the files in that folder (you can just ctrl+A it).

      Import as usual through the import dialogue.

      Importing from a package itself doesn’t work anymore because S3PE can no longer access all of the resource names. Even if it did save it instead of aborting it, it’d have been a borked file unopenable in CAW.

      Perhaps it will help other people with the same problem...

      It's a real pleasure to find and play with such beautiful worlds without CC...Thank you again...I wish the best for you.
      Muriel.

  11. Thank you a lot for this one:D This is my all time favourite world to play so far. It's very unique with it's landscape and terrain paints and you managed not to make it too dark (I love how the light changes during the day and night, especially that pinkis hue, much like in Sunlit Tides). I constantly change that 'inthemiddleofnowhere' campsite to a house for my sims (best lot with a view I've seen in TS3). Great idea with the tomb in the ruins. Have you considered making a world of New Zealand in the future (like some small village settled in a certain landscape, sucha big map)? I think it could look fantastic.

    1. Hi, thank you so much for your comment! (And sorry for the late response!)
      Ah that lot is a great place for a house, it sure does have great views :)
      About a New Zealand world, I don't know what I will do in the future, but I don't think I'll go back to making worlds based on real places. But New Zealand has lots of amazing landscapes, so maybe I'll find some inspiration for a future fantasy world, or some part of it.

    1. YES! Good eye :) I took a lot of inspiration from it, the layout, the port and the way the bay is shaped is very similar. The church and some other lots too, and the name of course!

  13. hey love the world except mine seems much darker than the images you've shown? what can i do to make it brighter?

    Respuestas
    1. Hello, without seeing a picture I can't really tell what could be going on. Does it happen only in Saaqartoq or in other worlds too? Have you installed any lighting mod that looks dark? If you have, you can remove it to see Saaqartoq's original lighting, which is the one from Aurora Skies. It's the first time I hear about this, and my pictures are not edited, it's strange... If you want to send me some pictures you can send me an e-mail through the "contacto" page here in this blog, thanks.

  14. I came by to say that this world is absolutely amazing. It is the most beautiful custom world I've ever seen. And the size is just right - runs perfectly smooth on my PC, has everything a sim needs.
    The only issue I have is that lots of sims get stuck, I get "unroutable sim found" all the time from Nraas. One particular mixologist gets stuck multiple times a day, but I can't figure out why - I checked all spots where mixologists appear and they are all fine. It's no big deal since Nraas resets stuck sims.
    Amazing job. I don't want to play any other world.

    2. Some extra sims tend to spawn in apartment building in center. Basically they can spawn inside room without doors on first floor, so they can't leave.
      P.S. I too think that this world is really gorgeous.

  15. So happy this world still is up for download. Got bored with TS4 and started playing TS3 instead, and remembered how I used to love this world. Thanks.
