Okay, noticed something else today. I stay mostly on the beach side of town though I do like to mingle downtown sometimes Anyway, I noticed that the lights weren't working at the stadium when my sim would perform concerts. I went into edit town and added lights to each location she could perform at including adding 2 additonal lights to the stadium (just to test a theory). Anyway, the lights worked at all locations EXCEPT at the stadium. Can't figure way. I then, deleted all the lights that I had added and still the stadium lights did not work. Hmmm...not sure if they are working at the stadium for everyone else.

Someone else want to say anything about this light situation?

Note: I also noticed what I can only call a defect in the street near the theater at the beach. It looks like a triangular patch of grass which extends into the street from the theater location which gets larger as you zoom in and smaller as you zoom out the camera. Can't say that I ever saw it before. Maybe its just my computer today. I did download a lot of new clothes CC not EA's today. Could just be my system. Just thought you could zoom in and take a look. It appears on the street to the side of the theater if you are looking at the front of the theater.

Oh, and the lighthouse has NEVER worked, BUT BUT BUT....I like the lighthouse light OFF. Really, please, lets leave THAT light off. The light from the lighthouse doesn't fit into this world like it would, say, in a different world.

Okay, so let's recap. Lights not working at the stadium. Triangular patch of grass comes and goes at the beach theater.

Okay, off to play, I mean test some more

Yeah, the lights don't work during events and I have no idea why. But the road tear you've spotted has been fixed already and good to go

Okay
Well I'm off to the grocery store, the real life one hehe

Guess what? The stadium lights work now! I didn't do anything special to make them work, other than what I had mentioned before. I did leave lights at the theater near the beach, maybe that had something to do with it. I doubt that though.

Note: My girl sim was on the cliff near the beach, the one shaped like an "M" after the large house with stairs that lead to the beach. Well, there's a pretty good sized tear there. Didn't know if you knew about it.

Also, thanks for putting the diner near the stadium. My sim always comes out hungry and its nice that the dinner is right near by

Okay, I'm back to testing!

I Found a issue, At the School the School bus does not stop at the front of the School, It stops on the side. I also saw if you are going from the beach town to the downtown it will take 1 Sim hour, ( Which is fine ) Also Here is a idea, I know that in The Ambitions expansion pack they will let you add lots like in the Sims 2, So if I were you there should be a little more flat land.
Other then those everything seems to be fine, Please answer these questions and concerns.

I noticed that the school bus lets the kids off at the side of the school too. NO PROBLEM! They still get to school just fine and schools in "real-life" let you off at different spots around schools, some in the back, front or side.

Oh and to the poster above me, I'm sorry I didn't copy your name and I don't recall what it was but, you can find some flat land near the area Coasterboi designated as farmland. Its off to the side in its own area. Maybe he will change the landscaping, but I think its great the way it is. I hope he doesn't change it too much, not when so many people are so excited with his current vision.

I love this world so much that I won't even change the floorplans to the homes he's built. My daughter thinks I'm being silly, but I think things are great, and if there's a floorplan I'm not completely satisfied with, "I look for a differnt house in town."

I expect the Ambitions update will add store/workplaces. What else could there be to add to this place (a laundry mat is also coming with Ambitions).


Note: Coasterboi: I found a tear near the condos,crap, I didn't get the address.
It is the one with about 7 others that all make a cirle around the public pool. It is the first condo that you pass when you enter the area. I think it said unit2, but I'm not sure. Anyway, the tear is at the entrance to the condo. My sims are living in it and the tear is noticeable when you are entering. The tear grows as you bring the camera in and goes away as you zoom the camera out.

Also, I think someone mentioned it before but I don't know if it was the same house re: missing mailbox and garbage can. Again I don't have the address, but it is the smaller home across the street from the high school track field. Couldn't find it anywhere when my sims moved in. I don't think they will miss the bills but they won't receive there certificates when they reach level 10 of anything without a mailbox

Okay, back to testing...I sure which I could show you how I've decorated some of these places but the loader was still acting up
I haven't checked for a couple of days, maybe they fixed it.

Did you know that there is a preview of Ambitions at the gamespot website? They play the game and you are able to see at least 6 new tags that I noticed. Firestation, laundry mat, restaurant, salon, dress shop, and junk yard. I think those were the tags I saw. If anyone else knows for sure please correct me.

Sure hope we have space in town for all of these new places without sacraficing anything.

What i'm really hoping for is a max 255 floors cheat like in the sims 2 so I can build true skyscrapers.

Here is the link to the latest gamespot review/demo for Ambitions.

Is there a download link?

Yes the download is on the first page, It says Download Here.
Also Coasterboi I found a issue, I forgot the address but its the Most expensive Mansion at the beach area? Well my Sim was visiting it and she had a hard time getting to it, he went to the beach and was walking up to it then turned around and did the same thing.

The screen keeps getting stuck at the edges of the world.

Sunirose, that is not unusual in big worlds. I just back up a tiny bit or move a bit right or left and I get unstuck. But I have several big world made by CAW that do the same thing and have even gotten the same thing happen at certain spots in Sunset Valley too.

I see what your saying Writin_Reg but the problem is Red County lots are built close in some areas to the edges of the world which makes getting stuck perhaps more common than other worlds that are just as large but the lots aren't that close to the edges of the map, so getting stuck in a world you don't have to play near the edge is more of a rare occurence.
