Can't find Bridgeport world file
« on: July 08, 2021, 12:07:54 AM »
Hi guys! For some reason I can't find my original Bridgeport world file in my worlds folder (see picture attached) despite having one save file with a family in that world. I wanted to download the fixed version posted on Modthesims (I haven't yet), but when I checked my Worlds folder to back up the original file I couldn't find Bridgeport. So I can't even start step 1 of this world replacement lol.

Is there any other file path that would contain the original world files apart from Steamapps > Common > The Sims 3 > Gamedata > Shared > NonPackaged > Worlds? If not, is there anything I can do on my side to make the world file appear in that folder? Any help on this would be really appreciated~

The path is this:

Steamapps > Common > The Sims 3 > EP03 > Gamedata > Shared > NonPackaged > Worlds

I know, I checked that file path already (as shown in the screenshot above in the original post)  :-\ But when I check the folder is only has the Sunset Valley world, and another two files named "GPE8_Future.world" and "SWE7UniversityTest.world" which is so strange. I have the packs installed too and one save file where I loaded a family in Bridgeport, so I know the world is there, the world file is just not where it's supposed to be which is very odd

Oops I just realised why, and I feel so stupid now ahaha! I thought all the worlds files were compiled into one folder (Sims 3 > Gamedata > Shared > Nonpackaged > Worlds), but it's actually separated into their EP folders (Sims 3 > EP3 > Gamedata > Shared > Nonpackaged > Worlds).

My bad, the probelm's solved now, just me taking instructions from Modthesims too literally!

Well, if you look carefully, I actually did include EP03 in my direction...
