I can't see all my towns. Solved, thanks for the help.
« on: March 25, 2012, 07:09:13 PM »
I have alot of towns but I can see them because the town thingy does scroll down. The thing that is weird is I haven't download any lately, so all the towns i have have been there for a while. The only problem is I can't see alot of them now, where before I could.

Have you done a factory reset lately or a reinstall?   If you did, did you remember to reinstall the downloaded ones?

Yep I did but I can't see official worlds either like Sunset Valley or Starlight Stores.

When you try to make a new game, have you tried to use your mouse wheel to scroll down the list instead of using the scrollbar to see if they appear.

Yep I did, even that would select a town, but not go down.

Have you exited and restarted the game?  Do you see any town at all?

Also, I'm moving this to the Technical Help board.

Yes I have restarted the game, I can see some towns but not all I have all. Sunset Valley, Riverview and Twinbrook are missing.

I would guess too many.   ;D

Those towns missing are at the bottom of the alphabet.  The game can only display so many towns.  If you move some of your worlds out, you will make space for the others to show.

You must have double downloaded the towns. Go to your Electronic Arts > Sims 3 > Installed Worlds folder and see if you have more than 1 of every world?

I guess I did lol, to get rid of the extra towns all I have to do is delete the extra towns right?
Edit: When I uninstalled the base game and reinstalled it it may have done it.
Edit: It worked I can see all my towns again, and to answer your question samoht04, 18 not including the EA worlds that I have. Thanks to everyone for helping me out.

Wow, that is a lot of towns. The reason I asked was also I heard someone said they drop off the list if you have too many and EA hasn't added a scroll.
