Introduction
Twinbrook being one of the earlier towns to release it needed some updating to use more pack features. I went and updated the town with some new lots that made sense for the type of town Twinbrook is to make sure the unique feel and vibe of Twinbrook is kept in tact while updating it with some new things.



Changes Made
  • Fixed a Routing issue were sims would walk across the lake in the centre of town to get to the beach lot. This was caused due to the lot not having any roads attached to the lot I fixed this by adding in some side walks.
  • Made changes to some road types in town so it made more sense visually and lore wise for Twinbrook as its meant to be not as well off as other towns. No more side walks all the way to the old lookout that is in the middle of no where.
  • Added in some other expansion pack lots that make sense for the location of Twinbrook.
  • Fixed a spawner being placed in a place where sims are not able to go.
  • Fixed Several un-linked roads.
  • Hopefully fixed some lag caused by pets from the pets expansion pack in the swamp areas trying to cross small bodies of water with taxi boats.
  • Added level skip markers to some lots with lots of floors to make it quicker to go down levels in these lots.
  • Added in mosquito spawners around the world were they would make sense.
  • Gave a makeover to some of the already existing community lots.

F.A.Q.
Q: Are the Store, Mods and CC required for the world to function?
A: No! The items will be replaced with base game items if they are not present but for the full experience they are recommended.

Q: How do I install a Mods folder for the game?
A: Information on how to install a Mods folder can be found HERE.

Q: Is the world populated with the original Sims that came with the world?
A: Unfortunately no, maybe in the future I might include a save file with all of the original families included.

Q: I started a new game and the world is empty!
A:Download the latest version of the world as now the world file has all of the lots present.

Q: Some objects on community lots have duplicated inside themselves!
A: To fix this bug I enter Build/Buy Mode then back to live mode the objects will fix themselves after doing this. Easiest way is to have "testingcheatsenabled true" enabled then shift clicking the lot and then "Buy on this lot". Next enter live mode again.
