Re: Moonwood Mill map and selection is there twice

@Summerxena and @deceamber  You can try loading a backup version of any affected save:

@psychoticbagel  The Werewolves pack is GP12.  In case it helps, here are instructions for how to disable a pack:

@barbedwirebutch  Please try the other suggestions in the thread, and test in a new save as well, or at least a save you never loaded with the issue present.  If that helps, you can try recovering a backup version of any affected save, as above.

@psychoticbagel Go to your game in the Game Library>right-click Game Properties>Advanced Launch Options> input the code "-disablepacks:GP12" (minus the quotations) into Command line arguments. This will launch your game without launching the werewolf pack. After you've opened your old save and saved and closed the Sims 4, remove the command line and your game will launch with the Werewolf pack and  (hopefully) one Moonwood Mill.

Yeah that doesnt work either. - I just got too annoyed and deleted all the saves and started from scratch LOL now i only have one moonwood mill in all worlds. I copied all families and homes from my old worlds and brought them into my new saves so. Not the solution i would have liked, but waiting for EA to fix this would take years.

Re: Two Moonwood Mill worlds?

I also had two Moonwood Mill worlds in a save I opened after installing the werewolf pack. When I saw this, I closed the game, removed mods and save folders and repared the game through Origin.

 

Reparing seems to fix the problem for the other saves (the ones I didn't open before reparing show only one Moonwood Mill), but for the save in which I first noticed the problem, it's still there, even after reparing.

Mine is not there at all. Like I cant pick moonwoodmill in world selection. There's no option for it.

@Gabbynel Are you using mods ? If not, try repairing your game.

@puzzlezaddict i tried to factory file reset and the initial solution, neither worked. a brand new save does fix the problem, so i'll try recovering an older save...

@puzzlezaddicttrying to recover a back up version of the affected save won't work, i don't have a recovery far back enough. all my recent backups are from since i installed the new pack. i could try the disabling the pack thing, but i'm really scared it'll * up the sims i already turned into werewolves.

also a mac user having this problem. i've tried all the suggested fixes, short of disabling the pack in my game, which i'm too scared to do because i've already made werewolves out of some of my sims and don't want to lose them.
