Official MediaFire alternative OUT NOW! (Link + Feedback)
First topic message reminder :
-You can now also report your problems with our Download Server quickly via: http://games4theworlddownloads.org/report-a-problem.html -
Hello everyone,
The moment you've all been waiting for: we've finally released our MediaFire alternative, in the form of a completely new website: www.games4theworlddownloads.org
As you might have noticed already, this website is still work-in-progess, meaning that a lot of pages and some download links are still missing. We decided to do a beta release, so you guys could give us feedback on how to improve it. We'll be adding the missing pages and download links over time, so be sure to check back daily.
In this topic we'll gather all your feedback and - if possible - implement the new feature(s) in the next website update. Please also let us know about the download speed and the page loading speed.
So please keep the feedback coming!
In order to make things easier, please do provide a link to the page and a screenshot of the problem, if possible.
Known problems/improvements:
- Overall layout is too wide for some computer screens (Let us know how it looks on your screen and include your resolution/screen size!) FIXED!
- Add a "Back to top" button FIXED! (Thank you for the image, Lady ElDi!)
- December 2011 page will be fixed soon FIXED!
- Host images on own server, instead of linking to other websites (E.g. ServImg) FIXED!
- Change menu style (And colour, if needed) FIXED!
- Change line height + font size FIXED!
- Banner broken on this page. FIXED!
- Some split files broken? See this post. (this set, for example) FIXED!
- Being more specific about file format, see this post. FIXED!
- HJ split guide requested. FIXED! (Got rid of all the split files)
- This set fails to install. FIXED!
- Adding a "limited edition stuff" category. FIXED!
- Making banners "fit to scale", if possible. See this post. FIXED!
- Some links are broken, see this post. FIXED! (Use a different browser, for example Google Chrome - See yellow warning on homepage)
- More broken links, see this post. FIXED!
- Line-height should be increased on some pages FIXED!
- Add "COMPLETE year" downloads, to download everything from a specific year at once (Will be added once the website is finished)
- Disable Mac elastic scrolling, see:
IF YOU HAVE ANY FEEDBACK, PLEASE COLLECT ALL YOUR FEEDBACK FIRST AND THEN POST EVERYTHING AT ONCE, instead of making a new post for every piece of feedback. Thank you!
Update:
We have abandoned the old "games4theworld.org" site, though as long as it is still online you can use it to grab some (store) items for The Sims 3. In the meantime, here is an alternative source for individual store items:
https://www.games4theworld.club/t34210-all-games4theworld-individual-the-sims-3-store-items
https://www.games4theworld.club/t34210-all-games4theworld-individual-the-sims-3-store-items
And here a torrent for the complete store collection:

'touchmove',
function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
},
false
);

What text is cut of on the "Store Fixes" page? Screenshot, perhaps?
Cut off in what way? Can you show a screenshot of that, please? (Working fine on my side)

Re: Official MediaFire alternative OUT NOW! (Link + Feedback)
By the way on the contact us page:
- Forum……...: & Email……...: doesn't need that many periods.
- this line: 'Live Support: http://www.games4theworld.org (Read THIS, please)' is redundant as the live support info is located below it.
- 'Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/games4theworld' can be changed to Twitter: http://twitter.com/games4theworld'
- Our Live Support has 3 departments:
Technical Staff: for if you’re having problems with our downloads. (Or anything else)
TeamViewer: see below.
only has 2 departments listed?
- <-- this logo is way above its area.

Re: Official MediaFire alternative OUT NOW! (Link + Feedback)
Well, regardless, I think G4TW did an outstanding job. Granted there are some problems and other issues that some folks can't seem to over-look :Pbut at least give these people some credit for putting up the site.
Throughout the last few months people were hounding Admin and the others about the new site and now that it's here??
Could we at least say something positive as well as the negative? Instead of going right to critiquing mode? They do provide us with free and safe stuff and they really don't have to?
So come on, guys and gals, can we show our gratitude as well, please? It is the polite thing to do.

We are trying to help here by giving feedback. I'm not saying this website is terrible or anything but I know from experience that getting feedback on your website from 'outsiders' is extremely helpful, especially when there are bugs in the code which you haven't discovered yet. So please consider my posts as trying to help.

Thank you for your resolution! If you could also post a screenshot of how it looks on that resolution, that would be great!

I really like how there are pictures and descriptions of the package files. There's many times where I'll forget what items are in them since the package names tend to be different from the Sims 3 store name.
Thanks Admin!

Re: Official MediaFire alternative OUT NOW! (Link + Feedback)
The logo and font size also looks way too big to me. My screen is 1440 x 900. Using Google Chrome. And the logo picture is broken when you click the Sims 3 link on the left. I guess you aren't even supposed to be clicking that. But I was click happy and it opened a page. Here's the page Link.
I like the basic color scheme but the orange on the popup menus is kind of overpowering. Nothing to worry about if you like it, just saying.
I downloaded a few files and the speed was great. I only have a 6mb/sec dl speed but it was maxed.
And thank you by the way. We really do appreciate what you guys are doing.

Hmm, I didn't actually expect this...
You know I was kidding about sky-writting your name right?
Not that this isn't great, thanks!

Hey,
This is fantastic and how awesome are you guys in fixing things so quick? *hands out cookies*
My only issue is the HJSplit program. I can open it just fine, join files just fine...but then what? How do I get the new joined file into the game?

Same here but only with some of the files like the Rococo_Set, I joined the files but after i couldn't install them. It worked fine with Dragon Valley Gold Edition.

Yes, this! I am so happy to have a website to use to d/l items as you're able to build pages around the d/ls instead of just file sharing. FANTASTIC!
One question I do have (and forgive me if this is too similar to the above) - why are some of the downloads split into as many as 6 parts? Is it because of the size? If they're all .rars it seems like they could be compressed enough, but maybe I'm wrong. Also, if the solution has to be that they are split, can you correct the format descriptions for each neighborhood below the d/l table (for instance, on this page: http://www.games4theworlddownloads.org/ts3/neighbourhoods.html) to match what we're actually d/ling?
i.e. Maybe on "Aurora Skies Gold Edition" it says "Format: multiple .rar files (Open and extract using WinRAR, and join files using HJSplit.)
(bolded my additions)

Once you said that DV worked, I tried that one, and did get it to work, same with the MedWedSet, those combined just fine. Rocco did not. I figured it out on my end.
For anyone else wondering how to install, once you join the split parts, it should combine them into a single .sims3 pack, easy to install from there. I've been extracting the .rar files into a new folder on my desktop and listing that as my Input folder, and the output folder as another new folder, then moved into the launcher/downloads folder upon being joined.
EDIT: DV installed just fine into the game via the launcher, however the MedWedSet failed. The launcher gives me no details as to why, it just said Failed. I've tried more than once.

Re: Official MediaFire alternative OUT NOW! (Link + Feedback)
Yes!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I just wanted to say that I like the site. Been waiting on this ever since mediafire took it down. The pictures of the objects are really nice to see in case I forget what's in them. Oh, and the color's just fine with me. Heck, it could be black and white and look like crap and I'd still be happy with it. (Which it doesn't by the way.) You guys are awesome!!!!
//EDIT
I don't think they have everything uploaded yet. Give them a little and I'm sure they'll get things in order. I think they just wanted us to know that it's up and running and that some things are there already for the ones that want them.

Re: Official MediaFire alternative OUT NOW! (Link + Feedback)
Forgot to post this with my other comment. The chocolate fountain was part of the Le Cirque Celebration! set which I think was out around February or March 2011. Maybe you can narrow it down. Also if you look on the site for HJSplit they have a manual that shows you how to use it (it's easy and has pictures). I hope this helps you!Nightdragonist wrote:Thank you for your hard work .
