How to uninstall a world & all it's contents!? Empty How to uninstall a world & all it's contents!?

I've tried b4 by going into the launcher & just pressing uninstall world, but it's not completely uninstalled b/c of the individual objects that came with it in the installed panel... (like trees, wallpapers etc.)

How does one figure out which objects came with a specific world!?

... Or do I just have to uninstall everything then reinstall what I want to keep!? Wat. 




I want to uninstall Hidden Springs btw

Actually due to crappy design of The Sims launcher, you might have to make a more tedious effort to search and delete the world and the custom content that comes with the world.

Personally, I think you have to keep a list (yes in .txt or .doc(x). Just to keep a record what you have everytime you install a world, so as to track down the stuff and delete the things you want to delete.

However, if it's really messy, I strongly recommend you to delete all and start over.

Hello,

That's the first time I've heard that you also have to delete/un-install other things "that came along with the installed world" (separately from the actual world); but if you say so, I guess it's true then. Smile  (I guess I'm not an expert when it comes to all sorts of custom content, lol).

To safely remove the world, you could also go to My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/InstalledWorlds, and then delete the file Hidden Springs.world.


As for the items that came with it, I'm equally unsure. As they don't take too much filespace, I would actually leave the items as they are - but maybe someone else has a better idea.

Hello,

As far as I know, there is no other way to uninstall them then uninstalling from the installed content tab from launcher by clicking them one by one.

And it's such a agony as mostly you don't know which item came with which world. Sad
