Default Moonlight Bay onto TS3
I was trying to see or if it was possible to port the world of the Xbox 360 version of the game into the PC version, not really, it isn't so simple unfortunately, but I did some research far and wide, but it got me nowhere, because I was trying to do something more obscure than anyone ever though to do? Most likely.

What I did: I downloaded a TS3 Xbox 360 ISO from the Internet because my physical media was lost somewhere into the oblivion and found a Paul_World.world file, lucky Paul, has a world of his own! I copied the file to The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds when I opened the game I was introduced with a Lorem Ipsum description, for the people who doesn't know, Lorem Ipsum are texts used for temporary text or as a filler text.

Trying to start a new game using that world will cause in an error.

Fatal error, spooky!
I wasn't going to give up so quickly so I tried to use TS3CAW to see if it could read, export correctly, or something else, well, didn't work because of a packed file{0} error, I learned that error comes from it being premade, so I learned how to decompile worlds using s3pe, and you look at that! Another error, now coming from a minor version, expecting 0, found '1', what I learned is that minor version 1 is a TS4 package file??? Huh??? The game wasn't even out yet! Oh, well, I couldn't move on even further from that, even tried searching using HxD. I am not feeling like continuing from this, so I won't, but if anyone more experienced than me which is pretty much anyone in this website is interested in trying it out for themselves I am leaving the download of the world (Actually, I would if the website stopped calling a guest! I am not a guest, I am here to stay!), I am very novice at making mods for TS3 and in the community here itself, so if I did any mistake that left embarrassed, feel free to comment on it, I am not going to enter this site for the next months, maybe not that long but who knows?

Almost forgot, about the Lorem Ipsum: Maybe they were going to add this world to pc or add a world description feature in the console version to add more worlds but never did, I don't know, I am just guessing now.

I think the best you're going to get is to go into it in your emulator, play the game a lot using that, and take a kajillion screenshots. Now-since you've proved willingness to use CAW- import a world that looks a little like Paul WOrld., and use your screenashots for reference to make the world look as much like Paul World as you can. When you're ready, do the same thing for the lots and the characters. It's a lot of work but you've already proven you will go to great lengths to satisfy this want!

good luck.
