There's no mod, I've tried going to brookheights through the mailbox and I just end up at the willow creek hospital, I've tried starting up the brookheights story mode save and it says something about a world not being installed? I don't know if there's a conflicting mod I have installed or if I didn't install it correctly but I do not know what to do.

I'm having issues being unable to use the ladder and reaching Frank's Boat at Magnolia Promenade. To make sure it was just this mod giving me issues I removed all other CC. Also when traveling to another lot the squares in the UI to display other sims joining me is glitchy as well as the portrait of the sim I'm currently traveling with.

Since this mod is no longer being maintained I did find a way to work around the boat issue. This involves enabling testing cheats and setting the boat as a head object, that way you can go on the next step of the quest. The UI is still glitchy to look at though so it's a question of whether you want to continue from there on or not. I got to a certain point and was then stumped on what to do next, don't know if it was down to a bug or if I just got lost.

I am not getting through. Google drive is saying access denied. Nothing from there.
