This world looks amazing and please believe me when I say, your post was not TLDR. You just put this all together so well. It's so organized and impressive! I would download this world even if it looked awful (which it doesn't!) just because your presentation is also amazing.

One question, I don't suppose you have any information to share with us about beautiful vista moodlets in the world? I'm mainly interested in knowing if there are any residential/empty lots that provide the moodlet.

In any case, thanks for sharing this. It is awe inspiring.

Such a beautiful world, Armiel! You've really outdone yourself this time! (and I thought Finnington was pretty ...) BTW, any info you're willing to share on spawners? Which ones do you have? Also, any "wild" plants?

Hello,

My computer doesn't seem to handle large Sims 3 worlds very well. I am not sure why, despite my computer being rather recent.

Anyway, I was looking for a new medium-sized home for my Sims, I found your addy this morning, and I must say it looks very enticing ^^

I especially appreciate that you paid attention to the routing, and still managed to make the whole look very pleasant to the eye, presented in a package that some professionals (look at me, EA, yes) could take a lesson from.

I would like to try it out please, but when I try to combine the archive files, it says that my resulting file is corrupted or something. I tried downloading twice now, but I got the same message again when using 7z to uncompress.

Is there another way for me to get your world, perhaps on websites like mediafire , without the files being split ?

If it is not possible, I would understand.

In any case, thank you for sharing with us what seems to be a labor of love of yours.

Spawner info is on the main post, and you can also see the location of many in the lot placement picture. No "wild" plants, but there are some garden plants on the nectary and seeds all around the map.


Kittenpaw Please try the install method 2 (on main post). I just downloaded the files myself, and at least that one works.

This is absolutely gorgeous. The screenshots are phenomenal. I love how the industrial section is a bit isolated from the more beautiful areas. The lots are fantastic as well, though I expected nothing less. Your work is always a treat to see.

It's so great to see your Charlton Island finally uploaded here, armiel! You definitely deserve this as the world is stunning! I've got only one question - do I have to download the files if I had the last beta file downloaded before? Thanks in advance for the answer. :-)

Great job, my dear!
