Default Things I've Seen/Heard/Read About in The Sims 3: Sunlit Tides
Now, we have somewhere to post everything, so we can leave the seasons thread alone. And I'm addicted to lists.

Didn't think I've do one for a world, but... whatever...



Welcome to Sunlit Tides!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A modern downtown gives way to a lush jungle sprinkled with exotic bungalows and waterfront vacation homes nestled between the gentle waves of the ocean and a sun kissed lagoon. Enjoy a picnic on the beach, plan a secret rendezvous at an island waterfall, or cozy up to a loved one in the shade of a palm tree and watch the sun sink into the sea. Will your Sims find true love, or just have fun trying?

My first thought, after seeing that bed, was...oh yeah, some secluded outdoor woohoo! But then I saw the other bed right next to it.

Beautiful bed, though. Matches the island well.

Ah, you succumbed to the urge of making a thread for this! Those screenshots are just dribble inducing! That waaater!

You must gather your party before venturing forth.

GOOD LORD THOSE SUNSETS. :D

All-caps are over. It might be worth it on eye-candy value alone.

I'm wondering if it'll come with a unique magical item like the last few Store worlds. Alien crystals, fountain of youth, wishing well...

Some kind of enchanted statue/idol to match the island architectural style, perhaps?

Something relatively normal and useful would be great. I'd love a massage table. :p

The keep saying "vacation" in these worlds - at least provide vacation content lol

I wonder...if you can swim to the islands? Can you now route to islands with routable paint if you swim to them?

Yes, I read on SimVIP that the islands are only accessible by swimming to them.

I still feel like I'll need to put my Sims in Nanosuits if they want to fit in.

Meh...It's okay. I would buy it if it was a new World's Adventure world (without using Traveller). But I don't think it's going to be worth the amount they're probably going to be asking for. I did get Lucky Palms which I love (because of the Casino mainly), but a world has to have a premium items I MUST have in order to purchase one. So I guess I'll see what kind of bang I'll be getting for my buck. Because right now, it looks kind of average.

It sounded good, right up to the point of being like Barnacle Bay. If it is anything like that personally despised world, I'll be pissed. Maybe the premium item will be a working volcano.

I just can't get over this world, It's so Freaking Gorgeous. The only thing I'm confused so far is the town's description. I wonder if the town will be labeled as a Downtown like in Bridgeport or a suburb since weather won't affect Vacation worlds?

I wrote that because they're both islands in the tropics. Don't take that too seriously.

And I just realized that a working volcano would be friggin fantastic for world builders, but that'd mean destruction and EA isn't very fond of that lol

You can connect divewells all across a world.

Nope, you can use a dive well to get from one lot to another.

A new EA world? Well that's great.

I have not even had the chance to play Lucky Palms yet.

We all have to look for answers somewhere. Some in big ol' books, others in big ol' bottles of whiskey.

This world looks gorgeous! The colors are just beautiful and unless it ends up being really small, I'm thinking this will be my favorite world. I thought nothing could top Lucky Palms, but it looks like this one might be better. I hope they give us a hammock. This world would be a perfect one to have a hammock in. A volleyball set or metal detector like in TS1 would be awesome as well.

100x better than the Barnacle Bay! Look very suitable with Seasons EP.

If this is to be a real tropical vacation world, I hope they give us some special plants to smoke.......in the bubble machine, of course.
#25 Old 16th Aug 2012 at 2:38 AM
0.0 Gorgeous.... This world looks like a remote island in my country lol

I'd like this as vacation spot in WA rather than residential living on there
Definitely will be going better with Seasons finally swimming in the sea while enjoying the view!!! Woohooooooooo
