Climate campaigners are calling for wealth taxes on the top 1 per cent to limit their pollution and pay for damages. The richest 1 per cent of people have already blown through their fair share of the global carbon budget for the year just 10 days into January. That’s according to a new analysis from Oxfam, which takes aim at the “lavish lifestyles” of the super-rich for fuelling the climate crisis. ‘Pollutocrat Day’, as the anti-poverty and inequality organisation has dubbed it, falls in a week marred by terrifying scenes of climate-driven devastation in Los Angeles. “The future of our planet is hanging by a thread. The margin for action is razor-thin, yet the super-rich continue to squander humanity’s chances with their lavish lifestyles, polluting stock portfolios and pernicious political influence,” says Oxfam International’s Climate Change Policy Lead, Nafkote Dabi. “This is theft - pure and simple - a tiny few robbing billions of people of their future to feed their insatiable greed.”

Pterocarpus Angolensis is a tree native to South Africa. It’s also commonly known as the bloodwood tree due to the fact that when it’s chopped or damaged, a deep red sap which looks eerily similar to blood, seeps from the tree. In fact, the purpose of the sap is to coagulate and seal the wound to promote healing, much like blood.

i love this world sm

KAIHOLA by technicallyswagpizza

“Sea and people have made the island what it is today. The island’s epic landscapes are the stuff of poetry. Sand, wind, unspoiled archipelago and the beautiful bedrock, worn smooth by glacial ice. Glistening in the afternoon sun, yellow, red and white houses cling to rocky shores and fishing boats bob in the water. The verdant pine forests turn to charming leafy tunnels, framing every view. Time stops, people live a quiet life here.”

Kaiho is a word that is a bit more difficult to translate as it has a certain type of melancholic nuance to it that nostalgia or longing for something doesn’t cover exactly. Kaihola is my ode to Finland, an undefinable sadness that won’t go away. The world is loosely based on two islands off the coast of Finland, Hailuoto and Ahvenanmaa, and my tiny hometown up north.

FEATURES

Medium sized map.

35 lots all in all spread across the island.

Unpopulated.

Includes a base camp enabling you to use Kaihola as a travel destination.

Spanking new distant terrain and matching terrain painting textures.

Wide variety of regular spawners, no World Advenures or ITF

Custom lighting mod included in the world file.

But wait, there is more! I have made two versions for you to choose from!

#1 Empty world // Requirements:

All expansion packs except ITF (No stuff packs!). Yikes! It’s a lot for an empty world and boy don’t I know it! I’m fairly sure I have used every other expansion except ITF for the landscaping. Some more than the others, however if you are missing an expansion pack, the trees and shrubs I have used will simply be replaced by something else.

CC used: Distant terrain, some of the flowers and trees made by me + Hidden Springs decorative barns + Aurora Skies birch tree are included in the download.

Map is completely empty, has a wide variety of spawners and is ready to be built by you.

Empty diving lot off the coast somewhere.

Two options for world installation, either through the launcher as a sims3pack OR bypass the launcher and drop the world package file in the designated folder.

Optional terrain painting textures made by me available for download if you wish to use them for landscaping your lots in game.

⇩ Download // Mirror ⇩

#2 Built and ready to move in! // Requirements:

All expansion packs except ITF (No stuff packs!)

CC used: Rabbit hole rugs by Jynx (Pet fixed), some EA store items, my distant terrain, flowers, trees, house shells and rabbit hole recolours. All included in the download.

If you don’t have some of the expansion packs or don’t want to install the EA store content provided, the items I have used will simply be replaced by something else from your own game. I cannot promise that nothing will break, but some bits might look a little bare or funky due to the replaced items!

All the lots are built and furnished, I have left 5 empty lots for you to build and fill yourself including an empty diving lot off the coast.

Recoloured and rescripted rabbit holes. That being said, Kaihola comes with basic rabbit hole careers you would get in a vanilla game.

Two options for world installation, either through the launcher as a sims3pack OR bypass the launcher and drop the world package file in the designated folder.

Optional terrain painting textures made by me available for download if you wish to use them for landscaping your lots in game.

The church deco has snow issues. To be fixed at some point in the future, maybe?

Almost there, just few more bits!

I have created a lighting mod for Kaihola and included it in the world file itself, I would recommend at least trying it out (by taking your own lighting mod out of Mods/Packages folder to see it in action)! If you like Kaihola’s lighting and want to use it in other worlds or as a standalone mod, shoot me a message and I’ll make a package for you.

In the screenshots above I have maxed out settings and Reshade enabled, but my preset is very subtle and it only adds a soft blur effect and strengthens shadows a little bit. I don’t edit my screenshots other than crop and resize them with photoshop, so basically what you see above is what you will get :>

I would strongly advise downloading Nraas Go Here and disabling boats. They will cause lag as townies have a habit of looping around with them endlessly. I’d also recommend disabling wild horses and stray pets as they tend to get stuck.

I built all the lots myself except for the following 3: A massive thank you to @silvakristiina for letting me use her de-CCd Ivars house as a base camp, I also edited a junkyard from doublemedion694′s Cladbridge-on-Stowe and the boat is an edited version of this made by @fagersims.

If you post pictures, please let me know and tag them with #Kaihola or simply @ tag me. I’d love to see any and all pictures!

Congratulations, you have reached the end credits!

Special thanks to @silvakristiina and @depistako for playtesting and giving me feedback about the feel of the world! ♡

I know it has been like 2 years now, but thank you @hydrangeachainsaw for teaching me how to make distant terrain and for all the invaluable World Machine & Blender help! And a final thanks to @grandelama for sharing the beautiful road textures and allowing me to tweak them further! (  ˊᵕˋ  )♡.°
