#tartosa is Italy!

[pixelglam]

Hi Amelie! I have a random question! ☺️

With which countries do you associate each world of the sims?

Hello! These are what places I associate the worlds with.

San Myshuno | New York Newcrest | Not sure but I use it as San Myshuno's Suburbs Windenburg | Germany & Austria Mt. Komorebi | Japan San Sequoia | San Francisco Brindleton Bay | New England Del Sol Valley | Los Angeles Oasis Springs | Arizona Sulani | Tahiti Willow Creek | New Orleans

August, 1315: The Ezzo Farm

While much of Tartosa was spared from the worst of the famine that was rumored to be ravaging other kingdoms? The Ezzo farm was still running into difficulties. Their animals had all died out and their crops have yet to take.

It was by the grace of the Watcher that others still have been able to keep their crops and livestock alive. While their community was more than willing to help each other, however, everything would be more expensive. That combined with their taxes to the empire and tithes to the church... Would make life difficult.

On the bright side, Vanna was able to sell what they still had left over for a higher price as well as paying higher prices for the things they needed. And she also had more time for her hobbies; preparing clothes for the new baby using the time she would have spent chasing after livestock.

Speaking of her pregnancy, things were growing difficult. She'd never been pregnant before, but she wondered if it was normal to feel so dizzy and weak all of the time? To not be able to get through her simple, daily chores?

She knew many women (including her own mother) who had no such issues. . . But they also had more food on their tables. . .

She decided to keep her worries to herself. Her husband had enough on his plate and had already lost all of his children and his previous wife. She couldn't bring herself to distress him when it could be nothing.

Camper ❁ Chronicles

[ep 1 up on my youtube!]

A new let’s play series focusing on Isla Diegos, a free-spirited, travel magazine writer on a journey for self-discovery and adventure 🧘🏻‍♀️🚐 🌺

Start her story with us in her camper-home ‘Wanderer’ on the serene coastal shores of Tartosa, where I have really brought out the Italian influence with Amalfi Coast! 🍇🛵🍝🌊

I’m so excited for this series and can’t wait to delve in deeper to each world and all the new possibilities along the way 🤍

Lots of love and light,

Sims with Soul ✧

On one hand, I could not care less about the new leaked pack. On the other hand, it seems to be vaguely Asian inspired instead of USA inspired world number 789076 and I've been waiting for a world to be based on literally anywhere else on the planet for ages.

update: it's based on Thailand apparently.

[hellodahliah]

veronaburg watching esc together... it is a tradition to meet up, bring snacks and watch the thing together. at first it is all fun and chill with them bopping to the songs and crazy performances.... and it ends with a bloodbath and a sour mood when their countries entry doesn't win.

Nina Aretha’s highlights of staying in Britechester with her Auntie Priya:

having a queen sized bed all to herself

getting a bike as an early birthday present

taking a day trip down to tartosa

[messrchase]

San Vittorio, Tartosa - seen through the trellis of the garden pavilion at Strenla Hall. Honestly, this has to be my favourite world - it just screams the theme from Amarcord, while at times Addio, Amore Mio from Amore Mio Aiutami.

[nomairuins]

the world if sims 4 had more lots per world

[starry-simming]

Doing world maintenance, as one does. I’ve decided I want Brindleton Bay to represent somewhere round Cape Cod because I’m from MA, and I’m just gonna fill the place up with Irish families. Every other person in MA is Irish I swear

[vylewa]

Over the last few weeks, I have been spending my time working on my save file because I'm gearing up to start a Let's Play series on Youtube. As I've been building the stories for the characters in my save file, I started thinking about the Sims universe as a whole and how I want my Sims to travel between worlds. It got me thinking that some worlds feel like they're just a short 4-hour car ride away, while others feel like you'd need a plane to get there.

So, I decided to map out my sims universe. I got a lot of inspiration from different Reddit posts as well as the EA descriptions of each world. This has been so helpful for me as I plan out the buildings I want to place in each world. It has been so helpful with finding inspiration for creating builds. I hope you can find this helpful too.

I'm really happy about my Sims universe turned out. I'd love to hear what you think about it! Are there any worlds you disagree with me on? Also, when are we getting an African world, EA?

North America

New Crest reminds me of suburban New York, mostly because you can still the city skyline from there.

Brindleton Bay reminds me so much of New England.

San Myshuno is quite obviously New York.

Willow Creek gives me a New Orleans vibe.

Magnolia Promenade is somewhere in the south because of the name (magnolias grow in the mostly in Southern United States - Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina). I placed it close to Willow Creek for story telling purposes.

Chestnut Ridge gives me a strong Texas vibe.

Del Sol Valley is undoubtedly Los Angeles.

Oasis Springs I think of as Palm Springs with the desert and all, also the Langraabs live there.

San Sequoia I think of as San Francisco mainly because of the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay area, I have all my tech gurus living up there.

Strangerville is straight up Area 51 with all the weird stuff going on there.

Granite Falls gives me a National Park vibe, so I chose my favorite, Yellowstone which is mostly in Wyoming.

Copperdale seems to be in the rocky mountains, I placed it in Montana because of the old mining town description. Butte, Montana used to be a huge mining town.

Moonwood Mill reminds so much of the thick woods in the Pacific West somewhere Washington or Oregon.

Glimmerbrook I imagine is close to Moonwood Mill and the witches and the werewolves are always beefing.

Evergreen Harbor gives me a strong Pacific West port city like Vancouver (I know Vancouver is not in the US, but you get the drift).

Sulani reminds me so much of Hawaii, the beautiful beaches, volcanoes, and mountains and the culture portrayed by Sulanians.

Ciduad Enamorada reminds me so much of Mexico City, Mexico.

South America

Selvadorara gives a strong Amazonian vibe so I placed it in Brazil.

Europe

Britchester because of Britchester uinversity reminds me of Universtiy of Oxford, or University of Cambridge so I placed it in the UK.

Henford-on-Bagley gives off a strong English country vibe so I placed it South Central England.

Windenburg gives off a German vibe because of the style of buildings placed in the world.

Forgotten Hollow I think of as somewhere in Transylvania so I placed it in Romania.

Tartosa is undoubtedly mediterranean so I placed it in Italy.

Asia

Tomarang with the tuk tuks and the tiger sanctuary reminds me of Indonesia.

Mt. Komorebi, my absolute favorte world, is Japan. I can't wait to visit someday.

P.S. Batuu is not included in my sims universe because it is in space, I don't anticipate my sims ever traveling there, but if I ever feel otherwise, I will include it in here.

Alegría VS Caruso: Day 1, Part 3

Previous

Dulce’s lifelong friend, Matthew Fyres, agreed to take the stand in court to verify the digital evidence. He works in cybersecurity and is highly skilled in computer science.

Back in Italy, he lived a bit further from Dulce and Guillermo, so they didn’t get to hang out as much. However, their bond was as strong as ever. He was more than willing to help Dulce.

It was risky to use him instead of a random expert who would be undeniably neutral on the stance, but part of the strategy was to show that Dulce has a lot of support and loyal friends.

“Mr. Matthew Fyres, please explain your role and credibility,” Antonio calmly asked. He knew Matthew was quite nervous.

Matthew took a deep breath to soothe himself. “I work for the cybersecurity agency of Italy’s government. I cannot share much about what I do since I handle sensitive information, but I am a professional in this line of work.”

“And you have verified the digital evidence we presented thus far? Including Ms. Alegría’s cookbook project files and data from her channel?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

Isabela smirked. It was her turn to question him.

“Mr. Fyres. I’d also like to point out the interesting timeline of the creation of these digital records. They only date back to about a year ago, correct?”

Matthew hesitated.

Dulce’s eyes widened.

It’s true! Still, it’s her work. She transferred everything over from-

“Yes..” Matthew admitted. He was stuck! He didn’t know what else to say to that.

The courtroom began to fill with a few whispers from the jury and audience.

Dulce was thinking of something, what was it???

Isabela took a sharp turn and faced the jury. “And the social media accounts? When the evidence was being presented, I noticed a small dip in viewership and subscriptions before Mr. Caruso’s video was published. There was one, correct?”

“Yes, because Mr. Caruso posted an Instagram story announcing the breakup. However, the percentages were an insignificant amount.”

“It was still a noticeable amount. Viewers and sponsors were already losing faith in her or only liked her because of Mr. Caruso. Her videos appealed to the masses because she was good at playing the part of a chef with humble beginnings. However, many comments in Mr. Caruso’s video prove that a good portion of viewers already had suspicions about her. He inspired other people to come forward with their opinions. Ms. Alegría is not a real chef. She is a liar and a manipulator. Her downfall was destined to come sooner or later–”

“Objection! Ms. Campos is making baseless accusations against my client.”

Too many objections can make a lawyer look like there is something to hide, but Antonio felt like he had to do it.

“Overruled. Continue, Ms. Campos.”

Antonio sat down, his mind racing.

“Here is my last question: So far, we’ve gathered that Ms. Alegría is rather skilled at exploiting others. Could she have persuaded you to fabricate or alter the evidence? Just like how she let Mr. Caruso believe there was a future between them AND persuaded him to let her take credit for his recipes?”

The courtroom burst with noise as people reacted to her bold claims. Some people seemed persuaded.

Antonio glared at Isabela. I miscalculated...

Dulce looked down. It was hard to concentrate with all the chatter. Gosh, can everyone shut up for a second?

The judge was exclaiming, “Order! Order!” to no avail.

Then, it clicked. Shit. My notebook! That’s where I originally kept all my recipes. Where did I last see it? Did I leave it in Tartosa?

She smiled.

No, of course I brought it! That's how I transferred everything from my notebook to my computer a year ago.

It’s in my office. It has the dates and everything.

Maybe we can do ink dating testing or whatever it's called!

Things look bad now, but her culinary friends would come another day. Her notebook could surely help too. She has to tell Antonio.

I'm sorry, but what kind of accent does Ivan have? He's the only sim who speaks that way and now that he's more in focus, I can't help but wonder where he comes from! Also, while I'm at it, I've also noticed that you stay loyal to the Sim world ("speaking in Tartosan" "a Tartosan goddess", etc), and while it's obvious that Tartosa was based on Italy and Spain, do you imagine your characters being from real countries and with distinct cultural backgrounds?

hmmm idk that he really has an accent as such, it's more that he speaks more loosely/common than every one else. i don't really have voice claims or any real countries to pin these pixels to cos they're sims u kno, it'd probs get messy if i started tying things to irl and not others.. so nah, other than rough stuff like vaguely japanese for mt. komo or italy for tartosa i don't pin em to real places ig you could use my northern english accent as an example tho, like my mom is pretty well spoken but still northern right? so she pronounces her t's n shit but my accent is way more common and i drop all mine to a ridiculous extent (if i was to write butter or water the way i'd say it it's practically unreadable lol.. like bu'uer? bUHer?? idk lmao) so Ivan probs speaks like me tbh.. Tommy, Rhys and a couple others speak that way too and Oscar does when he's drunk
