*** WELCOME BACK TO SIMSVILLE ! ***

                       * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + *

“Once upon a time, in a far away land, there was a quite, lovely little town...”

                      * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + *

I don’t know how many of you played the first chapter of The Sims saga, however - for the nostalgic sims-players or for all the TS3 players - the amazing town of Simsville is finally come back, with the fascinating Old Town, the frenetic Downtown, and a whole new neighborhood, full of rabbit holes and communitary lots (there are also many empty lots, ready for your building pleasure).

                     * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + *

Meet Bob and Betty Newbie, Bella and Mortimer Goth, Frankie and Sylvia Mashuga, Mama and Elend Hick, and all the other beloved families who are waiting for you, ready for a new, nostalgic comeback!

                     * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + *

Simsville is a 99% faifhful replica of the old The Sims town, as it was just few days before the arrival of the magician’s carovana of “Makin’ Magic” (the latest expansion pack oft The Sims): a weird hotair balloon is floating quietly over Old Town, while, at night, some strange lights appear just behind the mountains...

But don’t worry, forget those lights and go out with your date: ride a cab and drink a Martini at Hedman's Highway, or go to shopping at Landgraab Mall, or at Solana Towne Center! 

You can also go swimming to SimCity Beach, buy an icecream at Barrett's Boardwalk, and having a fantastic diner at Cory’s Place, or at Old Farm Square!

If you prefer instead a more quiete afternoon, visit Old Town with all its historical venues: Custer’s Market, for all your gardening needs, Pet Paradise (your pets will love it!), the Gothic Quarter, and many others.

You can also explore the surrounding area, strolling around the whole scenery, enjoying the calm, beautiful scenery...

                     * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + *

SIMSVILLE SPECS:

- Populated world. medium size.

- Despite I built Simsvile using few objects from every TS3 expansion pack, the scenery itself requires just three of them: World Adventures and Supernatural fot the bridges, and Late Night for some trees.

- No Store objects required.

- I recreate many objects, textures, walls and floors from the old The Sims, mainly previuosly released: you don’t need to desperately download them, because they are all included in the CC file linked below, that I warmily suggest to use instead (get rid of the cc previously downloaded).

Kit Island Release! April 30, 2020


This is the official release of my latest world Kit Island. This is a tiny world inspired by New England. The world features a complete downtown with a bar, a coffee shop, a gym, a library, and festival grounds. There is also a cemetery and a small church. The port features a “ferry” that Sims can “take” to go to more jobs on the mainland. The world has every base game rabbit hole, however, Jynx’s Rabbithole rugs were used to achieve this. The grocery store, spa, diner, bistro, office building, bookstore, police station, city hall, and military base all are in buildings on the island, whereas the rest are found on the “ferry.”


Lots:


The world features 48 lots total, most of the lots are small. (20x30 or less usually) 


18 commercial lots (all fully built and usable)


20 residential lots (2 houses and 2 “town homes” are built)


The reason I chose not to build every residential lot is because my game is struggling to run smoothly. After building for awhile my game will crash and it is a bit frustrating to deal with. On top of this, I’m not super inspired by the style of this world anymore, especially for residential lots. However, I do plan on using this world since it is so small but still has everything I want in a world and will try to release houses for the empty lots in the future. 


Content Needed:


Uses these packs: Late Night, Pets, University Life, Seasons, and Island Paradise.


Custom Content: The download comes with the world as well as a custom content folder. The world only uses the Jynx Rabbithole Rugs as well as Awesims’ Cornices. I’m including both of these in the download, the folder marked “Kit Island CC” can be placed in your mods/packages folder. These are both HIGHLY recommended for game play as well as the aesthetic of the world. 


Known issue with a solution: Both of the town home lots in my testing were glitched slightly. When your sim enters the lot, the game doesn’t allow you to switch floors. The solution I found was just to make your sim climb the stairs by clicking on them, and then once the sim enters each floor, the game will allow you to switch between them again. I tried to fix this by removing some debug objects and other things but nothing seemed to work. Otherwise, every lot is thoroughly tested and things like swimming and boating work well, however remember it is a tiny-size world so the boats can’t stray very far from the island.
If any glaring issues are found let me know and I will fix and re-release asap!


Thank you to everyone who has been leaving me asks about this world and pushing me to release it! If you play in this world or build a house to share, please tag your posts on tumblr with #KitIsland

Welcome to the Lonely Nights!

This bar was built when the city was first established. And like every other old building it will be renovated. But not now. Since the whole money for the last renovatation went to the disco next door. So the old oil barrs and boxes stay a little longer as well as the old wallpapers.

Gambled for a bit of a change in theme in my desert world...

[jejassimworlds]

My world is finally here!

I am really proud of myself :)

Included are more than 80 sims including a few townies :)

Every sim has a story(in their bio or in the household bio) which you can play in any direction you desire. I had a lot of fun building this and I hope you have as much fun playing it as I had building.

The island has five diving spots, two resorts and ten ports as well as every lot typ that you will find in all EA towns(except the into the future, travel adventure and university stuff).

My world is CC FREE as far as I am aware.

I have made many starter homes for up to eight sims. You might need to renovate the houses if you play a family because all starters are for adult sims :)

If you encounter any bugs or routing issues please tell me!

I want to thank my discord group simblrs unite for the support and especially @farmerdiego, @medium-sim-settings, @iexoticsimmerthings-blog and @nucleayr for helping me with some sims and builds <3

Sunset Valley Restyled - by GrandeLama

A new and improved version of the very first TS3 scenery, Sunset Valley.Even if at a first sight it could seem the same scenery as ever, this is what you'll noticed playing:

��few more trees;

 a more detailled grass texture (with proper shadows under the trees);

 new roads intersections (i hate those square straight intersection!);

 new roads texture;

 new trails (texture, slope and route);

 few more lots;

 new islets;

 a wedding venue, with a pleasant abbey look (every european or american town should have a similar building);

 new placement for the Stadium and the Science Lab (no one would see those awful chimney from their front windows, isn't?)

 routing adjustment.

So, how you can see, there are not important adjustments, just some minor changing: howerver, the whole city looks a bit better now, don't you agree? ;-)

DOWNLOAD: Just two files: > Sunset Valley RESTYLED  (fully populated with the original families, no CC, no Expansion Packs, Stuff Packe or Store items required): sims3pack file, 85 Mb, unzip and place it in your Download folder, then load it as always via Launcher. > Sunset Valley RESTYLED save file (required for having working tombs and ghosts in the Cemetery): 18 Mb, unzip and place it in your Saves folder.

Oh, yes, this remind me of something...

ICOLOPOLIS

ICOLOPOLIS was at its beginning a vast orange grove on the right bank of Llama River, surrounded by a few peasant houses. Ico Lopoli, its owner, was so skilled, ambitious and enterprising that in a few years those few houses became a prosperous, populated, modern and lively city. Despite the fame of Icolopolis, nobody knows what happened to Ico Lopoli: he mysteriously disappeared, after an incredible long and surprisingly prosperous life. Who knows, maybe he is still alive, hiding himself in disguise somewhere in the city...

Is Icolopolis worth a coffee?

Icolopolis is available for free. However, if you appreciate all the love and efforts I put in building it, every small DONATION will be very appreciated. I'll be very happy to create even more beautiful stuff for your game.

So, please, DONATE.

Thank you. :-)

Features

Medium Size World (1024 x 1024)

Urban City scenery

26 residential lots

80 community lots

non populated world (play the given Icolopolis_POPULATED save file if you want to run a fully populated city).

More than 350 objects and more than 70 patterns specifically designed for Icolopolis.

What is required:

- all expansion packs:      - World Adventures      - Ambitions      - Late Night      - Generations      - Pets      - Showtime      - Supernatural      - Seasons      - University Life      - Island Paradise      - Into the Future - the following stuff packs:      - High-End Loft      - Fast Lane      - Outdoor Living      - Town Life      - Master Suite      - 70's, 80's & 90's - all the store worlds (except for Midnight Hollow):      - Riverview      - Barnacle Bay      - Hidden Springs      - Lunar Lakes      - Lucky Palms      - Sunlit Tides      - Montevista      - Aurora Skies      - Dragon Valley      - Roaring Heghts

Known issues:

The Owner's door of the big show venue from Showtime is bugged (the owner walks inside instead of came out), so - just in case you will start a new game WITHOUT using my "Icolopolis POPULATED" save file - I suggest you to delete that door (using Moveobjects on), and replace it with the cloned one you'll find in the Doors section.

I've cloned the basketball hoop from the Store (named cloned_basketball_hoop.package).It works fine, with its proper animations and sounds, and the original file from the Store is non required, but your Sims will play with an invisible basket ball. If you own the original basketball hoop from the Store, replace mine with your (you can eventually delete it from the Icolopolis CC folder).

Download:

Here you can find all the necessary files:

Icolopolis : the whole scenery (install it via Launcher)

Icolopolis_POPULATED save file (requires game patched 1.69): - alternative download HERE - Mediafire  a fully populated save file. Unzip it in your Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Saves folder, then load it as a normal save file once in game. If you experience lags using this file, delete some of the largest families, or alternatively use the following save file:

Icolopolis_NPC_only save file (requires game patched 1.69): - alternative download HERE - Mediafire a save file with no families, just all the NPCs (non-player characters) requested to fulfill all the available services in the city.  Unzip it in your Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Saves folder, then load it as a normal save file once in game.

CC_Icolopolis_Overrides (10,6 mb): - alternative download HERE - Mediafire this file contains some override packages files requested for the game. Unzip it in your Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods/Overrides folder.

CC_Icolopolis_Merged (375 mb): - alternative download HERE - Mediafire it contains ALL the necessary CC, merged into few packages files. Unzip in your Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 3 / Mods / Packages folder. The zip file includes also a list of all the merged files, so you can eventually replace any single packages file you already own with the corresponding merged file containing it. The use of the merged files instead of single packages is highly recommended in order not to lower your PC's performance while gaming.

CC_Icolopolis_SINGLE_FILES (378 mb): - alternative download HERE - Mediafire the same content as the file above, just not merged. Download it at your choice.Use alternatively to the merged files.

Special thanks to @nornities and @simsmidgen for all their precious suggestions and help (without they Icolopolis would be heavier and laggy!), as well to @dylan-walsh-sim, @applekissims and @mllwio for testing.

Here we have the home of the Abott family. They, like the hawthornes, are one of the founder families and they used to live near each other(in fact, they even build their houses together thats why they look so familiar). But now the daughter, Luna, married the son of the Hawthornes and moved out. This led her parents Mitchel and Francisca to buy a new home. They now live in a modern houseboat and put there old house up for sale :)

What do you think? Next I will show you the houseboat from them :)

This is my first victorian build ever :) I am very proud of it!

This house was on sale. The last owner past away and nobody came to pick up the furniture.  So it was sold with all of the old owners furniture.  Some say that house is haunted because the last owner was a witch but you don't believe that, right?

Ramona Falcon bought the house and adopted little Luna. She is a doctor and wants to find her one true love.

Tell me what you think :)

And here are the last two households :)
