A BRAND NEW SIMS 3 WORLD : SHETLAND HARBOUR

And here we are ... At last :D

10 years ago, Rope crafted a remarkable world, inspired by Starlight Shores, and generously given away to the community : Brightwater.

We embraced this gift, transforming and reshaping it, creating an island to eliminate distant terrain, and thus, Shetland Harbour was born ...

While many creators have fashioned stunning Sims 3 worlds with a Northern charm—like Saaqartoq, Greymont Bay, Lillebror, or Plymouth Isles—ours, stands a little apart.

Shetland Harbour is a unique blend : a touch of Aurora Skies, a hint of Moonlight Falls, and a dash of the unfortunate Barnacle Bay, all interwoven with our own vision of course. It is a vast yet easily navigable world, balanced between lightness and richness, featuring nearly all the Rabbit Holes the game offers.

Our aim was to craft a cohesive and vibrant world, one that feels alive and contemporary, with harmonious architecture and a spirit that invites exploration and delight :)

Welcome to Shetland Harbour, a picturesque coastal town nestled between rolling green hills and a fantastic bay … It is a beautiful medium/large-sized world, a community nestled on its own secluded island, accessible only by ferry. The town is known for its charming cobblestone streets, a vibrant fish market, and a rich history dating back centuries, dotted with quaint cottages, a bustling coast, and a grand lighthouse standing guard at the harbor’s entrance ...

This hidden gem is a haven for sheep, but don't let that fool you – Shetland Harbour is far from a sleepy place. With its rich maritime history, the town offers a unique blend of tradition and vibrant local culture.

Designed to capture the essence of a northern European island, Shetland Harbour offers a self-contained community with 100 lots in total : 65 residential lots + 35 community lots. Each Lot ( except the Old Renovated Factory ) is fully furnished.

In addition, there are multiple sheep ( all by Murfeel ) fields here and there – the latter being especially dear to the local culture, a close-knit community, where the ocean's presence is always felt and the simplicity of rural life is celebrated.

Shetland Harbour combines a lively downtown with peaceful suburbs and serene neighborhoods, featuring quaint cottages, charming gardens, and scenic paths through lush greenery.

The town's historic churches, like Old Church, Albert Church or Lux Chapel, are steeped in tales of ancient rituals and ghostly apparitions ... Albert Church, built on a Druidic site, is haunted by druid spirits, while Lux Chapel is known for the ghost of a sailor, seen on stormy nights ...

The mysterious stone circle inside the Graveyard, Ghost Place, adds to the island's mystical allure. Rumored to be a portal to another realm, it activates during celestial alignments, with visitors reporting strange occurrences. Town elders speak of a prophecy foretelling the return of ancient spirits and the awakening of the island's mystical powers. Signs include a rare star alignment, the stone circle's awakening, and three chosen individuals with the island's ancient bloodline ...

• Harbor Bay : The central feature of Shetland Harbour is its expansive bay. The bay is a natural harbor with calm, crystal-clear waters, making it ideal for fishing and sailing. It is surrounded by gently sloping hills and cliffs that provide stunning vistas of the sea. The marina is bustling with fishing boats, sailboats, and yachts sometimes … It’s the hub of maritime activity, with a fish market ( aka Grocery Store ), boat repairs, and a sailing club ( aka Business and Journalism Center )

• Lighthouse District : Right beside the Harbour, stands the Lighthouse Point, this district features historical homes and buildings, including a Norman cottage, a strange Diner and higher into the Hills, a fantastic museum dedicated to the town’s maritime history and a recent Hospital ready to welcome all the citizens of Shetland Harbour :)

• Beaches : The Coastline is dotted with sandy beaches, perfect for beachcombing, picnics, and bonfires. These areas are popular spots for locals and tourists alike. And you may want building some Coastal Houses for your Sims which is possible almost all alongside the sea ;)

• Old Town : The heart of Shetland Harbour is the Old Town, characterized by cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and a charming town square. Shetland Harbour's downtown area is a kinda picturesque pedestrian square, and quaint paths perfect for leisurely strolls …The Old Town includes the Town Hall, the Old Toad, the Talking Dog, a Fish and Chips, and even a Geek Store, all of them under the shadow of one of the oldest shop of the Island : the Elixirium ...

• Rolling Hills : Surrounding the town are rolling green hills covered in wildflowers and dotted with grazing sheep. These hills are perfect for hiking and offer panoramic views of the town and the bay. Beware of the fog !

• Forests and Woodlands : To the north of the town are more dense forests and woodlands with waterfalls upstream of the river which separates part of the island. These areas are home to various wildlife and provide a natural retreat for the residents. There are several well-maintained trails for hiking and exploring :)

Come and explore Shetland Harbour all your content ... Whether you're building your dream home, running a local business, or simply soaking in the serene atmosphere, this unique town promises endless possibilities and a truly captivating experience ...

IMPORTANT : Before downloading Shetland Harbour !!!

Shetland Harbour contains custom content. As much as we try to include them into the world building process, we learned with time the necessity of providing a list those items. No worries, we used the same cc creators as usual and added 2 or 3 more. Such as the grey/dark roof we made, based on the terracotta roof of the game and the Wood walls you'll find on different lots, the same as the ones of Oaksoak Hollow ... Or more important, the boats used in the world and of course ... The sheeps ! All you need should be included and/or available down here ;)

1) the ANTS & CC :)

ANTS stand for Absolute Necessary Things & Stuff to enjoy Shetland Harbour :)

You will need too some of our Rabbit Holes

Not mandatory but nice : our 88 Patterns mostly brick, masonry, concrete and wood ;) A bit of fabric & paper too ...

ATTENTION : if you have played with one of our Worlds, you might see duplicate files. We try to use the same objects as much as possible. Of course, you don't have to install twice. Skip whatever you already have. We use Blams objects for some Sims 3 objects ... so if you already have those objects from any other means, just skip ;)

Oregon Trail TS3 Sim Narrowdown

Below the cut for length.

The Bakers

"Svetlana and Heathcliff love their daughter Becky, so of course they took her in when she and her son Topher needed a place to stay. But will they be able to enjoy their retirement with a noisy toddler in the house?"

The Bunchs

"Despite Jack's staunch and formal military appearance, he is actually a fun-loving guy who loves to host neighborhood barbecues."

"Judy is a hardworking woman with three jobs: wife, mother, and scientist. She doesn't get a lot of time for herself these days, and it's taken a toll on her exercise routine and eating habits."

"Ethan Bunch is the oldest of the four Bunch children. He is extremely outgoing and independent. At school, he is one of the top students in his class as well as one of the most popular. He has a special place in his heart for his littlest sister, Darlene."

"Lisa Bunch is a charismatic girl - as long as you don't cross her the wrong way. She's had her fair share of playground fights. Will she mature with age or wind up on the wrong side of the tracks?"

"Arlo is a superduperextremehyperactive ball of youth who is just not happy unless he's involved with something that requires running after something else. He's very close to every member of his family except his little sister, who drives him up the wall."

"As the youngest of the Bunch household, Darlene will do anything to get noticed and she's already had a few broken bones to show for it. She lives to torture her big brother, Arlo, but she absolutely idolizes her bigger brother, Ethan."

The Frios/Ursines

"Jared Frio isn't sure what he wants to do with his life. He knows he's good at cooking, but he just doesn't have the drive or ambition to become a great chef. He knows he's good at charming people, but he just doesn't have the desire to do more than scratch the surface of relationships. What will it take to aim him in the right direction?"

"A loner by nature, about the only person that Connor Frio doesn't mind having around is his brother, Jared. After all, his brother leaves him alone to be his own person, never trying to push him or mold him the way his parents and classmates did. No, Jared doesn't mind that Connor often likes to just sit alone, reading a good book, so why would Connor want to spend time with anyone else?"

"Claire Ursine is a reclusive angler living by the ocean. Since she lives alone, she is hopeful that no one will notice her unexpectedly changing waistline."

"If the pregnancy is left alone, the baby will almost always be born female. Addionally, the child will have red hair and light skin, as both parents share these features."

The Keegans

"Brennan and Julie appreciate the value of good healthy living and hard work. Can they impress these values on their three children?"

The Learys

"James and Kara Leary are old hippies from the '60s and have had a more… laissez faire approach to parenting. If you asked them, they love having their children around even if most of them are grown up."

"Rain just had to get away from her parents. She Couldn't stand all that constant praise over nothing. Now she can have some peace, enjoying "Good" Music and her last few days of High School."

"Cookie recently decided she'd like a kid of her own. And, just like that, it happened!"

"Helping others and putting a smile on someone's face are Sunshine's daily pursuits."

The Vazquezes

"Tyler loves to dote on his wife despite the ribbing he gets from his coworkers about marrying a older woman."

"Heather has been dancing on clouds ever since marrying her new husband Tyler."

"Elaine would have rather stayed with her bio dad after her moms divorce. She refused to change her name and tries to have as little to do with Tyler as possible."

"If Heather is left alone with story progression enabled, the baby will likely be a girl."

I also play sims 3! Currently, I'm redecorating the interior of 323 Knott Drive (the Ivy family's house) and uhhhh...it's taking a long time. It's such a big place and I'm too used to furnishing and cluttering in sims 4 (OMSP helps a little but oof building in ts3 is hard. Learning curve right there!)

I think my favorite sim in this family though so far is Daydream. She's a big mood, honestly.

Anyway. Last night, I gave Daydream a makeover!

Top Image: Before Bottom images: After

I didn't do much to her, face-wise, besides making her upper lip a little bit thicker and making her laugh lines less prominent. And giving her better eyebrows.

For her clothing style, I tried to go for a more hippie, boho-y teen look.

SHETLAND HARBOUR IS COMING :)

I know I know ... I'm a bit late :D as usually but fore sure Shetland Harbour is coming in a few days :) In fact, the world is done and we are just testing it on both Mac and Pc. And making a good starting save game for everyone ...

Shetland Harbour is a medium/large world which has around 100 lots ... and Sheeps.

So what a June month it's going to be ! Shetland Harbour ( a brand new World ) AND the update of Oaksoak Hollow ( pronounced as o-ksoak and not oaks-oaks )

As you already knows it, our Worlds are always made with 2 major statements :

All about Ambiance

A true PLAYABLE experiment

We are aware we are still kinda newbies for everything related to CAW but we are learning ... always ! :D

All informations, cc content, pictures, ANTS ( Absolute Necessary Things & Stuff ), etc ... will be released with the coming download post ;)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

About the "famous" directX11 Sims4 update, we investigate but everything we read about is quite simple : it's affecting everything graphic related, including thumbnails and so on. So, yes, some of you should get graphic problems since our K-Mods are all about graphic. So, the ones who get problems should doing some tests with our K-Mods and send us what's working and what is not with as much details as possible.

This is the EA statement : " While DirectX11 is available for those Simmers who want to try it, you may experience visual issues with mods so we recommend disabling all mods while using this command line argument "

What else ? well, I'm quite sure the Community will find soluces and more, detailed informations which will become a ground to work on. Then, we shall decide what to do and what not to do ;)

xoxo everyone !

I have been quiet lately, too many (although awesome) projects, left me socially drained, while real life leaves me mentally and emotionally drained. So I have just let myself get lost in CAS yet again, and last night, not related to my CAS project, I started revamping an awesome house by the equally awesome @simsmidgen​. Obligatory unedited pic spam ahead....: 3. 2. 1. GO!

This is quite an intimate spot with hot springs.

I wonder if Dorsey could go there and bathe in them..
