Some creators prefer clothes, objects, patterns, chairs or hairs.
We like to create : worlds.
At least 3 ideas per week to create a new world. To hunt down objects to build the right atmosphere and architecture. Already planning custom terrain paints.
Worlds are complete ecosystem with one single idea. Worlds are context. Don’t get us wrong, we love to play Sims. But no matter the version, they alway do the same thing. What doesn’t ? Context.
It’s not the same feel in Sims 2, in Sims 3 and in Sims 4. Not the same kind of game, not the same kind of players. And Sims 3 is all about context. It is that open world that gives it all. A world without opportunities ? A world to build with challenge. Full of fishes and plants ? Gardeners and fairies land for sure. Remake of Sunset Valley : classical Sim and storytellers. New York city all over again ? Downtown playing, mostly for the vampires and glam life lover.
How about making a world with scarce plants and some pines over there ? Everything crammed together downtown and making you world winter long ? That’s a cool idea 🙂 Try making it in Sims 4 … If you don’t want to get involve into the festival thing, you won’t get a bad mood in Sims 3 for it. Just get the normal park instead of the festival park and you are done. Or leave it ! No Sims will mind !
Worlds are about atmosphere. It will give the tone to your game and it’s the best way to play 🙂
