Acorn Meadows Update 2/3/2022- Simplicity also did an Acorn Meadows World Overview!
Although its smaller than my previous one, as far as the number of lots go, I sacrificed quantity for quality in my opinion. I think this in fact my first world that includes less than one hundred lots, but I worked really hard on each of them! Much of the map is camera non routable, so I could create my own custom distant terrain without having to relay on CC or use what EA created and work around that. For that reason, there is not as much space to work with as there is in Raycaster. Like all of my worlds it does not use any CC. Acorn Meadows is either a rather large town or a very small city. Its located in a cold region of the sim world, but it is a great summer destination. In fact its great for any time of year. Want Winter Holiday themed world? Want a spooky Halloween themed world? Want a romantic Valentines day themed world? Just change the season and many ( but not all ) of the lots will change with it, and not just the trees

Acorn Meadows has mansions by the beach that include horse stalls. One will include a household in the upcoming saved game file, the other one will be empty for you to populate with your own sims.

There are lots of beautiful places in Acorn Meadows to go for a jog! Or perhaps you would like a nice romantic walk on the beach or in a huge park, right behind your house?

Here is the festival lot for Acorn Meadows, known as Party Park Festivals! Normally what makes the festival lots special is how the objects on them change with the seasons as new festivals come along as the seasons change. In Acorn Meadows many, but not all of the other venues include a seasonal lot marker in addition to the festival grounds!

Acorn Meadows is an extremely happy go lucky, family oriented town, and the people in charge of the parks and many of the local businesses love nothing more than to decorate for the Holidays! Here's just one example of how the world changes depending on the time of year. Let's take a look at Theater Park, the performance park near the Simple Bed and Breakfast ( Resort ). This is what Theater Park looks like in the day during the Summer

In the fall the Proprietor decorates for Spooky Day. Checkout the Spooky Ghost! :wink:

And finally, last but not least, here is what Theater Park looks like in the Spring Time

Update 5/18/2021 and Update 5/29/2021 and Update 6/28/2021 and Update 7/24/2021 and Update 7/26/2021
I changed the name of the world from Pine Meadows to Acorn Meadows, because I recently noticed that someone else had already created a sims 3 world called Alpine Meadows and I didn't want people to confused that world with this one. The names were just too similar
The final version of Acorn Meadows is here! Here is a link to the exchange

Here is the saved game file that includes all the official houses and the graveyard and museum ghosts. Hope you enjoy it. Remember to take the "Acorn Meadows Story" saved game file and put it with your saved games, after installing the map, otherwise it will not work.

Acorn Meadows Uses all expansion packs, but does not include content from any stuff packs. It is CC free, and does not use any premium content, however, it does require the following free store objects.
1. Happy St. Patrick's Day, 2. Halloween Treats, 3. The Sims Strike Back, 4. Happy Halloween : Gory Goodies, 5. More Holiday Presents, 6. Happy Holiday Presents, 7. Honeycomb Bookshelf, 8. In the Dawn of Sims, 9. Gifts for the Holidays, 10. Modern HDTV by Webbsta Industries, 11. Happy Valentines Day 2014, 12. No Tricks, Just Treats, 13. Eye of the Bolder, 10 14. Explorer's Loot, 15. More Halloween Treats, 16. Harvest Bounty
The world does not include most of the late night or showtime venues, however it does include a couple bars, and the performance park I mentioned earlier. I thought that the venues from things like World Adventures and University Life fit the theme of the town better. Pine Meadows is about family and the holidays, not about clubbing or performing on stage. All rabbit hole careers and professions are included however. There are only a few empty lots, but there should be enough for you to add a couple of your own houses, or one or two venues that I did not include. There are also a couple of ports if you desire to live on a houseboat. However, I did not include houseboats and this is not a world that I would recommend for them, since the ocean area is so small and much of it, that is not covered with camera non routable terrain is blocked off by two bridges that connects a tiny Island to the mainland and is the only way to get to those two mansions and the legacy challenge lot on the other side of town that doesn't involve travel across water. You might think you can travel around it, but you can't because the edge of that little inlet is covered in camera non routable paint to help hide the ocean on the edges of the map, since the world is not supposed to be an island. That said, there is a single dive lot.
I hope to hear back from you guys soon. I can't wait to hear what you guys have to say about my latest world, good or bad. Find any bugs or issues, or anything that you think needs improvement, or anything you really love for that matter, please let me know.
