Pleasantview Valley - Now with Save File [Exchange]

This world is a mix of the Sims 1 "neighbourhood" and Pleasantview from the Sims 2. It is an attempt at creating a Pleasantview which feels authentic but has detail and more fleshed-out surroundings.

Almost all Pleasantview lots are present in the world, as are many lots from the sims 1. They are all as authentic as possible to the original versions. There are of course a multitude of new lots too. Even without the notion of it being Pleasantview I think the world is useable as an "anywhere" suburb.

SPEC: I have aimed to make it to the best standards as possible, including spawners and all rabbit holes.

- It will need Riverview, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night and Pets to work. It may need Seasons, but this is unlikely (though I am not sure). Monte Vista is also required for one of the bridges (not essential).

- Some empty lots are included to accommodate extra expansion pack functionality.

- The iconic bridge is made of parts obtained from Moria at MTS. It is not essential for the world to work. If you do not want it then it will not appear. If you do want it then it can be downloaded from here: http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=432968

DOWNLOAD: The world is available now on the exchange:

SAVE GAME: I have made an "authentic" save game file which includes all of the original Pleasantview families harvested from their sims 3 iterations (plus some extra families to fully populate the world). Just download the file from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/at7h9qm3s9pup90/Welcome+to+Pleasantview.sims3.rar , unzip it and place the file in My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves

PERFORMANCE NOTES: The world is custard clean. The world has been playtested for countless sim weeks with no issues found. Needless to say, if any issues arise please don't hesitate to inform me.

I am looking forward to this. I've recreated all the Sims 1 sims in my studio beginning on page 6: http://www.thesims3.com/userExchange.html?persona=Clayworld&sortOrder=desc&action=&sortField=created_at&assetType=all&position=50&index=6

I have a Sims 1 world, but I like how you've expanded it.

Thanks guys, I appreaciate the comments.

Nilxis - I wish I could take credit for the bridge but sadly there was no way I was going to attempt to build something of that magnitude. The bridge consists of custom components from Moria at MTS (http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=432968). I just mixed them up to make a realistic looking bridge for now.

... Although now you mention it, recreating the bridge proper does sound like an interesting challenge :P

Here's some more pics of various parts of the world:

That project looks very well done and I'd be able to play it if it needed base game with WA alone.I'm currently playing games in both Gibsons and Winfield and they're both custom worlds which happened to be working well though Gibsons is the first thing I tried to make with CAW and I didn't expect it to actually work.I'm working on a third project and have others planned for when that one is finished.

This will probably be my most look forward to town. I want the original Sims neighborhood but I want it expanded on to allow use of all Expansion packs and add a bunch of families.

Thanks guys!

Well the world is pretty much finished. I'll be playtesting thoroughly for the time being and working on a save file to fully felsh out the world with all its flavourful inhabitants ;)
