UPDATE (15th Jan, 2024): I have been working on this world on and off since 2020. I have made a lot of changes and would like to share some updates.This world will transform Sim Valley, the sims console neighborhood, into a full sims 3 world. The world will be set up how the Bustin' Out map is, as shown below.The time period takes place after the first console game, with Mom divorcing Malcom Landgraab. All sims from Bustin' Out will be available to play, as well as characters from other sims game to further flesh out the world.As shown, each Bustin' Out lot and their surrounding lots are finished. I am hoping to spend much more time on this project for I am no longer in university. I also hope to share more updates as I work on this. Please let me know what you'd like to see or any suggestions.This project is intended to be as 1:1 as The Sims 3 will allow me. So, I am aiming for an early 2000s console game aesthetics rather than realism. This is also intended to be done without relying too much on CC (my own will be included and the only other CC is the bridge used for Pixel Acres) and minimal store content. The store content used will be minimal and not required. Off the top of my head, the only store content I have used are the outdoor showers pictured on Pixel Acres, Basketball courts, the climbing wall, and the cow plant. Currently in progress: Terraform detailing Terrain Painting Placing trees, rocks, etc. ...Map Overviews:https://i.imgur.com/cttedZX.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/0qp42D5.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/eVVaJGO.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/CeskYYE.pngIn Game Overviewhttps://i.imgur.com/sbw5rkA.jpgIn Game Screenshotshttps://i.imgur.com/Asg15wb.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/0ppU7pi.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/D1oJZg3.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/kKa8VAc.jpg

Hello everyone,I wanted to finally give some updates on this project. I have worked on this here and there since I started and have been working on it more often these past few months. I would like to finally share some more updates after so long.Here is a sneak peek at some of the sims and inside Club Rubb. Check the original post for more details.https://i.imgur.com/2gVwcp4.jpg

First, thank you everyone for the support and feedback. I think I have learned a lot about CAW over the years for this project. Sorry for not updating this in a while, I am still working on this and I plan to be working on and updating more often now that I am no longer in university.The main reason I wanted to create this world is because ever with each generation of sims games, I always end up recreating lots from Bustin' Out. So, one day I just thought, why not make the world? I cannot wait to finally finish and play in this world and I am excited that others are interested in this as well.Here is a screenshot of Pixel Acres, more are updated in my main post. I hope to share more updates soon! Let me know what you would like to see and any suggestions!https://i.imgur.com/0ppU7pi.jpg

Here are some updates of how the world is going. The past couple weeks, I have been focusing on custom content. I just made custom roads today and tested them. It should be noted that Sims will walk on their right side when they are walking. So, they will walk on the sidewalk when the road is on their left side, but when the road is on their right side, they will walk in the grass. Not sure how much custom content I will create, but the next couple weeks, I will focus on building the world more. It's still very early on, but I figured I'd add some bird's eye view of the world, just so everyone can get an idea of my vision. I'm trying to map it out how the little map is in Bustin' Out when traveling.
