The Sims Bustin' Out World, Sim Valley (Jan 2024 Update)

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.

Oh my, this is taking me back!! I immediately recognized Dudley's trailer!

It's so nice to see Mimi and Dudley in Club Rubb! I don't remember the name of that third Sim dancing as well, but feel like I can remember her artwork from the game case. :D For some reason, I have a very specific memory of playing in Club Rubb and a song from The Sims Superstar playing in the club LOL

Love this project! Hope it is going well.

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!

Very cool! I don't play Sims 3 anymore, but if I did it would be a great world to have. I loved Bustin' Out.
