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 North of the River ( I updated this screenshot to include the two additional lots I added with the second beta )

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
https://www.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000/shard000/452/633/019/00/screenshot_original.jpg

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
https://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9473834

And here the backup link to download the world via Media Fire
https://www.mediafire.com/file/ktloj7x9i99ipkk/Acorn_Meadow.zip/file

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.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/lvcmtxk0b6rdqqp/Acornn_Meadows_Save.zip/file

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.

    Update 5/29/2021

    Here's a link to the third Beta for those of you who would like to try it out and help me Play Test It! The second Beta and first Beta, back when the world was still called "Pine Meadows" is no longer available.
    This file is no longer available. Download the latest version instead.

    Here's the saved game file to go along with it. I intended to release one for the second beta, but by the time I had finished creating all of the households, I had noticed a few things wrong with the map. Don't forget to move the "Acorn Meadows Beta B" saved game file from the zipped folder to your "saves"
    This file is no longer available. Download the latest version instead.

    Now here are a couple of screenshots of the new lots that I added with the previous update.
    https://www.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000/shard000/640/636/019/00/screenshot_original.jpg
    https://www.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000/shard000/642/636/019/00/screenshot_original.jpg

    I really hope more than just three people download the files this time. I really need a lot more help play testing this map. In addition to everything else, now that I finally have a saved game file, please let me know what you think of my sims as well.

    Hi there, I downloaded your world and had a look at it. Of course I couldn't test everything, but I will try to have another run. Here are some thoughts and comments.

    I got a missing object warning when I loaded your save. Seems I don't have all free store sets installed, but as they are mostly decorative items it shouldn't matter too much. Also just for information, I do play with NRAAS mods and used NRAAS Debug Enabler to quickly populate the world (it adds some more families in a very short time). So my experience might differ from a vanilla gameplay.

    Overall the town seems very playable. I like that you included lots for the ITF careers and so far my sims had plenty to do. The lots I visited so far were all very routing-friendly though personally I find it a bit too much unused space on some. But that is personal preference.

    Do you know that you can use NRAAS Master Controller to set relationships for your savegame? That way the different households are interconnected by friendship or family ties which makes gameplay and exploring even more fun. Same is true for careers, you can assign different career levels to the sims so that not everybody in the savegame starts with level 1.
    Players do not need to have that mod installed.

    All biographies I looked at had typing errors, maybe someone can proofread them for you?

    Larue Household
    - not sure what happened to the parking space? It seems to be there but it's invisible. Did you sink it into the ground? It cannot be grabbed with the hand tool, but you can place cars on it
    - mismatched and missing wallcoverings at the roof parts (roof level, top floor)
    - larger kids room could use some more lamps
    - Kitchen: I didn't see a waste bin, that should be added
    - Mollie is wearing a hat as her everyday outfit, which means that she wears it inside all the time, too

    Golden Household:
    - the front door doesn't seem to be set so sims choose the easy way - entering the barn. Setting the door to the house as entrance door would probably help.
    - mismatched and missing wallcoverings at the roof parts (roof level)
    - there is a looooot of unused space in that house
    - the master bedroom could use some more lamps

    Festival Grounds
    - you could add a sandbox so that toddlers have something to do, too

    AM Nectary and Wedding Chapel
    - you could paint the outside walls in the basements
    - the disadvantage of the nectar tasting shelves is that they advertise very strongly, so sims go there and serve a tray over and over again, filling all possible slots with trays and continuing with the floor. I don't have a picture but my sims spend only a few hours there and the floor was covered with trays. You could add more tables and/or counters to have them at least clutter those and not the floor.

    The Gardener Family Park
    I got some stuck sims at night between the lake and the horse show activity. Mostly when they were on their way home. They were able to go home just fine though when I zoomed in. I leveld the edge of the pond a bit more, maybe there was a tiny patch a bit too steep in their first routing attempt. I'll report if that solved the problem. I haven't looked at this lot in more detail yet, so nothing else to report.

    No obvious problems:
    - Slap into a gym
    - Crestview School
    - The Witch's Garden. I moved the spawners into the garden though, as the rocks etc. spawned partially inside the shop

    And that's it for now!

    No problem, I don't expect you to sit at the computer 24/7. Just a quick one for now:

    Those unfinished walls in the roof levels are not really important. For me it's breaking the immersion though when I go up or down a level and see those unfinished walls. That's why I mention them. If you want to avoid additional costs for the house, there are a floor and a wall for 0 Simoleons.

    Why are all the bathrooms so tiny? You allow for so much routing friendly space in the residentials, but the bathrooms are tiny and as soon as a second sim enters there is trouble with routing. Also bathing a dog needs a bit more space, or potty training toddlers. Maybe something to consider for future builds.

    Gardener Family Horse Track
    - the racing parcour doesn't work well. You'll have to add posts along a course similar to what you did with the jumping parcour. For that reason, jumping and racing shouldn't share the same trail. As it is now, the horse goes in circles around the one racing post.
    While of course you can mix the different jumping obstacles for gameplay I'd prefer to have two courses actually - one for beginner level, with the cavalettis and low difficulty obstacles. And one for training advanced jumping skills. There are also different options: the cavalettis allow to "practise" while the more advanced obstacles allow to do the parcour.

    Outlaw household:
    - missing wallcoverings at the roof parts (roof and stair level, around the chimney, basement)
    - there is an unused room in the basement which looks "forgotten". You could make it smaller or use the hidden room markers
    - Jason Whatley wears a hat for all outfits. Looks weird :P Also an outdoor jacket for everyday, but as outdoor outfit he wears a cardigan... Hat issue with Martin, too.

    No obvious problems:
    - Peaceful Pond

    I'm sure there is something in between "massive, bigger than bedroom" bathrooms and 8-tile bathrooms. You have so much empty space on the lots, it's not as if it would take away anything.

    I can't post pictures here (yet) but I put some on my tumblr in a private post so that you can see what I mean.
    https://norntesties.tumblr.com/private/653871709925130240/tumblr_o8OscD6AbdkoTEDH9

    Festival grounds: some unfinished walls (see pictures in tumblr post).

    Rhinestone Cowboy (Outlaws):
    Both Criminals did their job fine. One got an opportunity that involved bringing some papers to the city hall. He vanished and I had to reset him. I heard that sometimes the combo rabbitholes can cause this. But I guess there is not much you can do about that unless you feel like adding separate rabbitholes to your town.

    There is no reason to not paint any wall, especially if that is so important to you. You don't know if players play walls up or down, so they will be noticeable eventually. If you don't want to use room markers, you could also add wallpaper in a neutral colour, like a dark grey or something. And/or use the 0 simoleon wall and floor to avoid extra costs.

    Gardener Family Horse Track:
    Of course it's up to you if you want to make any changes on this lot. Nothing I found so far has been gamebreaking. Just giving hints for an even better play experience.
    The cavaletti is not even part of the parcour, so the horse will run around it. There is a picture in the private tumblr post which will hopefully explain better what I mean. You could move the cavaletti to the middle of the lot, even add a second one there.
    I would also remove that one racing post - it looks really silly if the horse is going in circles around it. That way you also had more room to align the jumping obstacles better for a smoother parcour.

    Here are some more findings :)

    Generally, if you put spawners on seasonal lots, they won't only spawn in the season you wish them to. Also swings shouldn't be used on lots with seasonal markers, this leads to the "swing bug" where sims swing in plain air. It's an EA bug and sadly removing the swings again doesn't help, they will still do it. So it's an advice for future builds.

    Spoiler


    Strawberry Lemonade (45, Aurora Road, Villegas Household)
    - missing wallpapers, nothing else to report. The toddler was grown up when I switched to the household so I had to add a bed for the kid

    Black Box Comics (56 Snowflake Street)
    - missing wallpapers, nothing else to report
    - in a nerd shop I'd love to see some arcade and/or video games and computers

    Western Pastries & Zee Books (50 Snowflake Street)
    - missing wallpapers, nothing else to report

    Theatre Park (54 Snowflake Street)
    - the usual missing wallpapers at the upper levels and in the "columns"
    - there is a single column, is there a particular reason for that?
    https://64.media.tumblr.com/ff3e13fb094f2f03d1f865d503f3e7b6/25d7ba27a08fbc2e-1b/s2048x3072/c70def8c4543d2d00a375a60f6123cbbe7d3be7d.jpg
    - you could also add a sand pit for toddlers, though it's not exactly a family park (especially not with red toadstool growing there :D )

    A park for All Seasons (72 Evergreen Path)
    - work fine overall, only the plants looked a bit weird as if they were "stuck" in a different season? I saw they were meant for autumn so they should have been there as it was that season. They couldn't be interacted with
    https://64.media.tumblr.com/400ee70c306a50a2f5fb45bf705f3486/25d7ba27a08fbc2e-61/s2048x3072/2343a657af29b03116f885e550f1e432f6cbfca5.jpg

    Seasonal Sports Bar
    - in a family-friendly bar I'd expect to see more stuff for families (i.e. kids) and in a Sports Bar more sports related decorations
    - the usual missing wallpapers at the upper level

    Flower Power Dojo (55 Pumpkin Patch Road)
    - the usual missing wallpapers at the upper level

    Grayland Snow (67 Evergreen Path) - Bookworm household
    - the missing wallpapers at the roof level
    - no trash can in the kitchen, sims have to go outside to dispose of their trash
    - sims don't start routing from the lot, they run to a spot a bit away and only then get into a taxi. Same on their way home, they would always get off quite away from the lot. Not sure why, maybe double check the routing?

    Acorn Meadows Public Library (70 Evergreen Path)
    - missing wallpapers at the roof level
    - there are no seating opportunities so that sims sit on the chairs and block the domino tables
    https://64.media.tumblr.com/3bae9400b24844f08abeedaba093685d/25d7ba27a08fbc2e-43/s2048x3072/5bc65f814e5a368b70df9c18d487a202e57ac7dc.jpg

    The Blue Bar (74 Aurora Road)
    - what can I say, missing wallpapers on the upper level
    - this is a weird mix between Local Watering hole and I don't know what. Then I found that it's a Rebel Hangout. For this I would hope for more rebel stuff to do, e.g. a speaker podium, a dumpster, more places to actually hang out, i.e. sofas and such, also a bigger art area, not just one easel
    - there is still a reference to Pine Meadows in the description


    My camera acted a bit weird at the river. When zoomed out it got stuck rather far apart from that port lot. Did you apply non-Camera paint there? My test sim could visit the port and then I was able to zoom in on the sim. So on Sims level I was able to move the camera to the lot, but not when a bit zoomed out. I hope that makes some sense :) This is how far I was able to go when zoomed out a bit:

    The bridge between Movie Theatre/Hospital is good on one side but the other it shows some noticeable step where it connects to the road again. All other bridges have those steps on both sides.

    Some more findings @Damienf519:

    Spoiler
    83 Squarel Street - Pine Meadows Trash Dump
    - top level missing wallpaper, also basement outer wall
    - maybe move the entrance door to the front of the building? It looks a bit silly if they run around it.
    - I don't see the advantage of the seasonal lot marker here. With so many spawners there will be plenty of objects spawning, so the look will vary all the time.
    - is it intentional to have no dining table? Sims will eat on the toilet :) But that could be a desired effect of course


    48 Bunny Rabbit Avenue - Palace of Meow
    - lot tear
    https://64.media.tumblr.com/9f561d1d4e9e2a30395becadf89537cb/dab725633799d410-ef/s2048x3072/d46816be750a3dcfdae1b5e00125acd53e97dc94.jpg
    - missing wallpapers
    - you could add some toy boxes indoors so that pets have something to play
    - you could also add some debug lights on second floor so that it's not that dark in comparison.
    https://64.media.tumblr.com/a8551d3285992e61c80d1bcae9b2a4fe/dab725633799d410-01/s2048x3072/45bd8e5da8e33535396abc645843012cebe3fd73.jpg


    25 Pinecone Ave (Spa, Movie theatre etc)
    - you only need to put either hidden room marker OR skip level marker
    - why didn't you connect it to the road? Sims will get off somewhere and then run to the back of the lot if they come from across the bridge. You could place an invisibile sidewalk and set the front of the lot to improve routing
    https://64.media.tumblr.com/b0e037ab5cbfc44a8bb1034519697c3d/dab725633799d410-05/s2048x3072/4b57d959456e64b618bf719cd3b26f9fedc70e42.jpg
    Same for the other lots that are not connected to roads.


    63 Bunny Rabbit Ave - Acorn Meadows Performing Arts
    - looks very unfinished with neither room markers nor wallpapers inside
    - why did you put the RH so that the entrances face the back of the lot? It's better to make routes as short as possible, so you could turn them around so that the way from staircase to entry is much shorter
    https://64.media.tumblr.com/124207606b125ffb5b374ab13ef56959/dab725633799d410-11/s2048x3072/5c4bf3ae1aa81ae8061ae3e82c9fbfe52c4fed1b.jpg


    63 Bunny Rabbit Ave - The Flamingo (Trojen Household)
    - there is a wall from a roof which you could remove and then you wouldn't have missing wallpapers on this lot :)
    https://64.media.tumblr.com/a6c134b6cfb576c47a125103103ba852/dab725633799d410-e8/s2048x3072/b05a33ef998343a89d87a73b504304533e0e9b41.jpg
    - No waste bin in the kitchen
    - one side of the double bed not accessible due to the desk

    32 Pinecrone Ave - PM Salon and Malevolent Tattoo
    - you only need to put either hidden room marker OR skip level marker
    - and I think it's supposed to be Pinecone Ave, not Pinecrone? Check the other lots along that street, too, I noticed that typo on several lots.


    22 Pinecrone Ave - Pine Meadows Oddity Museum
    - missing wallpapers top floor (or skip level marker)
    - the lion statues are large objects, so they show on every level every time you load your save. It can be rectified but it might be a bit tedious having to enter build/buy mode before you play the lot. You could put them on ground level and move the stuff from ground level upstairs.
    - Pine Meadows reference in lot name


    20 Summer Path - Mountain Lake Campground
    - a full stereo looks really weird in a supposedly off-grid, remote fishing spot/camping ground
    https://64.media.tumblr.com/0fd8eede3cb81f5c07bd9655926fd0c5/dab725633799d410-33/s2048x3072/4a300c06cc62f1900b6e905a916bda999c9a4f92.jpg
    Now this is a lot where a seasonal marker would make sense. The large bonfire is not useable during winter (if snow too high), and stereo and juice barrel look weird in winter, too. Same as sleeping bags on the ground. There is a mod at MTS that unlocks the permanent tents that can be found in vacation worlds (so no third party content, just making EA content available in the catalogue): https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?p=3390100#post3390100 which would be a better choice.

    @VincentT,

    Oh I forgot to mention this, the point of the seasonal lot marker on the Junkyard is that junk from the previous season is supposed to be arriving there. That's why you see the Halloween / Spooky Day stuff in the Christmas / Snowflake Day season there for example. That's the point of it. The place in the Junkyard basement is actually supposed to be kind of disgusting, so I don't think I will put tables down there, but thanks for the suggestion.

    @Damienf519 Maybe to clarify: I mention stuff I think might break the immersion of players. You don't know how others play, there is as much variety as there are players. Hence my thoughts might be totally irrelevant for many players and it's totally up to you to listen or to ignore. There is no need to defend anything you do, I'm just giving a different perspective here.

    I wouldn't have commented on the Acorn Meadows Performing Arts if I hadn't wondered why my sim, who lives just across the street, takes so long to get to his workplace. I was afraid he might have been stuck. Then I realized that first he had to walk to the back of the huge lot, go down some stairs, and then walk all the way back again. There is nothing like "you're supposed to" in gameplay. Some players will notice, some won't care about it. Sometimes sims don't go home immediately after work but decide to idle or read a book, so players might check on them. That's why I mentioned it. Of course you don't have to do anything about it.

    About the stereo: it's not about electricity, it's about a full audio system, surely costly, that is obviously not portable standing outside on the (wet) ground in rain, snow, hail. That's just not plausible. I'd expect a smaller boom box on a table, something that people bring with them and take home again. Same with the bot building station at the Bookworms household. I don't find it plausible that a surely costly, high-tech appliance like that is put in the garden to endure rain, hail, snow and have birds poop on it. I didn't mention that because as a player I'll just move it inside. Most players redecorate the home lots they are playing anyway. It's different with community lots though.

    Also about lots not being connected to roads: I didn't suggest to move them, I suggested to use sidewalks (invisible ones preferably) and setting the front of the lot to improve routing to and from those lots.

    Overall the world runs smooth, even when it snows. No stuck sims yet except for the occasional stuck horse, but that's buggy EA horse routing.
