Can anyone recommend me a world? (EA or Custom. Feel free to show me yours!)

I'm looking for a new world to play in. It does not have to have any finished lots. Lots placed in CAW, yeah but I can fill the world myself, no problem.

I'm not good at remembering what worlds look like, but what I wish for is:

Beach area (useable beach, quite large area so I can have several beach lots and atleast one beach home)
Harbor area (more industrial looking)
Flat normal living area
Deep forest area, preferably on mountain to get best view of sunsets etc. No view of normal city (unless from height)

important note: No ugly effects! No stupid sailboat dipping around, no rainbow or hot air ballon or idiotic birds flying into my house and no fog seeping into my house. I am SO sick of gorgeous towns that are unplayable because there's hundred effects crammed into it with those ugly balloons and boats, fog effects you cant deleted because not on any lot, but fog still seeps inside homes. No misplaced trees placed later so the trunks are sticking out or hovering, or birds flying into your house because they didn't check that the lot was placed where they spawn. And no waves hovering 20 feet up in the air from the water. Just.......normal, functioning worlds.

Sorry for the rant, I'm just so sick of these things. I make worlds too and have been working on one to fit my needs - but my CAW is very temperamental :(

People are SO talented with their worlds, it's amazing. I'm sure there are some that suit my needs.

Are there any EA worlds that might fit me? Or maybe you know someone who's made a world like this - or maybe you even made one yourself?

I don't need anything special. Just a normal world really. I'm just tired of all these effects that cant be moved after. It's quite annoying building a house and then when you start playing there's fog all around or a flock of birds plowing through your home several times a day.

  • I like a little bit of both, but I do like some bigger lots for community places/beaches and stuff. Either way, I usually change things in Edit town anyway. I can always place lots myself if I need more, etc. So no worries there.

    I prefer mostly pine trees in the mountains. Not fall colors, since I've got seasons anyway I get fall colours when there are falls, haha :)
  • I realized you won't like this world. :(
    I did add1 rainbow effect in one fall. I also put a fog emitter in the little swamp area. This fog emitter won't go into the house. There are two types.

    Did you find a world you like?
    If you want, you can have the world files to see if you can edit it to your liking. :)

    Hi :mrgreen:
    Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoy them. :cookie: :heart:

  • @Pary
    That is looking great!
    I really wish I had the talent to build my own world, finding
    certain worlds is sometimes a challenge.

    There is very few worlds with industrial harbor. :confused:

    Maybe try Sunlit Tides? It's very beach-y world and have vulcanic mountains with jungle. It's regularly on sale on daily deal, just need to keep eye on rotation cycle.

    From players-made worlds you might like to try:
    - The Stoneshields, Grey Meadow or Huntsborough by Quailhogs (though the firts two are sometimes quite foggy)
    - Evansdale County, Anne Arbor or SimLau Isles by MySimRealty
    - Norderby, Norresand by Mammut
    - Shigeria by Cappu

    Check out also other worlds from sims catalog and simzoo. At simzoo there's many spacious worlds with not much effects, so you might like them.


    Quailhogs' worlds are AMAZING! You'll get so much more than an industrial harbor with them. Especially if you love deep, dark storylines.

    That actually sounds a lot like many of the worlds I’ve created, minus the deep forest, since I have to avoid placing too many trees since it tends to cause lag for me. None of my maps however have an industrial looking harbor and the only world that has one that I can think of is EA’s Bridgeport, that came with Late Night.

    The world I’m currently working on will technically have multiple beaches, but only a single beach lot, and pretty much the only houses near the beach are either on a cliff over looking the ocean, or they’re mansions.

    I might recommend the first world that I created, Kellog Island, but I have no idea where to find it, and I was never able to upload it to the exchange. It was also incredibly laggy since I had no idea what I was doing at the time. Also it was made when the only EP that existed was World Adventures, so even if I could find it and it worked perfectly, it would be missing everything from every other EP
