Has anyone played in the Woeford world?

Question

I usually play in Lucky Palms, in a lot that I add at the end of a dirt road, and placed a run down shack. I love rags to riches, grunge, and apocalypse type stories. I just discovered Woeford. This is my first time seriously playing in a custom world.

I am not sure what has been added for lighting, but my game has never looked this good. The strawberry chocolate UI is a pretty good match. Not quite the match that it was in Lucky Palms with the Perfect Day lighting mod, but still quite good.

I think it is interesting that trend is still to mod Sim 3 to look more like Sims 4, when the trend in Sims 4 is to mod it to look warmer and darker. It all comes back full circle. LOL. So I am skipping anything cartoony or bright, and trying to excentuate the default asthetics of Sime 3. I wish there were a peach chocolate UI, similar to the Strawberry Chocolate UI, but I love pink, so I actually do love the Strawberry Chocolate even if it is not a perfect match.

The starter homes in Woeford are quite nice, but I have gradually perfect the Hermit Cabin over the years, so I added it to my game.

I am still figuring out what is happening with population. There is no population, but there are Sime working on the community lots? Are they randomly generated? What is up with the Alpha and the Beta? I see houses set aside for them. But the game is unpopulated? Is there a set of residents to download somewhere.

Can we buy books? I need to refresh myself in how rugs work, and then decide if I should add a bookstore. Maybe there is not supposed to be a way to buy books? I think it was at the food depot that I saw a bookcase with skill books that I can just read there. I cannot order books on the tablet.

I can see a lot of work and thought went into this game, but I don't know where to find out more information about it. I feel like I am playing blind. But I can adapt to that, if I add that feeling into my gameplay. I guess it adds things to discover over time or just remains a mystery. LOL.

Hello! The sims you're seeing man the registers and such are all service sims, but they don't really live in town (i.e. on a lot). You might have to place your own sims from the bin, or otherwise use a story progression mod (like the nraas one) that has immigration pressure to get sims to actually move in. Here's the NRaas Story Progression page on how to do it: https://www.nraas.net/community/StoryProgression-FAQ-Immigration

As for the bookstore, it looks like the world was made using cc rabbithole rugs, so you should have a bookstore but don't currently because the cc for it was never installed. You might have to install the rugs and start a new save(?) to see them, although there's a trick where you can put the actual rabbithole buildings in the basement of community lots to get the same functionality without the mod.

Glad you're enjoying your game so much, cheers!!

Thanks for replying Sarathewise​ ! I had to abandon Woeford after the last Nvidia update. No matter which driver I force to install, I either break Nvidia, or Woeford has giant tears in it. I have been playing in the smaller world Miner's Cover. I am still learning how rabbit holes and registers and all the rest of this works. In Miner's Cove, I added a bookstore rabbit hole which successfully counted as a bookstore. In Woeford, there was a manned register that sold books but did not count as a bookstore. I really enjoy playing in apocalyptic worlds, but the learning curve is steep in learning to manage them.I just learned about the Lunar Lakes portals yesterday. They seem to be the smallest options to bury in the basements of community lots. I would love to experiment with them, but the price of Lunar Lakes, just to have the portals, is a bit too steep to justify.
