Meredith Cove Update 1/12/2022 - A Fix for the Old Church ( Tomb ) is Here!

Update 11/13/2021 and Update 2/6/2022

The City of Meredith Cove is a town nestled in the middle of where an alpine mountain biome and a swamp biome meet. It is home to the famous Tri Coasters Amusement Park and an extremely disturbing mystery as of late. The town is being invaded by mummies and a mysterious cult that worships the most evil entity in the sim universe seems to be involved. What are the Tragic Clown Cult's plans?

Explore the town, and solve the mystery, or uncover some unrelated secrets or maybe just sit back and have fun at the amusement park, but whatever you do, watch out for mummies.

The world requires, all expansion packs, World of Wonder Carousel Collection, The Boardwalk, the Level up Collection, and these additional free store sets.

1. No Tricks Just Treats
2. The Sims Strike Back
3. In the Dawn of Sims
4. Happy Halloween : Gory Goodies
5. Modern HDTV by Webbsta Industries
6. Eye of the Bolder 10
7. More Holiday Presents
8. Honeycomb Bookshelf
9. Happy Valentines Day 2014
10. Happy Holiday Presents
11. More Halloween Treats
12. Halloween Treats

No stuff packs required. No mods are CC were used either. That said, this is not a world for low end computers

The Final version of Meredith Cove called Meredith Cove Nightmare is here. It is on Media Fire and the Exchange

Here is the link for the saved game file. It should work no matter where you got the map, so long as it's the version entitled Meredith Cove Nightmare

Finally for those who need help or don't mind things being spoiled for them, here is a cheat sheet for all of the tombs and key stone locations

The Following Screenshots are out of date, but for the most part represent what the map currently looks like, but with some minor changes in some instances

This clown themed sports bar actually plays a small role in the world's lore. It's not directly connected to the Tragic Clown Cult, but it is connected the group's deceased founder

I personally think that giving all of the outdoor lights an orange glow makes things a lot creepier

This is the John Harris Memorial Gardens, originally I called it "The Clown Gardens," but I changed the name, and put the Arboretum on another lot. I wanted the name to appear on the map for lore reasons, and I didn't want people to confuse the John Harris Statue with the Tragic Clown, or think it was just of some random innocent clown.

Here's the new lot I created specifically for the Arboretum

Another creepy abandoned building. There are a lot of these around town.

A creepy campground, and an even creepier abandoned house

The Junkyard and another abandoned home

Oh and finally, what would a spooky mummy infested town, with a malevolent cult without a cemetery?

    Update 11/28/2021

    The Second Beta for Meredith Cove should be here sometime on December 5th assuming nothing goes wrong. There are still a couple problems that I have found that need fixing, and I will do my best to fix them. I will also start working on the first saved game file so that it can be here soon after the second beta is released. Hope you are all doing well and to my American play testers, I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving.

    Thanks for your help @Silence_435. I will bring all that into consideration.

    I probably will leave the dive wells out of most of the tombs, only because I want them to be kind of deadly, also they don’t look right in most of them. The Addresses will be added before the final version. It’s just that I don’t like to add them if there’s any significant chance that I will add or remove a lot, or move stuff around, because it’s difficult to keep track of them, and I don’t want to have to redo them.

    So I tested the world and first of all I like it and I really love the Graveyard :blush:
    but some things could be change (and of course it is only my opinion ):

    1. some spots in the landscape look a little bit flat and empty, a couple of hills or mountains would be nice.

    2. It would be awesome if some of the abandoned places were actually haunted. (That works if you take some real Tombstones from died sims/pets)

    3. At the "Not so far away" lot (respectively in all Crypts) you need a Fountain, so that you can erase yourself if you go up in flammes (I think that happen really often :sweat_smile: )

    4. It’s kinda sad that all abandoned places are rabbit holes and you can't actually interact with them... In the Sims 3 it's not too difficult to build an abandoned place 'cause you have the CAP Tool :)

    5. There is no address yet (but I think you fix this soon)

    6. I also noticed that a some of the buildings (like the
    library or some of the houses) have rooms that are just too big. This and too little decorations make them look empty.

    So I hope my tips where useful and you implement some of it :blush:

    If you still need any help text me on Discord, I would like to build something for your world :wink:

    Update 11/7/2021

    I made a lot more progress and pretty much finished creating the top half the map. Now all I have to do is build the bottom half, including the houseboats and the dive lots, and it should be time for the public BETA to begin. In the meantime, checkout my Tumbr for some up to date screenshots

    Here are the first screenshots for the world. I wish I could have gotten more done by now, but I really wanted to be able to at least announce my creepy new horror themed world before Halloween. Keep in mind that it is still not done, and I still have a large number of lots to work on, including some of the tombs. I haven't even gotten started on any of the houseboats as of yet.

    This is the Tri Coasters Amusement Park. It's not that big, but it's massive by Sims 3 standards.

    Here are some of the houses. You can just barely make out the two waterfalls in the distance
    https://www.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000/shard000/825/650/019/00/screenshot_original.jpg

    Ironically for such a creepy town, the cemetery is not that creepy, but than again, perhaps there is something much scarier hidden underneath.
