New world started - Dragonwyck

First, I decided to start a small farming island. It's not completely finished, but the bulk of the farming community is set up. The majority of the lots for this island are placed and landscaping around them is complete. The next area I'm planning to work on will be a military base.

Here's a few WIP screenshots from edit-in-game:

Hi :)
It looks Lovely!
Will it be a large map with different island themes?

Ooh that's a name I haven't seen for a very long time :)

Your world is looking really beautiful ! I read your blog, particularly about the vignettes, it's a great idea. I love the thought of having world decor, like the old truck you mentioned, actually be placed there with a reason to go and look at it, rather than just "be there".

Liking the farming area very much! Very interested in seeing your progress. :)

So nice to see someone else creating worlds again for Sims 3. Your farming area is lovely, and I, too, like the idea of the vignettes. I've bookmarked your blog and look forward to following along.

Your world looks great and it's fine to have empty lots or a blank world as that's how my Riverview makeover is going to be as it's the world getting the makeover.I wanted a blank version of Riverview for a legacy so I'm making it myself and others wanted a world similar to that.

Thanks! Yes, in a sense it will. I've planned an island for the farming community, a larger island for the more "town" area, and another for a military base with housing, ports, and things like that. It is a large map size, so I have space to change my mind and add more as I go if I decide to go that route. Most of the map is still just flat actually. :D I did add extra depth to the ocean before I started anything to be sure the kracken will spawn, but that's the majority of the terrainscaping/planning I've done beyond the area I'm working on.
One of my challenges will be making sure I plan enough housing to fill the various career spots while having enough available Sims to fill some of the other obligations, like bartenders and such. Thankfully I'm not planning too many bars. ;)

Yes! Mwahahaha! Great seeing you too! Thank you <3 I'm really enjoying building this way. It's like giving myself something to look forward to every few minutes! And I think it'll make gameplay much more fun since you can remember landmarks instead of just regions (like hey, the really good fish are near the dead tree!)

Thanks readypost! I have work for a few days (3 shifts in a row, each 12 hours) but then I'm right back to work on the world!

Thank you suzses! I'm excited to be creating again, and it's wonderful that people are still loving TS3! I look forward to your feedback as the world develops.

I have released a "lite" version of worlds in the past with just the empty lots, so I may do that again with this one, but not until after I've released the full version. I really want to flesh it out fully and part of that is building the lots so it has a complete story.

My work week is over and I get to work on my world again! I'm working on the military base this week. I'll post most of my progress over at the blog, but here's a glimpse:

Once again, I'm doing the initial landscaping, planning out lots, and adding interesting vignettes to the area (like the flag pole). Anything you think should be included on a military base that I may have missed?

Here's a quick picture update. For more details, check out the most recent blog post.

Hi :mrgreen:

It's so picturesque and lovely. Wonderful work. :+1:
