Sims 3 Lucky Palms

It is total rip off to pay full price for Lucky Palms all these years later, but ... I am not in great place mentally this week, so I splurged. In this IRL world that has gotten so much crazier since 2020, what is anything worth? So ... I stopped thinking about what anything is worth, and what is fair and not fair, and what might still work or not work by even next week, and I did what I wanted to do, today. And what I want to do today is play in Lucky Palms

I assume that we can garden in Lucky Palms since I see that there is a community garden. Are there any issues with heat and drought that affect gameplay for plants and people and animals and anything else? The real Las Vegas gets up to 117 degrees and that has a huge impact on so many daily activities, but this is the Sims and I am assuming that little of IRL 117 degrees applies.

I want to play rags-to-riches.

I bought Gold, but it looks like the casino is not automatically placed. Is there a lot that is the intended site for the casino? I don't really care about the casino right now, but I have bought quite a few items that cannot be applied to the large purchase later and I did not dare just buy the standard version.

Are there any micro homes on the gallery that are appropriate for Lucky Palms? The only available house on the docks has a lot of wasted space. I'd like to add something micro to the empty dock lot. I cannot garden there, though, unless I maybe added pots? I am not sure what a desert farm would look like and where it should be placed.

Las Vegas has so much fake everything that I guess anything goes, but buildings with ridiculous and out-of-place themes tend to be grouped together. It would be a lot of work, but I could create a neighborhood of almost anything, I guess. Maybe a neighborhood of earthship type home would be fun. Is there anything from the future packs that could be adapted to Lucky Palms? As I am writing, I think that is what I want to do. I think I want to add some type of sci-fi hippie type farm.

  • @DivinylsFan thanks for sharing! I do not have things set up to post picture. I like to look at the pictures that other people post.

    I love the diversity of neighborhoods in Lucky Palms. There is a place for every type of sim to live. And so much room to expand my favorite neighborhoods.
  • I spent a couple days playing Sims 4, but I am back in Lucky Palms.

    I though I would never find a place in the desert for the Mill and the Last Amore venue. I put them both in one of the crater areas since that is the area lowest to the water table. I am going to alter them a bit to look more like a colonial Spanish Fort that was later converted into a silly Las Vegas wedding spot. I love the church in the middle of the lot and the aged paint. The crater is not right on the road, but the area has beds and everything a sim needs to stay a while, and I will add more food options. That whole side of the road is focused on altered lots.

    This mod allowed me to add a stove to the Varg's Tavern and I created a Supernatural neighborhood around it.

    I moved the elixir shop next door. And put the Grim's Ghastly Manor close by. Then added a little 10x10 witchy cottage too.

    I just saw this Sons of Anarchy lot. I want to see if I can find all the pieces and add this a little farther down the road from the Supernatural neighborhood near the junkyard that I added.

    I placed the Boardwalk and the Olympian Gym next to the arena.

    Anything and everything goes in Lucky Palms as long as it goes in the right neighborhood.

    Yes indeedy.

    Including snow. Think Colorado, Utah, parts of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Although they have some barren, desert-like landscapes they do get snow.

    I like the old Spanish fort idea. There's loads of those to find in pictures for inspiration.

    Yes, Vegas gets snow! Thanks for the idea to look at pictures of forts! I just remembered that I got some wedding stuff on a sale. It will take a bit of tweaking, but I can make this work.
