What is your favorite Custom World that is often overlooked?

For me, it's Gyeongbokgong. It's a South Korean-inspired world created by a South Korean creator. The creator has uploaded this work of art to his/her own website-blog (affiliated to Naver, a South Korean company) and the Sims 3 Exchange.

Personally, I love it because it is an Asian-themed world that is actually residential. Too many worlds out there would have modern Western architecture; this one is unique because it is East Asian-themed and residential. The creator has done a pretty good job with the layouts of the houses; they are believable and realistic. The creator also doesn't use rabbithole rugs, but instead, would bury the Maxis-made rabbitholes underground OR would create a Western-style business district.

Too often, I like to set up an Asian storyline to go along with it. I once created a female Sim from Korea who left home to pursue Buddhism in China. I also created a male Sim in Korea who left home to pursue Buddhism in China. I just pretended that it's roughly the Joseon-era, before the Japanese colonial era.
  • I rarely see Auberon mentioned, a really nice populated city world by Simdaisies.

  • Hello - would you include a link to that world? Just curious!

    I don't think this world is overlooked but I love Hylewood by @Nilxis

    https://thesimscatalog.com/sims3/downloads/worlds/medium/gyeongbok-palace/ - there's the link. @KatyFernlily. It's by Museaka or Hanogi (on EA's Exchange) They're the same person.

    Anyways, mine is Lost Cove. It's a bit post-apocalyptic...a long time after what destroyed it. It used to be a city, but now it's an overgrown wilderness. It's extremely enjoyable to play in. https://modthesims.info/d/532114/lost-cove.html
  • The medieval world of Praaven.

    (Reworked version here which is wonderful! And it includes link to the Original world download. :) )

    And someday I will get around to writing a Sims story with it. :star: Stay tuned for that one everyone! :blush:
  • I agree with @emorrill I'm a little too obsessed with praaven though.XD
    Done multiple stories with it.LOL

    Gorgeous world!
  • This is exactly the kind of thread I was looking for, My favorite custom world right now is The Wild, Wild West which was created by TS3 Creators’ Consortium. It's a beautiful world that is great for storytelling. The backstory is that it is a former wild west town that is now a touristy place. There's also everything you could possibly want in a world including but not limited to: saloons, bars, an adventure base, a martial arts academy and so much more.

    A personal highlight for me is a tomb in the world called The Old Mine. There's some treasure to find and it's just a great set piece in general.
