Where are the worlds in the timeline?

Hey, people!
So, i was trying to figure out were each sims 3 worlds would be set, but i am having a little of trouble with some of them.
I know that Twinbrook isbefore Sunset Valley, cuz Notzo should be adult with a child already if Twinbrook was in the same time as SV. Bridgeport had an easter egg in Twinbrook where you could see a big town in the distance. Then, in Bridgeport we can see Twinbrook in the distance.
I dont have any real way to say that, but Twinbrook and Bridgeport are probably contemporaneous. The only relation they may have is Ricky Bailey and Buddy Bailey, but one is a black guy and the other is a white guy. I just pretend that they are adopted brothers, or they have a mixed family, cuz Ricky is kinda tan (although he lives in Bridgeport were all the celebrities probably get artifical tan).

After that we have Sunset Valley (25 years prior Sims 1). Hidden Springs is in the same time period, there is a Alto brother of Nick living in there (its confirmed this time, haha). Riverview is in the same time, although Skip Broke shouldnt be born when Betty and Bob were teenagers, but... maybe he is older than Brandi, but didnt had time to become an elder before dying. Frida is Gunthers sister, and she is in Moonlight Falls. ALtought Titania and Oberon appear in there, they probably have lived longer lives than a normal sim, cuz they are fairies. Frida and her uncle are dead, but not for too many time as the household of Ghosts was later joined by a fortune-telling band manager Helen Hall, who met Samuel at a convention.
Makes sense to think that the University and the World Adventures destinations are all set at the same time as Sunset Valley.

After that we have Aurora Skies, which is set at the same time as Sims 1, and we can see the Beakers living there. There is a guy, from a family know as Mango. They appear in Isla Paradiso and Sunlit Tides, but those are probably a little while after Sims 1. Monte Vista, Dragonvalley, Midnight Hollow, Roaring Heights are also all before Sims 2 started. I can even suggest that Sims 4 could totally fit between Sims 1 and 2 if we deleted the Landgraabs and the Calientes.

Everything that was release in the Sims 2 era belongs to Pleasantview timeframe. Even the Life/Castaway/Pet Stories...

Then we have Barnacle Bay, after Sims 2, cuz we have the Calientes who escaped Pleasantview after they messed everything up.

Obviously, Lunar Lakes and Oasis Landing are all many, many years after all of that.

But, i have no idea where would i fit Starlight Shores and Appaloosa Plains. Anyone have suggestions? Help hahaha
I know that it doesnt actually mean anything cuz some stuff are a mess, like the Landgraabs from Sunset Valley not matching the Landgraabs from Bluewater Village, but i love all of the characters from the sims series.

edit: (ops, i should have posted this in the General Discussions, sorry)

  • Also I found small easter egg - ther's a character called Sir Percival J. Worthington IV in MySims Kingdom & Agents. And he's a piggy <3
  • @Karon

    When it comes to Appaloosa Plains I have a little bit more complicated theory (as if my Starlight Shores theory wasn't complicated enough XDDD)

    So this town is either in the same time frame as Barancle Bay (most likely) or the same as Isla Paradiso, Sunlit Tides, Monte Vista, Dragonville, Midnight Hallow, Roaring Heights & Lucky Palms. But I would go for the Barancle Bay here's why:

    So while researching any info about families in Appaloosa Plains one caught my attention bcs of their name - The Parrott family. Which turns out they appear in Appaloosa Plains, Sunlit Tides as well as Island Paradise.

    Let's start with Gregory Parrott who is a townie of Isla Paradiso. His bio says that he's only on a trip to the islands and he's on his way to Sunlit Tides to visit his cousins.

    The cousins are Clementine, Ramona & Lucretia Parrott (as well as their 4th sister Beverly that is dead at the start of the game). There's also an NPC called Carissa Parrott that works as a firefighter.

    My theory is that Carissa is a mother of Gregory and that she's working there away from home XDD why?? Because they both share blond hair, brown eyes, similar lips, they both wear sunglasses as well as they both have exact same skin tone.

    So back to the Parrott sisters from Sunlit Tides their connection with the Parrott family from Appaloosa Plains is not clear. But my theory is that they and Kanoa and his brother Kale are cousins.

    So Parrott family from Appaloosa Plains bio says that they moved from Hawaii, which in The Sims universe would be represented by cities of Sunlit Tides & Island Paradise. The family consist of Kanoa Parrott, Jazelyn Parrott-Shepard and their children Ethan Parrott and not yet born child because Jazelyn is pregnant with Kanoa (even tho he has affair with two women smh). There's also Kanoa's brother - Kale who is a NPC and works as a firefighter (which is another connection with Carissa Parrott who's also a firefighter but back in Sunlit Tides).

    So as I said I think that Kanoa & Kale Parrott are cousins of Parrott triplets from Sunlit Tides (who are cousins of Gregory Parrott from Isla Paradiso XDDD).

    But there's more I think that the Shepard family (the family of Jazelyn) comes from island descent as well. Why?? She has two sisters - Alani (who is a townie) and Hailey Shepard. They all have dark skintone, brown hair as well as eyes. The name Alani sounds so tropical to me (XDD) also when you look at her everyday outfit it is very summer-ish for living in such country town as Appaloosa Plains.

    So as I said earlier I think this town might be in the same time frame as Barancle Bay bcs they moved from Hawaii (probably Sunlit Tides or Isla Paradiso - which comes earlier in the timeline).

    Sorry for my crappy explanation I hope you understand them.
  • @Karon I also have a question ? what is the connection between Wolff family in SV to the one in Moonlight Falls + connection of Cornelia Goth-Crumplebottom & Agnes Crumplebottom with the Crumplebottom sisters from Moonlight Falls?? :D because I have a feeling this town might not be in the sams time frame as SV, but I just cannot find any info that would have helped me determined where is it located on a timeline :D
  • @kr3nt0cz I'm really sorry that I disappeared. I didn't receive any notifications that you mentioned me, friend.
    I agree with you that Starlight Shores is before Sunset Valley, but I also think its set after Twinbrook alongside Bridgeport... Like 25 years or so.
    To me, Moonlight Falls also happens before Sunset Valley. The Crumplebottom witches could be Agnes and Cornelias aunts, while the Goths there most likely died no long before Moonlight Falls (because Gunther's older sister is there, but I don't think she's too much older than him). We have Titania and Oberon Summerdream, which normally would make us think its set during Sims 1 or between 1 and 2, but they are fairies in Sims 3, and that occult has a longer lifespan than the regular sims. They are younger than in Sims 2 (in appearance and behaviour) although its swapped whos the older of the two. haha
    I don't know how the Wolffs could be connected, maybe Thornton is one of the heirs, probably.
