World Suggestions

@Springfairy556 A world like Coventry was exactly what I was looking for. I loved the look of it and couldn't wait to play it, but it was never finished. Then I tried to make my own world similar to Coventry, but CAW was way more difficult than I thought it would be :D But, basically what everyone has been saying. An American small town, colonial style houses, plenty of trees and just a cozy feel to everything. I live in the desert where hardly any grass grows and majority of trees are palms. So, I live through my sims to experience environments that I would never see in real life, lol.

Yes Ai been searching ages for world like that.I waited patiently for Coventry and was sad when it got abandoned.

Stuck down in Icky florida now.

Florida has a lot of different but easier to define feels to it as well. The panhandle, the central part of the state, the two coasts, the Keys, and Miami/Ft Laud are like entirely different worlds from each other. And, very sorry to say and try not to do so in front of my relatives who have retired and moved down there, I can't stand any of them. My condolences.

But then there's key lime pie. Every region has at least one redeeming quality. :)

Sarasota is far from charming to say the least.Yet everyone flocks here.However there are some beautiful areas such as Myakka City, Inverness
Like my mom says if anymore people move to Florida we're gonna reach our weight capacity lol

Salmon Woods is pretty close to the look of New England, I guess. You could change the lots and houses to get that more "salt box" type of vibe.
Change some of the clunky rabbit hole buildings into those quaint looking shops you see near the waterfronts. Add in a few trees that have more color year round and boom...there you go! (I do not care for the color of the roads in SW, but that can only be fixed in CAW.)

Now I'm getting ideas :wink:

Here is some info about what constitutes the different styles of New England - https://www.ninahendrick.com/seven-elements-new-england-style/

You Yankees from New England do have a positive, or perhaps appropriated as such, stereotype of 'ingenuity and know-how', very fitting. And the poem was beautiful. I have read some of Robert Frost from before, but just now found a friend of his, from Olde England, just as lovely.

I'm in Arkansas right now and it's pretty much backwoods, winding roads, and country life. ;)
Lived in Washington State, up state, and it was pretty much backwoods, winding roads, and country life. Left South Carolina and it was by an Air Force base but it was a small town, winding roads, and country life.

That's why I'm always confused about what makes it "New England." It must be the houses. Although the older houses are pretty much the same.

I think it's generally the architecture. That makes it "New England". Styles like the 17th Century Colonial, Georgian, Federal and Greek Revival with a scattering of Victorian style, usually in bright colors.

Across the border on the West Coast, we have mostly Victorian style houses; the ones that haven't been torn down due to McMansions and Vancouver Specials, because most of the people that came over to colonize north of the border were from England and the British Isles. Each region seems to have its own unique style on the East Coast.

You'll find that Canada's Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have similar architecture as the United States "New England" style.

Especially when you take a look at the proximity of NB and NS to Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. ;)

Even more so, it comes from the culture of the area.
Whether it be Maritimers (Canadians) or New Englanders (Americans), they're salt-of-the-earth, forthright and straight-forward old English/British Isles stock folks and that's one of the nice things about that area of both Canada and the United States. They don't pussy-foot around. One of these times, if I can manage it...both financially and health-wise, I'd love to drive across Canada and visit the East Coast of Canada. I've always had a fascination with the East Coast to see the architecture and get to know the culture of the Maritimes.

Is there any way to find the original Granite Falls world files? (Open TS4 package contents, contents, GP01, worlds, areas, and it shows the three .world files)
I accidentally replaced the original files. :s

Hi tipsytang, the thread your commenting on is about the sims 3.You'll want to
post your sims 4 questions: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/bd-p/The-Sims-4 here or
https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/categories/ts4-discussion
As they are different games, it would be different steps to fix, and I don't think TS4 has a create a world.
