Daephene's New Save

That intro was longer than I intended! Now for a little world building. 

Centuries ago, in a mysterious event that has since faded into myth, sims from a wide variety of places on earth found themselves transported to a small continent none of them had seen before.  They could find no way to return to their homes, so they set about making new lives in this place they named SimNation. They built themselves towns and cities that resembled the homes they remembered. For some reason there were more American sims than any other nationality, which is why there are places that resemble several different American cities now, while sims from multiple cultures of Europe, Asia, and South America joined together to create places that resembled more than one Earthly source. 

The affected sims never did find out where they were or how they got there, and after multiple generations no one really believes in the fabled Earth anymore.  For modern sims, SimNation is their home. It consists of the small continent with a large inland sea in the middle next to a mountain range, a second landmass to the south that is much more sparsely populated and is home to Selvadorada, a chain of islands off the west coast that is known as Sulani, and a much colder chain of islands off the northeast coast that is home to Mt. Komorebi. As the sim population redeveloped technology such as high speed rail, the city of San Myshuno on the shore of the inland sea became a central hub for all of the small continent. There are 10 rail lines linking San Myshuno to the coastal settlements, with inland towns and cities clustered along them. All of the other worlds are included, except for Granite Falls which is up in the more remote areas of the mountains, and they all have easy access to Sany Myshuno, its suburb Newcrest, and the nearby town of Copperdale which boasts the prestigious Copperdale High School that just about everyone sends their teens to. 

In the next post I will begin to detail all the changes I have been making to the worlds as I set up this save.
