🦇 As an unashamed scaredy cat, I'd like to do a bit more with Forgotten Hollow too but I'd like to be able to edit the village square. I'm not going to play Vampire characters (because yikes) and I've deleted the premade ones (sorry to Vlad, Caleb and their bitey pals). I agree the world has so much potential. I just can't decide what to do with it. Currently, my gardeners, anglers and explorers go there to harvest odd plants and things like that.
I'm thinking of adding a church on Vlad's now uninhabited lot. Maybe some holiday homes on the other lots. I was going to add a retail lot but changed my mind. I'd also really like to be able to explore the cave if it could just be opened up.
It would probably have to be a pack refresh to make changes to a world layout but we have had a pack refresh before. So you never know 🧛
I agree, it would be fabulous to have a pack refresh or even another pack. There have been many requests for this with some amazing ideas of how the cave could be used as a portal to another world. Personally, I have always considered a mini-quest involving a sim becoming a vampire to open the cave then overcoming the vampirism and becoming sim again to complete the quest and unlock the gates to the underworld that Vlad (or his ancestors) had locked thus trapping the fairies and dragons. This would enable bringing fairies and dragons into the game, even if it was only through a secondary world like sixam or magic realm…
Although it could be that the cave is locked up because it is actually a time portal….
- @OzSimsFamily I saw a comment elsewhere where a player said the cave was a secret portal to Moonwood Mill but only goes one way and that you can start out in the underground tunnels there and suddenly appear outside the Forgotten Hollow cave. But I've had loads of attempts at this and it's never happened. It must be very rare that it happens and maybe it's linked to Vampire/Werewolf powers. I haven't played as either of those occults. I've only explored the Moonwood Mill tunnels with a Spellcaster or non occults.
Having fairies or dragons locked on the other side of it would be so awesome though! - @Rockhemian I would like a nightclub/bar like the ones the other occults have. Moonwood Mill has a bar and also Glimmerbook has one, Forgotten Hollow currently has none.
agreed we need more things in Forgotten Hollow, not just for the vampire sims but also for normal sims
make more lots and make the world bigger similair to Moonwood Mill you can atleast explore things around and maybe even add a secret cave/world for vampires only or something
having new collections (can't think of any)
similair to spellcasters they can train how to control themselves more etc
a vampire bar where they can discuss about things
can't think of other things but i often forget Forgotten Hollow exist
I don't think adding new lots would ever be possible, but i understand your thoughts as i'm always changing things there trying to make it more... undead (?).
Like... the village square needs to be more active, maybe having some fairy lights and maybe plasma and plasma fruit stalls (or just the seasons ones would be enough). I'd also like to have a gatheing space up the distorted tree hill, thats why we need a World Decoration Tool, so we can do it ourselves.
I wish we had more townies and lore throught the town, about forgotten lady, fairies , the tombstone on the lake, etc. I really wish they could give us Vasmer Balke and his Emporium, the Vladislaus coffin shop, the cave leading us to somewhere (I'd accept Forgotten Grotto), etc.I would also love more space in Forgotten Hollow or maybe a new world but with same vibe. I am thinking a quiet village with a steam train and train station up in the mountains. And maybe more forest area to explore. It doesn't need to be about vampires, it could be about hiking or something else mountain related. Currently, the world is too small to make much of it. I put a restaurant and a rental house in it and I would love to turn Vlad's lot into a cemetery above and bar/vampire club underground. There's no space left for vampires and such. Ravenwood would have been a good choice as an extension to Forgotten Hollow because of the theme, but they disabled the seasons and made it way too bright and colourful.
not a vampire related pack but i created this one not that long ago that might complement with Forgotten Hollow very well A new pack idea that's a mix of a hotel and spooky combined themes | EA Forums - 12241872 (the details are in the comment)
i so hope they make that pack, my world idea is probably the most similar to Forgotten Hollow...both abandoned place, dark themed vibes, just slightly more lots, it may match with the werewolve one too😍😍
the first spooky abandoned pack that actually comes with a world👻👻
