I'm not big on desert worlds. Having the full experience of seasons is so vital to me. I'll only ever have my sims visit this world like every other world that doesn't have seasons. I'm glad that the horses, sheep and goats aren't tied to the world.

Oasis Springs and Strangerville have seasons. It just doesn't snow... unless I'm missing something. :/

Waiting for the map is always the hardest part. It sounds like three neighborhoods, and it sounds like at least 12 (but maybe only 12) lots. I have so many ideas now, though, so it's hard to be patient and see how my ideas fit the actual world.

This. I don't usually like large lots but this time I'm hoping for one so I combine farming, ranching, and gardening.

Well, as I said, having the full experience of the seasons is most important to me. There may be some variation in the desert worlds, but it just isn't anywhere near enough.

The largest lot will probably be taken up by the horse activity center with the show jumping and barrel racing. I wish they would give us another empty 64 x 64 lot to build on. I'm so tired of small lots. They are everywhere.

Well, it does sometimes snow in Arizona, so hopefully instead of just having a kneejerk design of "desert= no snow," maybe it will have at least the occasional light snowfall, even if it doesn't stick. I mean, how pretty would that be in the national park area.

Most probably this will be the case. It snows in Oasis Springs and Strangerville in the winter when the weather is really bad, but the snow doesn't accumulate on the ground.

I hope the lots are 16..

ah ok I wasn't sure if it did or not. good to know! :smile:

I use a weather mod that fine tunes weather to match each world. It snowed once for me in Oasis Springs which I was excited to see but it was super glitchy looking. I assumed EA never intended for snow in OS and it was the mod making it possible.

To me, Oasis Springs feels like Palm Springs. Chestnut Ridge feels more like Montana or Wyoming. I don't think it's accurate to label it as just another "desert" world, at least from what we've seen so far.

Tell me why this is an EP and not a GP? I'm not a horse enthusiast, this seems very niche for an EP. If the world is amazing I will buy it at launch, otherwise I will probably wait for a sale so I'm paying something closer to a GP.

Almost all the EP's are niche though. EP vs. GP is determined by how much is in the pack, not the theme.

Too funny, I have always felt that Oasis Springs was like Palm Springs too, I mostly have community lots there.
