World: San Sequoia
Sim Age
Premades: Kyle
Temporary Stay System
- loosely inspired by San Francisco suburbs, which have a variety of feels
- Hopewell Hills neighborhood: "sleepy suburbs", nicely spaced out houses. "Old Stumpy" is a remnant of the world's one-time sequoia trees. Sims can walk out onto the marina. The trailer Michaelson family lives here. One empty lot. Start home by Lilsimsie, with 4 bedrooms.
- Anchor Point Wharf neighborhood: more of a city vibe. Robles family lives here. Library, movie theater, public piano.
- third neighborhood: large park with an old house, can swim in that pond but there's a crocodile, area for group walks, splash pad (bring your dog! hold your infant! most pieces also in Build/Buy to create your own). Rec center.
Sim Age
- new cross-age interactions, especially new Elder interactions
- Life lessons from Elders can have added effect with Parenthood installed
- family kiss between most Sim ages
Premades: Kyle
- Might invite himself over for a few days even though your Sims doesn't seem to know him.
- "What a dreamboat" - GrimSuruDoi
- Knows stuff about San Sequoia
Temporary Stay System
- Sims visiting bring a suitcase. Suitcase is also in the catalog. Has dresser functions.
- Can present itself as an opportunity with a call, eg. extended family, family friends, long-lost family member trying to reconnect
- Calendar shows how long the Sim(s) visiting will be there.
- You can ask visitors to help out.
- Can use Calendar to initiate a temporary stay by inviting someone over, select length of stay
