Scot here - your initial impression of us got a laugh out of me ?.
I’m obviously biased here but I would love a Scottish world. I’d love a downtown area that looked like Edinburgh, it’s my favourite city IRL.
I also like when Maxis/EA make a world that draws inspiration from a few different places, and I’d like to see a world that was an amalgamation of Scandinavia/Scotland/Ireland - I think that would be really cool!
@_hanzolo - oh good, I meant it with great affection, not offense. <3 Plus, I actually really want all of those things in my game! That golf course in Oasis Springs and Newcrest is such a tease! I agree with you about combining a few different places for inspiration. While Japan makes a beautiful setting, I think a little less specific and a wider Asian scope would have been beneficial for SE. I like the combination of Scandinavia/Scotland/Ireland - more of a Celtic influence? What sort of things would you like in it? If it was an EP as @davina1221 suggested, we could have a City neighbourhood inspired by Edinburgh with catacomb exploring, North England and the "Moors" with werewolves, the Highlands with haunted castles, and then give me a tin whistle from Ireland! :)

Same here I laughed so hard, I'm Scottish I dont have red hair I'm blonde ?, I cant play the bagpipes but i do eat haggis lol, I'm female so I've never wore a kilt lol, I do have the accent and people outside Scotland find it hard too understand me hahaha, we do have alot of historical landmarks, I work at a hotel and a guest asked me if there was a lift (elevator) at the Wallace monument lol I was like well it was built centuries ago so nope, you've got too walk up all them stairs hahaha, I would love a Scottish inspired world, theres alot more too Scotland than red hair, kilts and bagpipes ?, once you get away from the buildings, it has amazing untouched natural beauty, we have alot of farm life, fields, if you go further up north in Scotland, you can see the northern lights, the orkneys has a sea that looks like the Caribbean water, our weather is awful however but atleast it keeps the grass green lol , type orkney Scotland in Google to see what talking about its beautiful, the northern lights are seen in orkney,
@Nikkih - that reminds me of such a vivid memory I have of the time I first met a Scottish couple. I was only a young teenager and I couldn't understand a word they were saying, but they were so friendly, I just kept nodding and smiling. I was surprised when they showed up the next night to take me to their place - apparently I had agreed to babysit their kids! lol Scotland looks awe-inspiring, and I also read that a few years ago it was voted "The most beautiful place in the world!" I hope I can get over there to visit before I get too old for travel. (I'm from Australia).

@Nikkih it was a misunderstanding haha. I thought this thread was about a werewolves pack idea with a world inspired by the Scottish Highlands. I deleted the paragraph that I wrote about the legendary werewolves of Ireland -since werewolves are probably more prominent in Irish folkore than Scottish folklore (but hey prove me wrong!)- and then I realized this thread is about Happy Haunts and not Werewolves at all! My little paragraph about werewolves suddenly made no sense whatsoever.
No doubt you’ve got some true Scots running around in kilts (and bare bttcks) over there in the Highlands...I don’t expect otherwise...It’s what some of us do over here too, werewolves or not. ?
@CAPTAIN_NXR7 - awwww noooo! Quick! Type it all out again, I want to read about the werewolves of Ireland! Any ideas are fun to read. This is just a speculation thread, I wondered what the developers have in mind by offerening the Highlands as an option, but who knows, if they read a more interesting idea they may changed their mind, or incorporate some aspect of it. What would you like in your game, more inspiration from Ireland?
