Selvadorada Hype Thread [image heavy!]

I'm so excited for this new world, I can't even put it into words, I've wanted a jungle world for the longest time! So to help build my hype I wanted to make a fun thread full of jungle pictures to speculate how the new world of Selvadorada might look. Feel free to post your own pictures and join in the jungle fever! :blush:

Lets start with some little details that would help the world feel more unique from others in the game and hopefully keep true to real world jungles/rainforests:

Trees shrouded in mist would help set a mysterious mood in the world, couple this with the eerie ambient sounds of birds and monkeys calling from the treetops, and that would be such an immersive environment to play in, really helping to build the suspense and excitement of exploring the jungle.https://cdn.theculturetrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/1024px-brazilian_amazon_rainforest.jpg

A diverse landscape of mountains, rocky outcrops covered in creeping vines, waterfalls, spooky vine-draped caves, rivers, small natural pools, ruins of ancient civilisations reclaimed by the jungle.

The Sims 4 no doubt has a very vibrant art style, lots of bright colours, and that doesn't always work in every world, but I can already imagine the vibrant greens and blues of the jungle and all the gorgeous tropical plants and flowers.

New harvestables like mangoes, pineapples, durian, star fruit, avocado would be so cool, they could finally have a place to find plantains out in the world.

Another cute touch would be some vfx monkeys hopping around in the treetops and tropical birds swooping across the skies, maybe even a leopard chilling out on a branch.

    Thursday's LS will be fun to watch. I'm very excited to see the jungle in game. I want to explore the little village too. I wonder who that is a statue of and why was it erected.


    Since the design of the village looks to be a former Spanish mission, than it could possibly be Catholic? But *gasp* that would be a Christian statue! They would never dare tread foot there...right..?

    If you pay close attention, it seems we are getting yet another pee bush. On the lower right corner.


    Might not be a pee bush, the bush of the same style in C&D is only for pets, so maybe it plays a different role. I’d think they’d keep the pee bush gameplay exclusive to GT, but could be wrong!


    I'd actually prefer that. I actually thought the bush on the C&D EP was for sims too, thankfully I was wrong. But it does look like one so idk.


    In a tweet a guru said that you an bring your pets along so it's possible it might be a pet bush that would give them something pet specific to explore. I honestly would rather them reuse the pee bush then have to stick a bathroom somewhere where it doesn't make sense or have to let my sim wet themselves/be embarrassed/possibly mortified.


    True but we can always edit this world and place the woohoo/pee bushes from Get Together in the lots in this new world.


    Sure but not everyone has Get Together though.


    Don't worry, I'm 99.9% sure they added the pee bush since a toilet house wouldn't make sense in a jungle. :)
    You might only be able to sleep and pee in it tho, the main attraction of this object, the WooHoo in the bush, will probably stay exclusive to Get Together (I'd be happy to be wrong tho)

    you actually didn't have to do that, @icmnfrsh , but it's good you did. bowls, litter boxes, and a few toys are some of the options that were added as buyable at the ranger station in granite falls, just in case you forgot to bring them along with your pet(s). which i thought was a nice touch. fully expect something similar in this pack, if there's anything even remotely similar to the ranger station


    Oh wow I really didn't know that.

    @catloverplayer i only found it out in passing when sent a sim camping to work on the ambition. was surprised (and happy) to see the pet stuff added to the ranger station. pet beds were in it, too, but i forgot to mention that in the above post. all the basic needs taken care of that way, which was quite nice


    They forgot to mention this in the patch notes to whatever patch added it.
