There's an abandoned house in the woods. Love the look of the lake. I also saw in the trailer what looked like rabbit hole restaurant/diner. Wonder if there will be lots of such rabbit holes in this world.

I was wondering if they added Greg there
well, not greg but some type of npc to make it worth visit like ghost or something

In the trailer Molly puts her hand on her chest like she's scared of something but who knows if there's more to this shack than just looks.

For me, this world has a USA east coast feel to it (especially with the carnival pier). I'm thinking somewhere along the coast of the New England states (Connecticut, Massachusetts, etc) along the Adirondacks. Either that or maybe it's further south like Maryland or Virginia along the Appalachians?

Anyways, it looks beautiful. Especially that one lot in SimGuruAsh's tweet above... wow!

Now that you mention Virginia it does have that Mid-Atlantic feel. I was looking at it earlier and getting sort of Nova Scotia vibes, maybe. My memories of pictures and videos of that part of the world may be a bit hazy too.

Except I don't think Canada has any kind of permanently setup open-air carnival piers on either of its coastlines (although I'm not 100% sure on that)? The seasonal weather seems far too drastic in the North Atlantic (-30 celsius temps in the winter, heavy snowfall, and crazy Nor'Easter blizzards/windstorms).

Yeah... I'm a bit of a geography nerd. :D

You are right, they probably don't and I was thinking of the Canadian Maritimes earlier, before you mentioned Virginia. That helped me zero in on what I couldn't quite figure out. It reminded of a region but I couldn't for the life of me think of where.

ETA: It was your reference to the Appalachians that really sealed it for me.

I hope we can hang out on the bleachers


I love mountain/forest worlds! Remind me of my two favourite places: Canada and Scotland. So glad we’re getting more worlds like this lately :heart:

I’m actually getting major Stars Hollow vibes from this world - I can’t wait to see it in autumn!

I was sort of expecting a desert world too and I still think we might get one in the future because there's a poster in the trailer with a similar cacti and sun design.

I was hoping for one in this pack just because of the kit teaser, but at the same time I was having a hard time putting this pack and that world together. This didn't feel like the theme for introducing that kind of world.

I could go on but I don't want to derail this topic. There will be a thread eventually for the kits, which, unpopular opinion time, I'm excited for.

To get back on topic, the picture you posted fits into what @DaWaterRat and @AncientMuse were talking about and Copperdale having an Appalachian feel. That picture of the cabin and those pine trees remind me of the western parts of North Carolina and Virginia and they would still have four seasons in those areas too.

Yeah, really love this world. I agree with others above. It is mixing with some worlds that we have in the game.

Since the content creators created 7 lots, there is always a few empty lots, and the high school looks clearly like an EA build I'm guessing there is about 10 or 11 lots spread across 2 neighbourhoods (3 if the school is in its own).

As such, a like that it mixed well with other American temperate worlds, it can fit with the NOLA worlds (Willow Creek, Magnolia Promenade, Newcrest), the PNW worlds (Evergreen Harbor, Glimmerbrook and Moonwood Mills), it could even fit with Brindleton Bay. Overall, it expands the number of lots in these worlds without creating a jarring alien cluster of a few lots that don't mesh with the other worlds like Tartosa and My Komerobi do. I like my community lots being in the "local area" of where my Sims live.
