The Copperdale World Discussion Thread

@crocobaura Usually the cafeteria worker comes in at the same time as my Sim go to eat.

I think the small lots are practical.
Any family who live in Copperdale won't have time to garden or keep chickens or cows.

Players will mostly be concentrating on the teens in the family. All they need is a bedroom, and various places around town to hangout with friends.
The parents better be pretty self sufficient, all they will be doing is paying the bills and earning the money. Much like real life really.

You can always turn the rental into residential if you want a bigger lot {or the park maybe}.

If I can mod my school into another world then I will build an military base outside the football field. There would be a small military base in the little town out in the woods. Place one or two household of military sims stationed there as npc's for town.

I think they said they were going for a bit of a Stephen king vibe with Copperdale, even though it doesn't look particularly New-England-ish. (Most of King's stuff is set in New England - specifically Maine.)

So for me, pairing it with Brindleton Bay works just fine.

I was super shocked at how small the lots are.??? I'm definitely the big lot type but every world doesn't have to be the same. Maybe they were going with more of a small town vibe.
Only problem is that I almost always play with 8 sim households and I was planning on moving almost all of my main sims there. Well, I still am but I guess I have to rethink some things ?
Not sure how to fit big families into these tiny tiny lots but I guess I'll take on the challenge. I love this world too much. This one and moonwood mills are going to be my only played worlds for a long while.
I'm going to use a few other worlds only for vacation or big venues like malls and theaters.

I'm definitely stealing the park!! And I can't believe how the lake is around the pier! That's so beautiful. My mermaid is going to love it.

Yeah, it's funny, I too like to have a couple of 20x15 lots sprinkled around here and there. But it's like they heard us all giving that feedback, and said, ok, cool, here's an entire world filled with small lots.

I can't speak for anyone else, but what I really want in most cases is a world filled with a mixture of sizes: mostly 20x30 or 30x40, with a few 20x15 or 20x20, a couple of 40x40 (I actually really miss the square lots in general, I find them more harmonious somehow), and only one or two really large lots. And I want them in places that make sense.

I guess I’m in the minority that loves small lots and wished for more of them lol. ? I’m loving this new world haha.

There's nothing really wrong with 20x15 and 20x20 lots, I'd much rather have them then the maxi lots. It did strike me as odd that they went so heavy on those sizes since it's a first if memory serves. I prefer 20x30 and 30x30 for households of 3 or more, and I usually reserve the small lots for newlyweds without kids or pets and singles. It's my preference at the moment, we'll see in a month or two from now how I feel about it. Moonwood Mill completely changed my mind on small worlds, no reason Copperdale can't do the same with small lots. I'm game for learning how to build for households of 3 or 4 on a 20x15. Mostly it's an issue I created for myself, I never tried to build multistory small lots. I always kept them as single story homes.

I usually play on 30x30 and below, very rarely do I play on a 40x20 or 40x30 lot. Even when I use bigger families they fit just fine on a 30x20 lot.

I don’t know how many families you’re moving by there’s a 50 x40 lot, 2 30x30 lots, and a 30x20 lot you could move them to. ?

I like how Copperdale World looks & I don't mind that there's more tiny size lots. It's way better than a tiny world as far as I'm concerned. Plus, I noticed lately that I've been moving some of my newer sims in tiny lots more often than the regular medium lots. I'm sortof tired of build big buildings.

Several of the lots are too small for my taste. A 20x15 feels small for a family home, and the ones in Prescott Square have very little room for outdoor furniture or activities.

They made a point of allowing you to take multiple teens to school. Sticking a family with multiple teenagers on a 20x15 feels cramped.

Since an official world builder is likely never coming, I wish they would at least give us an in-game tool to place our own lots!
