This is the place to discuss The Copperdale World coming with the High School EP.https://twitter.com/SimGuruAsh/status/1542540105486942209?t=80imBSVw5cnLC3Rh2wAYBg&s=19https://twitter.com/fantayziayt/status/1542593165642932224?t=OzdaqRW6HrXy1qAdJlWS6w&s=19

I am really excited that the theme park is making a comeback - one of my favourite things to do in TS3 was take my Sim families to the theme park in the Roaring Heights world from TS3 store. I wish we were getting roller coasters again, but I feel like a Ferris Wheel is a nice alternative. Glad the photo booth is returning, too!I hope kids and adults alike, not just teens, can also use the theme park, so that families can have some place new to have a day out together.I hope we can put the high school building, which EA is advertising as "fully customisable" in any world, because it would be unrealistic for say, Sims from Strangerville to go to school with kids from Mt. Komorebi. But I hope it functions like a secret lot / world like the Magic Realm or the GTW hospital, because worlds are so small as it is, and I really don't want a high school taking up such precious, limited space.Even though I hated High School IRL, overall, I'm actually very excited about this pack! It looks like it adds a lot of new and interesting gameplay. I don't have Werewolves, yet, but it seems like after the debacle that was MWS, they've learned their lesson, and Werewolves is much better, and hopefully, High School Years will be, too.

Yay, a world thread. My favorite topic when new packs come out. The carnival pier is what sold me on thus pack. I can't wait to see more.

Have we gotten any confirmation on what part of the country Copperdale is inspired by? I break my worlds into "regions," and sims can only travel regionally without vacationing (for example: Evergreen Harbor, Glimmerbrook and Moonwood Mills are one region). Just mulling over which region to place it in.

I was delighted when I saw the pier! Don't get me wrong, I love the aesthetic of the world in general, but the pier... my face actually lit up when it came on the screen in the trailer! I'm super happy the sims team included a carnival-type experience with this pack. It's icing on the cake for me!

I’m very excited for the new world! It looks like what I was expecting in the werewolf world: woodland lots by a river (except that I was disappointed by the wolf world that we could see abandoned factories from all lots, ruined my nature vibes). I like the look of the pier, and I’m hoping we get some sort of suburban, close together (as in, sharing a borderline) lots. Is this our third used-to-be-a-mining-town world? Can we not just have a nice suburban town built on the edge of a forest? I’m sick of run-down mills and abandoned junk left around my towns, it’s too themed.

I hope there is more substance to this Neighborhood than fluff that I can't even access. Okay to say because WW only had 5 lots because it was a GP, but now we have an EP coming and hope it is not 6 but many more, man, I miss that map editor. :(

Okay. But, lapis lazuli is a real gemstone, though. The guy in my avatar is the proprietor of a mystic tavern called The Blue Moon. He is named Oberon Lazuli. Oberon, after A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Lazuli because of the gem’s intense blue color. Cool they named a lake after him, though. ?

It's a functional rabbithole (confirmed woohoo location according to a guru, I believe).

I would assume sims can also ride it. Surely EA wouldn't make the ferris wheel just a woohoo location.

Rabbit hole ride I guess. Hopefully we will get sim amusement parks some day where we can watch our sims ride them,

If we could only get a carousel. That wouldn't be a rabbithole.

That's why we don't have one.?

Yes cause sometimes EA takes the short cut.

Yes, they would if it fits their narrative as history of what EA/Maxis offers and how it is offered speaks for itself and it goes back to CL looking at the shortcuts taken as well as in other packs.

I see a pattern with The Sims 4 worlds, in terms of geographic look. I think a lot of the worlds you mentioned, Copperdale included look very much like the Pacific Western (PNW), United States. Since EA headquarters is in Redwood City, California, United States; I imagine they go based off surrounding areas & Northern California. But a lot of the worlds look like they could be more toward Oregon, or Washington. There's even what looks to be a seaside, rocky shore, with pine trees.
