The Copperdale World Discussion Thread

I want to make a teen oriented nightclub or bar on that open lot (or maybe in place of the starter over by the pier) There was an under 21 club that was really popular when I was a kid that I'd like to kinda recreate.

And then with that as my community lot in the area, I can replace the park with something else. :)

I will make the rental lot another residential.

I wish the school wasn't a 64x64. That's a huge space to fill up and I hate building huge lots. Hopefully I can download a really nice one.

I think I might change the park to a cinema or bowling place.

I’m currently working on a school and I have a good idea of what I want in it, but it’s still a little stressful haha. So much space and I want it to make sense with the football field in the back. I also have a mod to add more people on a lot, but in case it doesn’t work, I know modders are working on more teens spawning for school so I want to accommodate for that.

Actually saw the 20x15 build in James's video and my first thought when thinking about to do with that lot was...bar. -laughs-

But I did check around the business in that nearby town for inspiration...which was furniture stores, a sandwhich shop, law offices and a restaurant.

Really, most of the bars are tied in with restaurants. There was only like one dedicated bar.

Might just wait and see what the gallery brings, to be honest. Nicer home or an interesting venue. Either or.

I'm surprised none of the game changers built an art deco style residential lot... or made use of the curved walls. :/ Maybe curved walls weren't available at the time of building.


I have no problem building my own art deco inspired lot. Should be fun and once the patch hits, I can work on the shell.

Gorgeous shells lead to great disappointment, non-apartment, non-interactive...
Lot distribution fails, and damages the living experience.
In the map description, residents are seeking small-town life. However, you can own only one small lot for your family, and the premade may be a prohibition to play to avoid assigned NPC job dropping.
We get more lots in the carnival region, which are off the grid like the Granite Falls. There's not even a paved road in front of your house. And the community atmosphere is almost ZERO. The amusement park surrounded by suburban houses makes me confused as well.
5V5 lot distribution is a disaster, it runs oppositely rebelling against the original intention of the map concept.

I love small lots. I’m always happy when one or two was included in the world. But this world might have too many small lots. The library lot is really too small.

I know everybody always complains about the food carts. But the shell that has tables outside should have definitely had a food cart inside, like in Tartosa.

I wish that the couch that is by that abandoned bridge maybe had a fire pit or a stereo. Some sort of activity for our teens to do.

They definitely dropped the ball by not having a lot by the pier area. The other lots just feel too far from it to be the drop in point.

I thought the library looked terribly small, but I think it's the design that's making it look small with the too large staircase. But the world looks very pretty, love the picnic area by the water and all the different paths through the woods. Think we might be getting cars soon because of all the parking spaces and gas station in the neighbourhood.

Was the school built by a GameChanger?

I think the problem with the library is that it's too tall for the lot it's on so it looks compressed and awkward, especially as it is in the middle of an open area, like a skinny skyscraper in a cornfield. Since the creator wanted a skylight that is taller than the roof, a foundation and two storey windows, the whole thing is about 3.5 stories tall.

I think I would be able to tolerate the small lots more if the town area was actually dense, but all the lots are spread out with a lot of room around them. I would have preferred it if the suburban neighbourhood was laid out in a more gridded fashion, with houses and gardens backing on to each other, like the quarry neighbourhood in Eco Lifestyles, but with the more middle class houses of High School Years.

The superficial thing that annoys me though is how specific lots and lot names (such as the ThrifTea store) are mentioned in the neighbourhood descriptions.

The library doesn't stand out from the rest of the buildings with regards to height, but if you look at the lot, one third of it is occupied by the staircase, both inside and outside, so once on the lot you have very little useable space and rooms appear cramped. A re-design will make it look more like a real building and less like a wendy house.
