Have you ever been to a place and thought 'this is exactly like in the sims game?' Well I have several times. What sims 4 places have you visited this year? Or perhaps in what sims world do you live? It doesn't have to be exactly the same, I don't think that's even possible. It is just a place with enough recognizable elements to remind you of the sims. This year I have been to:Tartosa: I have been to the french town at the mediteranean sea. It has beaches in a bay, a small light house, places to get food right next to the water, the tartosa town hall would fit in nicely in this city. While I was walking there I was reminded of Tartosa instantly.Mt. Komorebi (the mountain, not the world): This year I have seen the Mont Blanc, the highest mountain of western Europe. We took the cable car to one of the highest viewing points you can reach in Europe. We saw the flat, slightly rounded mountain top under a thick layer of snow. Other mountaint tops I have seen were usually more steep or less snow covered but this one came real close to the mountain in Komorebi. We also saw several climbers in climbing gear making their way to the top. Obviously there is no link with Japan, so it was just the mountaint top not the rest of the world.The lighthouse in Brindleton bay: My husband and I visited a lighthouse on an island. The shape was slightly different but when we were alone for a moment at the top I couldn't help but wonder how sims can woohoo in such a public location.

Cute idea! This year I have been to:Brindleton bay: It’s actually where I live, in New England not far from the Boston harbor. It’s actually amazing how close it looks to my current town. Sulani: My husband and I took a long weekend trip to a tropical beach to celebrate 20 years of marriage this year.

I live in sort of mashup of Sable Square fieldscape, Granite Falls, Moonwood Mill and Forgotten Hollowmostly though I have been feeling Moonwood Mill this year going on early morning moonlight walks hearing the wolves howling in the distancewondering if its Greggy poo I hear it often serves as motivation to walk just a little faster

@Kita5399 nice to hear about your holiday. I have never been to a tropical beach but I can imagine it is very beautiful.@Simmingal where is sable square? I never heard of it. The location where I live is also a mashup, in my case a mashup of evergreen harbour, windenburg and newcrest.

I live in a greek beach town that is very similar to Tartosa (mainly the port heighbourhood). Unfortunately I havent been anywhere else this year. Hopefully the next one will be different. I d like to visit Sulani ( a tropical world) at some point.

What a great thread idea!I've been to Sulani /sunlit Tides /twikii Island (sims4, 3, and 2 respectively) and going those places in the game is like revisiting only, less tiring, more idyllic.Ich habe been to and lived near the wild rocky coastline like that of Windenberg in sims4, and the bluffs, and especially when they are covered in ice and snow, that is realistic to my lived experience.I live not far from places like Brindleton Bay and the similarities are there including in one particular expensive coastal town I'm thinking of, a lot of Brants and Brent's. ?Both Bridgeport and San myshuno have elements of big city life I remember fondly, and I have lived both in shabby low-rent apartments with vermin, and in old historic apartments with hardwood floors and intricate moldings that were cozy and atmospheric. Strangerville and Strangetown remind me of some parts of the Southwest in the US, one of which has a fun, funky tradition of embracing self-declared weirdos like Erwin, where life is never boring. I love the bar in strangerville because it reminds me of a few little hole in the wall places to get great homemade salsa and tortillas, cheap beer, strange decor, and interesting conversation, even UFO sighting tales.

This year I have been to [enter sims world/location]

This is fun :)

I live in a place that looks very much like the Brindleton Bay neighborhood with the rolling hills and hayfields in the background (not the beach).

This summer minisprite and I visited my hometown, which looks like San Myshuno in some neighborhoods, Evergreen Harbor in others, and has a Komorebi-like icy mountain watching over it (when it's not fogged in). It's not in Japan, but there is a lot of Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese culture and art and food. Much of my high school graduating class was made up of kids whose parents come from various parts of south and east Asia.

My sweetie and I visited a relative who lives in a place very much like Granite Falls. The woods were very beautiful. The insect population was very well represented.

Going to a place like granite falls seems very nice. I have never been camping at such a remote location.

I know the name of the world's but not of every neighbourhood, that's why I did not recognise it. Looks like a nice place, though I have only ever had one family live there.

Glad someone mentioned Granite Falls because I forgot that one. Where I live now, the wooded areas and campsites and national parks are very much like Granite Falls: tall pines and mixed deciduous hardwoods, Granite boulders, lakes, lots of bugs and wildlife, great fishing, and your choice of wild and untamed, or groomed maintained trails and cute cabins.
