I think my issue with the world it looks too much like San Sequea and look much like a town.

Same, only one neighborhood feeling like real city would of been awesome, I don't need full city world.

If the animal sanctuary is a rabbithole I hope we can place it in other worlds.

If this is supposed to be Thailand, where are the elephants? I thought Southeast Asia was famous for its elephants. Plus I thought tigers were more in India than Thailand. I wouldn't mind a rabbithole zoo, as long as we get updates as to what they are doing and seeing...like Batuu's quests.

This world is absolutely gorgeous!

The world looks beautiful so far to me. I really would like a new multi-sim boat to use tho :/ As for the sanctuary- even though i’m holding out some hope that a part of it isn’t a rabbit hole— i’m sure it all is lol. But it’d be awesome to add a new rabbithole career as an animal caretaker.

it's interesting to integrate a typical Thai city. I don't know if the Western players will stay on it that much, but if it helps them to discover the local architecture, that's great.

Recently the rental units info totally overshadowed the new world! I almost forgot that we're getting a new playground with a new culture. In my game this will be part of the same empire that Mt. Komorebi, and I'm currious to see if anything can be used by both those packs or if their cultures come off as very diverse. I guess it's totally up to each simmer... hopefully the sanctuary will give us some features that can be used in other worlds, too.

Can't wait to see the world map including lots for Tomarang!

This EP will be a true game changer indeed! I bet it will be a big seller for Maxis/EA too! I cannot wait to see the world of Tomarang either! I hope there are at least 11-12 lots but we will see once the livestream is coming :smile:

People can definitely come up with whatever head canon they like. But for point of comparison, in real life Japan is roughly the same distance from Thailand as Scotland is from Greece, or Santa Fe is from Boston. So, fair to say, the cultures are a bit different, except to the extent that that the whole world has become somewhat homogenized in recent decades.

Hopefully we'll see more of Tomarang in Tomorrow's gameplay trailer.

Apparently simguruninja has changed his X page header picture to a snapshot of Tomarang, so I grabbed the pic for us all to stare at with our sooper-sleuth magnifying glasses :D

It seems as if the world is surrounded by water and those look like islands off in the distance? I'm hoping we can jump on one of those long-tail boats and do some island hopping (like Sulani). Of course island hopping means changing neighbourhoods, so there would be a loading screen, but I'm okay with loading screens if it means my sim can go on adventures by boat. *fingers crossed*

And it looks like maybe we can walk from the city neighbourhood, across the bridge, and over to the jungle-y looking place where the botanical gardens might be?
