Since I first started playing TS4, I've always avoided Oasis Springs. I think this is mainly because there's only a few premade families that live there, and I a lot of the houses there look the same. I feel like it's a little bit plainer than the other worlds (apart from Newcrest and MP obviously!)I want to move in some families and built there more often, so I need inspiration. How did you alter Oasis Springs in terms of buildings and families, and did you give it some sort of purpose or story?

Nothing. Oasis Springs is one of my least favorite worlds and I never touch it. I think the first time I ever had a family visit was for a 4th of July holiday since it's always so hot and Windenburg wasn't hot enough for my tastes for that day. So basically nowadays I only use it for that one holiday with public pool or park lots that I download.I have downloaded other saves where they've revamped the world, but I myself haven't done much at all with it.

Hi, I like Oasis springs as it is always hot in there and especially in seasons when it is very cold or raining with lightning, it is a great escape. I have build the spa and bowling place in there. A lot of my sims go out in there. In terms of the story, I class it as rich Sims town, so I have richer sims move in in there and build nice houses with big swimming pools.

I filled the empty lots with the Maxis bowling alley and a pool, but apart from that nothing. I'm not really a fan of desert worlds.

Oasis Springs is my favorite world. If I'm playing sims in other worlds, they usually end up visiting for outdoor activities because of weather. I have Jenba's save file. I really like what she did with the different worlds including Oasis Springs. Anything else is kind of boring compared to hers. Jenba's Oasis Springs is so much better.

I'm planning to move some of my future celebrities there, plus I do like to put elders there since the weather is a bit easier on achy joints (no blizzards to cope with). I've got sort of a Tuscan-style vibe in the wealthier areas, I still want to try and build a high-class spa as well. I usually move some of my elders out there because the weather is better on achy joints (no blizzards to cope with); I've now got StrangerVille as an option as well for that. The other two residential districts I haven't done much with -- they're more middle to working class areas, mostly going with MidCentury Modern since we've got the objects in GF. Downtown I have a burger joint, a fancy gym and a nightclub; currently have a museum but I might change it to retail of some sort; I want a shop that sells Selvadoradan supplies but I also have a long-term project for a store that sells some of the career outfits once I have them unlocked, also a costume shop with the acting career outfits.

What did you do with Oasis Springs?

Yeah, that's pretty much how I'm using it at the moment.

That sounds pretty cool actually! I always seen it as a a "richer" neighbourhood cause the Landgraabs live there, so I might build more mansions like their one.

I’ve redone or rebuilt on pretty much every lot there, it looks far from what the original map looks like. All sims from all walks of life live in Oasis Springs, I like to keep it diverse.

I have many, many save games so I've done different things.
In one save I made Johnny Zest's area a trailer park. In another save I gave them matching type adobe houses. In one save prior to Strangerville I had all my Strangetown sims living in it in a few of the hoods. Usually though I just left it as is and started out scientists and techy types living there.
In my latest save.. since I have Strangerville... I'm putting in more themed business areas that work with desert settings, like restaurants ect. I'm starting to feel like it's an extended area that I can work with.
