What did you do with Oasis Springs?

When simming before morning coffee you sometimes get your neighborhoods mixed up. My post just above is living proof.

My Oasis Springs is a desert town, not a mountain town. I turned it into a military school. McEuen Military Institute to be exact. Every lot is a different building. I have barracks, a PX, chapel, educational buildings, and even a museum. There are a few alien families mixed into the mix as no military school in the middle of the desert could be complete without them.

Not much. I converted the Rattlesnake to a restaurant, I put the Oasis Springs Dust Bowl on Dusty Turf, and dropped Enchanted Springs on Arid Ridge. When my sims live their they almost always start on the empty lot at Pebble Burrow.

I placed my Strangetown sims between there and Strangerville, my Monty family is also there (Antonio and Patrizios fams are neighbours in the upper class Spanish area) and Biancas in a starter Spanish home opposite where Johnny zest lived. World wise I renovated most lots interior but kept the exterior style, moved Yuma Heights to the empty Spanish uptown lot so I have one Set of fancy Spanish homes and 1 hood for 2 modern mansions.
Overall it's a mix of modern and Spanish looking homes with a Mexican restaurant, science centre, lounge and spa in the community strip. The park was renovated to be a pool park.

Oasis Springs is my favorite world! I got rid of most of the homes and businesses and placed new lots from the gallery. The homes that I placed are mostly Mediterranean or modern style homes.

In the Skyward Palms neighborhood, I moved the Caliente household to Granada Place. Families that I created moved into the other two homes in that neighborhood. On the empty lot, I placed a community pool that has a jungle theme. I love it!

All the other households in Oasis Springs were evicted. In the Parched Prospect neighborhood, I placed a spa on the Vista Quarry lot. On the 20x15 lot right across from it, I placed an outdoor diner with a small pool. The 30x20 lot next to it has an outdoor restaurant with a skating rink in the middle of it. The other 30x20 lot has a three level Mediterranean style home where my famous athlete and his family live. There’s a two level house on the 40x30 lot.

The Bedrock Strait neighborhood has a three level hotel and four homes from the gallery. My favorite home is a 1bd 1ba open floor plan on the 20x15 lot. It has stairs on the outer wall that lead up to the roof where my sims can grill and have meals. One of my young adult couples lives there. My up and coming musician lives on one of the 30x20 lots in a three level modern home.

On the 40x30 lot in Acquisition Butte, I placed a penthouse from the gallery, but changed it a bit. This is where my musician sim and his singer wife will eventually live. The 50x50 lot has a large Mediterranean style home with a pool that flows from the front of the house to the back.

In the business district, I have an arcade shaped like a pinball machine, a southwestern restaurant, and a multi-level beach themed bar & grill with outdoor seating. I like the Burners & Builders gym, so I left it in place.

I removed Desert Bloom park and placed a large blue, white and gold Moroccan-inspired home for one of my rich households.

I just have to say how much I love the gallery. I’m not a good builder at all. Without all the great gallery creations, my worlds would all have boxy homes with bad landscaping. ?

I usually put my more modern or quirky lots there. I usually like a trailer park somewhere as well. I like to have a lot of quirky, techy geeky sims live there.

I bulldozed the Landgraab house and I'm using the lot to build the Snowbird Retirement Village.

I'm building a retirement village on that lot, too. I also built on in Brindleton Bay on the big 64x64 lot. I'm determined to find some kind of fun with elders...lol.

I left them to live their lives.

The same thing I did with all of my neighbourhoods, I bulldozed every lot and have been slowly rebuilding what I want, in the style I want.

But only recently - I had ignored Oasis Springs for years and only found out how beautiful it can be when I did my save remodel in the last few months.

I have two different saves. One is my regular family save, the other is my single life save. I haven't done much in the family save, other than adding a water park and moving a couple of families there. But in my singles save. I have added beautiful restaurants, nightclubs, bars, high-end condos, and apartments. It reminds me of the nicer areas in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area and I loved living down there for so many years. I also recently added a botanical garden there. It's really built up. I am just about out of room to build/add more lots. I love it though.

I didn't care for Oasis Springs in the beginning but over the years I've really fallen in love with the little desert town. I pretty much made gave it a Mediterranean feel to it with a little Spanish flair. it's the type of world that you can do a lot with since there isn't much of a city in the background.
