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 love the gallery too, playing the sims would just not be the same without downloading the wonderful lots I have found there. I usually will tweak them a bit. But, I sure wouldn’t enjoy playing the sims as much without all the great builders out there.

As much as I think Oasis Springs is a beautiful world I do prefer green lush to the desert personally. So my Oasis Springs - I demolished all the houses and use it as a safe haven for all the townie Sims I am preventing from aging cause I like their look or whatever.

It's also where I keep the "Lab" Household because my Science Career Lab will not spawn any Co-Workers lol (I am aware its a bug thanks! ^_^)

I never used to use Oasis Springs until recently when I started playing the Caliente family. Now, I’ve totally renovated the town and am in love with it!

I transformed Rattlesnake Juice into a classy brunch place known for their famous Voodoo Donut, and took out the (in my opinion) ugly gym next door and added in a lovely Mexican restaurant that has a bar/night club upstairs called the Dancing Cactus Cantina. I left the Solar Flare in place as a lounge but have given it an updated look, and next door to that I demolished the museum and put in a really nice coffee shop with live entertainment called the Hi Desert Brew.

In the empty lot that used to be Arid Ridge, I’ve added in a fancy community pool that is reminiscent of a tropical resort. I wanted this section to feel kind of like a high end neighborhood where you would have HOA fees and a country club. In the empty lot by the Roomies home, I added in a cute yoga studio/small gym. And in the empty lot across from Johnny Zest’s place I built a 3 bedroom trailer for a family-friendly limited income home. Lastly, I’ve turned the Yuma Heights home into a very fancy spa. I might eventually add in a cute boutique.

I love it, I almost always start a single sim on Nookstone.
As to the rest, the Nookstone neighborhood is untouched, I leave Pebble Burrow empty for my add townies spot.
I added a mid-century modern house to Dusty Turf that blends nicely with the others in that neighborhood.
The Langraab house I demolished and replaced with a sprawling medditeran/spanish type home that looks like a real mansion 7br 6ba. And I have 3 or 4 builds that are in the same style that I can use on Arid Ridge, to match the other homes there.

I can't/won't build, so I found everything in my game either on the gallery or from web sites.

It is my least favourite world, I never visit there. I prefer more Selvadorada & Sulani tropical type worlds

In my game I replaced almost every lots into rich mansions. Those modern houses look pretty much like Landgraabs' one, quite match well with Oasis Spring's scenery. White building looks good in there :D (at least for me it is)

Honestly, I completely transformed it into a mostly commercial area... I turned the area where Johnny Zest lives into a trailer park. The area below it has been turned into a suburban area with modern one story houses. The two mansions have been replaced with a pool venue and a generic lot that I called "Paradise Bungalows"... when my Sims travel there, I treat it like a "vacation" and that's where they stay. In the other housing area, I put more public venues. I also completely transformed the actual commercial area and replaced it with my own lots.

In case there's any confusion, the map I'm using is a mod I recently found that makes the maps appear more detailed.

It’s my favourite world. I’ve got it set up mostly with mid-century homes and 50’s/60’s themed community lots.
