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?

I will play some of the premade families there. I think it's nice to change settings sometimes when playing various families.

I treated it the same way I treat every other world; demolished all of the lots and replaced them with new ones to fit my liking. I actually really like Oasis Springs.

I added a pool lot. Got rid of the museum and replaced it with a retirement home. Made over all the houses to Mid-Century modern style, and then moved in all the townies I had spent time making over so the game won’t purge them. I don’t play any of the families there, it’s basically just storage for pre-mades I don’t want to have to give makeovers repeatedly.

I hate the desert, so this world is pretty bleh for me.

I love Oasis Springs... I treat it like a Party Town and fill it with my single young adult sims. I also a bowling alley, restaurant, and dance club. I like to make it the opposite of Willow Creek; which make more a family-oriented town with an added playground to the park, more kid friendly library, and a family themed restaurant. :)

It's a refugee zone for Strangerville and all my bunkered houses are there plus all my caravan lots for hard up Sims. The Laandgraabs have a huge bunker as they can afford it.

Actually I turned it into my commercial zone (so I put all my shops, bars, hotels, pools, ect) since getting strangeville which I converted to pure residential besides its special features. It worked out very well and I just think of it as part of the same "world" but downtown. So I'm happy for it (oasis) now!

Nothing. I don't like Oasis Springs so I don't do anything with it.

Oasis Springs is one of my favorite worlds. I think it's beautiful. My simself and hubby lives there. Mostly because it reminds me of our home in Az.

Here are some pics. A few builds are from the gallery.

The 4 waterfront lots. Museum, cafe, garden/park place, and restaurant.

Seasons has given me a newfound appreciation for Oasis Springs. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood for snow, so I'll play in OS. Othertimes, when we do live in snow worlds, we just take a day to visit some of the lots I've put in OS to get away from the crummy weather in other worlds. Before Seasons, I wasn't too found of OS, now I kind of like it.

I wonder if you could build a little overhang to protect the tv's on your movie theater lot @BlkBarbiegal .... that looks wonderful. Not sure if it would work I'm not a builder but would be a shame to have it all indoors.
All the areas look great.
