Willow Creek 100% Overhaul!!!

Hello! I just finished completely recreating the world of Willow Creek. I thought I would celebrate here and share my future plans.

First of all, this is not available as a save file YET. I am wanting to at least finish recreating Newcrest and Oasis Springs before making this available at all, but will more likely wait until I recreate every world entirely.
This recreation is 100% new. It contains none of the original builds OR families. I know getting rid of the families might be unpopular, but I wanted the file I eventually release to be a completely new experience for simmers. This means that I demolished, evicted, and deleted everything you get in the default world. All of these builds are my own with inspiration from other simmers, real life houses, and maxis creations. The families in Willow Creek are diverse, but not as much as in the other worlds I've been working on. This world is very family-oriented.

This world has no CC and contains content from ONLY these packs: Jungle Adventure, Cats and Dogs, City Living, Laundry Day, Vintage Glamour Stuff, Movie Hangout Stuff, Parenthood, Seasons, Get Together, Get To Work, and Spa Day. I buy packs sporadically, since I can't afford them often, and so you will find that even if you don't have all the packs, many of the builds will use only 3 or 4 packs, while newer builds use almost all of them. Obviously, I do not yet have Get Famous, Outdoor Retreat or Vampires, so this means I have not started to work on Del Sol Valley, Granite Falls, or Forgotten Hollow. I will likely have these packs before I finish, but if I do not, I will release the unfinished file and update it later.

Please tell me what you think of my overhaul! If you are interested in seeing a particular build or some of the highlights of the world, please let me know. I'm happy to post pictures, but didn't want to open this discussion too picture-heavy. I have a couple photos I will share later of the park and the main community building street. Also, what do you think of my save file idea? Would you like me to release early incomplete versions and update as I complete each world or would you rather wait for the real deal? Anyhow, I hope you guys enjoy!

  • @Erwyle Some other simmers have created save files for download before. Essentially, downloading a save file is quite literal. The creator exports their own save game to an online location where other simmers can download it. Then, when you open the game, you will have a new save under the "load game" option from main menu where you will find a new save which contains all the progress, sims, and builds from the creator's save game. So, essentially, it is like downloading everything at once rather than placing individual lots from the gallery. I hope this answered your question!
  • @AgentJulia Unfortunately, no. I am working on it, but so far I believe the library, the largest mansion, the Capulet's house, the Montague's house, the empty red house, and the Everett's house are up for download. All of them should come up under #whimreaper. Are there any particular builds you would like to see go up next? I usually start by putting up community favourites and my personal favourites. Thanks for your interest!
  • @whimreaper Your builds are great! I just wanted to steal your little strip of buildings (library, art center etc.) for my game because I like them so much but I totally understand if we have to wait for the save file. ;)
  • @AgentJulia Thanks! I can definitely make the community buildings available on the gallery. I'll go put them up now, in fact. Everything will be under #whimreaper and #willowcreek.
  • @whimreaper WOW this is beautiful. This is a BIG upgrade from the original willow creek. I know you said you were not finished yet but I’m ready to download this ASAP! When you are done are you going to offer all the worlds in one big bundle of each world as an individual download ?
  • Wow! This is so awesome! I really like the art center and how you make the commercial street look like everything fits together. The buildings I mean and the families sound so interesting and fun.
  • @Vines12 I was thinking I would wait until I've finished doing all the worlds before I put up a save file for download, but most of the lots from my Willow Creek overhaul are on the gallery, so you can at least use those for now. The reason I don't want to put up a save file before I'm done is that the other worlds are not complete, and I prefer people to judge the other worlds by the finished product rather than the half-empty towns they currently are. Thank you for your compliments! I'll post on this thread a link to another once I finish another world, so if you favourite it, you can check back to see my progress. Thanks again! Happy Valentine's Day!
  • @whimreaper yes please let us know when you are complete! Happy Valentines Day!
  • @whimreaper Love the idea of completely making over the worlds! Looks like you put a lot of work into this. Wow!
  • @CaprianaB Thank you! I actually just finished all of the Base Game worlds entirely and am making a video today explaining how you can download version 1 of the save file (version 1 is intended for players with base game or who just want to check out my process)! Check out my YouTube channel for information if you like <3 The video and link should be up today or tomorrow
