Coastal Roads - My New Sims 3 World!
The second beta is out. I announced the first one over on my Tumblr. I also made a separate post talking about the pride flag crosswalks I created for the world. This screenshot is of the first version of the world, but for the most part, its very similar to how it looks now. It is missing the lots that CJplays will create, that assuming nothing goes wrong will be included in the final version of the map The map requires every single expansion pack and stuff pack with the exception of Katy Perry Sweet Treats as that is is the only pack I do not own. In addition it uses the following free store objects No Tricks, Just Treats More Halloween Treats More Holiday Presents Weba Yayfoo Modern HDTV by Webbsta Industries Honeycomb Bookshelf ( I'm having trouble finding this one in the store for some reason. Hope its still available ) Let there be Sims! You can download the second version along with the first official saved game file for the world. When the final version is released, the map and the saved game file will be a separate download, but for now you will have to download them together. Please make sure you playtest the map using the saved game file. The current version of Coastal Roads will have to be installed for it to work. Make sure you delete the previous version if you had it installed on your computer I am also creating some extra lots that you will be able to download separately when the final version of the map is released, that use some premium store content. Now that that's over with, here are some additional, more up to date screenshots of what the world currently looks like. Most of the sims in the pictures below are ones that I created, but a few of them are NPC townies. You will need to load the saved game file, in order to encounter them. There will not be any graveyard ghosts in the saved game file, until the final version of the map. So what do you guys think so far? Please let me know if there is anything you like or dislike about the world and if there is anything that could be improved upon. Also, please let me know what you think of my simsOrient Express world collab - NEW! Alpine video & Full YouTube playlist!

~*~ Ackney-upon-Sherne Showcase - Our English Village Creators' Collaboration ~*~
We're really excited to begin sharing with you our project to build an English country village. It started with simply an interest in creating some pretty ivy covered cottages and grew into something a bit more involved. Our village is imaginary but is largely inspired by the Cotswolds and its pretty honey gold stone. Ackney-upon-Sherne exists in current times but has rich historical roots. Its origins date back to the Saxons, who settled on the central island, and includes a Norman castle ruin on the nearby hilltop. The name for the village originates from the Saxon language and means basically oak island on the shining river. Ack = oak and Sherne (what we decided to name the river) = shining. We have a little side area that's a bit different, too - more on that below in this first post where we talk about map areas. https://i.imgur.com/D5QWKse.jpg?6 The World We wanted to find an already existing world that would fit an English landscape and in looking about realized that Riverview would do quite nicely for our project with a little tweaking. That "little tweaking" became a lot more involved and complicated than we anticipated, and we are very grateful to @Hidehi for hanging in there to make it come about. Thank you, Hidehi! The empty world by Hidehi is available for download here: On MediaFire: https://www.mediafire.com/file/x95a05ctl18wsxh/Ackney-upon-Sherne.Sims3Pack/file On the Exchange: https://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9478955 - More about it on the forum here (The world does use some things - like trees, streetlights - from various expansions.) Our Builds We'll all be uploading our completed lots separately to our studios for you to download, with a post about them here. Once everything is complete, the plan is to also offer a save file with the lots in place (plus a few households) that can be used in conjunction with the empty world. Content used: Almost everything! Since this is a creators' collab, we wanted to make it as flexible and fun as possible for our builders to create the impressions they sought to make (within the theme, of course). There is NO CC used, but all expansions, stuff packs (including Sweet Treats) and store content were allowed, except for the following: No expansion preorder sets, no Katy Perry content from Showtime, and no promotional items (e.g., Dr. Pepper, T-Mobile). The primary reason for the exclusions are that the person who will upload the eventual save file (suzses) does not own them and cannot obtain them at this point. Map Areas We've divided the world up into 10 maps, basically what would fit into a screenshot. Each map appears below in one of the following posts and will include under it a listing of our builds. Map 5 is the central island, where the village first began, and the area where we will begin our uploads this week. Maps 1-8 are all parts of the Cotswolds village - some older areas, some newer. Maps 9 and 10 are a little different and based on the Lake District with a little Beatrix Potter thrown in. While the Cotswolds and Lake District aren't right next door to each other in the real world, they are here in Ackney-upon-Sherne. ;) If you think you would like to contribute something to our project, please contact suzses privately by PM here on the forum, and we'll let you know what we have planned. We will only be discussing our completed builds here in the showcase thread. Please do feel free to chat with us and ask questions about our builds. :)Disney Magic Kingdom Community Collaboration! * COMPLETED

"Sandraelle;c-18263370" wrote: https://i.imgur.com/hvzuyE9.jpg Hello everyone! We figure that most people will probably want to pick and choose what lots they'd like to add to their Magic Kingdom World, but if you'd like a world with all the lots, I have created a world save with all the lots for you. It's missing two lots (see my note below). Depending on your computer specs, you may experience game crashes with a fully outfitted world. But if you have a powerful computer (I do not, lol), our hope is that it will run smoothly. Another option to minimize the size, is to split up the world into two world saves by having two copies and editing each world to your liking. Or if you have a mod, you may be able to make them vacation worlds, however, I'm not sure exactly how to do that. :# Just click on this zip file link to download the folder and place it in your "Electronic Arts/Sims 3/Saves" folder before launching your game. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: If you don't already have the empty base Disney Magic Kingdom world downloaded and installed on your computer, you will need to do that first before loading up your game with my world save, otherwise it won't load the save. You can find the link to the world on page 1. :) :) :) Happy simming!!!! Note: Since I don't own Midnight Hollow's Golden Ticket Toy Shop, I wasn't able to place two of the lots. Here are the links for those two builds so you can add them in yourself.

Experience the magic of Disney as we invite you to collaborate in showcasing the talent within the Sims 3 community! Our launch on Oct 1/21 coincided with the official start of the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebrations. This project began several months ago when sparky1922 expressed her hope to me soocoolsim of having a playable Disney world. This idea grew as the talented @Hidehi worked with my input and the official Disney map to create the Magic Kingdom world base. I think you'll agree that Hidehi did an awesome job, and we're hoping for your feedback as lots are added to ensure that world routing, etc works as intended. With the addition of Sandraelle and romagi1 to the planning team, this community collaboration to create the Magic Kingdom is now open for your participation! Apr 3/23 - EDIT! All lots have been claimed or accounted for so the rest of this post is no longer valid. Thanks to everyone who participated. Your submissions have brought this world ‘to life’. Thanks also to our supporters for your comments, likes and downloads. We have had a blast and hope you enjoyed being with us on this journey. Stay tuned for the grand finale to celebrate completion of this amazing project! So now onto the fine print! Here's a chance to express your creativity with choices from a wide range of building styles. The rules are pretty simple: CLAIMING GUIDELINES Take a look at the list of lots available using either the forum posts or online spreadsheet as reference. Indicate you're on board for the collab and sign up for your first claim by posting on this thread with your chosen lot and map reference #s. I will update the list with your claim (as well as the download / media links when completed). Every two weeks (approx the 1st and 15th of the month) a new sign-up period will begin. You may claim a new lot during each sign-up period after your build is completed - as long as you don't have more than two builds underway at a time. BUILDING GUIDELINES Map areas: The following posts list the world lots along with reference maps and a short description about each area. You can also view everything consolidated in the spreadsheet linked below. Thanks to Sandraelle for creating the reference maps. Optional! View the on-line Sims 3 Magic Kingdom spreadsheet (Lots on tab 1. Maps on tab 2): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cqRP4cJ8gBpwAkDmSD5UQ36V2atAw5QCFsSyOK4wxPI/edit#gid=1788133881 Community lots / Disney attractions: The intent is to replicate the exterior of the actual attractions as best as you can. The interior design is more flexible as you see fit for the use of the lot and Sims 3 game play. Please do stay with the overall theme of the area for the decor and include any special lot designation requirements. You can Google pictures of your claimed lot and we've also included some inspiration links below which may be helpful. Residential builds: Again, please stay with the general look and overall theme of the area including your chosen lot. You have creative freedom otherwise. No third-party Custom Content allowed — please Custard Check your lots before uploading to double check. Helpful notes All Expansion Packs OK for use. All Stuff Packs OK for use. All purchasable Store Items OK for use. Free Store items can be used if they can still be downloaded. Post link(s) to your lot download / media when available. You can also include a cover shot.

We would greatly appreciate feedback on any positive experiences or concerns you may experience as the world gets populated. At this stage, we do not plan to provide a completed world. It is up to players to download and populate as desired when builds become available. Once the world is full / almost full we may provide a game save file, but first things first... to create the lots 😀 https://i.imgur.com/e0NAxlX.png Feb 9/22 - New opportunity! This is mainly for those folks who love to decorate but find building daunting. See page 14 for available shells. Now it works! Post your claim on this thread (Map #, Ref #) and download the relevant shell. Decorate as you wish using the following guidelines. In the final lot description, we request you keep the credit to the shell creator. Upload your completed build and circle back here with the link(s) to your file and (optional) screenshots. Residential shell décor guidelines No budget limitations! All EPs, SPs, store items allowed. No 3rd party CC allowed. For the exterior... You can change the colours of the siding, roofing and flooring and move/delete/add windows and doors. Create your own landscaping as you wish including adding/modifying driveways, gardens, etc. For the interior... You have free rein to modify everything! Window, door or wall in the way of your fab design? No worries... just move or delete it. Want to switch a bedroom to a study? Go right ahead... the power is with you to change the layout as you see fit. STARTER HOMES Several lots have been designated for building starter homes. Of course, other appropriate lots can be used to create a starter. Check with a planning team member if uncertain. EDIT Oct 9/22 - All designated starter homes completed! Visit this post on page 12 for the list of builds. SPIN-OFFS Players are encouraged to share links to their Disney Magic Kingdom in game stories. Please touch base with soocoolsim via PM with your blog / story link(s) for approval by the planning team. Visit this post to read stories submitted by DMK world players. Visit this post to find links to NO CC Disney character sims available for download. NOTES FOR CREATORS
Cape Albacore - A New TS3 Builder's Collaboration Base World
Welcome to Cape Albacore a world designed for a new TS3 builder's collaboration with a Cape Cod/Nantucket Island/coastal theme hosted by soocoolsim , Sandraelle and me Hidehi. As EIG in CAW is still not working at the moment we have decided to again offer residential and community lots by various creators via the Exchange for simmers to download and add to this world and their games as required. Please check out soocoolsim's thread in the builder's section of the forums for all the details about the collaboration and alerts to any new builds that are ready to be downloaded https://tinyurl.com/CapeAlbacore We are also planning to make a save-game available when all the builds have been completed just like Sandraelle so kindly put together for our Disney Magic Kingdom Collab. We are aware that the numbers of active TS3 simmers are dwindling quite fast but we very much hope that we can attract some interest from builders and/or decorators of all skill levels and we would love for you to join us for a bit of fun Here are some screenshots just to give you an impression of Cape Albacore: World download link: https://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9564729 PS: We thought that 'fishy' names are most suitable and fun for an island/coastal world and therefore decided to name our world 'Cape Albacore' ... by the way just in case you didn't know an Albacore is a species of tuna :D Sandraelle gathered all the awesome names of different types of fish and other sea creatures for our lot addresses. Enjoy exploring for example Blobfish Path, Flounder Way, Seahorse Boulevard or our favourite the Barracuda Highway 🐟🐠🐡 Thank you for your interest, enjoy Cape Albacore, have fun placing lots as they become available and above all 'Happy Simming'!

The Sims Bustin' Out World, Sim Valley (Jan 2024 Update)
UPDATE (15th Jan, 2024): I have been working on this world on and off since 2020. I have made a lot of changes and would like to share some updates. This world will transform Sim Valley, the sims console neighborhood, into a full sims 3 world. The world will be set up how the Bustin' Out map is, as shown below. The time period takes place after the first console game, with Mom divorcing Malcom Landgraab. All sims from Bustin' Out will be available to play, as well as characters from other sims game to further flesh out the world. As shown, each Bustin' Out lot and their surrounding lots are finished. I am hoping to spend much more time on this project for I am no longer in university. I also hope to share more updates as I work on this. Please let me know what you'd like to see or any suggestions. This project is intended to be as 1:1 as The Sims 3 will allow me. So, I am aiming for an early 2000s console game aesthetics rather than realism. This is also intended to be done without relying too much on CC (my own will be included and the only other CC is the bridge used for Pixel Acres) and minimal store content. The store content used will be minimal and not required. Off the top of my head, the only store content I have used are the outdoor showers pictured on Pixel Acres, Basketball courts, the climbing wall, and the cow plant. Currently in progress: Terraform detailing Terrain Painting Placing trees, rocks, etc. ...

Worlds You Can't Live Without
First off, I feel like a thread like this needs to be stickied at the top of this subforum. This is clearly the main Sims forum now, so this needs to be easily accessible. Paging @SimGuruDrake to do so if you feel it's worthy!! This is the thread for posting about worlds that you have found over the years for TS3 that you know love and can't imagine ever not having in your game. They can be your worlds, worlds that you've found in other places online, whatever! Just make sure to note if the world in question also requires CC (if the CC comes packaged with the world, make note of that, too!) To start this off, I'm immediately giving a shoutout to Legacy Island III by @Rflong7. One of my absolute favorite worlds to have ever played in EVER. It's large, but contains content from every single expansion, which is perfect for me. Few, if any, routing issues. No CC necessary, just expansions! Second is Alpine County by @western077 . HUMONGOUS world that utilizes a lot of different content from different expansions. I adore it, but don't play in it very often because of its size. Comes in both populated and unpopulated forms! Says it doesn't require CC or store items, but I feel as if there were a few item replacements for some store items. I could be wrong, though!!Meredith Cove Update 1/12/2022 - A Fix for the Old Church ( Tomb ) is Here!
Update 11/13/2021 and Update 2/6/2022 The City of Meredith Cove is a town nestled in the middle of where an alpine mountain biome and a swamp biome meet. It is home to the famous Tri Coasters Amusement Park and an extremely disturbing mystery as of late. The town is being invaded by mummies and a mysterious cult that worships the most evil entity in the sim universe seems to be involved. What are the Tragic Clown Cult's plans? Explore the town, and solve the mystery, or uncover some unrelated secrets or maybe just sit back and have fun at the amusement park, but whatever you do, watch out for mummies. The world requires, all expansion packs, World of Wonder Carousel Collection, The Boardwalk, the Level up Collection, and these additional free store sets. 1. No Tricks Just Treats 2. The Sims Strike Back 3. In the Dawn of Sims 4. Happy Halloween : Gory Goodies 5. Modern HDTV by Webbsta Industries 6. Eye of the Bolder 10 7. More Holiday Presents 8. Honeycomb Bookshelf 9. Happy Valentines Day 2014 10. Happy Holiday Presents 11. More Halloween Treats 12. Halloween Treats No stuff packs required. No mods are CC were used either. That said, this is not a world for low end computers The Final version of Meredith Cove called Meredith Cove Nightmare is here. It is on Media Fire and the Exchange Meredith Cove Nightmare on the Exchange https://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9499823 And here it is on Media Fire if the exchange is taken down for some reason Meredith Cove Nightmare on Media Fire https://www.mediafire.com/file/nkfya78ih3ez4jq/Meredith_Cove_Nightmare.zip/file Here is the link for the saved game file. It should work no matter where you got the map, so long as it's the version entitled Meredith Cove Nightmare Meredith Cove Story Download https://www.mediafire.com/file/vxg4ulwgy7aaohx/Meredith_Cove_Story_Download.zip/file Finally for those who need help or don't mind things being spoiled for them, here is a cheat sheet for all of the tombs and key stone locations Meredith Cove Tomb and Key Locations https://www.mediafire.com/file/2ouou4cogb5oi7a/Meredith+Cove+Tomb+and+Key+Locations.rtf/file The Following Screenshots are out of date, but for the most part represent what the map currently looks like, but with some minor changes in some instances ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This clown themed sports bar actually plays a small role in the world's lore. It's not directly connected to the Tragic Clown Cult, but it is connected the group's deceased founder https://www.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000/shard000/287/653/019/00/screenshot_original.jpg https://www.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000/shard000/296/653/019/00/screenshot_original.jpg I personally think that giving all of the outdoor lights an orange glow makes things a lot creepier https://www.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000/shard000/294/653/019/00/screenshot_original.jpg This is the John Harris Memorial Gardens, originally I called it "The Clown Gardens," but I changed the name, and put the Arboretum on another lot. I wanted the name to appear on the map for lore reasons, and I didn't want people to confuse the John Harris Statue with the Tragic Clown, or think it was just of some random innocent clown. https://www.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000/shard000/293/653/019/00/screenshot_original.jpg Here's the new lot I created specifically for the Arboretum https://www.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000/shard000/290/653/019/00/screenshot_original.jpg This is what the waterfalls look like at night https://www.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000/shard000/292/653/019/00/screenshot_original.jpg Another creepy abandoned building. There are a lot of these around town. https://www.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000/shard000/289/653/019/00/screenshot_original.jpg A creepy campground, and an even creepier abandoned house https://www.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000/shard000/291/653/019/00/screenshot_original.jpg The Junkyard and another abandoned home https://www.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000/shard000/288/653/019/00/screenshot_original.jpg Oh and finally, what would a spooky mummy infested town, with a malevolent cult without a cemetery? https://www.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000/shard000/295/653/019/00/screenshot_original.jpg Here's a link to my Tumblr if you would like to checkout some previous older images of the world. https://www.tumblr.com/blog/damienf519 Scroll down for more updates
Alryne Valley - ***BETA 1.2 - 8/3/23*** Dive Lots Possible - Read 1st Post
Alryne Valley - Beta 1.2 - released 8/3/23: Updated to add: Dive lots can be added to Alryne Valley! https://texansky.files.wordpress.com/2023/08/diving_in_alryne-valley.jpg I was successful in adding a dive lot. Many thanks to Dandelion Sprout at Mod the Sims for their work on Mermaid's Park dive lots. NOTE: I have no plans to add dive lots to Alryne Valley myself, but it is possible to add one with modifications or build your own. Click the link to download Alryne_Valley_beta_1-2. This zip file contains only the Sims3Pack for the world of Alryne Valley. There is a Jinx - Raven Shadow rabbit hole door inside the lobby for the science facility. If you don't have (or don't want) these rabbit holes installed in your game, you may replace my science facility with the Landgraab Science Facility from Sunset Valley. Don't forget to use buydebug to remove the fishing spawners before bulldozing my lot to prepare for placing the Landgraab lot. If you have already installed a previous version of Alryne Valley in your game, you will need to uninstall it in order to install the updated version. I have included the beta version number in the world description for reference. If your world doesn't have a version number in the description, you will want to uninstall it as it is likely either the alpha or beta 1.0 version. For those who prefer not to build homes, I have also provided two save files for Alryne Valley to go with the beta 1.2 world. Alryne_Valley_Lots_Only_beta_1-2.zip contains the world with 49 of the 64 residential lots developed with either homes from the games and expansions, or my personal builds. There are 15 remaining empty residential lots. 41 community lots have also been placed with 6 remaining empty commercial lots. This save file would be ideal if you want to use your own Sims to populate the world. Alryne_Valley_Populated_beta_1-2.zip contains the above save file populated with sixteen families. Twelve households were generated by Nraas Story Progression (Flanagan, Loyd, Mann, Mauldin, McLaughlin, Proffitt, Ramirez, Reedy, Smallwood, Stein, Tyler, and Vera), and four are my creations (Amethyst, Forsythe, Random Hotties, and Three's Company). This save file would be best for those who want to just install the world and jump right into playing without a lot of preparation. Updates: There were only two changes made to this file. I replanted some floating palm trees along the coast. I've been having issues with Sims getting stuck inside the unrouteable area in the northwest corner of the map where the road ends. I checked and the unrouteable paint covers that area. I removed it and repainted it, then rebuilt the routing data. I am hoping this fixes the issue. I didn't find any other issues with the world while playing. Alryne Valley - Beta 1.1 - released 5/28/23: Alryne Valley has been upgraded to beta 1.1. There are many changes including replacing the oak trees along the coast with the original palm trees. Please see the !README.txt file for full details about the changes, the homes and custom community lots, and their addresses in Alryne Valley. There is a Jinx - Raven Shadow rabbit hole door inside the lobby for the science facility. I didn't think about mentioning it before as it slipped my mind. This should be the only custom content in Alryne Valley. By clicking the link above, you will be taken to Mediafire to download a zip file containing 15 Sims3Pack files for the world, 11 homes, and 3 custom community lots. These homes and lots have been placed in the world file. I am including them in case you wish to add any of the homes to your library. Alryne Valley - Beta 1.0 - recalled May 2023: Alryne Valley has been upgraded to Beta. I have removed the link and have removed Alryne Valley beta 1.0 from Mediafire as it had the incorrect trees along the coast. By clicking the link above, you can download a zip file containing the Alryne Valley.Sims3Pack file. Put the file in your downloads folder and use the launcher to install the world. Be sure to completely uninstall the previous version before installing the new one. I have added eight residential properties - six mobile homes and two proper homes. I have provided more complete information on my blog, The Legacy Report. Further information and more recent versions of the world will be shared there. Alryne Valley - Alpha - released 3/26/23: Alryne Valley is playable and available for download. It is currently in the Alpha stage, so there may be issues I might have missed. If you would like to test the world, or if you just want to check it out, use the link below to download Alryne Valley from Mediafire. Place the file in your The Sims 3\downloads folder and use the launcher to install it. Alryne Valley - alpha Please let me know if you find any bugs, routing errors, or other issues with the world. Please post any feedback in the comments below. Thanks for checking it out! Alryne Valley is a medium-sized world on a large map. The sims3pack and world files are each about 48MB in size. 41 commercial lots have been placed and there are six more empty community lots of different sizes available (20x30, 30x20, 30x40, 40x40, 50x50, and 60x60). Most of the rabbit hole lots come from either Sunset Valley or Riverview. I believe the rest are from the expansions. There are 64 residential lots of varying sizes (20x30, 30x20, 30x40, 40x40, 50x50, and 60x60) and NINE 64x64 lots. Three of the largest lots are located in Farmers Close, a rural area north of town. I figured if someone needs a 64x64 lot for a venue, there are plenty of lots to go around. For more information on the commercial and residential lots and their locations, please see the spoilers in the second post below. If you are a builder, this is the world for you as only one residential lot has been placed. The lakeside cabin lot costs §17,246 unfurnished and §25,571 furnished, so you may need to use the freerealestate cheat or strip the cabin bare to move a single Sim in. (I removed the majority of the windows and most of the furnishings in order for the furnished price to fall below §16,500). A couple could purchase the cabin unfurnished without cheats. Background: I created Alryne Valley specifically for the Nothing Is Free Challenge from ModtheSims. I wanted each lot to have a single rabbit hole, and I couldn't find a world that would work for this. Originally, it was created on a medium map, but I found that I couldn't block the camera from "seeing" the water beyond the mountains, so I recreated it on a large map. The occupied area would probably fit on a medium map. The valley is surrounded by hills and mountains on three sides. Sunrise Beach and Smuggler's Cove are located to the east. There are 41 lots designated for certain community buildings covering lots from any of the eleven expansions that have them. I have included the odd-sized lots for specific rabbit holes. Most of the rabbit hole lots come from either Sunset Valley or Riverview. I believe the rest are from the expansions. I have also added six empty community lots of different sizes (20x30, 30x20, 30x40, 40x40, 50x50, and 60x60). There are 63 residential lots of the same sizes as the empty community lots, as well as NINE 64x64 lots. Three of them are located in Farmers Close, a rural area. Is this overkill? :lol: When Alryne Valley is complete, I want to include the following created Sims (Should I populate the world with the couples so I can set relationships, or just make them available for download separately and let Story Progression determine their fates? :wink: ). Founders Aedan and Rowina Alryne. The town is named after them. Aedan was the first mayor of the town. Founders Garnet and Millie Wimborne. The county is named after them. They donated the land for the town. Carson and Karina Jacobs, owners of Jacobs Mercantile and Karina's Facials and Massage day spa. Richard and Sara Jacobs - parents of Millie Wimborne and Carson Jacobs. They live with their son Carson. Mack and Margie Dunwich - owners of Good Eats Diner and Margie's Salon. Connor and Alanna Alryne - parents of Aedan and Margie Dunwich. They live with their daughter Margie. Ole and Lena Nelson :lol: - owners of Nelson's Cafe. Evyn and Holly Wood - owners of Holly's Community Theatre. (I know, right? :smiley: ) Ethan and Bronwyne Wright - owners of Bronwyne Books and founders of the Wright Reading Room library. Gavin and Ginna Graham - established Graham's Pet Store and maintain the cat and dog parks. They run the Triple G Ranch horse ranch. I haven't really worked out relationships between the townsfolk or decided if I will have rival families. Perhaps the Alrynes and Wimbournes have started a family feud? I wonder which of the remaining couples will support Aedan and Rowina? * edited to add: I am working on a complete history of the town and relationships between some of the above Sims. For further information, please see my blog, The Legacy Report. Further information and more recent versions of the world will be shared there.
