I'm trying to only use content from expansions and free Store content for the world, although I will be sharing lots and/or a world download using additional store items that make it a closer adaptation of the original neighbourhoods. The final product will have all of the community lot types from TS3 and its expansions except for those from Supernatural and Into the Future. I also took some creative liberties in adding lot types from The Sims 3 to make it a fully-functioning TS3 world. The detailed sculpting and landscaping is of course still a work-in-progress.įinally I got to the more fun part - recreating lots from the first two games in the series. This allowed me to place all the roads and lots right away and make broad topography adjustments as needed before I started working on individual lots and recreating the neighbourhood details. Next, I made a custom height map as a starting point to help keep my scale accurate and the topography as close to the original neighbourhoods as possible. As a bonus, Desiderata Valley has a road coming from a mountain tunnel and Old Town has one leaving it. Belladonna Cove and Desiderata Valley seemed the most promising, and I decided on the latter since Belladonna Cove's real estate is more expensive than most neighbourhoods and Desiderata Valley has a better ratio of residential to community lots for the world as a whole.

Then I outlined and labelled the lots, colour-coded by type identified named and unnamed roads (e.g.

I found/took screenshots of each of the four main neighbourhoods I wanted to work with: TS1's Old Town and Downtown, and TS2's Pleasantview and Downtown.

I began trying to puzzle out how they could fit together.
