Sunset Valley 30Yrs Later Populated Version Release🌟💜
hello everyone!✨
for those of you who don't know me, i'm concat_plays, a sims 3 content creator on youtube, twitch, insta, and tiktok!
sorry if this isn't how a typical tumblr post is made, i never use this site...😈
one of my most anticipated projects on my youtube channel is the full renovation of the lack luster base game sims 3 world, Sunset Valley!

after releasing the first version of the world (unpopulated) many people pointed out issues they were encountering in the world. now with the release of the populated version, all issues except for one has been fixed!
the only issue you should encounter in the populated version is the bathrooms for the seasonal festival lot being empty when the festivals come to town... other than that, all is good! (or at least i think it should)

About the World
the theme for the world as the name suggest is sunset valley but set 30 years later. the overall town vibe remains the same just a bit modernized!
the world itself requires every expansion pack, no stuff packs, has no cc, and requires three sims 3 store items but the store items are not a necessity and can all be easily replaced

String of Inspiration (Wall)
Palm Light
note: i am using brnt waffels perfect day lighting mod with isla paradiso water in all screenshots and i highly recommend if you want the world to look the exact same for you too!😀

About the Townies
i thought it would be fun if you could see some of the og sunset valley townies all grown up and living out their individual lives so expect to see a couple of familiar names around town as well as some new faces who have moved in throughout the years!
all of the households have a bio and lore written about them, the individual sims do not (this was wayyy too much work) and not only do the families have lore but the townies also have skills, jobs, and relationships with other sims.
the save file does use lots of cc hair for the sims! i have decided not to include a cc folder with the world download, i will instead include the cc creators and exact names of the cc collections i used! i tried keeping cc to a minimum and i hope listing it out like this helps!
cc by ifcasims
hair dump #248 - s club
hair dump #247 - s club
hair dump #251 - simpliciaty
hair dump #244
hair dump #243
male hair
hair dump #234 - wings
cc by elitisim
daylifesims conversion collection (merged)
cc by plumdrops
majority of the hair listed on their downloads section was used to create adult and children sims
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Install
once you download the file through simfile share, unzip the folder and inside will be two things
S.V. 30Yrs Later. sims3
Sunset Valley 30 Years Later. world
drag and drop "S.V. 30Yrs Later. sims3" into documents -> electronic arts -> sims 3 -> saves
drag and drop "Sunset Valley 30 Years Later. world" into program files OR program files (x86) -> ea games OR electronic arts -> the sims 3 -> gamedata -> shared -> non packaged -> worlds
install cc hair as you normally would!
IMPORTANT
unfortunately i could not figure out how to populate the world itself therefore in order for the townies to show up you MUST play in the save file that is provided in the download in order for the townies to show up
if you start a new game with the world itself through the main menu, the world WILL be empty, again you must play with the save file!
the save file is only a couple of minutes old meaning i started a new fresh game and only unpaused the game when i needed to switch households to edit relationships
your game will start off on sunday as usual, 9am as this was the closest to 8am i could get the save file to meaning the save file is basically new and should not be bloated

The End
this will be my final edit of the world, although it is not perfect, im very excited for you all to enjoy the renovated version of sunset valley and the crazy lore all the townies have!
please dont hesitate to share your gameplay screenshots on my discord server as i would love to see what you end up doing with the townies💚
happy simming and detailed lore video coming soon on my youtube!⭐
