New World WIP

Here's a quick update on the world I'm working on that I still don't have a name for yet lol. This world is large but the playable area will be medium sized. I really wanted to make a realistic subdivision with move in ready homes. Each house is empty for now, but has furnished kitchens and bathrooms. I added little details in each house like water heaters, electrical boxes, hoses, and downspouts. My goal for this world is to use the least amount of CC possible... only using CC to add minor realistic touches. I want to focus on using the objects that are already available in game. I really had to rack my brain on how a small town's infrastructure would develop. Luckily, I have a lot of references nearby me so it's been fun making observations in real life when I go out. Adding parking lots to community buildings really help ground rabbitholes and make them look like they belong. I've got the map laid out in my head and now I'm just working section by section to avoid burnout.

Please excuse how bald this world looks right now... I plan on adding trees last because it makes it harder for me to visualize the layout.

Sneak peak to my new world! I started this world 2 years ago and never got around to building lots until now. I found these awesome telephone poles converted by @bioniczombie and wanted to make matching telephone wires. I'm basing this world off of my home state North Carolina. I really wanted to make a world with a realistic small town feel.

I'm backkk

Life happened and I had to take a break from the sims... I got married had a kid and now I'm ready to tackle the sims again! Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to work on Naboo and Trost anymore... I simply just don't have the time to make custom objects for these worlds and fix everything. But don't worry though! I plan on releasing the caw files and the files for the custom objects I made. I'll also make a list of things that I would fix to make the worlds more playable. I am actually working on another world but it's more of a small town in the mountains which I find much easier to design and build in. I debated on whether or not on releasing the Naboo and Trost caw files but I wanted to let y'all have a chance to enjoy what I started.

I'm so happy to be back making stuff for the sims :D

Just found out you're making a Naboo world, want to say I'm excited for when you eventually finish (or not) and release it! whether it takes a couple of months or another couple years, I'm excited to play on it,, even if it's just beta lol' I love the SW prequels and I want to get on with playing the ideal "what if Anakin never turned to the dark side and he and Padmé were happily ever after with their two lil' kids" scenario in a pretty SW world <33

YESSS that was the main reason I started building Naboo! If Anakin and Padme couldn’t have their happily ever after in the movies then I’ll just do it in the sims 😭 I’ve just been busy with school and life but I’ll post a Naboo update this weekend ❤️

found this on Pinterest and now I’m trying to fight the urge to make a Forks twilight world

⚔️TROST UPDATE⚔️

Finally finished a chunk of Trost! It took awhile because I was trying to figure out how the buildings should look in ts3, making cc objects (like the decor arches, garrison roof decor, retaining walls), and figuring out a layout that felt natural. After multiple revisions, I was able to build the exteriors for a journalist/business building, consignment store, hospital, bar, and started the garrison regiment headquarters (still need to make cc for the top tower). I will make a more detailed post once I finish doing the interiors. Previously, I made stone corner objects for the buildings but I didn’t want to use too much cc so I’m just using a wallpaper from LN. Also, as you can see from the top view shot, this is a total of 5 large lots because that seemed more logical than having multiple small lots (hopefully this is more game friendly too). To put it into perspective, within these 5 lots, 1-2 buildings are accessible/functional and the rest within that lot are empty.These are all community lots, so I think I’m gonna work on residential/apartment lots next.Things will probably be moving more quickly because I have finalized a design style for the buildings which I made sure to look at reference photos from the anime and AOT game. Hopefully I will be more consistent with updates after my finals so I can make more progress on this big passion project of mine ❤️

If anyone has any suggestions for what kind of community lots I should add they would be greatly appreciated! I’m not sure what Trost citizens did for fun (life in Attack on Titan is rough), but I plan on adding a bunch of bars/taverns where they can drink their sorrows away and forget about titans lol.

Building worlds in the sims 3 is so hard. You really have to be a city planner, architect, interior designer, and understand the game mechanics to create a world. Anyways I will post an update on my Trost world tmrw, but I’ve been hesitant because I have a bad habit of redoing the same buildings 8+ times😭. I’m experiencing the law of diminishing returns but I can’t help being a perfectionist.

Can I download this world or not really?

If you’re talking about my Naboo world then no you can’t download it. This is because it’s unfinished and is pretty much empty.

It’s Here! 

Converted from the Sims 4 Snowy Escape debug buildings to use for CAW and Edit World. I wanted them for a world project I’m working on and I figured others wanted it too!

Originally I was having Problems with converting the Apartments but with the help of @hydrangeachainsaw and using @aroundthesims City Living Conversions as a Base, I was able to convert them!

Comes with 21 Deco Buildings around 5k polys (remember these are Large Objects and low poly for what they are.)

I didn’t convert the ski related buildings since they were converted by Around the Sims HERE

This is a sign that I need to finish my Japanese small coastal town😭. Just look at how amazing these buildings are!!!

[maerisimmer]

I Made some corner stone columns and cornices. It was a struggle making them look proper in game 😣, but it was worth it because they make buildings look way more 3D!

Attack on Titan Trost World Wip 1/8/2022

Since tomorrow is when Attack on Titan is coming back I wanted to post a wip of Trost! I’ve worked more on the landscape and towns inside wall rose instead of focusing on the actual city, but I finally came up with a city layout after looking at the AOT game maps. Right now I’m adding curb sidewalks to make the city roads look more like roads (This is so tedious but I love the look of it). I’m very motivated right now and relieved that I have a plan for how the actual city will be formatted.

The Old Survey Corps Headquarters

“The former headquarters of the Survey Corps. The facility is no more than an old converted castle. Charming in its way, sure...”

[maerisimmer]

WIP Trost District To celebrate Attack on Titan ending in January I wanted to make a sims world of my favorite district :) It’s completely bare bones right now and I’m working on the distant terrain as I speak. Surprisingly easier to build and can’t wait to start adding medieval styled buildings! Things I plan on adding: Old Survey Corps HQ, the training grounds, Ragako Village, Castle Utgard, and mines & forests

I’m Back...

Hi guys! I finally got back into playing the sims (life got crazy and college sucks). I probably won’t finish Naboo anytime soon. I literally have no idea how to design the city layout and I am feeling burned out. I am working on another world though and it’s based off of a certain district in an anime👀... Sorry once again for disappearing💞

[maerisimmer]

anybody know how to fix this? I turned on boundary lines to check if any lots were crossing them, then turned them off but there are still lines all over my world... :(
