Hi, I've been following your updates on the North Bend world, and I'd like to know if you're going to bring the world with all the lots already included.
Hey there, I dunno think so, sorry! As I use a lotta lots and buildings from other creators, this wouldn‘t feel ok. I haven’t touch the game for a long time now but I always thought about sharing a save file. So it‘s not very likely but never say never :)
People asked several times about my North Bend Lots, so i put up some more for download. Some of them are inspired by the buildings in Twin Peaks, some are copies from real buildings in Snoqualmie and North Bend. Most of them are still wips, so they're not fully built yet. Do whatever you want with them to create your own unique town :) I tried to delete or at least reduce the CC i used, but some of them may still contain some cc walls or patterns. You might miss them if you don't own the CC cause my DLs come as package only. Just put them in your library. You can find the right location for each lot in the description.
I created a folder for all my NB lots on mediafire. Simfileshare seems not working right now, I'll add them later.
Would you be willing to put some of your Northbend Lots available for download 🥹
Hi, check up my latest post, some of them are available for download now. Most of my NB buildings are from other creators, so i won't upload them, but i linked some of them in previous postings.
edit: seems something went wrong with my post and it didn't show up but here is the link to my North Bend lots: https://app.mediafire.com/folder/8dp95qgb64pqh
edit2: ha, i accidently postet it on my second page, i just reblogged it to make it visible here.
Original Sims 4 Challenge here by moonfi - this is just an adaptation for TS3!
I love the idea of the original globetrotter challenge by @moonfi but the original rules are for TS4 and are specifically themed around those worlds, so I decided to make my own version adapted for the TS3 worlds / gameplay, ofc all credit goes to moonfi for the original idea :)
Credit also goes to @florydaax for the store world legacy & @horusmenhosetix for the HIX Completionist Challenge - I took some inspo from both of those to come up with the goals for each location
This is my first attempt at creating a challenge for public release so if anyone has any feedback / suggestions pls lmk
Feel free to tag me or use #TS3Globetrotter if you try this out I'd love to see how your gameplay goes - no obligation to do that though! I'm just curious lol :)
Your sim is an adventurer visiting many places around the globe… Begin your explorations in the challenge below…
[Google Docs Version HERE - I reccomend reading the challenge on there & making a personal copy for gameplay!]
There are two ways to play this challenge, the original way is intended to be played with one sim. If you're going this route it’s best to turn the aging off or set it to long - However, there is also an option to play this challenge generationally if you wish (just treat each ‘round’ as a new generation or span 2 rounds across each generation etc. It’s up to you how you want to work that out!)
The challenge is NOT about accumulating money, but enjoying the gameplay. Each round has its own main LTW and a few other goals to fulfil, but it rarely has a specific career your sim must follow - that’s because the focus should be on exploring the world around them rather than spending a lot of time in rabbitholes
This challenge uses a combination of store worlds & EP worlds, but I’ve also included few alternative custom worlds for each round you can use instead if you’d prefer - if you want to take creative liberty and choose your own world you’d rather use for a round that’s totally fine! Just make sure it fits in with the correct vibe & theme for that round / generation
You can play these rounds in whatever order you want to, but I’ve presented them in a similar order to the original challenge w. each backstory following on from the last - you can ignore or alter the backstories as you wish to suit your gamplay ofc!
THE RULES:
MOD RECCOMENDATIONS: This challenge can be played without mods, but it is definitely enhanced by their inclusion, so here are some suggestions…
NRAAS Traveller will allow your sim to travel to any world you have installed, and retain relationships w. sims from previous trips once they move worlds
NRAAS Tempest will allow you to take control over the world climate, which is recommended for full immersion - I also suggest checking out Pudding Parade’s Tempest project to find some premade settings for several types of different climates you can just place in your save!
Create a sim (any age, but recommended to start with a YA), and once you move them to the first location give them a tent and set the funds to 0–50 simoleons (0 for a more challenging start)
Cheats bar: testingcheatsenabled TRUE // familyfunds [insert household name] 0
Main LTWs must be completed during their round, the other goals must be completed at least halfway before moving to a new location
You have a choice of several LTWs to complete for each round - take your pick of one of these, it’s not expected for you to do more than one
If you’re only playing with one sim for the duration of the challenge, you can either buy a LTR to change your sims lifetime wish for each round, or go and change it manually in CAS through cheats
Your sim cannot travel to places outside the world you’re currently playing in (unless specified by that round)
They can apply for a job once they have: a tent (or a bed), a campfire (or a stove), a fridge, a toilet, a shower, a sink, a counter, a chair. they must quit their job when you move to the next location. your sim can make money by selling things they found and created from their family / personal inventory.
You can purchase a house in a world once you have the funds to do so - just know you’ll have to leave it behind when you move, so don’t get too invested!
When moving to a new location your sim can take one piece of furniture and their tent. you should sell the rest. all the collectibles or souvenirs your sim found and put in their inventory travel with them as well
In order to move worlds, your sim needs to have 20,000 simoleons in the bank - you can cheat this money if you need to, but you must reset your family funds back to normal once they’re in the next world.
If your sim forms relationships or has kids in a previous world, they can either abandon / leave them behind completely or bring them along to the next world - it’s totally up to you!
As an additional challenge, aim to master the Photography skill & take scenic photos of every town your sim visits
ROUND 1: THE ARCTIC ⛰️🌠
WORLD REC: Aurora Skies / Saaqartoq
Recently packing up all their belongings and hopping on a plane from their hometown of Sunset Valley, your sim wishes to explore the world. Their first stop is to experience the most unique wonderful natural anomalies to be found in the cold arctic ocean.

Having spent a good chunk of time immersing themselves in the scientific community, your sim feels like they’ve achieved enough to deserve a nice holiday. They set out to a warm island town to relax. They just want to chill, run away from the cold and sink their toes into the ocean. They’ve dipped their toes into fishing before, and would now like to fully immerse themselves in the deep blue sea and see what kind of things they can find.
