No University Sims

New residential and community lots (empty)

New road and paths

New lot addresses

New street lights and decor

I believe I will be sharing lots that I’m about to create.

I’m using a lightning mod by Let Them Eat Burnt Waffles (with Lucky Palms water).

Hope you’ll like Oakwood Plains. If you’re going to share some gameplay photos taken in this world, please tag them Oakwood Plains. I’d love to see them. ♥

Aelview is perfect for those who want a suburban little tight-knit town for their sims to live in. I had an idea for this. The map is here. It shows lot sizes & community/residential lots. Who doesn’t need a small world with lots of lots?

My idea was for a suburban community where sims had backyards that pretty much backed into each other that kids could travel backyard to backyard, playing till the streetlights came on. I envision a tight and friendly community living here. But of course make of it as you will. 

I will release a save file eventually, and any special lots/houses I make :) Of course you are allowed to create & upload your own save file if it so pleases you :) 

Be aware: This is new, if there are bugs I have not yet found them, but I doubt there will be. If you encounter any issue please message me. 

Details & such: 

This is a small world, for us who enjoy small worlds because theyre lag free and or cant load large worlds :P

It is completely base game compatible, you do not need any eps. 

I made this with patch 1.57, because if you have a mac like me, you haven’t patched because graphics are aheuiwjs :) It will work with later patches.

There are plenty of spawners for all you people who like to gather and collect. 

There is a lot in the far top right of the map, as I was given an idea for an enchanted forest.. It has not been filled in but it does have trees around so it’s also hidden. It can also be used as just a secluded lot for your sims, or whatever you would like to “hide” :P

The beach is also “hidden”. But you can still get there, there is a path hehe. 

Any issues, please message me.  If you take any photos or build on it etc, i’d love for you to show me, so tag it emperorsims or aelview. 

& Finally, the download

Tourmaline Valley 

Tourmaline Valley is what happened when I tried to make a world inspired by the area I live in. There’s a few different little neighborhoods along with a shopping district and two beaches.

I made this world for myself because I needed a change of scenery and place similar to home. This is also my first time really messing around with Create-a-World so sorry for any things that are a bit wonky.

Details →

I’m currently patched to 1.63, so it’ll probably require that. Sorry, Mac users.

It’s base game compatible with lots of spawners included! 

There’s 25 residential lots and 15 community lots. I chose the most common lot sizes for the residential lots to make it easier for myself (and you).

I’ll probably upload a save file of Tourmaline Valley at a later point in time. 

Let me know if there’s any issues or anything! Happy Simming.

Foxboro;

"Founded in 1827 by James A. Fox, Foxboro was intended to be a small, farming outpost of the ruling power of the day. Since that time, however, Foxboro has transformed from it’s farming roots to a quaint, peaceful community loved by all who visit (and stay.)"

Hope you guys like Foxboro! :D This is actually like the 3rd Foxboro, I just didn’t like the other ones. XD And here’s the buttload of info I feel you need for this world.

REQUIREMENTS;

- Pets - Ambitions - Supernatural - Seasons - I think the Town Hall came with Riverview, but you can download it free from the sims store. Seasons isn’t necessary, but if you don’t have it you’ll have to rearrange the park to make it look better. :) On the lot with all the shops, the umbrellas on the tables are World Adventures, but they just won’t show up if you don’t have ‘em.

OTHER;

There are a total of 24 lots; 15 residential and 9 community. I completely forgot the military rabbithole, but that can be fixed if you use one of the 3 in one rabbitholes from an EP. Also, the beach will take a little work if you wanna relax there. You can build sandcastles and swim and such, but not relax. It’s not flat enough. But a little work’ll fix it if you need it fixed. :)

I used awesims textures.

Also, there are no pre-built houses in the world, because CAW doesn’t like to cooperate, and wears on my already thin patience. XD But, if you don’t wanna wait for me to upload the houses, farfallesims has tons of houses that’ll fit most of the lots, plus I have quite a few older downloads available.

► download (info, screenshots, and sims3pack included)

TOU ► Do not re-upload, or claim as your own. Tag me if you post pictures of it.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! :) And if you notice any problems, please let me know.

Elmhurst

"Situated off of the coast of North Simerica, Elmhurst is a tiny island dominated by Elm trees. With it’s small size comes a sense of community and quiet peacefulness that any sim will be sure to enjoy."

Here is the revamped version of Elmhurst, finally. You may notice a few changes if you saw the previous post. First of all, I changed some of the community lots, and I added in a little dog park too. In the residential area, I added in a road, and messed around with the confinguration, shamelessly taking off of Pleyita’s idea with her world Quaintcoast. You’ll see what I mean in the world, but basically, I changed it to where it can kind of be like a tree lined street. Here’s some more info:

There’s a total of 23 lots- 2 parks, 11 community lots (with multiple rabbitholes placed on one), and 10 residential lots. Thus, there’s not much room for expansion, so this probably isn’t the world for you if you like legacy worlds. XP

The smallest lot is 15 x 12, so everything else is a little bigger.

Elmhurst requires Pets and World Adventures, but uses items from all EPs except ITF. So if you don’t have one of these EPs it may look a little wonky to you. A detailed list of EPs used is included in the info portion of the download. The world is CC free, with the exception of one house that uses CC ivy. Sorry! D:

Finally, after all this time, Fairhaven City is available to download.

It requires all Expansion Packs and no Stuff Packs. Contains CC. 

Includes optional save game, which makes the world populated. Please read the text files inside the .rar file.

I would like to thank my friend for helping me out with creating all those sims for FC, it would take me ages alone :-)

Mesa Grande by aaronrogers8i3

The world is a small desert desert town built upon lush green grass surrounding an oasis. The world contains 20 households with sims that have skills, relationships and careers.

There is CC in the world made by the creator, so it is included in the download.

Requirements: None. It works with basegame.

'Roseward' - A Zombie Apocalypse World by Nigalkins [1000+ Follower Gift]

Download [4shared]

Hello! I’ve spent some time on this world for a while; and finally I’ve finished it. It’s a zombie apocalypse themed world. There are 44 lots in total and it’s on a large map with distant terrain. Most of these lots are furnished however some are empty shells since most buildings will be decoration. It shouldn’t contain any CC and probably uses all expansion packs up until present(University). Items from stuff packs were used but they’ll be replaced. Furthermore, there are also lots that are suitable to create your own safe zone for your Sims to live. If you want more screenshots, click here.

Feel free to use this world for whatever you want; a zombie apocalypse challenge, taking screenshots or whatever! However, please do not re-upload this/claiming it as your own!

Follower Gift - New Twinbrook Beta

like the name says; it’s an edited Twinbrook. Mainly to make it playable with more EP’s than Ambitions. Now you also have community lots from Late Night, Showtime, Pets, Supernatural and University Life

Other than that I replaced the textures of the terrain and streets, did a lot terrain painting myself, changed the routing and placed more lots.

The rest is absolutely the same like in Twinbrook that includes even the population of the town

I named it Beta, cause there still might be issues…I mean I played the world, but there is always the chance that I missed something, so if you find any issues, even if it’s a small one, message me asap. And I thought before I place any Store objects or Store venues I should upload the world.

I deleted the ID file of the world so it’s not a default one and you can still play the normal Twinbrook

You will need every EP, except Into the Future, and Isla Paradiso is optional, cause i only placed the distant terrain of it

awesims for the textures and two community lots

aroundthesims for the bench (I installed it as a package, so be sure to convert it, if you want it to show up)

mysimsreality for the university life lots (though I changed the exterior of those)

brntwaffels for the lightning mod, which I used as a base for the lighting in this world

You might notice stuck sims in the showtime/late night area. It#s the apartment that came with late night, so I didn#t even build it, I just placedit form my bin. So just get rid of it and place a new one if you want

Follower Gift - Duneoog

a tiny Island made for the Midnight Sun Challenge

You will find three lots in this world:

Your actual residental lot 40x40

2 community lots : a view point 15x15                                                          a beach lot 25x30

Requirements:

the EP’s University Life, Ambitions and Island Paradise (only for the stones though)

The Store world Aurora Skies; but it’s no drama if you don’t have it, cause I only used one tree from it. If you don’t have it will get replaced by Oaks ;)

Addtional Note:

I really recommend playing the world/challenge with the Nraas Mod ‘Register’ otherwise the world will be filled with a bunch of animals, tourists, townies and paparazzis.

Just place a pc on your lot, click it and disable everything you don’t want to show up.

Download the World

In case you wanna change something, like the theme of the world, I also uploaded the CAW files.

Download CAW files

I don’t really care what you’re gonna do with it since I didn’t put much effort in this world, just don’t upload it elsewhere.

Follower Gift St. Manolia

St. Manolia, a little island, which will cross your way if you sail from Sunset Valley to Isla Paradiso. If your searching for a charming relaxing place to settle down, then you’re at the right place!

OMG MY FIRST WORLD!!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW EXCITED I AM TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU!! I had so much fun creating this one, even when I was really desperate at some times :D

This is world is empty at the moment, but DON’T WORRY I’m already working on a fully build and populated save file, which you just have to place in your save folder then ;)

NOTES:

Medium Sized World

I didn’t named all the communtiy lots, especially in the city center, since I wasn’t sure, where I want to place certain community lots

Required EP’s: World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, University Life, Island Paradise

This empty world has no diving spots nor housboats, but they’ll be in the save file

Required Store Worlds: Lucky Palms, Sunlit Tides, Monte Vista, Aurora Skies

If you have Seasons then you will notice some routing issues on the beach only at winter, unfortunately there’s nothing i can do about it :( (look here for pictures)

DON’T HESTITATE TO MESSAGE ME IF YOU FIND MORE ISSUES!! I mean I tested the world, but there’s always the possibilty that I didn’t see something

Don’t worry about the size of the world file! I know it’s big! Normally it would be  60mb, but after I included a lightning mod the size kinda exploded :D

SORRY for using Store Worlds, but since I built the world for me I used trees and terrain textures from which I thought it would suit the most for the world I imagined. But you can grab them HERE or HERE

CREDITS:

brntwaffels, for the lovely lightning mod I included.

aroundthesims, for the awesome and charming CC (are included)

But I would like to add that I don’t mind if you wanna publish a save file on your own, but don’t include my wolrd!! just link back to this post, please :)!

OAKSHORE 1.1 (UPDATE: SEE NOTE)

Oakshore has finally come out of beta! I have made many improvements and slight changes to make it much more friendly to play, as well as changing the whole look of the East end.

Changes include:

Oakshore, now with more shore! Oakshore’s beach has been greatly expanded, as per user requests.

More space! Lots more space! Oakshore has never been this spacious. There is room for much more lots now.

Completely new road layout, complete with streetlights and winding footpaths.

More/better spawner placement throughout the town.

Some aesthetic fixes such as prettying up the waterfall, adding shrubberies to the landscape, adding some hills and depth, and altering the shore’s rocky landscape.

Requirements:

All EPs except Into the Future and Showtime.

Aurora Skies and Riverview from the Store (or elsewhere, yarr)

Bridges from ModTheSims <- (click) download the files ‘Bluefunk_Riverview_Bridges_InGame.package.zip’ and ‘Bluefunk_Riverview_Bridges.package.zip’ and place the packages in your Mods folder.

Troubleshooting:

Having trouble getting the world to show up in your main menu? This is a bug with installing worlds since the 1.42 patch. Workarounds can be found in this thread HERE. This does not always need to be done, so try to install it the regular way (via launcher) first. If that doesn’t work do this.

Can’t place a blank lot in Edit Town? This is a game-wide issue, especially if you are trying to place a lot where another lot used to be (and got demolished). If you are placing a lot where another lot once was, save your game and exit to the main menu. Then reload. If you are having trouble getting a lot to snap to the road, hold down your ALT key while placing the lot, as it allows finer placement. You can also rotate it freely so you can get it to match the angle of the road.

HELP Oakshore broke my game what do I do?! Shouldn’t break your game, but if you want to uninstall it, you need to go into the Nonpackaged > Worlds directory you installed it to via the instructions in the MTS link and simply delete the file. Make sure to delete any saves you have in the world as well.

Credits:

I used a MySimRealty heightmap as the base terrain for this world, because I couldn’t properly morph terrain to match the edges of the Sunset Valley distant terrain myself (because I fail). Other than a vague part of the heightmap it has pretty much nothing in common with the original world, as I didn’t even keep any roads or textures from it whatsoever, and sculpted 90% of the terrain all over again.

UPDATE: This file has been updated as of today (Nov 02). Please replace your current Oakshore.world with this new one (link updated.) Changelog:

13 total pre-placed community lot spaces

21 total pre-placed residential lot spaces

Underwater textures are not full of fail anymore (grass texture? Really pleyita? Really? For real?)

Smoothed out the routing

Smoothed out the underwater heightmap so that your sims don’t impale themselves on sudden ocean spikes of doom and bleed out and feed sharks

As requested by simplr-sims ♥

Here’s the empty/test version, we’ll call it, of my new island world for anyone who wants to mess with it. I kept the plants and spawners as they were, but otherwise, this world’s empty!

I’ll be attempting to adjust the sky and water colors before all is said and done, but this is what I have so far! I’d love to hear any feedback :D

If you’re interested, you can download it!

This my my edited version of Hidden Springs… Hidden Skies! I named it Hidden Skies because I used Aurora Skies roads and a few other Aurora Skies things.

I love Hidden Springs but there’s not enough room for all of my favorite larger community lots so I decided to edit it and make a lot more room, I added many 64x64 lots and other sizes, a few houseboat lots, a beach lot, changed the park and used different community lots from the Sims 3 Store and all different worlds from different EP’s and SP’s. This world is NOT populated and no CC is in the world, you can find more pictures and more detailed information here. DOWNLOAD

Foxwick

I’m fairly proud of this world as it is the first thing I’ve ever completed in CAW.

I OWN ALL SPs AND EPs SO I MIGHT HAVE USED CERTAIN OBJECTS FROM THOSE (although they’ll be replaced so no biggie). Also I believe the grass might be from Lucky Palms (Roaring heights, but I’m 80% sure it’s Lucky Palms) (I don’t know if you need it for it to work though…)

You can use this world however you want, just credit where credit is due! Also tag Foxwick so that I can check out what you guys have done with it!

I don’t have a save for this out as of now, but one will probably come out sometime soon.

Ok, enough talking, here’s the download:

Oh! and if you want it to look similar to how it does here. I used this lighting mod (with Sunlit Tides’ water).

If any of you have problems with the world, message me and I’ll see what I can do to fix it.
