Hi simmers,

I started a new world after finishing Newtown Sunset Valley. It's called Fairbanks and includes an Aurora-Skies country side and a downtown with sky scrapers.

Have a look at the pictures here.

Download here.

I'm very excited to see what you're doing with your sims in Fairbanks! Please share pictures of it with me in this thread!

    Thank you Simsthreeperson and blazerntq - it's very nice to read that you like it!

    I worked again on Fairbanks - actually I'm playing it: creating families, building more homes and it's turning fall for the third time!

    As you already might have seen on other pictures, I often took houses I already used in other worlds or that were built by EA and remake them so they fit my world.

    Downtown Area:

    The “snow-problem”:

    I actually want to have snow like this:
    screenshot-196.jpg?w=1400&h=&crop=1

    And it’s almost everywhere like this except for some country side parts! I first thought that it’s because of the terrain painting but now I found out it’s because it’s too low. So I will take away the Island and rebuild this whole part again.. Any suggestions of what you would like to have changed there?

    Thank you very much Greenb70 and Shymamii!

    Since this world is really huge I might make a small one when I'm done with it just with the Little Town... We'll see :)

    Hey simmers,

    I'm building more and more of these villas:
    screenshot-223.jpg?w=1400&h=&crop=1

    And there was a sailing boat on the sea although it rained..:
    screenshot-224.jpg?w=1400&h=&crop=1

    I played with a little family: a married couple with a dog...

    Sunrise:

    screenshot-247.jpg?w=1400&h=&crop=1

    And I moved to Fairbanks with a new family...
    Melody just ordered a burrito:
    screenshot-250.jpg?w=1400&h=&crop=1

    Liam is working as a thief and got caught by the police:

    One picture from the beach:

    And a little bit of landscape for the last picture of this post:

    What do I think? I think I love you, that's what. :)

    You've done a meticulous job giving each area its own unique atmosphere. Flows very nicely. Can't wait to try it out!

    That's awesome to read Natcki!

    That's why I worked a little bit more on my world and I took some pictures. Fairbanks in my gameplay has more than 70 inhabitants at the moment and sims are moving in everyday (if I play....). Since it's still fall in my world, it has a lot of fog and rain - no sunny pictures today, I'm sorry.

    I've got two pictures from the hospital-area:
    screenshot-256.jpg?w=1400&h=&crop=1

    screenshot-257.jpg?w=1400&h=&crop=1

    And there's one picture from the harbor:
    screenshot-255.jpg?w=1400&h=&crop=1

    And one from the beach-area:

    And finally it started to snow (and it looks like how I wanted it to look like):

    Looks fantastic! Just out of curiosity, how much longer until you think this world will be downloadable? I don't mean that to be impatient or demanding, if that's how I come off -- I understand it is some pretty intense rigorous work to build a world from scratch :)
  • Options
    laratschannenlaratschannen Posts: 99 Member
    mhm I understand you'd like to have it :) But I need to build still following:

    - more homes in the rich area
    - diving spots
    - beaches

    And I will redo my graveyard because I got an idea which might look better. Besides I'm moving in with a lot of sims which I am creating so that I can offer a populated version as well - I prefer populated worlds...

    Perfect :) I'll try to hurry ;) Because I also can't wait to let you guys try it...
