Backstory:
Once a small mining town, Prospector's Pass was settled by sims looking to make their fortune from harvesting the Valley's vast gold deposits. Their mining operations were so successful that the townsfolk were soon rolling in simoleons, and as word got out about the Valley's rich bounty of natural resources, more and more sims began to flock to Prospector's Pass in hopes of them too finding their wealth. But in the early 1900’s the town’s gold supply started to run dry and people were forced to find other ways of making their money, which saw the arrival of big city oil barons and their industrial mining equipment, completely changing the appearance of the Valley from a quaint old western town to a bustling industrial city.
Lot Description: The Grill Grill Grills of Prospector's Pass is the last open restaurants of a large franchise that went bankrupt. The habitants of the city must be fan of their chops.
Lot Description: Down the basement, a pool of extremely rare pure chug-chug oil that keeps the family on the 1% for generations. Filled with family ancestors' statues and portraits, and a lot of history.
The McOil family has been one of the richest families in Prospector's Pass for countless generations. Now, recently widowed Ervin is trying to teach August everything about the family business and wants him to start working on the chug-chug oil company as soon as he finishes High School. The problem is, August has other plans. He wants to move to the city and try his luck as a musician, this has always been his dream. August never liked the decadent lifestyle his family has (butlers, maids, eating out daily, etc) and is even teaching himself how to cook. He plans to leave home as soon as he graduates and start a new life in San Myshuno. This will enrage his father, but August has a plan: showing his dad, that the perfect heir is right in front of him: little Rebecca McOil. She is a self-assured girl that will love to take control of the family company when she grows up. Will traditional narrow-minded Ervin McOil embrace this alternative plan?

With the arrival of the automobile, the Braun's grandfather built a garage behind the house.
Backstory:
Who in their right mind would ever live near the base of an active volcano? The fearless sims of Mt Magma, that's who! There are benefits to residing by such a chaotic force of nature, and sims flock to the former research base for many reasons. For the environmentally-conscious, it's because the town is powered by geothermal energy harnessed from the magma underground. For the thrill-seekers, there is nothing more hardcore than watching the sky turn to smoke as it rains rocks and flames from the eruption, and for heat-lovers that are sick of tropical islands, it's all scorching temperatures with none of the wet and sticky. Afterall, Mt Magma is home to literally the hottest parties. Just don't go skinny dipping in Molten Lake if melting's not your thing.
Lot Description: This castle is a recurring location from the Mario series. It is the domicile of the Koopa King Bowser and the base of operations for the koopa troops. (Creator @12JEREMIA ) - VACANT

Lot Description: Located in one of Mt Magma's premiere lava fields, Feastfire Bar & Grill is your go-to spot for firey entertainment and creative cuisine. Visiting the volcano? Stop by and quench your thirst with one of our award-winning craft cocktails, or feed your fire with one of our signature dishes made by chef Danzel Guerra. Just looking to relax? Take in the panoramic views on our back patio while enjoying live music any night of the week. Feastfire Bar & Grill - we bring the heat! (Creator @citiesandseas ) - VACANT (Restaurant)
Lot Description: An old inn that was converted into a home. It housed many guests until the obvious fire hazard was made apparent by the wood furniture. Now, any soul brave enough to live here will be in the heat of the moment. (Creator @AlphaGemini17 ) - VACANT
It's first and foremost a research facility, but is open to the public on weekends. Plenty for kids to do in the children's center... explore science on the chemistry sets, or do a puppet show from what they learned from the friendly staff at Mt. Magma Research! Or they can play a video game where they race to save the town from an eruption.
Parents can browse the exhibits or enjoy the rooftop view of the volcano or walk the grounds and look at the lava pond. Artists will find magnificent views to create the perfect masterpiece. There's something for everyone at Mt. Magma Research Facility. Come and spend the day!
Folks in Mt Magma believe the site is haunted by the original property owners who chose not to listen when the eruption warning was heard across the lands and most evacuated. They didn't believe they were in danger, but all of the land was consumed by the lava flow and the owners perished along with their home. (Creator @fullspiral )
Backstory:
Manta Reef has been submerged under the sea for thousands of years, but recent geological activity has caused the island to rise above the water's surface, exposing large areas of the island. The Landgraab family have decided to snatch up the island and promote it as a popular vacation spot in order to expand their real estate empire, but they've also set up a state of the art Marine Science Facility to study the island's geology and hopefully find an answer to the sudden burst of tectonic movement. After 5 years of development on the island, you wouldn't believe it was ever submerge hundreds of metres underwater, Landgraab Industries has drastically changed the appearance of the island by planting vast forests and building modern island homes. Business is going well, but the curious scientists are no closer to finding the cause of Manta Reef's surfacing, and to make matters worse, the island appears to be sinking at a very fast rate. Landowners at the edge of the island have been forced to leave their homes as the sea steadily reclaims the island, but Landgraab Industries have began the preservation of buildings all over the island by sealing them in water-tight glass domes. Excited by the opportunity to live a new environment, Sims from all over the world are flocking to the island to become some of the first underwater dwellers.

Backstory:
Do you remember that little town that loved Christmas a lot but had one mean old green creature who did not? Yeah this isn't it. Snowflake Village is a charming little town in the middle of who knows where. The town is best known for its special exports that strangely only leave once a year but we wouldn't know much about that except for the local businessman Nick, a jolly fellow who seems to have an affinity for red.

Backstory:
The local residents of Yamataki Village have always adapted with the times, whether being under a samurai warlord or a modern bureaucracy, the little fishing village has also changed while not forgetting its history and old traditions, passed down from generation to generation. The Shima Clan has always watched over the little village in the Shima Palace, which was said to be a reward from the Shogun for supporting him in the Battle of Sekigahara. It is also said that the palace was only built so that the Shogun can have the best view of the village whenever he visited during the summer. Nowadays, the spectacular scenery in this village has led to an increase in tourism and has brought many changes. More modern houses are being built alongside older ones, and more shops and tourist attractions have been popping up every year. The elderly residents of this village now worry that the young people of their community are either leaving for the city or are forgetting the traditions that their village has long preserved for centuries.
Backstory:
Ville D'Amore is a centuries-old city built atop the sands of the Simiterranean coastline. Known to the locals simply as 'Amore' this city has been voted the number one destination for honeymooning couples.
This city of romance offers a wide range of amorous activities for couples, hop in a gondola and enjoy a dreamy afternoon of punting along the canals, stroll on down to the harbour and dine on a seductive luncheon of oysters and champagne, browse the many delicatessens and boutiques that line the cobbled streets of Amore and say "ti amo" with a special gift of chocolate truffles and a bouquet of red roses for your true love.
Check into one of the luxurious lovers suites at our many 5 star hotels and embrace your other half as you watch the hot Simiterranean sun set from your balcony overlooking the sea.
Make your night even more special with an assortment of purfumes and colognes, some sexy underwear for the gentlemen, and frisky lingerie for the ladies, then dim the lights and draw the curtains, light a couple of scented candles and enjoy a night of passion in the most romantic place on Earth, Ville D'Amore.
