    Lucky Palms or Sunlit Tides?

    in The Sims 3 Store General Discussion
    (I'm not sure if this was better suited for the General Discussion thread, but I am talking mainly about store worlds, so I put it here.)

    I'm at a bit of a crossroads as to what to do.

    See, I've gotten some Simpoints today, and I have enough to get a Store World. Now here's the thing: Lucky Palms and Sunlit Tides are the only Store Worlds I don't have. And from what I've seen of them, I've got a pretty even opinion on both.

    But if I go for the gold version of one, I obviously can't get gold for the other (I want to try all the Premium Content from something, hence why I'd like to get a Gold version).

    Then there's the choice of getting the standard versions of both, but not all the Content I'd like to try out.

    And my last choice: Don't get either, and just get some store sets instead.

    So, help me make my final decision. Do I go with:

    1. Lucky Palms Gold?
    2. Sunlit Tides Gold?
    3. The Standard for both?
    4. Neither of them?

    (Note: I did try using MMAO. Neither world showed up.)

    I own the TS3 Store as of 12/11/16 (sort of. It's complicated)

      I personally love Lucky Palms so I suggest you get that one. Sunlit Tides is really pretty but it's really spread out, and I like my worlds to be a bit more compact in map view.

      And at the same time it's a little more compact, it still has lots of space and big lots to add Store venues and things from other expansions.

      Plus the casino venue comes with a slot machine and a blackjack table which is always fun- you could use the Gold items to make a swanky club or speakeasy with an illicit gambling ring in the backroom! ;) Or a Vegas casino in a resort if you have IP!

      The possibilities are endless! Happy simming xx

      I'd have to say Lucky Palms. It's a great world, feels huge and has an area almost like another small poorer town across the road. Love that and it feels realistic.

      Sunlit Tides is lovely to look at but feels more suited to a vacation world and is a pain in the behind to get around, it seems to have far more water than usable land. Of the 2 I play LP far more often.

      As for Gold over standard, if opting for ST I'd only bother with standard, that gives you the sauna which is very good. The massage table with Gold doesn't add all that much imo.
      When I bought LP I only bought standard as I already got the Casino cheaply when it went on sale, however you could be a long time waiting for such a sale to happen again. I prefer the PC content that comes with Lucky Palms, suited to lots of other worlds.

      Lucky Palms in my opinion, so does I was amazed of looking at this landscaping more of futuristic version of Texas. The land and places with structures are specifically well organized. But, hey it is a great place with a bunch of windmills around. I did easily interested.

      Sunlit Tides fitted to be a vacation island more of summer season, however spreading the land with filling of ocean. But lack of spaces especially comes residence and commercial lots. Nice in my opinion.

      It depends on your taste! I only have Lucky Palms and it's very beautiful and perfect if you like building because there's a lot of land to build on, but the town itself isn't too spread out!

      I'd go with Lucky Palms (:

      Lucky Palms! My fave neighborhood so far! Love all the casino stuff and also that wishing well is great. I have spent a lot of time wishing for a child and getting a baby from that well.....You'll see lol Also, wishing love and kissing a frog is hilarious.

      I forgot you can get a child from the wishing well. Never tried it. Think I have the perfect couple to do that with now. :P

      Oof tough call!
      It depends on what you like, I think... Standard Version of both gives you two worlds, and the venues could wait til later? :lol: Although in fairness, Sunlite Tides is so much better in GOLD, the stuff you get is amazing, and without it, my ST wouldn't be the same, as I use the things often
      Lucky Palms is amazing too though so harumph. I'm not going to be very helpful with this one :lol:

      LP is desert, and an unusual landscape, especially for an English person like me: I have never seen any landscape like it before! So for me it's kinda surreal. The people there are cool and it has a real fresh feel to the whole place. Quite big as well, and some unique lots that stick out into the sea, make it worth it in my opinion :) I love the build buy stuff too!

      ST is sand, sun, sea type deal. It's fun, and has GREAT items come with, CAS included. Adds a lot if you have Gold. Standard hasn't got so much, although there's a lot there. It's very unusual: love the mountains and jungle parts. Water there is crystal clear and sparkly! Great, stunning worlds. Maybe not to routable as it is so large.

      So I can't make the decision for you, but maybe all that ^^ will help :) ~YJ~
