Hi Everyone 
I know there are so many threads about this, but I have ALOT of simpoints at the moment, it's like been given your partners wallet for the day, and with enough to not only buy Aurora Skies but another copy for a competition I wanted to start but...the thing is it's sorta already done, but I so need help with that too! I have a household of nine sims including two cats, so its seven sims in total. It is two families living together as Supernatural, with beautiful children, who by the way fairy toddler is aging up as soon as I enter the game again, it's her birthday!
So, I would like to know if the new world is worth buying and if so, I would like to put it as first prize also if I can get someone to build a house for my sims. I have no idea what house design I should do, I have been in a dilemma with that for two weeks. I have looked up Youtube trying to get inspiration from The Curtis Paradis Show, and nearly downloaded a lot, but he uses alot of cheats and because I like to move stuff and maybe redecorate, I feel it's not a good idea, I look at other houses on the exchange, but the house that I had in mind doesn't match the house I want. They are a huge household, they live together, yet remain as separate families and function really well together, well except Rainflower Ivy and Alexa Burt, they hate each other :twisted:
I was going to press on it and buy it, and I know I wanted to do another competition for the above said. So if I can get thoughts on the world, how it plays etc, because it's alot of points, and I don't want to waste money. Yep I see some good aspects of it, but the world doesn't look very big, and is there room to expand and put extra stuff from other worlds there? How many 64x64 lots are there and is there much room to make more? Like moonlight Falls? I would love to know all that, because the first thing I do before I even start playing my sim, is to go into Edit town mode and I edit the life out of it :twisted:
I would appreciate any input on that too, actually more than anything, I love the edit town feature, and alot of worlds are not big enough, take Bridgeport for instance. But Moonlight falls is huge and I can do HEAPS to it.
Thank you for any information in advance!

I just like to drop it on simmers heads.
Heheheee.......
Snickersssss......
PUPPY POWER. :evil: :twisted:
I am a sims 3 Store Owner Thanks to all my Amazing friends here, and I do own all store stuff from sims 2 as well!

But, what I wanted to say is, that I think the idea for your contest sounds awesome! House Building contests always do really good, and I think making one that's for so many family members, and supernatural members will be quite challenging!
If this means what I think it means you're one dangerous puppy!
I'd also like to say that was very sweet of you and I'm sure the OP will be very happy with their new gift. ^-^
I can't wait to get back home and into my game to explore the world, I haven't managed to play it properly yet as I was sidetracked with a build, and now work...
BUT, SimsVip has a guide for that world here, just click the Aurora Skies tab.
It would definitely be a challenge. Especially trying to make all of the rooms fit each sim's personality. It sounds like it would be fun though. :-)
Edit: As for your question I'm afraid I can't help you since I don't have AS. I hope someone can find the information for you!
christinebremner, sorry, I'm no help, either, I haven't played it. But hopefully someone will come along soon that has it. Nice to meet you! Lovely that you want to do a contest to give it away. What kind of help are you looking for with your contest?
If you can't decide on a style, you can always leave it open for the entrants to decide. You will get a nice mix that way, and you might really love something you never would have thought of asking for
I don't think I have seen you around hosting other competitions.(if you have been, sorry!!) But here is a link to a great post that helped me greatly when making a contest
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/327785.page
and here's another great post with lots of help
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/573277.page
Let me know if I can help!
Nope doesn't mean that. No more points this month. :x
Aww, poor puppy
I think you did enough damage, anyway! LOL
Okay this sounds pretty cool, and pictures look great, and the info on size lots is great because that's what I really look for as well.
Grizz1y I saw that reply and I was a bit nervous LOL :twisted: Evil puppies, OMG i need one for my sims :twisted:
It's sounds really good, I have been so up in arms about it, and the world is sooo appealing! Thank you for sharing lot sizes and everyone's great advice.
As for the competition, I have had this in mind for around two weeks, since I realized these families needed a huge change, all 5 star celebrities, high level singers, magicians, werewolf toddlers just been adorable, and lovely little Kayla, my main sims daugher.
Okay I going to have a think, and see how I can do this competition. Alot of sims, all with traits I'm sure you will find suits the household well, even the toddlers. The cats just aged up too, they have alot of traits also to list. So you think this will be a good contest? I will have second and third prize, but not as elaborate as first prize, which will be Aurora Skies, whatever edition as well I might add
Hugs back to everyone and this kind of help really makes it's easier for me to do both of these things
Trying to build a big house for your family could be fun though.
(no ts3 wishlist, because I own the store)

super squishy hugz
I am a sims 3 Store Owner Thanks to all my Amazing friends here, and I do own all store stuff from sims 2 as well!
Thank you so much for that info! Now I can see what kind of lots there are and what I can place, not to mention actually looking at it and going for the edit town spree!! lol
I know about the cool stuff like the hot air balloon and the day care centre AND all the cool new toddlers stuff, and knowing that the lot sizes are something I could work with, is extremely appealing now!
Even if you think you missed or doubled, this kind of info is defo making my mind up, and truly a worthy prize for the competition.
Okay I'm going to go and get a headshot of my main sim, and give you a quick run down on her only. The rest will I will include with the new thread I will make later once I have all the sims pictures and info and small storyline about them. I started with one sim and added from there. And the storyline progression on them has been really cool, including a major part about the loss of the Eternally faithful moodlets caused by magic. I love this storyline, but havent played it because of this dilemma with the house, and I want to carry it on in a new spot in moonlight falls, preferably near the beach, either 50x50 lot or 64x64. Either across the road from the beach or pretty much on top of it. You know a house that matches that scenery.
I will be back and once again you are all fabulous and Tnt_Terry thank you again for taking the time to get all that info for me. Much appreciated I can assure you. *hugs)
...so the puppy is admitting vulnerability? Really? How very interesting... :twisted:
I am keeping an eye out too, as I am now becoming a target for gifting
Meet Lola FaeMagic. Lola is a young adult fairy who came to Moonlight Falls 51 weeks and 6 days ago. She was a single sim, all on her lonesome, but soon found friends. Her best friends at the time was Bianca Crumplebottom, and hung out quite alot. But things changed when she became a top Alchemist and then started to play with the Philosopher's stone, and from the calling the Netherworld, she bought Alexa Burt back. They became fast friends, best of friends to the point Alexa would literally set people on fire at her free will for her. Alexa loves Lola very much, thankful too for the second chance she may just have for dying so young from the Mummy curse. Lola was also going to help, but thats part of the story I have yet to make a create a story.
Then she met Rainflower Ivy at work, after joining the music career, they could not contain it any longer....they were deeply in love. He moved in with her and they married but I will not spoil anymore of the story as its quite cool. I will link it when I complete it.
The rest of the story as I said I will link, but here she is, Lola with all her traits.
To look at her, you wouldn't think she has these traits :twisted: But they work well with the environment and the people she mingles with.
Traits
Brave
Evil
Good Sense of Humor
Diva
Party Animal
Current Career - Level 8 Singer
I hope you like her, and can already imagine what the house environment is like. I will say that they work as a team looking after each others babies/toddlers, and Bonehilda has been a dream for this household. So...after much consideration, I have decided to hold a second contest, just for my awesome sims
:twisted:
*Does happy dance*
Well I guess now everyone can get ya puppy without you snapping at us :twisted:
Thank you Annita!
I haven't been able to come up with a second or third prize yet. The SP structure I mean, I'm going through that now.
Oh btw does anyone know how to take a picture of the sims in CAS? I tried ctrl+printscreen but when i put it to Paint, it comes up black? Am I doing something wrong there? Thanks again
The world really is beautiful in game. The town is on the whole wonderfully compact, so your sims can get around most places they need really quickly (on bikes if you like that sort of thing, which i do). There are a number of empty lots, 3 are 64x64 I believe, which is really handy. There are some interesting townies, and the toddler content is excellent if you like big families and/or working families.
The HAB is a bit of a disappointment. For me so are most of the clothes and hairs that come with the world, but i appear to be in the minority in that opinion. I feel its overpriced, but then so are all the store worlds.
Overall I am loving playing there, its pretty (so colorful) and easy to navigate, and as i do enjoy playing families, the toddler content is useful. I also like that there is a non rabbit hole cafe (begging to be a coffeehouse come uni life!) and a hangout, that easily became a dive bar in my game.
Thanks
Amby
Thank you! Lola to me is how a Supernatural fairy looks like
@Kat
Thank you for that
@Amby316
This world does sound great
I was convinced of the cool stuff that comes with it, and now I know the lots are good and can add as well. Aurora Skies sounds like my kind of world.
Oh one more question.
Does it handle the Supernatural aspect of it okay? I mean with plants, gems, and insects?
