    Sims 3 Lord Of The Rings World Update & Expansion Packs needed
    Hi everyone! First of all thank you for your patience and support - It is such a delight and a great motivation for Crowkeeper and I to keep going :wink: Recently a lot of users has asked us what expansion packs will be required in order to install Middle Earth properly after release :smiley:

    Required Expansion Packs:
    World Adventures, Pets, Super Natural

    Store Content:
    None

    Custom Content: Yes, but only a small amount (All included in the download)

    NEW RELEASE DATE

    Also as some of you might know, we were planning to release Middle Earth on December 25th. Due to important school finals and major life changes, we are going to have to delay the project. We are getting really close to finish it all but won't risk not being able to make it on exactly December 25rd - We want to make a quality world rather than rushing the project so it is more realistic that the world will be released in the beginning of 2016 instead! Hope everyone understands and happy holidays! :blush:

    Oh noes...

    I've been good for so long so as to stay off Santa's naughty list - and it hasn't been easy. But this was the one thing I could be persuaded to behave myself for.

    Will I have to stay off the Easter Bunny's naughty list, too? :(


    j/k - I'm sure it will be great whenever you release it :wink: Happy Holidays to you.

    I've been playing around in CAW for two months just revising an empty RH for myself. I definitely understand needing to postpone the release as I keep making changes and then remaking them to make them better and I'm not dealing with a world from scratch. Good luck with finals and life changes and hope you have a wonderful holiday season and look forward to the New Year and your world whenever it is ready. :)

    I'm adding new LOTR sims in my studio. I'll keep waiting for this release.

    Are you adding pre-made sims or a link to download them?(sorry if you mentioned this before) :)

    Wooowwwwww. I am the biggest LOTR fan, I couldn't explain how much I love it haha. So this is super exciting to discover. I can't believe how beautiful this world is. I will be eagerly following until the release date. Keep up the fantastic work guys! :):)

    Hehe loved your post, made me giggle :P Seems you made it off the Easter Bunny's naughty list as the world progress is really moving on now! A late happy holidays to you too and thanks for staying tuned :blush:

    @bekkasan
    Thank you so much for the support Bekkasan, means a lot :smiley: Crowkeepers exams went well and I had a daughter the 23rd of December - which is the main reason for the delay! Now we're back to working on the world and hopefully be able to release it soon :smile:

    @Clayworld
    Awesome! Remind me to stop by your studio when the world is finished!

    @Sakuracha
    The world will be empty in the beta version but we are planning on making a list of realistic looking LOTR characters for The Sims 3 - So we might be able to guide you to your favorite lotr people for the game :wink: And Clayworld's LOTR simmers are certainly great too!

    @FawnFox
    Thank you so much Fawn! We're getting close now :smiley:

    @cheymat
    Thank you so much! We are getting there soon :wink:

    impressive ! how do you do the sculpting like that? is it all handcrafted or do you use terrain maps? either way, well Done!

    @bekkasan Thank you so much! Life changing indeed, currently I am determined to finish this project with Crowkeeper as promised :blush: So I have her on one arm and my computer mouse in the other.

    @ratsrbest Thank you so much :wink:

    @FawnFox Thank you so much Fawn :smiley: I have a year with her so there should be lots of time luckily :wink:

    @phoebebebe13 Thank you Phoebe :blush:

    @Alleenmens Thank you Aleen :wink:

    @cheymat Thank you so much Cheymat :D No problem, have to finish what you started right? :smiley: Me and crowkeeper are working hard to finish the world these days.

    @deadhaus123 Hi deadhaus - thank you so much :smiley: I used a premade terrain but the sculpting like the misty mountains I did by hand :smiley: I don't really have a tutorial for it though as it is mostly freehand.. The sculpting in Mordor is by Crowkeeper :blush:
