Well, after more than a year in the making, Sim Acres is finally up! Before you download, here are the specs:

Specifications
  1. Oceanview is on the largest map available, with a height of 300.
  2. It has 172 lots and is 113 MB total.
  3. It is heavily populated.
  4. It has been tagged as a city, so there will be no spawned wildlife.
  5. It's a "hybrid" world, meaning that it's one part suburban, one part rural, one part beach/seaside area, one part suburban, one part city and one part military
  6. It needs the following EPs--Late Night, Pets, Ambitions, Generations, Seasons, World Adventures and Showtime
  7. It needs the following world--Riverview
  8. It has a tiny handful of items from the following SPs, but not too many--Fast Lane, High End Loft Stuff. If you don't have them, don't worry; this won't affect your game one bit.
  9. There is absolutely no CC.
  10. There might be a tiny, tiny number of store content items. I'm talking maybe a painting here or there or a potted plant.

Sim Acres has several districts, just like in my two previous worlds.

Art Deco/Mid Century Modern District:

Military:

Downtown:

And two more that I won't tell you about so you can discover them for yourselves!

    I'm looking forward to see more photos! I'm from quite a small town myself but I love cities and I have always loved city-themed worlds in The Sims 3, with all the skyscrapers and bars and apartments... But also with some suburban areas of course, where normal people can live :D So this city seems perfect for me and my gaming-style. I think Art Deco area is going to be my favourite area (I love that style!) ;)

    @VeronicaForCuba: I'm happy you're liking what you're seeing so far! The art deco district is also shaping up to be my most favorite area, which is why I have been badly neglecting the other areas. (Every time I open up CAW and swear to myself for the last time that I'll complete Downtown or the other areas, I always wind up back in that district somehow, lol.)

    Besides those art deco buildings, there are a few nice little surprises in this area that I think you might like, but I'm keeping them a secret until I complete the world for good. Till then, stay tuned! :p

    Thanks for the kind words, everyone! <3 I've been sick for the past week, so work has kind of slowed down, but hopefully, things will pick back up again later this week.

    This is a lovely world so far. May I ask what expansion packs you plan to use? From what I have seen so far it appears you have base game and Late Night. Will you be including Island Paradise as well? Great job!

    Hi, @Amathyst8 ! I'll be using these EPs:

    Late Night
    Generations
    World Adventures
    Ambitions
    Seasons
    Pets

    I do not have Island Paradise, but maybe some time in the future when I install it, I'll do an IP version of the world.

    Some more pics:

    I'm going to try to squeeze in as much work as I can this month, because as of May, I'm going to be out of commission for awhile. Hopefully, though, I'll be back up and running in the summer.

    I have an update on all the progress I've been making so far. Right now, I am in the landscaping and spawners phase. When I'm done, I'll go back and recheck all the lots and do some tweaking.

    All in all, I'd say I'm happy with the way Sim Acres is turning out, and I think players who are fond of worlds that have multiple districts might like this one.

    Unfortunately, I will have to take a break from building for medical reasons, so I am trying to squeeze in as much as possible before tomorrow. But hopefully I'll be back up and running again by the summer and have Sim Acres out soon. B)

    Your world looks very pretty and can see the care you have taken with it. Good luck with your medical stuff and hope your recovery is swift and safe.

    Hey, everyone! I'm back. Sim Acres is very close to being completed. I just have to play test it, place some families and tweak it some more. Below are some pics:

    Beautiful World, Im looking to put my sims in a new world. But most of them have cc and it dont take to likely to my Sims 3 game, so I cant use them.
    Will you be adding any CC to your world?

    @ts1depot Wait a minute, you said all your Worlds are cc free, so is there other worlds I should have know about, if so. Please tell me where I can download them. I surely appreciate it!

    Ooh, I'm very excited to see how this turns out. I spent a painstaking two weeks modifying Bridgeport to suit my needs because I couldn't find a city world that I liked enough to use, but this one is gorgeous.

    Also, points for repping New Yorkers. ;)
