      I guess when they allow you to purchase it with simpoints they aren't allowed to release it in stores?

      And, I'm not sure on this one, I'll have to see more. :?

      Definitely need to see more as it seems pretty bland so far. Looks like I'll need to photoshop another case cover for this one since it's not being released in retail versions.

      Ooh! I quite like the look of the little cube homes and colourful roofs. It almost reminds me of somewhere in Iceland, or maybe Northern Europe. Quite lovely indeed! c:

      I'm looking at these pictures and I see what looks like a dam? :shock: Or at the very least a new building.

      I love, love, love the waterfall. For all the new water creatures that have been hinted at, this would be a great town to live in. It's by the water, it has flowing water within the town and it's Eco-friendly.

      I agree, it looks pretty bland from those pictures. The other worlds from the Store look by far much better and detailed.
      So unless it comes with some super impressive premium content or venues, or with some breathtaking pictures, I wouldn't be getting it (or maybe you're trying to pull a cheaper world? probably not)

      In all honesty the only thing that will make me buy it is the premium content (if it's good).

      It looks really boring......like I feel like I've seen similar worlds on the Exchange....and they are free. ^^ However, if it looks better in a few weeks because of more pictures than maybe I'll consider it.

      Hmmm... it does look bland architecturally. Cute coastal feel, but... well, I'm assuming these are simply (and deliberately) poor quality pics, because in all honesty the team has been doing a MUCH better job with both items and builds lately. We'll have to see....

      It's wonderful that the store is releasing so many beautiful worlds.

      I just have to ask though.

      So many players have asked for an urban/industrial city. Not something like Bridgeport with high rises but an inner city type world with build items like broken windows, with some buildings that look like the criminal hideouts and build items to give a gritty,industrial look.

      Is there any chance that will happen?

      I like the look of it but I'm hoping to hear more about this before I buy it and it is price dependent I did not spend £15 on 70 80 90 stuff pack so I may buy this instead

      The image looks unfinished. I think I need to learn more. I was really rooting for a New Orleans themed world. :)
