I started working on this world a year ago. It is based on the actual city of Venice. I'm trying to make it resemble the real place as much as possible. The world is completely road-less and transportation is based on water so you must have Island Paradise installed in order to play. I went ahead and started building many important landmarks. I still haven't built houses or done any landscaping at all. I'm not good at using CAW so making a world with many canals and bridges is no easy task. Without further ado, I present you Venezia.
Map of the world. Still quite empty. A city like Venice is very dense so I will probably use some decor buildings for some lots to make sure the world is playable.
I wanted to say "speechless" but I think it's closer to I have so MUCH I could say that I don't even know where to begin! This is amazing! "Ah, Venice!"
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind
The Venice themed world looks so very, very nice! You have recreated in simform the buildings so very well! It will be such a very special world for sims to live in! It looks so very great!
What a beautiful world! I particularly like the attention to detail you've given to all of the buildings. When I first saw the pictures, I thought you were showing pictures of the real city that you were using for inspiration, and then I realized that they were of your world. It's just wonderful!
Stunning so far. It would be awesome if it was possible to build without CC, however I can certainly admire from afar. Looking forward to seeing more screenshots as you progress

@soocoolsim@MiaSkywalker thank you for the kind words. When I started this project, I knew it would have been impossible to replicate Venice on the Sims 3 and without using CC.
WOW. This is so amazing and beautiful! I will definitely be downloading this when it's finished. It looks so real... it's beyond words! Will you be adding lots of gorgeous houses to the town to reflect the beauty of the world?
By the gods that is stunning! I did not get to Venice when I was in Italy, but I look forward to having another piece Italy in my Sims' lives. I know how much I enjoy visiting Monte Vista when I get "homesick" for the Tuscan town of Lucca and the surrounding countryside. When I think of creating my own worlds I think of creating more compact towns. Ironically that would include a larger walled city, since there is not nearly enough real estate within the walls of Monte Vista for a true working city.
Luckily for me, I have no aversion to CC, and actually look forward to having your special content to use in building houses for both your city and Monte Vista.
@stefanistic I wish we'd hear more from you on this project. As I've said before, at least share some of what you've already worked so hard on. Pretty please?
I had not looked at the date when I posted my comment so I feel somewhat lucky that I did not realise this world creation was going on the last year and be waiting for it-) so hopefully I won't have as long to wait now it's 2018 Oh and I have downloaded several of your lots the first one getting some use is going to be the tiny cake house which will be placed in my fairy/elf area of rflong7's new supernatural world and when I go back into game I will come back with a screenshot
