Now that I've graduated and things have settled down I wanted to start playing again. Problem being, I just can't get in to Sims 4 like I did with Sims 3, and after the passing of a dear friend I'm having trouble picking up the old projects. So, here I am again, developing a new world. I just started it this week, and this is a chance to see how things progress as I build instead of doing the entire set-up from the beginning, so this could turn out really cool or absolutely horrible.
For your viewing pleasure, I've started the new world, Dragonwyck. I will be blogging about it every time I load up CAW, but I'll come here occasionally to post as well. I welcome you to follow in either place (or both!) and let me know what you think as things progress.
I welcome you all to follow my blog
here if you wish! Looking forward to seeing how many people still love TS3!

Here's a few WIP screenshots from edit-in-game:
It looks Lovely!
Will it be a large map with different island themes?
Your world is looking really beautiful ! I read your blog, particularly about the vignettes, it's a great idea. I love the thought of having world decor, like the old truck you mentioned, actually be placed there with a reason to go and look at it, rather than just "be there".

One of my challenges will be making sure I plan enough housing to fill the various career spots while having enough available Sims to fill some of the other obligations, like bartenders and such. Thankfully I'm not planning too many bars. Yes! Mwahahaha! Great seeing you too! Thank you I'm really enjoying building this way. It's like giving myself something to look forward to every few minutes! And I think it'll make gameplay much more fun since you can remember landmarks instead of just regions (like hey, the really good fish are near the dead tree!) Thanks readypost! I have work for a few days (3 shifts in a row, each 12 hours) but then I'm right back to work on the world! Thank you suzses! I'm excited to be creating again, and it's wonderful that people are still loving TS3! I look forward to your feedback as the world develops. I have released a "lite" version of worlds in the past with just the empty lots, so I may do that again with this one, but not until after I've released the full version. I really want to flesh it out fully and part of that is building the lots so it has a complete story.
For the most recent posts and information, check out my blog at https://mysims3worlds.blogspot.com/
Once again, I'm doing the initial landscaping, planning out lots, and adding interesting vignettes to the area (like the flag pole). Anything you think should be included on a military base that I may have missed?

Weird! I checked the settings and it said something about GooglePlus, so I've disabled that. You should (fingers crossed) be able to comment now. Thank you for letting me know!!

I can't wait to see more of your progress. Do you detail areas as you go along before finishing the terrain?
@SeriphinaFyie -I like to use save files for built up versions of worlds or a populated version though it would be done in a special Sims 3 folder without my usual Mods.
IMO, I don't think you need a bunch of islands to change or transition from one area to the next. Didn't you do that in your world Alleria? (Love that world so much but it's a bit too huge for my playstyle. I mean, I really love it - wish you had more of the lots included with that world because they were really awesome.)
I hope you continue with this project - you are so very talented!!!
Though I understand that blank worlds are your preference, I am not making a blank world.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes I had island transitions in that world. I'd intended to upload a complete version, with all lots constructed, but my files got corrupted. So, Lite is the only version there is. Perhaps I'll re-do the builds and upload a save file if I get antsy. I have another world, Lorewood, which I was making for a dear friend. Sadly, she passed away suddenly and I haven't been able to work on it since, but eventually I hope to upload that as well. It's a roadless midieval world.
There's only 3 islands in this one. A larger main island with the majority of the buildings and some rural spaces, the island that is all rural spaces, then the military base is kinda off on it's own to give the atmosphere of being secured from the main spaces. I'm trying to make it more cohesive than Alleria (which was a play on the idea of "all areas", hence why it was segmented.), and it will overall have a more rural feel with a little town area for the major rabbit holes.
It's so picturesque and lovely. Wonderful work.
