I know someone had put champs le sims as a home hood. I was wondering if this has been done with shang simla.
If not I was curious if anyone has recomendations on a oriental themed world that doesnt feel like a newer city. More villagesque like shang simla.

If nobody else takes up this project I will do the world after my current project, but you will need to wait awhile before I can start a new project.
Believe me Stw's worlds are worthy of waiting for as well, so simrealtors little oriental world can help you bide your time.
Here's a link. The Oriental world is called Pagoda Isles.

Stw402 I have seen your work and love it. I would definitely like it to be a more fleshed out homeworld with extra lots. I have all expansion packs. So I wouldn't mind a few clubs. I would not be upset with rabbitholes being placed in the city eve if you had to replace the relic, book, and general stores. But I would also like some empty lots to do my own thing.
And seeing that my sims will still be able to travel to shang simla it wouldn't bother me if you replaced the tombs with stuff to make it more neighborhoody. If that makes sense.
@Writin Thanks for the suggestion I will check it out.
I keep rereading the thread just to see the scenery again.
Stw402, whenever you get around to doing this, I would also be fine if you just wanted to make it a homeworld and not add all the rabbitholes and stuff and I could do that on my own.
This version is for testing only, it's a base world with all the sims from china, it should work, but before you jump in and play about with the world, this is not like the delux france version I uploaded it's got no edits and comes with the sims from Shang Simla holiday resort, so I would not visit this location, you will get duplicate sims. You will probable need to tweak the cummonity lots so people can go to work etc.
With tweaking the world this is what I would do, replace all dungeons with cummonity lots, delete all the sims in holiday china so you avoid duplicates should you wish to visit the dungeons, alternativly download a world and make this a vacetion spot instead, it's not that tricky to do this, I'm currently using that Setra world as a replacement egypt, I can give you instructions should you go down this path.
The best way to get the world into your game is place the world in the following location C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds
I've made the world a suburb so the world should start spawning pets, please test this if you get chance.
It will also be possible to share saved game files, if you do a lot work and edit the world to make it more playable then if you share the saved game file, I for one would love to have a play about with the world, it seems a entirly new way of playing the game.
Thanks for the work on this though. I am honored you took time out to do this. I will definitely tweak it adding the rabbitholes and try and save it to mediafire to share.
I have to go to work now. Will be trying again in 10 hours or so. I know this will work eventually
Thanks again
I will check back later when I get back from work
Not sure when I will have time to work on it. Hopefully by the weekend I will have something interesting to share.
Just did a quick test it showed up and loaded fine. I will fiddle more with it later.
Thank you so much!!
Pets are spawning as they should. 2 Wild horses got stuck on the road where they spawned and could not move. I have nrass mods and was able to do resetsim with mastercontroller to fix them. not sure if it is possible to enter the cheat normally and use "Wild Horse" as the sim name.
I am converting many of the lots.
The hidden spring tomb has become a day spa-hospital-science facility. I thought it fitting.
Dragon cave is now a vampire lounge with dragon head still there.
Halls of lost army is of course town center. with military and police.
Resolute fist is a gym.
The market tomb now has the book grocery diner and bistro under it.
The lot across form the market has the business complex, theater, and movie studio.
The big temple with the axe is a ginormus art gallery from the world "Yume no Shima.
Terra cotta army is nothing yet.
Hans old barn is now the criminal headquarters.
I wimped out on the base camp and just slapped down the huge equestrian center lot. But I am trying to do everything else custom. No premade lots.
Converted two of the houses in the palace area to the fire station and pool.
Consignment Salon library and pet store will be in the various corner towers of the city.
I am just getting everything roughed in and will do more detail work on decorating lots later.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions throw em at me. I am not the greatest builder
Just have fun with it is my best suggestion, and make your vision of what you want it to be is always best.

You just translate it:

This may help you to figure out how to open the app bundle:

This thread is ancient by now, but I just downloaded Shang Simla to live in (thank you so much for making this, Stw!) and was wondering if it works the same way for everyone:
I'm able to choose the world for a new game, but when it loads up the game thinks it's still one of the vacation worlds. (The 3 icons at the top-left in Edit Town are now only two; Shang Simla's icon is excluded because it thinks I'm already in it). Also, it tells me I need a cheat to edit lot assignments (like the dragon tomb, even though Evezan said he edited that one to be a lounge; Evezan did you have to use a cheat?)
It would be really cool if I could live in this world, edit it, but still travel to regular Shang Simla to do the Adventures at some point... is it possible?
By the way, I placed it in the "Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds" just as instructed, so I don't think this is because I put it in a vacation folder or anything.
Thank you again, hope someone can help!
Please, if anyone can help I'm desperate. I've been trying for so long.
