    Glimmerbrook is AMAZING for Builders

    in The Sims 4 Packs Discussion

    What I’m really excited about, is judging from the screenshots we’ve seen of Glimmerbrook (not the hidden world) it looks to be a simple world with water and fauna.

    Apart from the Portal itself, this world looks like a world builders have been asking for since 2014!

    There doesn’t seem to be any decor houses and the world seems pretty neutral which means builders have free capacity to build however they want without the decor houses clashing with the other builds.

    What are your thoughts builders?

    I think this is pretty much the only Sims 4 world where there aren’t any decor houses floating about except for Windenburg Island and the Residential area of Strangerville.

    I’m hoping EA will start adding at least one or two neighbourhoods per world where there aren’t so many decor houses heavily influencing what kind of builds work.

      I agree. I am excited to see the lots and their surrounding views, but it definitely looks like things are spaced out with distance between the houses.

      I may go in game to granite falls and use a lot there to build my witch's cottage.

      I'm excited as a non occult player to use it for decades challenges. I'm tired of seeing skyscrapers in the background of my 1890s farmhouses. Lol.

      Totally agree, and I also hope that there will be more neighborhoods like that in the future!

      Agree! Really want to know the lot sizes, especially the larger ones.

      YES!!! Even if my dear island in Windenburg is broken, there are random sims walking everywhere, it is still one of my favorite places to live. Just because I can make it into anything I want.

      I agree. I'm really looking forward to seeing this world up close. I've been wanting a world area that appears more rural.

      Forgotten Hollow doesn't have any random background buildings either!

      But honestly I don't really pay attention to the buildings in the background when I build; they don't influence my builds at all. It's worse when I'm actually playing there, and trying to do something historical, while the scenery is all wrong.

      Yeah, I don't know why the island would have so many random sims walking around. Kinda breaks the immersion when I'm trying to play a literal viking farm there, off the grid and everything. It's like, who are all these timetravelers? Go away.

      I might go in and edit some houses or create my own. I am really loving those stained glass windows I saw in some pictures. The build mode items are going to be gorgeous. I want to make a Gothic cathedral for my sims to get married in. The world itself looks lovely as well.

      The new pack looks great, even better than vamps B)

      Can't wait to build with it, and play :)

      Any time I get a new set I move in a sim into the place (and build a new sim in CAS) I'm more into the gothic atmosphere of Realm but I'll build a house in Glimmer and maybe a bar.
      Occultism in Sims is family-friendly and should not be watered down to cater to realism players

      I agree! Very excited! It's what I loved the most about the Sims 2 was building neighbourhoods from the ground up, and while I loved filling Newcrest, it was difficult to adapt to the surrounding builds etc and find something that didn't clash terribly! So Glimmerbrook looks great! Also excited to see what the build pack will include for the Realm of Magic pack as I'm sure there must be some fun storybook windows and doors!!!

      I’m excited I stared at the neighborhood for several minutes to determine how big two of the visible lots were
      I want to say the one on the upper right is 40x40 which is perfect for one of the builds I wanted to put there
      And the other one is hard to say. It’s probably 40x30 or 30x30

      But it does look great, and seems I can do anything with it. I just hope it doesn’t get plagued with rinks, and stalls that seasons brought.

      My typical complaint as always is just that I wish there were more lots. But it's about what I expected.

      I just hope there is one 40x30 lot I can build on. I already have my witches cottage ready to go. Can't wait for this world. I do hope it is generic so we can build whatever we want. Either way I am putting my witch cottage there if the lots are big enough.

      Yeah, I'm super curious what size lots we'll get. I'm hoping for a tiny lot hidden away somewhere. I was hoping to make a little village but I'm not sure if 5 lots will be enough. It could be if though if you can fit a couple of tiny builds on single lots. Just might be little tricky to work out household situations.

      Are there more pics out there of glimmer brook? I’ve only seen the one where it’s just all trees kind of from an aerial view and the up close pic of a waterfall. Hard to see how nice it is.

      So far, the aerial view and the glimpse of the uninhabited area with the portal you can see at the start of the trailer is all we have. I suspect we'll see more of the world in the gameplay livestream.

      Glimmerbrook is a good place to place down a campground on the one empty lot it has.

      Okay, thanks. Personally I can’t see how nice it is but i gotta admit I like how far the lots are spaced on the map. I see witches being territorial. Well I hope all 5 lots are spaced out. Looking fwd to seeing more.

      Also a retail lot, an apothecary, selling, potions and things. I have one on the island in Windenburg. Think I want to move it to Glimmer brook.
