    What city do you think these Sims 4 maps come from?

    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    I've seen gallery Sims and Lots inspired by real places or towns. What city could be based off of Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, and/or Newcrest?

    I am NOT part of anything in EA and I'm just a player. I try my best to answer questions in the Sims forums, and showing info about the Sims, even posting answers and thoughts of feedback! I have been playing the Sims 4 for 2 years.

      New Orleans. Phoenix AZ, Boulder City NV, or Simi Valley CA. Any small midwest town like Gas City, Anderson, Frankfort, Springfield, Peoria...

      In my opinion, I feel that Oasis Springs has a Nevada feel to it (Area 51). The reason is, that if you own Get to Work, which has the Science Career. The Science Career building is set in a desert location that looks like it could be just on the outskirts of Oasis Springs. If you have played this career, eventually your sim is able to go to Sixam, an alien home planet, and interact with aliens.

      With Newcrest, not sure what town(s) it could be based on, but to me Willow Creek, Newcrest, and Magnolia Promenade (which comes with Get to Work) feel like they could all be in the same town.

      I agree that Willow Creek and Magnolia Promenade are Deep South, probably outside New Orleans. Oasis Springs and Strangerville are Southwest. I agree Nevada makes the most sense for all of the reasons listed above.

      I think Newcrest is Mid-Atlantic, not Southern, not New England (Brindleton Bay), but somewhere in between. It could also be Midwest, but I get an East coast feel from it. Maybe Delaware or Kentucky.

      The Weather Realism Overhaul mod I use tunes weather in each world to match real world locations. I adore this mod. It's staple in my game and pretty accurate in my opinion.
      Oasis Springs, Science Lab: Phoenix, Arizona

      Willow Creek, Hospital, Police Station, Magnolia Promenade: Shreveport, Louisiana

      Newcrest: Vancouver, BC

      Granite Falls: Lungern, Switzerland

      Windenburg: Rostock, Germany

      San Myshuno: Istanbul, Turkey

      Forgotten Hollow: Reykjavik, Iceland

      Brindleton Bay: Portland, Maine

      Selvadorada: Manacapuru, Brazil

      Del Sol Valley: Los Angeles, California

      Strangerville: Roswell, New Mexico

      Sulani: St.Lucia

      Glimmerbrook: Cascade Gorge, Oregon

      Britechester, Henford-on-Bagley: Oxford, UK

      Evergreen Harbor: Trieste, Italy

      Mt. Komorebi: Sapporo, Japan

      Tartosa: Palermo, Italy

      Moonwood Mill: Sinaia, Romania

      Copperdale: Ticonderoga, New York

      San Sequoia: San Francisco, California

      The Sims team has a location in mind when they create these worlds even if it's loosely based on a place. Example: It was confirmed that San Sequoia was supposed to be inspired by San Francisco, CA.

      Oasis Springs still reminds me of Mexico & Spain. ;)
      As for Willow Creek & Newcrest, they just remind me of Sunset Valley. Zzz...

      I don't see Henford as Oxford, that being a major university city. Somewhere in rural Oxfordshire or another Cotswolds county seems more fitting.

      Sulani: St.Lucia

      That's ... that's the wrong region, Sulani is very polynesian coded. Polynesia and the Caribbean are not even remotely close to each other, and though they both have tropical climate with two seasons, they're not interchangeable and don't even happen at the same dates.

      (I'm aware you're not the modder, I was just pointing it out)

      @Oldeseadogge Probably similar weather, though? which is what the mod is for

      Switzerland is an interesting choice for Granite Falls... but why not just use Granite Falls?

      (I continue to maintain that Granite Falls is the best Granite Falls)

      I always think of Oasis Springs as the outskirts of Las Vegas.
      Ooh Be Gah!! Whipna Choba-Dog? Whipna Choba-Dog!! :smiley:

      I have downloaded the mod and excited to see how it works. I have never really used mods before but I'm enjoying trying various ones out.

      One of the locations in Oasis Springs references Yuma. This can be a reference to a city, a desert or a tribe, but all three are located in Arizona.
      -No, my almost-elderly mother, I don't think it's a good time for you to try for a baby.
      -Yes, person I barely know, you have my blessing to hang out with Johnny Zest.
      -No person with the mean, hot-headed and self-absorbed traits, I don't think you should get married.

      I think Copperdale is lower Appalachia. Mining is prominent in that region. Also Ash Harjo used y'all in the advertisements. Don't think that's New York.

      I'm amused at your words, regarding Newcrest. I use that for the Settlements in the 18th century, that ultimately became East Tennessee. It's so non-descript, I would be hard-pressed to assign an actual location for it. But, we all have our own ideas on the matter. :)

      Yes, that's the awesome thing about it.

      San Myshuno is Japan
      Willow Creek is Louisiana
      Oasis Springs is either Arizona or Nevada
      Strangerville is either Area 51 or Roswell
      Sulani has to be Hawaii or somewhere in Polynesia
      We know San Seqouia is San Francisco
      Always thought Tartosa was Greece. If not somewhere close by
      Granite Falls is like Seattle or PNW in general
      Selvadorada is South America
      Del Sol Valley is Los Angeles
      Windenburg is in Europe somewhere
      I heard Britechester is supposed to be in England specifically, that was surprising to me
      Henford-on-Bagley gives me Ireland vibes
      Mt. Komorebi is Japan


      That’s all I remember

      Windenburg & Henford always reminded me of England, Germany, France, Ireland & Scotland.
      Tartosa reminds me of Greece & Rome.
      Sulani to me is Hawaii.
      Brindleton Bay always seems to look like Prince Edward Island & Nova Scotia, Canada.
      Copperdale, Granite Falls & Moonwood Mill reminds me of British Columbia, Canada.
      Selvadorada is like South America.

      PS: These worlds are so my favorites. <3B):p;)

      Willow Creek: As everyone else said, New Orleans

      Oasis Springs: Either Arizona or specifically Palm Springs, California

      Newcrest: I feel like despite the scenery being nondescript, there are a lot of background buildings that are reused shells from Willow Creek, so also New Orleans

      Granite Falls: Anywhere that Yellowstone covers, so maybe somewhere like Wyoming

      Magnolia Promenade: New Orleans, again

      Windenburg: Germany or maybe Switzerland

      San Myshuno: Sometimes I see people say it looks like New York, but as someone who lived in New York, I just don’t see it. San Myshuno screams West Coast to me, so I’d say it’s a San Francisco stand in

      Forgotten Hollow: Honestly, I feel like this could be anywhere. It’s just that one spooky street in the neighborhood you grew up in lol

      Brindleton Bay: Maine

      Selvadorada: Brazil

      Del Sol Valley: LA

      Strangerville: Roswell, New Mexico

      Sulani: Samoa or Hawaii

      Glimmerbrooke: Pacific Northwest USA

      Evergreen Harbor: Seattle

      Moonwood Mill: Pacific Northwest USA

      Copperdale: Rust Belt USA or Appalachian USA

      San Sequoia: San Francisco again
