CAPE ALBACORE WORLD COLLABORATION - COMPLETED Feb 25/24!Hello and welcome to another builders collaboration hosted by
@Hidehi ,
@Sandraelle and me
@soocoolsim! Introducing Cape Albacore, a lovely and serene coastal town that we invite you to create with us. There are two sub-themed areas as indicated on the maps (beach and lagoon); otherwise it should have a general coastal feel similar to
Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Island in the U.S.
Builders may wish to
visit this site for coastal house plan inspiration. For Cape Albacore, we are excluding the Contemporary, Mediterranean, Modern and West Indies sub-categories listed on their site. However, the great news is that there are lots of other coastal styles and designs to choose from. 👏
Everyone can experience Cape Albacore taking shape by downloading the empty world base and installing builds as they become available. Constructive comments throughout this process are welcome so please don’t be shy. Your participation will help revive this forum. 😀
So without further ado, onto the details below and come join in the fun! ⛵️
CLAIMING & BUILDING GUIDELINES
- Take a look at the list of available lots using the “MAPS” section posts below as reference.
- Indicate you're on board for the collab and sign up for your first claim by posting on this thread with your chosen map lot reference #.
- I will update the list with your claim as well as the download / media links when completed.
- Every two weeks (approx the 1st and 15th of the month) a new claiming period starting with “Claiming Day” will begin.
- During this period; if you’re now joining the collab or have a claimed build already in progress, you can claim 1 lot.
- For ongoing builders, if all previously claimed lots are completed and link(s) submitted, you may claim up to 2 lots.
BUILDING GUIDELINES
- Download the Cape Albacore empty world base created by @Hidehi .
- Do stay with the coastal / sub-theme of the map area for your claim. You have creative freedom otherwise.
- All Expansion Packs OK for use.
- All Stuff Packs OK for use.
- All purchasable EA Store items OK for use.
- Free EA Store items OK for use. Note: Some are no longer available for download so use at your discretion.
- No third-party Custom Content allowed — please Custard Check your lots before uploading to double check. Helpful notes.
soocoolsim's Beginner's Quick Steps for Custard.
- We highly recommend play testing your lot to ensure no routing concerns and downloaders can enjoy your build as intended.
- It will be useful to world players if the Cape Albacore lot address is included in your build description on the Exchange, albeit optional.
- Do take the time to put your best foot forward to make your build(s) shine inside and out. Each will be showcased with credit in a special video walkthrough on YouTube once the world is completed.
Once your build is available on the Exchange/other site, please complete the following form and post on this thread.Completed Build Submission Form

ADDING CAPE ALBACORE TO YOUR GAME
First download the
Cape Albacore empty world base created by
@Hidehi
Then, either...
- Download and install the individual lots - see list and links in the Map Area posts below,
OR
- Install the game save file - see links and instructions below
Hi everyone! Wow, I can't believe we've completed all the lots for this Cape Albacore collaboration. That went fast and what fun it was!!
We're figuring that most people like to customize their worlds and place just the lots that they choose to have in it, however, you may wish to have a complete Cape Albacore world with every single lot pre-placed in it. If so, then you're in luck, as I have created a
world save file for you.
VERY IMPORTANT: You will first need to download and install the empty base Cape Albacore world for my world save file to work. If not installed on your computer yet, here is the
download link.
After installing an empty world, just click on
this zip file link to download the folder and place it in your “Electronic Arts/Sims 3/Saves” folder before launching your game.
Have fun in Cape Albacore!

I find the library art gallery most appealing.
Map C Lot 39 39 Swordfish Ave.
As the libraries and art galleries are the two lots I always end up revamping in any play, I would love to participate in building a coastal variety for your world.
Also, found this site for inspiration. Lots of links off to the right of the page for more.
