Hej där!
So I've been wanting to do this for a while, and have finally gotten inspiration to do it. I love my home country of Sweden; I find the scenery so beautiful and the cities so quaint and full of history. So I've decided to recreate on of my favourite cities in Sweden, Linköping, for you to enjoy.
I haven't done very much so far; As of now, I have a little bit of a highway created, as well as 2 farms and a lake. I'm planning on having the main city centred south of the lake, with lush Scandinavian forests and quaint farms/cottages surrounding it.
Although this is based on Linköping, I'm planning on adding some hints of Stockholm in the city, such as Djurgården, Stockholm Palace, Ericsson Globe, and Gamla Stan.
I'll give you a little taste of what I'm going for.
I'll try to have some pictures up of the world once I get a little more done. Until then, ha det bra.
Skål!

First Little Bit of Gamla Stan. (Should begin building within the next few days)
good luck
Ahh, I remember your world! I was looking forward to see it finished, too bad you lost the files. Stockholm is a very hard city to re-create. I was originally going to do Stockholm, but the terrain is too difficult. Plus, towns like Jönköping, Linköping, Motala, and other one's in and around lake Vättern are much nicer in my opinion.

I'm going to follow this thread!
Because you can't miss a swedish world :P
And of course, I am from Sweden
Mind you, but how do you pronounce the name..? :oops:
hihi. :P the English pronounciation would be like saying "Host-shopping", but replace the o's with "uh's". :P
lol I'm Swedish too (Umeå) lol to correct the pronounciation (OMG did i get it right?) it would be "Hoestkoeping" with the K pronounced "SH" like in "SHorts".
hehehe okay thanks!
Ser väldigt bra ut !!
Translated: Hi, I am from Sweden
Looks very good!!
lol
haha
Skål!
Lol, just i joke i thought of, as Volvo is actually chinese now, but they are still built in Gothenburg (For you who didn't know)
A guy (I think he was a Swedish Ice-Hockey player) said that Volvo is the most Swedish thing we have, it's almost as Swedish as Spaghetti. Lol that's a common gag in Sweden as nothing is swedish anymore, such as we teenagers speak Half-Swedish Half-Engish such as we say "It Failed" and "Oh my god" and we swear in english.
I'm really talking out-of-topic right now, i should shut up. :oops:
BTW Fan va najs
Nope, haven't scrapped it. I've been a little backed up with school lately and haven't been able to go on the Sims much. I'll try and get a little done and post an update within the next week.
Hahah, tackar.
