New Store World - Sunlit Tides

[ratchie]

I am a huge fan of the Austin Powers movies and I just keep imagining Doctor Evil saying "lair" but doing it with the fingers in the air quotation marks.

I've never really made my Sims become criminals but if they got to work in a awesome lair like that I might just be a little bit tempted 
All these screenshots are making me think "How fun would it be to do a Dynasty here?"

Those screenshots are just gorgeous. I can't wait to get that world. I might even have to embark on a legacy crime family...

More Screenshots

Two more from SimGuruSarah's twitter feed:


The waterfall may be a little underwhelming (her words not mine) but the rain is pretty.  (Rain comes with Seasons only)


Here's a view of the layout.  Some are routable now and some you will have to wait for swimming.



SimGuruTaterTot gave some pictures onhis blog today where he also admitted to taking a step back and letting a female tatertot take over.


Military Base I'm betting


New skirt for the local men


Nice view

Do you know the release date? I really, really want this world

[Ricalynn]

Another picture was found on Sims 3 UK's facebook page that has since been removed so I can't link to it anymore but I have the picture.




They won't reveal the release date until the live chat on wednesday.  Usually new things hit the stores on Thursday but I read somewhere the last two worlds came out on Tuesday so I'm going to say within the next week.

Cool! Thanks, Rica!

SimGuruSarah gives us a more scenic screenshot of the waterfall above.

The man-skirt won me over.

Previously leaked photo now confirmed via SimGuruSarah's latest tweet:


She says: "Do you know what the PC (premium content) in ST is?  Tomorrow look for a blog about the new premium content from designer Alan Copeland!"
I think we do - it's a mud bath!

This world looks really nice. I will probably wait until around the release of Season to get it tho.
I'm still learning Lucky Palms and going to have a new world to play in soon when Supernatural comes out. That will keep me busy for awhile.

If the PC is what is in the background I'd say it is some kind of Spa bath thing.

Daniel and Mary-Sue Pleasant are back!

Do you remember the struggling family with red-haired teenage daughters in The Sims 2?

“On the surface, Daniel and Mary-Sue Pleasant seem to have the perfect life, but is their love a flimsy façade? And can Angela and Lilith make the right choices when it comes to love?”



My how times changed! At Sunlit Tides we go back in time to see them before the busy jobs and the kids, enjoying their honeymoon! Daniel and Mary-Sue couldn’t be more happy! After a whirlwind wedding they’ve come to the island to rest, relax and enjoy their time together!

Oh no ! I'm going to miss the Live Chat tomorrow. Looks like it will be released before I get back from my vacation. I'm going to be so jealous of you guys. Thanks so much Ricalynn for all the screenshots and updates. I"m so anxious to get this new World.
