New Store World: Monte Vista

[Sunnysabjes]

Within a sims week I had an overdose of vampires and that was just a quick scan. I also say give it some time. Before you know it you'll be wishing for less occults

I must say that I've been very impressed with Monte Vista...
Picked up both Monte Vista and the Al Fresco Market on release date, but didn't get to actually play them till this last weekend.  I think it might be in my top two favorite sim worlds (only behind Lunar Lakes), EA did a great job on the world.  It's simply beautiful and I love the style to the rabbitholes and the pizza oven is a great item, plus the sims in this town all have really nice genetics from what I've seen too. 

It seems that the store worlds have come a long way from Barnacle Bay, each world just seems to be getting better and better, I just wish they would slow down so I have time to catch up on my wishlist before another world comes out! LOL

Hugz,

Be careful what house you chose to live in. Those houses with big open courtyards, mean your sims will have to change into outwear, or use an umbrella, to cross over to another part of the house. The sims also take the faster route to go somewhere.

However, I agree the town is beautiful. Waiting for the time to build some Tuscany houses, or find some to download if I get tooo lazy.

Pity you have to cook your own pizza at the pizzeria!

I think it's great that you have an open public place, the pizzeria, as it makes the perfect place for a date. Some pizza, some slow dancing, what more could you ask for?

There is no pond in the Monte Vista graveyard... does anyone know of another location to catch deathfish?

I just used the "buydebug" cheat and placed Death Fish spawners in the large fishing area. I haven't caught one yet, but my sim is still at level 6 in fishing.

Hope that helps!

It's times like these I really wish I lived in the States and earned dollars....
This world looks absolutely gorgeous!

I started an Immortal Dynasty there... no spawner placement for me

If you have Pets, you can get a cat and have them fish. They can get deathfish without deathfish spawners.

Though if they forgot to put deathfish spawners in, wow, that's a pretty big oversight.

Hmm may have to try this then. As much as I dont particularly want a pet in the family at the moment. Earlier is better I suppose. Thanks for the tip.

This got me curious so I went searching with a collection helper, finally found them near the lighthouse.



No fishing spot showed up there during the day, it just appeared at night.

Excellent!!! Thank you so much!

Anyone found pink diamonds in Monte Vista yet? Only way I could find 'em was by spawning an epic spawner in manually.

I took a couple of screenshots of Monte Vista in winter. I think it is really a beautiful town that suits all the seasons quite well.

I just finally bought it! I am so excited! I can't wait to check everything out!

EDIT: I have been unable to download and install the festival lot. I don't know why. Has anyone else had this problem?
