Sims 3 Store World - Dragon Valley

[Gwendy]

That's right.  The gold version costs $10 more and comes with extra simpoints.  From what was said in the video, it sounds like the extra simpoints will be just enough to buy the new venue which comes with black dragons, archery, and violins.  Guess I know what I'm going to be spending my money on this month! 

Archery and violins?! YES!!  *makes puppy dog eyes at Tia*

Archery and violins?! YES!!  *makes puppy dog eyes at Tia*

Did you think I wasn't going to?  Silly child!

[RainBeau]

Oh my gosh, no way, archery and violins in one thing? I hate to make the thread read like a broken record, but oh my gosh! That's my favourite sport and my favourite instrument all at once! Two things I have seriously wished they had in the Sims! Brave re-enactment and Joshua Bell SelfSim, here I come!

Every time I think of archery I remember two different cats where one almost lost one of it lives and the other missed getting shot.  With one I was shooting at a target and a cat jumped out of a tree branch just as I let the arrow go.  If the cat had been a little bit lower or I had aimed a bit higher well . . .
Fortunately, all that he suffered was a scratch on his stomach and I had a nervous breakdown.
The second time (a different time) I was getting ready to pull the bowstring back and my finger slipped and let the arrow go, it skitted across the ground and right under the belly of a cat who was standing and watching us. 
One of the few "male" things that my dad let us girls do was learn how to shoot a gun and use a bow. 
But a whole week to wait! 

Anyhow, I am looking forward to getting that venue and doing the archery.  And I won't have to worry about a cat jumping out of a tree, which is a bonus.

Archery and violins?! Wow, I need that venue! I checked and the gold version will be £23 for me. Unless there's a sale on when it first launches.

I just checked out the items available and the theatre is Shakespeare's Globe theatre! There's also a lot of things that look good for building castles.

[pallyndrome]

AH AH AH AH AH! Archery, violins, AND dragons? *faints*

So glad I saved some birthday money for this!

[Janna]

Either the Shakespeare's theatre is new or I missed it.  The castle building items are really nice, I checked them out.  They would be good for those who are into building, but I don't have the extra to buy it.   

There seems to be some nice things that can be bought, wish I could buy them, but oh well, maybe later.  Want to wait and see what the IP expansion pack offers.  Is that the correct abbreviation for the Island Paradise pack? Has one not even been created yet and I am making a goof?

I am really excited about this set. I've seen some grumbling about the the baby dragons, but I think they are cute (Then again I like dragons, I collect mythical creatures with a heavy emphasis on Faeries and English style dragons , as opposed to the oriental variety). I'm also huge on Celtic knot work, so this set is an all around win. 35$ for gold comes with enough points to buy the Ren. Faire, the mini pack of items, and unlocks the black dragon ... sold. The green dragon is looking like the one that will be the most helpful to my game, the dragon plus quick grow station is going to make gardening a snap.

I'd say I hope those dragons are allowed in the challenges, but I think premium content is already not allowed to be used in them anyway.  Oh well.  If dragons can't die, a green one will make a great thing to have over several generations.

[Gwendy]

Hey, guys. Guys, guys, guys. You know what would be awesome? If you could shoot the bow off the horse. I know it's probably not going to happen, but wouldn't that just be awesome?

[folcon]

Yes, yes i would Gwendy.   If/when I get this, I am so making a Robin Hood.

[Deklitch]

Sims 3 Spamalot is coming closer and closer to reality ... and to think my Spamalot was going to be in Monte Vista ...

[Gwendy]

Yes, yes i would Gwendy.   If/when I get this, I am so making a Robin Hood.

I was thinking Link from Zelda, personally.

[shibamistress]

The more I look at this town, the more I like it.  I'm waiting impatiently til the 30th so I can get it!  I was really excited about the Island Paradise EP, but now I'm way more excited about this store world!  It's very like what I want for the fantasy worlds I've been trying to recreate so I know I'm going to enjoy it!  And dragons!  And archery!

And this means I can put Island Paradise on hold to get later in the year (and perhaps the price will be lower by the time I decide to get it!)

But what about the Dukes of Bow Renn Faire thing, where the black armoured dragon is?  Will that be available when Dragon Valley becomes available?  Is it an add on thing?  I was kind of confused about what that is, but couldn't find more information about it.

[Shirin]

From my understanding, it's premium content & venue - available at the same time, but purchased separately from the world itself.
