Exploring Union Cove

[ArianaJade]

I need to stop looking at these threads. The more I look at pictures, the more I want it. Sadly I'm not sure my computer would handle it, and I don't want to try until I'm done with my dynasty and my challenge-in-progress.

It's a beautiful world though, all the people that worked on it are clearly amazing builders/landscapers!

I love Union Cove, and the scenary is spectacular, but for me, the best part of it is: the Sims living in it!  So awesome to see familar faces in the crowd of townies!



Here's Esther's Paige of the Haliwell Dynasty, look super lovely at the pool, which is also lovely!



And one of my Sims is removing some pesky spirits from Renesmee Dreamer's front lawn, I love this neighborhood, it looks so realistic, and beautiful!



And here's the busiest internet cafe in the world, I couldn't believe how many Sims were in there that day!  Even my own Velmoor (the townie) is chatting away at the computer.

I never knew Velmoor was so in love with hopscotch Gogowars, but I guess that's only because he never had one before to obsess over 

Playing in Union Cove, discovering it one piece at a time has been some of the most fun I've ever had with the Sims!

  This is sooo good to hear! I feel the same way, but I was afraid it might be since I'm so familiar with it. But then, most of the houses and Sims are seen in our forum, and other Sims are familiar from RL! I can't remember if I ever played this much just for fun, without any goal, just wondering around and socializing - my poor Sims didn't have many if any friends anywhere until now! After so much time I finally play casual game and it is fun! I'm so happy to hear that others are enjoying it too.

ArianaJade and Wednesday - thank you! Hope you'll enjoy it soon as much as the rest of us!

Lol, I have no idea why my Internet Cafe is so busy!  I'll have to go take a look and see if it is busy in my game too.

@samoht - It's the hoppin' place to be in my game too. So much so that all the simmies stood around tapping their toes at each other instead of just saying, "After you" and remembering their manners.  I ended up bumping out the walls a bit to accommodate the crowds.   

With this kind of popularity, you may consider franchising the Blue Fire Interwbz Cafe. I hear the folks in Hidden Springs would love an internet cafe.

Lol, that is interesting. It was just one of those Community Lots that was suggested as an idea, I made it and never expected it to be used since it was so small!

It's always packed in my games, too.

Mine too.  Strangely enough the other place that is crammed full is the horse training grounds across the street from the Grange.  The Grange might have one or two Simmies in it but at the same time, across the street, people are jamming in the jons, running around the track, WITHOUT their horses, lol, going up into the bleachers and having picnics.  They just hang out there all night and day.  There really isn't anything there for them to do that but that's where they are.

Sims and their  economical problems. Can't afford internet, or horses. . .

I've had a game going in Union Cove for 6  Sim weeks, and only now are vampires beginning to show up. So possibly the large number of families slowed the growth of vampires. Celebrities are less prevalent, too. I'm also pleased to say that the lagging quit after about 3 Sim weeks, except around the big mansions.

In my game, Sandy Claws is the food merchant at the market. I would've expected the actual consignment register but this still made me laugh.

There is a consignment register on the same lot, just a different stand.

I have a couple pictures I want to share. So you know how objects are white a lot while the textures load? Well, here's what sims look like before the textures load!


And Joe Marsden is a stylist in my Legacy.
