New World Coming To The Store - Lunar Lakes

[ZapKid]

Looks pretty cool.
I see they are finally putting those fantasy trees to work.
Also does anyone notice (In RunAmokSims' link) that unfurnished building with the mountain coming through it? Looks really odd to me.

I thought the name was going to be Aurora Terra but Lunar Lakes is fine too.

Not excited about this as there will probably not be anything innovative or groundbreaking. I'll have a pass on this. Still hoping for aliens/E.T. in a future EP.

We shouldn't expect any kind of new game play from a new town.  It's only the Expansion Packs that introduce new aspects of the game.  The new towns just give us someplace different to play.  Different scenery, different Sims, sometimes new objects.  But not game play.

Thanks Pam, that's exactly how I feel about the issue. 

I might get this if it includes new world objects.  I enjoy messing around with things like that.

Since Hidden Springs and Barnacle Bay have both included extra clothes and furniture, I think it's reasonable to expect the same from Lunar Lakes. Personally I'm hoping for some cute retro-futuristic items, a bit like the space sets from The Sims 2 Pets.

Well I know I got my alarm set to get up in time for Tuesday's walkthrough.  Once I save up the cash to buy the simpoints, I'll probably get this...maybe.

I am looking forward to this world myself. I really love and enjoy playing Strangertown, so I am on board. I really love the logo and the town theme too. I love the different unrealistic themes of the worlds. It makes the game more imaginable, that way.

I realize substantial new game play doesn't come with a new world but when EA was polling the community about a name for the world they said


"What would you name this World? "Stranded on an alien world your Sims must utilize the power of science to thrive create a utopian civilization!"

The Sims 3 Russia has revealed 2 new pictures of this town. Go here and change the language to Russian to see the full thread.

Presently it doesn't excite me. Not much into aliens. One reason I didn't put Hidden springs on my new computer is that I don't like the weird skin colors. So, with this town we'll have little green sims. What does that do? You get ugly slugs for kids? Unless they add something interesting to the town that can be used elsewhere, I'll pass!

I love fantasy Sims. It makes the game more what it's about, escaping real life. I will be totally on board with this and I'm very excited about this new world. The unrealistic, fanciful themes, are my favorite thing about the Sims Series. I'm sure If I buy this, I will enjoy this as much as I enjoy Hidden Springs, Union Cove, Appaloosa Planes, and Barnacle Bay.

This town is highly up my alley, as was Hidden Springs and Barnacle Bay. Sunset Valley, is really boring and gets really old after a certain period of time to me. It doesn't have a real theme to it, or interesting situations, like Pleasantview. Riverview is great too, since it has a bit more of a theme, and more unique premade Sims with interesting more detailed storylines. I like when EA provides worlds with themes, and uniqueness.

It does look very awesome!

This world is winning me over far more than Barnacle Bay or Hidden Springs. It's partly liking having a variety of views and types of world, and partly just my inner geek I think. I agree that an alien EP would be amazing, too, but for now I'll settle for a world.

Actually those two new pictures don't do it for me. Almost put me off as I feel that EA could have done better than that, it looks a bit amateur to me, messy almost. I don't know though, I could just be being critical and it's only two areas of the place.

I hate to be negative, but I think I have to agree with you there. Hopefully the pictures were taken with a low graphics resolution or are just plain unflattering, because the terrain paint seems blocky and those luminescent rocks look like part of a mouthwash commercial. Since I really want to like this world, I guess I'll reserve my judgement until more screenshots are released.

Or it might not even eb finished yet and those could be 'This is a general idea of what it will look like' pics. Although if it is set at that as a finished project it seriously is not up to standard with the other worlds in my opinion. I'll reserve complete judgement till we know more though like you.
