New World Coming To The Store - Lunar Lakes

[MarianT]

On page 5 of this thread there's a list of all the townies.

Thanks! Time to stalk the rich ones!

What is the deal with Nazca Lines Park? There's nothing there except the lines. And it's not even made up of hedges or something. Same with the mine...what is there to do?

Well the Nazca Lines are huge Lines in the Nazca Desert.

Yeah. I'm just saying, it's an expanse of nothing for a sim.

Also, no junkyard...?

None of the lots that came with Ambitions, Late Night or Pets are put into Lunar Lakes.  You have to place them yourself.  I think they did this so that you could choose to make your own that match the decor if you really want to have them.

I think the actually did it so that people with only the base game would still be able to play the world. I really wish EA would come up with versions for each expansion included. For all the money we pay for these worlds, we should get something that matches all the money we've already spent buying the EPs, instead of having to make the EP specific lots ourselves.

Well if you look at Hidden Springs - it auto populates the Ambitions lots onto specific lots.  Lunar Lakes like Barnacle Bay before it also has people who automatically get celebrity stars too.

I completely agree with you though Moons.  This world is for people who only have Sims 3.   Also, I think this is a world that's concept doesn't allow for the expansions really.   There is no reason that anyone at Lunar Lakes should be able to get ops for China/Egypt/France but they do because we have the expansions installed.  That's just how Sims works unfortunately/fortunately. 

I figure just give the wonderful people of this forum time and there will be Lunar Lakes versions of all the buildings that are missing.

Oh yeah! I forgot about that. Then that really makes me wonder why EA didn't code LL to automatically add the consignment shop and such. However, I'm not sure the stars are random. Alexander Cross and his wife both have 5 celebrity stars, and he was the founder of LL. I don't think his fame was completely random, unless this is really just a coincidence in my game and not in everyone else's.

For those that use the Tree of Prosperity, does your tree ever get stuck?  It always happens to be when it has Fruit of the Mind.  Sometimes after someone has eaten it and sometimes when it's randomly changing at night, it just stops changing.  I don't know how many I've had to MOO sell.

[CreativeCrayola]

Where do you find the Tree of Prospherity?

[Ricalynn]

I find it under decor > plants.  It costs 1000 simoleons.  It's not something that's out and about in Lunar Lakes.

I haven't worked with the tree yet. I was reading on it at another board. There's been issues with the tree getting stuck there.

I'm hoping to do this soon in my dynasty. I'd like to give this town a club. What I'm noticing is these townies never hang out anywhere. I never see them group up at a park at all.

[Ricalynn]

All of my experience with the LL townies is that they're either at the pool or hanging outside one of the portals that you would normally see people.  Examples would be Bookstore, Bistro, and Hospital.  This is where I can always find people in SV and that's where I tend to find people in LL, too.

[Ricalynn]

My one true complaint about this town is that it is a lot like Bridgeport in the way that most of the homes are only 1 bedroom.   I wonder how difficult this will make things for future generations.
