EUREKA VALLEY - NEW Q&A …

Surprisingly, we received new questions related to our Sims 3 Worlds : mainly Oaksoak HollowandEureka Valley … I say “surprisingly” because usually we do not receive many ones ;) except when a new sims 4 world arrives on the market. And it is ALWAYS the same one : Are you going to do it ? So, I’m so pleased to answer different kind of questions today :) And hope my answers will be ok :D

I just discover your worlds! Is Oaksoak Hollow populated?

No. None of our worlds are populated. But we provide a save game which is a populated one with maxis based Sims. Up to you to play with or without. With NRAAS, you may populate quite easily a world.

The stories are a nice touch. Where it comes from?

Well, that’s an interesting point indeed. Our first world : Lost Cove was an almost empty world because we wanted to make something really different: Harder to survive. No roads, no comfortable house, no grocery store, and so on … We imagined a full story around such as a post apocalyptic situation. Our story tellings begin with Lost Cove and because I need to be motivated to make a world, I need a good story :D So we made the same with Oaksoak HollowandEureka Valley … Can’t really tell more about. Inspiration is sometimes very tiny :D

Your worlds are big. Would you mind to make smaller one?

Yes.Eureka Valley is already smaller than Oksoak Hollow. The next world should be a bit smaller than Eureka Valley … Its name is Shetland Harbour!

Do you intend to update your worlds?

Yes. The next update of Oaksoak Hollow will be mainly about community lots corrections and furniture inside residential lots. And things here and there.

Lost Cove does not really need an update since it is upon players to build/rebuild the world. And Eureka Valley will be updated later in the year.

I don’t play Sims4 anymore but I love your work! Will you convert your walls and floors?

Aaaarrrggg … Yes. I already wrote it ( do not remember in which post ) but sims 3 tools are not as cool and easy as the sims 4 ones ;) so, it will take some times. And most important, the final render is not at all the same depending of … well I don’t really know. Must learn deeper and dig again for tips.

I already did few things that are included in the CC folder I share on our website. For more, you’ll have to be patient :D

That’s all for today. By the way, I loved to answer interesting questions. And get pictures from your games. Too bad we do not receive more pictures !!! and talking about pictures … I have to redo some pictures of Eureka Valley community lots for an upcoming post.

Stay as safe as possible …

EUREKA VALLEY … Q & A AND FINAL DOWNLOAD ;)

Hello Sims 3 simmers …

Few Q & A before downloading Eureka Valley, just to be sure ;)

What is Eureka Valley about ?

As said in our 2 previous posts, Eureka Valley is a very pleasant world, more science/tech turned and a real mix of old farms and futuristic houses, ready to play into a full revamped and transformed Appaloosa Plains base … We modified terrain textures, roads and trees, downtown, lots place and situation and tried to get as close as possible of our theme.

What’s the difference between Eureka Valley and your previous worlds ?

Lost Cove was a no-roads world to build upon and to play in any way you wished. And quite post-apocalyptic oriented.

Oaksoak Hollow was a very green and quite supernatural oriented world.

Eureka Valley is different. 70 lots already made for you, and still some empty lots to fill with whatever you want ;) Very very pleasant to play, fully ready to play as it is and much Science/Tech oriented. After all, Eureka Valley is the new center of Sims spatial discovery;)

Ok … But I loved playing with pets …

Good ! Even we modified A LOTAppaloosa Plains, there are still some horses and other pets around ;) And as said above, we left some empty lots to build anything with. Have Fun !

Ok … but I don’t like a horse oriented world and always found Appaloosa Plains boring …

Good ! We modified so MUCH the world … And not boring indeed ! After all, Eureka Valley is Science and Tech oriented ;) And Mad sometimes …
Have fun !

What do I need to play Eureka Valley ?

Well … All expansions. Even it was not the case with our 2 previous worlds, you must understand we needed Into the Future to get things and stuff related to modern builds and so on. But you do not have to play Oasis Landing if you are not interested.

My game is made upon every expansion AND EA Worlds. Then I have few Store items ( not many ) and then some custom content.

Aaaaah ! Custom Content in Eureka Valley ! Eeerk …

Yes. There is a bit of custom content. Very few indeed. But there is an easy part :D Whatever is my custom content to play with, I ALWAYS BUILD with the same custom content and the listing is quite short.

- CycloneSue stuff ( @ TSR )
- ATS stuff ( @ Around the Sims 3 )
- My own CC ( @ k-hippie )
- Very few other creators ( mainly @ MTS ones such as ArmielandHudy777)

Going to provide the listing of cc used in Eureka Valley

EVERY house rebuild in Eureka Valley is CC free furnished. And because CAW encapsule the custom .sims3pack files and not the .package files, you won’t have a huge listing of cc to install ;)

In addition, I will provide my own CC I build everything with. This way, it will be easier for you if you are interested in.

And of course, we provide all the rabbit holes you need.

Is Eureka Valley populated ?

No. But we may provide a SaveGame file with population of cool Sims ;) this file should be uploaded this weekend …

When Eureka Valley will be available ?

RightNOW :) Stay tuned because we are preparing too all the files besides the world itself …

- 33 residential lots
- 37 community lots
- 20 Rabbit Holes
- 40 k-hippie build packages
- 80 k-hippie build sims3packs
- And MUCH MORE :)

If you liked Oaksoak Hollow, you’ll enjoy Eureka Valley:D

 Well … Well … Well … EUREKA VALLEY is on its way :)

Our new Eureka Valley World is finally done ans is now under testing on PC ( 32 bits ) and Mac ( both 32 bits & 64 bis versions ) so here some pictures :)

What to expect with Eureka Valley ?

As with our 2 previous worlds, Eureka Valley is a green oriented town … and in this case, a quite luxurious world. We modified terrain textures, roads and trees, downtown, lots place and situation and tried to get as close as possible of our idea.

Our idea was to get a mixed world between farming and tech and so, transformed many things to that purpose. Eureka Valley is a very pleasant world, more science turned and a real mix of old farms and futuristic houses, ready to play into a full revamped and transformed Appaloosa Plains base…and from Appaloosa Plains to Eureka Valley, from Earth to Outerworld, the new center of the Sims spatial road to the future is available to play with :)

We made 70 lots ( 38 community and 32 residential ) to fit Eureka Valley. And we will provide all the files needed to play with :) including a .save file with population for a “ready to play” game ;)

Among the lots, we made a community 3-lotd combo : Consignment Store - Geek Store - Market which is intended tp be the Center of Eureka Valley, just besides the City Hall and the Coffee Shop :)

We kept 2 residential lots and 4 community lots from Oaksoak Hollow …

- Eureka Valley Café

- Eureka Valley School

- Eureka Valley General Store ( which is now the Grocery lot too)

- Eureka Valley Outdoor Pool ( this one is present in each of our world !)

Everything else is new :)

As for Oaksoak Hollow, we’ll provide the listing of every lot with credits and if we forget someone, just tell us ;)

Stay tuned ;) Eureka Valley is coming very soon !

slava ukraini !
