County!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I started building the Alpine County\u00a0in the summer of 2011 with the aim of making a world that had everything my Sims might need during their lifetime without having to move to another world. I wanted to build something that had enough variety so that as the family grew into their various life stages, they could all find somewhere nearby that suited them. Hopefully you will find a neighbourhood in Alpine County that suits your Sims \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Although there is a county in the US named Alpine County, this world is not a copy of it. It instead is a hybrid mixture of several of my favourite places, with a predominately American theme:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 <strong>Texas.<\/strong> The world uses a lot of Texan style McMansions and terrain.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 <strong>Virginia. <\/strong>The sprawling suburbs and shopping malls, although common in much of the US, were copied from my visits to Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 <strong>California.\u00a0<\/strong>The golf course and some of the shopping Malls use Californian architecture.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 <strong>Florida. <\/strong>The beaches and tropical resort have a little bit of inspiration from the Sunshine State \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 <strong>Mallorca.<\/strong> (a Spanish Island in the Mediterranean Sea). The ocean and mountains are partially influenced by this, but not enough to make it look like a European country.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>UPDATES:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0What\u2019s New?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>So since releasing the complete version I\u2019ve made a few changes. For starters, the world is\u00a0<strong>now<\/strong><strong>\u00a0populated!<\/strong>\u00a0Secondly, I tidied the forest area and added more vegetation to make it look more realistic when you use the first person camera view. I\u2019ve also reduced the amount of kiosks that require NCPs so that hopefully the world will run a bit smoother, and the bug that was stopping the house icons from appearing appears to be working now. There is also now a science center, so unless there is anything else \u2013 enjoy! (unfortunately there will never be dive lots as the water is too shallow and can\u2019t be made any deeper).<\/p>\n<p>All of the Sims families in the world are taken from EA worlds, but I have given all of them some plastic surgery to de-pudding their faces and mixed it up a bit so that they will look and behave like brand new Sims that you have never met before \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>The world, as the name suggests, is a county, and not just a town. It\u2019s split into several neighbourhoods, which are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Downtown \u2013 this is the city center where all the clubs and skyscrapers are.<\/li>\n<li>Commercial District \u2013 a sprawling suburban shopping district with giant Malls, restaurants, gyms and car parks everywhere<\/li>\n<li>Gated Community \u2013 this is an exclusive neighbourhood containing giant McMansions in secluded part of town<\/li>\n<li>Colonial Community \u2013 a cluster of middle class suburban houses<\/li>\n<li>Affordable housing \u2013 cheap houses in cosy neighbourhood<\/li>\n<li>Golf Course \u2013 A Californian themed housing development with spa and hotel facilities, and a golf course too \ud83d\ude09<\/li>\n<li>Farmland \u2013 out of town farms in a rural setting<\/li>\n<li>Large Forest &amp; Lake \u2013 self explanatory<\/li>\n<li>Abandoned village \u2013 a Victorian themed village which has been left to decay since it\u2019s residents disappeared.<\/li>\n<li>Tropical resort \u2013 away from the rest of the city is a small tropical resort by the sea.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So if you move one of your Sims to this world, he or she can grow up on a farm in the country, then move to the city as a young adult, start a family in the suburbs, get a job promotion and buy a bigger house in a gated community, go on vacation to a seaside hotel or camping by the lake in the forest, go on adventure exploring an abandoned village, divorce and move into a modern apartment nearby a huge commercial district, remarry and move to live by the sea, and then retire in a Californian style housing development on a golf course. All the while, the rest of you family can spread out across Alpine County and live their own unique lifestyle, making a big family reunion more far more interesting<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special thanks to those who helped build lots specifically designed\u00a0for Alpine County:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sims3createaworld.com\/members\/eerianna\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eerianna<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sims3createaworld.com\/members\/asongforxx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Asongforxx<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sims3createaworld.com\/members\/lil-gem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lil Gem<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sims3createaworld.com\/members\/anyay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anyay<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sims3createaworld.com\/members\/rubiin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rubiin<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sims3createaworld.com\/members\/angelicglitter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sadie Von Vanity<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sims3createaworld.com\/members\/seth_soul\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">seth_soul<\/a>,<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some of the lots in the world were taken from other worlds, so special credit to:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nilxisdesigns.blogspot.ie\/2013\/08\/suvadiva-resort-english-info.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Suva Diva by Nilxis<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/forum.thesims3.com\/jforum\/posts\/list\/295247.page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Los Aniegos by Coaterboi<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/forum.thesims3.com\/jforum\/posts\/list\/496939.page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Setra by Pyronium3<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Mariners Reach by Johnnywr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sims3createaworld.com\/mariners-reach-by-johnnywr\/\">Mariners Reach by Johnnywr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I also used a few lots from the exchange, some I downloaded a long time ago and cannot find it\u2019s original creator, but when I do I will add them to the list as they deserve credit for their awesome creations:\u00a0<span class=\"genmed\"><a href=\"http:\/\/forum.thesims3.com\/jforum\/posts\/list\/536212.page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bbordewyk<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/mypage.thesims3.com\/mypage\/estyle36\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">estyle36<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mypage.thesims3.com\/mypage\/ruthless_kk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ruthless_kk<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mypage.thesims3.com\/mypage\/susanna827\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">susanna827<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And a big thank you to all the Beta testers who helped spot any issues prior to the worlds release so hopefully you won\u2019t encounter any \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>TECH SPECS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>File size:<\/strong>\u00a0169 MB<\/p>\n<p>The world is HUGE and unfortunately will only really be playable on high end\u00a0computers, although it may work on less powerful ones with the graphics turned down.<\/p>\n<p>Requires all EPs up to Island Paradise, and for your game to be up to date.
