Give me your top ten favorite Sims 3 worlds, GO! 🌟 P.S. please ignore my chest rash towards the end of the video 😩 This is what I get for buying cheap Shein jewelry! twitter.com/acottonsock

Personally I liked that store worlds were mostly very themed and ”unique”, so it didnt feel like you were excluded from regular sims gameplay, but if you wanted a very different experience than any pack world would give you, store worlds were there for you. Kinda like a game in a game.

As a French girl, I actually love Champ-les-Sims BECAUSE there's no Eiffel tower. I was expecting them to build Paris too and I didn't see the appeal in showing France with a gigantic city. I bought the game for the other two worlds. But they actually surprised me by making a charming countryside town, and it is so lovely. I would love to play the vacation worlds as main hoods.

Lucky Palms' lore is SO good. When I first started playing it, I was confused why the houses in the low-income area look like community lots (there are ones that look like a bar, a swimming pool, a gas station, even a theatre, etc.), and then I actually took time (and you don't need a lot of time to read it lol) to read the world's lore, and apparently it used to be a small town but then there was a drought and, because of a river at the other side of the town, business moved there so all the old businesses become bankrupt and people started living in it. The whole idea about living in lots that look like community ones is so cool and really makes the world your sims live so believable.

I always say that World Adventures is one of my top tier Expansion Packs because of the worlds. They are so lush and well designed, the attention to detail and the amount of content in that pack is insane especially when you consider it was the FIRST EP for the Sims 3. Like I said, insane.

University is my absolute favorite. All townies are so PACKED with personality. They are so lovingly handcrafted, i can see that someone went all out designing them. I love making my own townies, and i really feel like my sims are surrounded by sims who are real people, real young adult students. Absolute favorite. I wish i could play University town all the time.

Moon Light Falls is my absolute favorite world bc I’m sooo in love with the occult and the world is so great for that small town drama mixed with the occult.

Monte Vista is one of the best worlds for "gameplayers" because of the traditional families, rivalry and lore. IMO this is the only world after Sunset Valley that the developers actually put an effort to create a real storyline. If you want to play with families and explore their relationships (and a pleasing aesthetic) you will probably have a good time with Monte Vista.

I would’ve loved Roaring Heights as an expansion pack which simultaneously bans all modern objects like laptops and new cars (the ones you would most likely see NPCs use). Maybe add a swing inspired radio station. The world is really lovely and has some (although little) Build/Buy objects that are on point with the roaring 20s assignment.

My favorite lore in sunset valley is you have 2 families, the Goth's and the Bachelor's, who each have a child, Mortimer and Bella. I remember in Sim's Deluxe Edition back in the year 2000, the family across the street from you would always be Mortimer and Bella Goth, who started off as a married couple. I just love how they put these characters into sunset valley as children, implying you are seeing them years before they eventually get married.

Dragon Valley is definitely for those of us who enjoy Renaissance Faires. With covid cancelling all Ren Faires, DV is how I've gotten my fix. But, I turn aging off, so I don't have to worry about fixing their clothes.

There is no better sims world than Sunset Valley! It's just pure perfection.

Aurora Skies is my favourite Sims 3 store world. It’s great for family gameplay because of the premade families, storylines and community lot attention to children and I personally think it is good to pair it with Into the future to discover descendants and connect it with the generations pack in the future, I also love to integrate the astronomy career since it’s a very northern theme with beautiful night sky and it goes great with cozy yet modern and minimalistic decor style!

Bridgeport is one of my favorites too lol!! Also, most Sims 3 worlds are set in different points in the timeline. That's why Bella is a child in Sunset Valley, but her grave can be seen in Lunar Lakes. Don also time traveled to get to Riverview which is why the Newbies are still alive.

Even though , Bridgeport is one of my favorite worlds I hate how small the apartments are because I like playing with big families

I feel like appaloosa plains slaps cause it comes with salon and tattoo & laundry etc all ready to go. I WISH late night had the same thing but it auto places the ambitions kots

God i love bridgeport so much! everything in that place is just *chef's kiss*

1. Hidden Springs (it's beautiful, the Vanderburgs, Spa is beautiful) 2. Bridgeport (because it's a nice city if you have ella charmed fix) 3. Sunset Valley (because of the families) 4. Riverview (love the layout) 5. Moonlight falls (love the houses, some townies are interesting, Tristen Van Gould) 6.Isle Paradiso ( A lot of island stuff to do with ella charmed fix it's fun to play in and relaxing) 7. Midnight Hollow (with a lighting mod the world has interesting townies!) 8. Monta Vista (because it's pretty) 9. Dragon Valley (again pretty) 10. Twinbrook (I like how many houses there are but townies are busted). Also, you should go thru the sims 3 store sets and ranked them in 2021 since people clearly are buying them still it might be helpful for those guys. But I just want to hear rants lol, a lot of the store stuff was not worth it at the time and even now.

We can't forget the ability of the sims community to just make their own worlds for the sims 3. Custom worlds are so dang beautiful!!

I personally think Midnight Hollow is the only other sims 3 world that has as much lore as sunset valley tbh which for me would make it S tier.

My fav sims 3 world is Aurora Skies. That world is so beautiful. The houses in the town area is cool and the rural area is so pretty. Also, that world is full of sugar daddies. I always hook up with Adam Birch or the Inberg daddy.

My favourite is twinbrook, im not really sure why tbh 😆 I like the louisiana/french colonial aesthetic. The swamp is also really cool and unique. But honestly i just like the layout and the different parts of the map. It has enough uniqueness to avoid being bland but not too much as to be restricting

Aurora skies fulfills my dreams of living in a small boreal neighborhood beneath the aurora borealis in a simple yet charming house, whilst giving me flashbacks to Quxxn's university LP and now I demand trial by mortal combat. Will be playing with Lucky Palms though, thanks for the recommendation

I don't know if it was mentioned, but Dragon Valley is actually just few years before The Sims 2 - in Dragon Valley you can find Burb family made of John and Jennifer (but before Lucy was born)

100% my new favouite sims 3 youtuber, theres not enough active sims 3 youtubers so this actuallt makes me so happy. Im just starting to play sims 3 so getting a few tips haha

This came out when I was trying to decide what world to pick next, bless 🙌

My first EP was Supernatural and I've spent lots of time in Moonlight Falls. It's so serene and quite easy to build houses because the world is flat. My main sims are always witches (because torturing and burning a cheater ex is fun). One of my sim had moved to many different towns and adopted 6 children (alien, plantsim, vampire, werewolf, mermaid, and fairy -- changed their occult with Nraas), before I decided to stay in Hidden Springs. I've fallen in love with that town. It has similar (but brighter) atmosphere with Moonlight Falls. While some of the public lots are too simple and plain, the houses are elegant and don't have too many clutters. The residents have interesting backstory too. I migrated my sims family along with Goth, Crumplebottom-Darling, Bachelor, and Landgraab from Sunset Valley to Hidden Springs. Another favorite town of mine is University. It's less laggy compared with other towns, so I always threw a party every weekend and invited ALL residents in university town whenever I was there. 😂 Then there's a Dragon Valley, where my sim lives her medieval life. I disabled cellphone, cars, tourists, and work outfits (no modern outfits as well) when I was playing in this town. I also removed television, video game, computer, and stereo from all households.

You do not have to "theme" the Oasis Landing Sims after they age up. All Oasis Landing Sims have to use Into the Future clothing, and the game will only use ITF clothes and hair when Sims age up or a townie has a baby. All new born Sims will also get futuristic items like jetpacks, hoverboards and holopets in their inventory automatically so that you can interact with them using those items. All new born Sims will also have level 10 advanced tech skill. So you don't really have to set up anything manually in ITF. Also I like ITF :( It is even in my top 3 favourite Sims 3 packs :( Edit: I forgot to give my rankings :) So here they are: S: Isla Paradiso, Midnight Hollow, Riverview, Roaring Heights, Dragon Valley A: Oasis Landing, Moonlight Falls, Lucky Palms, Egypt, China, Bridgeport B: Sunset Valley, France, Sims University, Lunar Lakes, Sunlit Tides, Monte Vista C: Aurora Skies, Twinbrook, Starlight Shores D: Appaloosa Plains, Barnacle Bay Don't know: Hidden Springs

I love these sims 3 videos! I'm so happy to see people still playing this game

I think Barnacle Bay is on the timeline. Don Lotharios description in Riverview implies that he time traveled back in time and some women were laughing. I think Dina and Nina pushed Don into the stream of time and also time traveled with him. They then abandoned him in Riverview and hid in Barnacle Bay. But why did they travel back in time? Were they escaping something? Why bring Don as well? Why are they hiding out on an island? So many questions lol

I feel very seen as a late night lover! Bridgeport is my favorite!! I bought the sims 3 just for the late night expansion and that's how my sims addiction started. Oh and i'd love to see an EP tier list!

not only am i obsessed with your channel, i am now obsessed with your adorable cat!

YES MOONLIGHT FALLS! God, it's my favourite town, I love the Supernatural expansion so much, it's my favourite across all Sims games and Moonlight Falls is perfect for playing with fairies and witches :)

my top 10 would be.. 1. Sunset Valley (i recently started playing in it a lot more and it such a fun world to play in especially with NRAAS story progression!) 2. Lunar Lakes (ik this world probably isn’t that popular, but it has such an interesting concept plus the sims storylines are interesting and i love that it looks!) 3. Bridgeport (i absolutely love this world, it was my go to when i first got the sims and only had the base game, late night, and high-end loft stuff. I always played in this world!) 4. Isla Paradiso (controversial choice, but it is not as bad as everyone says it is, I play in it and have a super fun time. plus the colors in this world are so beautiful and vibrant!) 5. Moonlight Falls (this world had me obsessed with supernaturals, literally! at the time i was really into shows like True Blood and Vampire Diaries, so this world was just it to me. also how many references to pop culture in this world alone was insane!) 6. Lucky Palms (this world has literally amounts of drama and layers, it’s unreal. plus the little dock area of the world was always my favorite place to live!) 7. Appaloosa Plains (this is my world for when i want to just enjoy the small town feel, especially living in one atm. It just reminds me of home and how peaceful it is.) 8. Midnight Hollow (aesthetically this world is amazing, i love the way every sim fits into this world and how certain sims stick out if they don’t feel the unique style of it!) 9. Twinbrook (the swamp feel is definitely here and that’s what I like about it, it’s something different and you wouldn’t get with any other world! plus I enjoy some of the sims here a lot, especially the Curious family.) 10. Aurora Skies (this world is nice and quaint, it has many enjoyable this! I love the hot springs, plus this world reminds me of Alaska and i very much enjoy it!)

Omg yes, I was just about to search for a video like this to choose between Hidden springs and lucky palms. You answered my prayers 🙏

moonlight falls reminds me so much of mystic falls (the vampire diaries) and i love the whole vibe of it

The Sims 3's story takes place 25 years before The Sims 1, but Store worlds are the exception. Some of them are set concurrently with The Sims 1, like Midnight Hollow (Oliver Specter and her toddler son), some years before The Sims 2 (Sunlit Tides has newly-weds Daniel and Mary-Sue before the twins were born), after The Sims 2 (Barnacle Bay) or in the distant future (Lunar Lakes). There are a lot of clues in each of these words that allows us to put them in the overall timeline of The Sims.

My Sims 3 "homes" are Riverview and Starlight Shores. I got TS3 in a bundle with Showtime so I played a lot in my early games in Starlight Shores. I never really vibed with Sunset Valley, though I've played there... it doesn't really give me a sense of place the way that Riverview and Starlight Shores do. Riverview has some of my all-time favorite sims in it, The Brokes, Don Lothario, and The Bagleys. Bridgeport frustrates me as a person that has always lived in a city. It's like a pale facsimile of city life. I'd rather play in a rural area any day.

The sims 3 was just the best ❤️

Great review! I feel the same about Sunlit tides. Every time my family go there, my head goes empty. I tend to make my family do nothing with me staring at the pink light of sunrise and sunset. 😭

Gosh I loved your channel so much. I'm subscribing right now! I really love Sims 3 and I'm so happy to know about a channel focused on this game!

I really liked Monte Vista combined with World Adventures. Building and managing a vineyard in Italy is just so much fun

yeah i agree with you except i love the tropical worlds like sunlit tides and isla paradiso so i would put them a tier

I had no idea Isla Paradiso and Sunlit tides were different places lololol. This was a stellar breakdown! Some of these worlds I had completely forgotten about. I'm a fantasy nerd and I LOVED Dragon Valley haha, but you make an excellent point about how aging up and technology clash with the world - that always bothered me too. Some of these I've still never played, but now I'm more curious.

Roaring Heights is definetly my favorite! I literally spend HOURS giving every townie a ''modern'' makeover so i don't have to worry about having to change their clothes later on. I also placed some apartment buildings from Late Night. Now it's absolutely perfect 😍

I have only just discovered your channel, but I love your Sims 3 content already

Roaring Heights is sooooooo beautiful, I'm an absolute sucker for 1920's architecture and decor, and all the houses and appartments have such unique layouts and interior design ! As a french guy, I was also very pleasantly surprised by Champs-les-Sims, I was worried it was gonna be goofy and cliché, but it's really charming. It feels like a rural village in the 70's or so x) I feel like on the contrary, if they had stuck to the super famous parisian monuments, and stuck them in something that wouldn't have looked like Paris anyway, it would have been a lot more touristy and meh.

I might be misremembering or I might’ve dreamt this up, but I seem to remember that there’s a lot of legal issues surrounding the Eiffel Tower, specifically the lights on it if I remember correctly. EA might not have been able to get the legal permission in time (or more likely refused to pay the extortionate price because they’re obsessed with getting more money and not spending anything) and had to cut it, but it does seem like a real missed opportunity.

For Twinbrook, when starting a new game I tend to delete the original fire station and replace it, seems to work a bit betters 🌷

Personally, I love theme worlds! (I always change a Sim's clothes when they age up anyway, so it doesn't bother me.) My least favorites are the big, glitzy cities: Roaring Heights, Starlight Shores, Lucky Palms, and Bridgeport. 1. Dragon Valley - I have a lot of Medieval mods because it is my favorite historical era! 2. Midnight Hollow - 100% my aesthetic, love the literary and history references in NPCs 3. Sunlit Tides - Super beautiful and I'm a volcano geek 4. Moonlight Falls - I was super obsessed with TVD when this came out . . . 5. Aurora Skies - Arguably the most beautiful world 6. Al-Simhara - I love Ancient Egypt, so this would be higher if it wasn't a vacation world 7. Hidden Springs - Good, somewhat generic forest paradise world 8. Isla Paradiso - My love of water-themed worlds and nature overcomes the lag issues 9. Monte Vista - Historical and with a drier beauty to it, great if I do not want to edit #10 on this list 10. Lucky Palms - I love the Grand Canyon-esque environment, just have to remove the big city stuff

Re: Micro-managing outfits in themed worlds; a trick I learned is you can hide clothing pieces in CAS using NRAAS mods. I think a combo of MasterController & Dresser would solve your issue! It definitely does take some time to set up but once that's done you're good to go and never have to worry about it again. You can even export the settings as tuning mods to take in and out of your game (this is what I do) for when you're playing modern worlds vs themed worlds.

I understand your point about the themed worlds, but I love the themed worlds. I just keep aging off when playing in themed worlds, and only age sims up if I feel like doing a makeover lol. That's also brings up a good purpose of the stylist career haha. With that being said, all the EA worlds are my children because I never play CC worlds. The EA worlds are great and I'm still trying to familiarize myself with all the lots, worlds, and sims available.

well done, i am getting back into the sims 3 and im thinking to start with one EP one SP and one world

this reminded me of how in love i was with connor frío in 2013, i love your channel!

Awww Leo! I loooove roaring heights because it gives me like a Miami vibe, the whole 1940s style was fun at first but I have edited the town to make it more modern. It’s taking me forever 😭

Midnight Hollow and Moonlight Falls are my favorite worlds.

Moonlight falls is the only world I never get bored of, I love it as a child and I have so much nostalgia for it

this is so interesting! as builder, it's crazy to me how much the residents of a world weigh your judgement, same with the family stuff as i'm a solo simmer who rarely adds more than a cat to my household. it's such a juxtaposition to me to hear you praising Riverview, for example, as a family simmer who enjoys the characters, as opposed to me as a builder who honestly can't STAND how IMPOSSIBLE it is to add and arrange new lots to that map! (terrain is just so frustrating, god forbid you want to add an additional 64x64 lot connected to a road modless). As a builder i LOVE the themed worlds! It's such a fun opportunity to make themed lots! you best believe i'm filling Midnight Hollow with haunted houses and graveyards, Lucky Palms with bars and casinos, Aurora Skies with observatories and hotspring resorts, when i just don't care who the townies are or what they look like. i like my sim to have her own adventures without them basically, the most she'll interact with them is if her job requires her to befriend them or if an opportunity needs her to be friendly enough with them to accept an interaction.(Al Simhara is my LEAST favourite world adventure map for this reason). speaking of; my top 10 would have to be 1. Hidden Springs 2. Moonlight Falls 3. Appaloosa Plains 4. Dragon Valley 5. Aurora Skies 6. Champs Les Sims(?) 7. Starlight Shores 8. Bridgeport 9. Sunlit Tides 10. Oasis Landing

The "Isla" in Isla Paradiso is pronounce "ee-la". The S is silent like it is in Island (eye-land).

Its rare to see a list I disagree so much with. Just shows how great the worlds of sims 3 is! :D

Nice video. I am looking for a town where I can experience all the expansions in that world but it’s not easy. The best thing is discovering the existence of the traveler mod. Now I will have a lot of fun but don’t know exactly where my sim will be hosted in those worlds.

i think they confirmed dragon valley being in modern times? cause of the burb family being present in it

1: Bridgeport, by a huge margin. It's just an awesome city world that has its grit and its nicer parts, a really nice balance that allows you very different kinds of playthroughs. 2: Sunset Valley. Fun world that's just generally well-designed. Really cool lore that actually got me interested in the lives of premades, which rarely happens for me. 3: Moonlight Falls: The Twilight references are kind of dated now but still, it has a really nice atmosphere to it that I really love. Helps that I'm big into the Paranormal genre though. 4: Appaloosa Plains: Just a really pretty small rural feel to it that is so very pleasant to play in. 5: Riverview: Also has a really cute, quaint rural feel to it that reminds me of where I grew up. 6: Isla Paradiso: Despite the issues with running, it's a super gorgeous and well-designed world that deserves some praise. Gonna leave it at 6 because I don't have strong enough feelings on the other worlds, these are the ones I mostly stuck to, along with modded ones like Anne Arbor.

moonlight falls is my comfort world 🥺💕

Best world rank so far, thank you for your job

about the timeline. Sunset Valley is set before TS2. however different worlds take place at different places in the timeline. Lunar Lakes takes place waaay after TS2 considering that's where Bella is buried. Also Sunlit Tides is at a weird place its definitely before TS2 but after TS1. And dragon valley its even weirder. Looks like it take place in the 1400 yet it takes place few years(more like a decade) after Sunlit Tides. The timeline jumps a lot so no wondering why they decided to ditch it in TS4. Which i kind of like, give us new stories but they had include iconic sims and ruin them

Also yes, Lucky Palms! Funny that i also played my best legacy on this town! Also hi, I'm your new fan :D

Monte Vista is SO pretty I will say. But for some reason, at least to me, it feels a bit lonely/isolated?? 😭 A lot of the public lots barely have sims whenever I play there. It's the only town that I have on my game where I'm genuinely like "Am I the only one here?? 😃"

my main grudge against Roaring Heights is how weird and not planned out the "appartments" are in the downtown just first floor with the "decoration" bock at the top to fit the style which ALSO adds up to the price of the lot despise nothing really being placed there. also most of the public lots are empty as hell its all just whacky. but the vibe is cool

My favourite is Bridgeport and Isla Paradiso, I like Monlight Falls too

Just found ur chanel. Love it! U give great vibez ^^

Loading Appaloosa Plains. It’s one of my favorite worlds. In Sims 4 I play in Brindleton Bay because it reminds me of Appaloosa Plains

Sunset Valley is always my go-to world!

I don't think I can do a top-10, but I'll try :) 1. Moonlight Falls 🧚❤️❤️❤️ 2. Sunlit Tides! Everything you said about it is valid, but i played a lot in it with supernaturals again and had a while storyline and it was so fun, also I love the sea so it's perfect. 3. Isla Paradiso. She's glitchy as hell, but so pretty. So much water! 4. The France one (i won't spell it right) - it has music from Sims Making Magic and that music is the best thing in the world. 5. Oasis Springs, is that what it's called? I like the hills :) 6. Aurora Skies - i love the fjords! Very atmospheric, also such a cute tight knit town. 6. Lucky Palms, great legacy memories :) 7. Twinbrook! I went there on vacation once with a sim that lived in Dunlit Tides and my friends made fun of me :D i like the swampy areas. Also, in sorry for the million comments - when i watch and wanna comment something i need to do it immediately or I'll forget by the end of the video :D

Moonlight falls name is based off of Mystic Falls from the vampire diaries. Another reference to the show is the founding families of the town, the Van Gould’s and the Wolffs argue who founded the town, just like how the Salvatore family and the Lockwoods argue the same point in the show.

Try this drinking game, everytime she says "dont crucify me", take a shot.

Just found your channel, so this is a little late. 1. Sunset Valley 2. Lucky Palms 3. Appaloosa Plains 4. Riverview 5. Shang SimLa 6. Champs Les Sims (for the nectar making) 7. Moonlight Falls 8. Oasis Landing I played a legacy where the second gen's son made his imaginary friend come to life. I moved them to Moonlight Hollow, which was so creepy but appropriate for them. The mom made an alien bff. It is definitely a weird world and the lighting is so dark it's hard to really see. I also really like Oasis Landing because there is so much to do and explore. I guess I use it like a vacation world. After seeing you extol Bridgeport, I'll have to try it again. Thanks for a great video!

Would love for you too do this but with the sims 3 packs instead!

Lags in Isla Paradiso? *Delete the Scott Family*

Families actually do adopt pets with the regular story progression. In moonlight falls there's always a few.

just found you and DEF subbing!!!!

I would quite literally sell my SOUL for sunlit tides. Would do anything 2 live on those lil sand roads

U can edit tier maker with the lil settings icon to the right

i Love Into the future just for the holograms hoverboards and the content i love Riverview

Monte Vista reminds me of new moon and the Volturi

my favorite world is Starlight Shores. i Always play Rich Richmond from the Dueling Singers household. i take him from Sadie Mason and Mercedes May and marry him off to my female sim. i also love Billy Caspian of Riverview. he is very handsome when you change his hair and his traits also.

For me Bridgeport is number 1. It's basically Bridgeport and everything else 😄 i love it too much!

For me S Tier Sunset Valley ( only because the lore ) , Aurora Skies ( love Scandinavia ) , Bridgeport ( i like big cities ) and Lucky Palms

William Fangman. My favorite in Sims 3 in gerneral. :D

Sims 3 is my favourite sims game

7:46 love this, too cute ❤

I treat Roaring Heights like something akin to Miami, which is why I ignore the clothing theme.

As much as I want to love Bridgeport, some of the weird pathing and glitching gets to me. I wish more worlds had stuff like subway systems and thriving downtowns.

Literally just started a new save in strawberry Acer's now I want to move my witch to moonlight falls 🤦🏻‍♀️

Nraas dresser saves everything when it comes to themed worlds

[Off-topic, but nice nails, Madi.] Outside The Sims (1) I have only played Sunset Valley, although I bought LN as part of the starter pack. Looks like I have been missing out. The martial arts give you a bonus against burglars, apparently, so Adventures may be one to get. But I am still far from getting bored with SV. And how old is this game now? 🙂

i love lucky palms it gives me @lifesimmer nostalgia and my childhood favourite ❤️

I fully agree with Lucky Palms!!! LOVE IT!!!

Question...in which version are many sims in the nightclub?😅 Rt every time I go in to a club in bridgeport...no one is there XD

Isla Paradiso is absolutely my favorite map (in concept). I would bump it up to B tier but yeah... sadly, you cant ignore the fact its got a lot of issues. This map was absolutely not finished and not patched and never will be. It glitches, it lags, it crashes. Ive gotten most of this fixed on my own game, but Ive heard a lot of people just flat-out cant play it. I love the world, the theme, the house boats and merpeople! but yeah I'd be lying if I said that map didnt cause me to pull my hair out a few times.
