I didn’t care about anything else in Midnight Hollow for activities I wanted to check out the toy store immediately. I am hoping to see it as a full-scale skill in Sims 4, too!The first two things I did: I bought the toy store and hired a clerk. I promise, I will do that for a future article, just so I can get a pic of them as a ghost hunter ?-TOYS!!!As you probably just guessed, I’m someone who was looking forward to toy making coming back to Sims 3. I definitely have to applaud the effort that went into making and adding them.Sadly, I did not make the Italian plumber’s brother. The female items I looked over, played around with a bit, and ultimately made a final decision on.Overall, the CAS stuff was nice and fit the world. I found the male CAS items nice, but not to my taste. I checked out the menswear briefly, decided against remaking the genie as a male and regretting the five seconds I used in CAS to make her, and moved on to my other sim.
Note that, in the following pictures, I have changed none of the decor in ones where it suddenly got brighter compared to another shot or one wall is brighter than another, I have simply changed the color scheme back to default.-CASI had a bit of fun with CAS, though I did not do a full examination of it. I want to copy that library and place it in every town I have.
The library Normally, I add a spellbook or change a few shelves in a library. The pool I would have to add in public showers, as it has spots that are perfect places for using certain pieces of premium content, but otherwise I would not edit. The decor itself also changes a bit, becoming less dark, when moved from Midnight Hollow to another town (as can be seen with the toy store).Ī lot of the new decor options that came with the game are also quite colorful and cheery, which you can easily see if you revert some of them back to their original color scheme from the darker color scheme.Of the lots I absolutely loved, there are the library and the pool. There are a couple homes that are lit up much more than the rest, and one of the clubs is extremely colorful and well-lit. Some of the houses use internal layouts that can be seen in just about every Sims 3 town, which in turn help show off just how much customization is available with this town and the amount of work the developers put into making the decor look unique for Midnight Hollow.That is not to say Midnight Hollow is completely without its own places of light. There’s not exactly a lot of variation within the town for the most part. Even the plants follow that color scheme, though I did find the Haunted Pansies to be an improvement over the normal version. In fact, you can pretty much just copy and paste “dark, gothic, washed-out” for the description of most lots, including the houses. DecorFor the most part, the decor follows a dark, gothic, washed-out theme. Instead, make his brother and put that sim in the ghost hunter profession ?. So, alas, no making an Italian plumber with a hatred of turtles for this town. So, you can’t pull a repeat of Sunlit Tides and go into a volcano.
I made it a point to add the toy store lot to the town in the empty business lot near the town center you can see it in the town center picture.Overall, this town appears to have been primarily constructed within the valley between the mountains, with the mountains themselves serving as unroutable barriers. It is primarily within these branches that the most room exists for adding lots to the world, as the town center is quite full. The rest of the town branches off from there, with a total of five branches from the central area. There is a town center, where most of the major business resides, that acts as the primary go-to place for business and even some homes. If you’re editing a house and your camera is bouncing like Flubber in a trampoline factory, it means your camera is reacting to the mountainous terrain and you need to zoom in to get it to settle.-Town LayoutMidnight Hollow is, primarily, surrounded by mountains. Notably, the town also has a very mountainous setup, which contributes both to the gothic theme and adds lovely scenery while at the same time being fully capable of playing merry havoc with the camera when you’re trying to edit a house.
