The Five Boroughs


Because I know how much it sucks to wait for a world, here are some more pics from around the city (and this time much better quality because I didn't take them)

This time we will take a look around each borough:



 

Manhattan

















Brooklyn











The Bronx



New Jersey/Staten Island







Coming Soon...

  
Note: Queens was omitted due to lack of screenshots. However, this world does include Queens

  1. Oh, and is this entire world populated?

  2. No, it is not. For the final version, we will probably attach a save file full with Vampires Celebs, and sims to properly fit the world

  3. that's good for me because I can fill the streets with my sims:)

  4. is it compactible for the sims 3 on low settings and low memory computers?

  5. I have a 2.1 ghz (dual-core) processor and 3 gb of RAM, which is a modest to low-end computer. So, yes you should be able to run it :). We didn't want to make a world which only a select few could play because they were fortunate enough to have monster computers.

    If you still experience freezes and hiccups, it's probably because of routing issues yet unsolved in the world.

  6. Will it be compatable for macs coz EfronChris And Jamie6737 isnt bringing out the the 4 boroughs PLEASE MAKE IT A SIMS 3 PACKAGE CODE DOWNLOAD!

  7. @ Mac Anon

    What is necessary to make it Mac compatible? It will absolutely be a .sims3pack as I don't think most people are comfortable with the .world file method, but I don't know if there are other requisites to make it work?

  8. I was wondering if this is going to have districts? Like soho, tribeca, or financial districts?

    1. Mmmm, only somewhat. For example, you'll see the difference moving from midtown to the Financial District. But, Manhattan isn't big enough to fit SoHo and Tribeca, we did a nod but we couldn't fit much else.

    2. Ok, I was also wondering if there's a central park? I love your city so much! When your done with new York, what will you do next?

  9. Central Park is there, right where it should be, in the heart of Manhattan. It's not as polished as I'd like yet but hopefully we can get to that.

    What will I do next? Nothing. Ever! lol, no seriously though, this world project stuff is a bitch. I can't imagine if this were a world I didn't love as much as New York. I think Manu has said much the same and HappyJme will probably continue making awesome builds.

  10. Great work, thanks for that! I tried something like this for sims2 but it never was such a huge project as this one. But i guess it is not possible that only Manhattan is downloadable as a world itself? I am really afraid, that my computer can´t handle all of it ;)

    1. I don't know your specs but I have a very average PC. This isn't like Los Aniegos or London where you need a super-computer just to play it. We made it with low-end specs in mind, we have low-spec PC's ourselves.

      Try it out and let me know how it goes. There are others working on Manhattan worlds (check out YouTube). But to be honest, there projects look more daunting and computer intensive than ours

  11. Ok. How big is this exactly? And what would it be like if I didnt have late night? Is there a Macys? How much CC is in it? How many lots? I can see the statue of Liberty from the pics,but what about Ellis? And is there the Met and stuff? What about the NY holocaust museum? It should have a very good veiw of the harbor. Can you go inside The empire state building? And finally, When will this be finished? I need enough time to save up for Late night. And how would you get the Subways? Oh, here I go again. I'll let you just finish the ones i've already asked...

  12. it's made on the biggest map. I don't know how many lots exactly, but more than 200. I doubt that it would even load without Late Night. There is no Macy's. The CC consists of three compressed .package files, optimizing performance. I don't believe Ellis Island is any longer a part of the world. The Met is in the world but the holocaust museum isn't. Cannot go inside the Empire State. And lastly, I have no idea when it will be finished. I'm not sure how you mean about the subways. Late Night comes with a rabbithole tram system.

  13. How many residential lots are there in the world?
