San Marina Now 99.99% Complete

After two plus years of development, San Marina, the latest Sims 3 world from The Sims Depot, is very nearly complete. Lots and placement of world objects are finished. What's left to do is to build households, tweak interiors and fix minor routing issues.

Working on Oceanview, Remastered


Oceanview, the first world released by The Sims Depot, has been in need of a major overhaul for some time now. The reason is that it had a few errors, was sparsely decorated, was made with the 1.63 version of Create a World and wasn't built with Island Paradise in mind. In the remastered version, players who have IP will finally be able to add houseboats and ports, and the interior of houses should be better decorated. There will also be a few extra surprises (which I don't want to spoil, naturally). Curious? You can learn more here.

Video Preview of San Marina #1: Mini Preview

As you can see, I had yet to put in spawners and some areas were still completed. Nevertheless, the world's come a long way since this preview, so there'll be a few changes in the official release. 😉

More Screenshots from San Marina, WIP

 I've been playtesting San Marina again this past week, and the world is passing with flying colors in terms of routing and lag, although it might struggle a little on low end machines. As you can see, it's also finally filling out nicely. Below are some screenshots from the latest playtesting session:
