Sims 3 Legacy - Testing Towns - Hidden Springs

Hello again. Yes, it's the same day but I'm allowed to Sim again because I've been VERY productive. I have gone for a long walk, bought a spatula, had a lovely chat to my sister and made muffins and a meatloaf. Shut up. Let me Sim.

Hidden Springs! It's another Store world, I know. I have far too many of them. The only ones I'm missing are Sunlit Tides, Aurora Skies and Roaring Heights. I will probably end up with them too. I can't seem to help giving all my hard earned money to EA, it's a bad habit.

Hidden Springs, I am disappoint. Not with your scenery.

PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY

There is pretty much NOWHERE for me to put my legacy. Not unless I delete the town square and pop myself right in the middle, which seems twattish.

I'm sure that guy is more important.

Even the townies houses around the town centre are only 60x60 so there's no point kicking them out. The closest suitable lot I could find was way the shit out here.

It's practically Siberia.

But hey, there's a road. It's no Starlight Shores. Lets see how it goes.

Making friends with little girls. Not creepy.

I give up.

It takes forever to get into town, because it is forever away. However, when we get there...

Ladies.

He wants to tell a funny story to the blonde one, but she's too busy rocking out to that guitar. You go, girls. Mike, I don't think you're wanted here.

Just stand at the back there, that's not weird at all.

Hidden Springs doesn't seem short of potential partners, at least. But all in all, I'm not impressed. There's not enough empty lots, and the rabbitholes aren't combined. Plus, they're HUGE. The hospital and sporty place are 64x64, which is ANNOYING because those are the lots I need. MINE. And I'll need lots to place all my Late Night and Showtime venues, and there's just not enough room. It's very pretty, but I hate the way it's laid out, all curving around that mountain. I've played it before and enjoyed it, but it's not for a legacy.

Hidden Springs

Pros: 

• Very pretty. Such green, very tree.

Cons:

• Laid out in a way that makes it take a long time to get anywhere
• Only one free viable legacy lot
• Rabbitholes are not combined and take up a lot of room
• No pre-placed lots and not much room to place them (Late Night etc)
• There's some tantalising looking islands at the edges but you CAN'T GET TO THEM

Not for you.

4/10. Sorry, Hidden Springs, you are not for Mike.
