it’s looking so good 😍😍😍 it’s honestly so cool to see this side of sims.. i’m way too intimidated to get into this type of thing but you’re executing it SO well
As a NW local, I recommend ferns and rocks everywhere for the understory around the world. not big rocks, but small ones. and pepper in some debug mushrooms to really make it come alive. also stumps and fallen logs from the wearwolves debug items. basically all wearwolves debug will be your friend 😆 have fun, and I'm excited to see my corner of the world come to life
@wolfxdreamer6860 i second that about the landscaping, for most places it looks like the forest was cut away just enough to make space for the houses. When i lived there there were several houses on our street that were odd colors and very bright. That was in Everett washington
@@wolfxdreamer6860 one other thing that may really help as you fill the world is the creat a few rooms with the landscaping objects clustered how youd like. Then you can repeat those throughout, rotating them so they look a little different. It will really help to fill the spaces further to the edge of the map and you wont have to find the objects everytime and individually place them.
i grew up in the PNW (specifically washington) and that house you built looks almost exactly like one that i would pass by on my way to the bus stop as a kid, you absolutely nailed this
While I don’t live in America, I do live in a place surrounded by trees. They generally are pretty close together so there’s only about a two or one person gap in between the trunks. The ground is then filled with twigs, bushes, rocks, and unkept grass. I myself have been doing a save based on Australia where I live with Strangerville and Chestnut Ridge as the main worlds.
Oh cool! I really like both those worlds, that sounds like it’ll be awesome! And yes, I for sure have to go back in and add some more foliage to the ground and add more trees!
I'm so glad your followers are growing. Told you before you are up there with florwal and deserve all the recognition you are getting. Can't wait to see where the sf goes. ♡
@wolfxdreamer6860 same!!!! I was making some teens today, still working on them. I had this idea that they would be a part of a group home or like a foster care home. I haven't uploaded them yet but I wasn't even sure if you had a chance to see other ones I uploaded. I have to fix all the descriptions of the previous ones.
I was working so HARD on a project like this (also inspiring by folkling!). I really hope these mods and making custom worlds/saves like these becomes more popular. It is so so much work for one person, but so worth it!
Im so impressed by your work! Willow Creek is shining in a brandnew light. It’s feeling like a whole another world and it’s exactly the vibes i LOVE. Thank you for making this happen! You’re incredibly talented. Can’t wait for this savefile 😭
This is insane! I’m shocked by your love of little details. Love your work so much, you deserve all the new people on your page. Can’t wait to play with this savefile. It’s going to be perfect!!
just found your channel, and i'm really loving these builds!! as a person from the PNW myself, i really hope you include some of the area's unique indigenous history - a lot of indigenous groups in washington (the suquamish for example) have very unique stories compared to the stereotypical story of native americans in the US, and are incredibly vibrant & thriving communities still!
@@wowsirs5992 hey!! I’m so happy you’re enjoying the videos! I actually do have a family or two integrated to the lord I have written out that are native. Do you have any recommendations on research I should do to learn more about the specific tribes of the area? It’s the family I’m most excited to create actually lol
I absolutely love how it’s looking! I didn’t know until recently that Willow Creek was based on New Orleans (cause nothing about it reminds me of New Orleans…I mean, it snows in Willow Creek.) As a former Bay Area resident who loved going up the coast in NorCal, I’m so excited about this! I love the look of a woodsy setting (like the island in Windenburg or Granite Falls (why won’t they let us live there full time?) and as someone who can’t build to save my life, I’m so grateful for people like you who share your ideas and creativity with the whole community!
@@wolfxdreamer6860 I’m surprised someone hasn’t made a mod for that (maybe someone has, idk?) The world so far reminds me of the smaller towns going up into the Sierras on the way to Tahoe (from Sacramento,) when you’re around the 2500-3500 ft level, with the snow capped mountains in the distance. Also reminds me of Trinidad, CA, a town on the ocean near the Redwood National Forest. Absolutely beautiful there with the redwoods, the cedar smell, the grey rocks, everything so green it’s amazing. Basically, it looks like where the Ewoks live (which makes sense, since they filmed Ewok world in the Redwoods in Marin, I think. Great town for some cute little Easter egg items like bright red mushrooms, fireflies, gnomes being in funny, unexpected places…sigh. I miss it there!
We have three worlds that (supposedly) follow the New Orleans theme; Willow Creek, Newcrest and Magnolia Promenade. I know some people are unhappy with American worlds but so much of the USA is still under-represented; especially the PNW and the Midwest. The few worlds that touch upon the PNW are either vacation restricted or tiny Stuff like this really fills the gap for me. This world looks gorgeous and so moody and homey.
You made me fall in love with the sims again. Your saves look like what I always wanted. You’ve inspired me to create my lil PNW dream town so I can pretend I don’t live in Texas.
I probably will never download a save-file to my game, because I have limited time to play due to issues with my spine - but it is so very satisfying to watch you build this world. You are so creative and it's a massive project; you are very talented and I really love the look of it! Looking forward to more! ❤
I’m so sorry to hear that! Thank you for your kind words, and I’m so happy that people are enjoying following along. I really enjoy sharing the process with you all ☺️ All the best to you 💖
So excited to see the lore! I love how I just yesterday learned what pnw is after watching sillee stream his lore creation in pnw themed save. I actually really love the pnw vibes now that I have learned about that part of the usa :D Please don't restrict the packs you use, I want to see it all used
I am super close to falling into a rabbithole about usa geographic areas and their architecture, history, culture and differeces. Like how do things look like in New England compared to pnw or some area in midwest like great lakes or like the really deserty area with Arizona and New Mexico. I'm lowkey having crisis about finding all of this interesting after completely bashing on usa cities for their bad design (car centricity, suburbia, lack of public infrastructure)
Haha dive into that rabbit hole! It’s super interesting how all the regions of the US are so different in style depending on climate and also historic influence. PNW vibes have always been my favorite, it just speaks to my soul lol I will definitely not be restricting packs! I don’t think I could make something very deep or complex without using everything the game has to offer! 💖
Love this! If you want to use TOOL in build mode I figured out a way to roam around freely from the lot. Simply got into the Camera.ini file in the games bin/res folder, use control f and type in lotradiusmultiplier. There should be 2, one under simple (sims 4 camera) and another under advanced (sims 3 camera). Change this value to a larger number, and you can move around the lot freely. I personally set it any number from 6-10. Hope this helps.
this is so cool!! i remember when sims 4 first came out, I wondered how long it would be until people could do stuff like this (like the sims 3 editor lol, miss that)… but this is awesome! i can’t imagine how long this takes though lol
You inspired me to do the same. I'm not from North America, but I looove the visual of Life is Strange (and Tell Me Why!!!). But omg it takes patience to put trees and all details all around the world. At least it gave me a new objective while playing sims and the world feels more like my own save. Thanks for making the previous video and showing us we could use these mods to get rid of all decor! ❤
Aw that’s awesome! I’m glad I was able to bring all these cool mods to you guys! It really is a lot of work lol but it def made me more excited to get on and play because I feel like I have something real to do now lol
Hello I am a new subscriber. Am I absolutely love your build? I’ve been playing the Sims since 2000. The only thing I would ask as I am slightly vision impaired is that the black interface makes it almost impossible for me to see the objects if you would consider changing back to either a white one or the original one that would make my day! Thank you.❤🎉
Love what you are doing here. As far as making the background look less uniform, are there stump assets? It would make sense that the trees are spread out a bit if it looks like the area has been logged some time in the past; a stump here or there and some brush clustered around - especially near water - would keep it looking more natural. Then have a few areas where the trees are dense to show that logging hasn't occurred in that area.
@@wolfxdreamer6860 i just have one question, how do you get the circle background thingies for the enviroment? Instead of just a blue sky...? Ive looked everywhere for it lol.
Aww I hope that’s not the case! It shouldn’t be too heavy on your pc tbh. I’m not gonna go heavy on the CC, and the mod that removes the world objects is just one package file that you can easily remove!
Thanks so much!! I use my roadtrip preset pretty much at all times. I just toggle different settings on or off depending on if I’m recording or taking screen shots 🙂 (you can get it on my patreon, it’s free)
2:20 First I’m so sad the lots can’t be used like ugh SIMS TEAM PLEASE MORE LOTS Second as a suggestion but maybe use debug fences around the umsäble house lots? :) And if you haven’t already maybe do a camping area (also little campers kit does have the outdoor theatre too) And picnic tables? Perhaps in the woods in the background you could add a trailer like it’s for camping, though only if it looks good haha.
Also, sorry for the long comment, check Cepzid creation they have so much good fun things! Like a toddler bowling alley and archery. And I forgot the creator name but it’s called “slide into your mods” it’s a functional slide for parks and there’s a recolour. And just look up “sims 4 climbable tree” curseforge
omg this is exactly what I've been craving for willowcreek! i'm new to ts4 and only have bg and yesterday when i zoomed out of the neighbourhood i was shook once again how fcking UGLY everything is... i wanna try this too & install tool mod etc but this is even better!!! GODSEND!!!!!
Thank you!! I don’t know if I’d make a video on the best pc for the sims, since I wouldn’t really know, as long as it’s over the minimum requirements rly. But I can give you my spec list and tell you it runs really well on my pc! CPU AMD ryzen 7 3700x GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Motherboard Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. MPG B550 GAMING EDGE wifi RAM Corsair vengeance 32gb Storage Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB Hope that helps 💖
Very cool! This is what I am missing most, a create a world tool! I assume you used mostly the Tool mod? But how did you get the fully blank map of Willow Creek? I have been trying to turn the world that came with Get to Work into NOLA French Qtr just using Tool but even that I am slow going on, so this I know must be a lot of work! Am excited to follow along with your progress. I wish we were able to have multiple versions of worlds in the same save like Willow Creek 1, 2, 3. Sulani 1, 2, 3... Maybe one day a modder will come along with something like this. I know the Tool modder was working on a version of create a world as well.
She went over that in her last video. I think she said she's using some kinda override that hides the items. The creator is awingedllama. If I remember correctly 🤣
I’m also missing a create a world feature! Twisted mexi was doing CAW but I think it’s down at the moment cause the for rent updated messed it all up and they still haven’t been able to fix it! EA def dropped the ball by taking away CAW. But yes simventure is correct, newcrest and willow creek emptied by awingedllama to remove everything 🫶🏻
