Hello everybody, let me start this post with my sincere apologies for all the years that I wasn't active here and all of those who were disappointed to find only dead download links.
I finally found my way back to The Sims 3 and also to this blog, just to see that there are still people commenting and looking for my creations. This is one of the reasons for this post here, as I was never happy with the way this whole project just died - I never finished working on the world, lost interest and the rest is history.
Recently, I discovered a custom world for The Sims 3 called Boroughsburg, which many of you may be familiar with. The world is a dream come true for me, as it finally gives us an atmospheric and yet playable version of NYC, having achieved many things that I could not do in the days I was still working on my own world. Fake traffic, a dense atmosphere like one would expect from a city like New York, even working subway trains, just to name some amazing details.
Still, there may be some interest in using some of the creations I made for my version of New York, namely a huge amount of deco buildings. Some of you may even be interested in trying the world itself and see what it could have been if it would have been completed. I feel sorry that I abandoned this project and also this blog, both of which I invested a lot of my time back in those days when The Sims 3 was still popular. Yet, as many are disappointed with its successor lacking an open world, there may be some reason to stick with it and give it another try. If you plan to do so, please give Boroughsburg a visit. And if you want, I will soon publish my deco-building creations here for download, hopefully not to be taken offline again.
I would also share the CAW files of the Big Apple world if somebody is interested in it. Maybe there could be some future for the world, in a different approach, like the one the creator of Boroughsburg took. A small playable area of Manhattan maybe, with a beautiful atmospheric scenery around? And of course, provide a new download link for those who want to try it out in the game - yet knowing that it is far from complete.
I wish you all the best!
Horus
