✨ Rediscover Sunset Valley with Revamped Rabbit Holes! 🌅

Classic Sunset brings the charm of the Sunset Valley Beta back to life, with a fresh touch that enhances its nostalgic essence. I’ve carefully redesigned 10 Rabbit Holes, blending functionality and aesthetics to perfectly fit this vision. Whether you’re recreating the past or reimagining your gameplay, these RABBIT HOLES are a perfect addition to your world!

Have you ever wondered what the Sunset Valley beta would have looked like if it had evolved and reached the final version of the game following its initial concept?

Well... My new project Classic Sunset, unlike #OldSunset, seeks to reimagine that, without expanding the boundaries beyond what we have already seen.

This World will be fully base game compatible and It will follow a strict optimization roadmap to ensure that it will provide extremely pleasant performance

It will be a revisit to the initial concept of Sunset Valley, honoring the roots and making small changes to the concept. Several Rabbit Holes are being revised to deliver as close to the current possibilities as possible.

Many changes are still happening, textures are not yet final, but the main approach is to nest all the visual elements to ensure that the world conveys a feeling of comfort

I hope you enjoy the new feature!! I will soon bring more information, but you can follow the development of the map in our live streams on Youtube and check out all the behind-the-scenes footage, discovering how I'm recreating this experience in The Sims 3.

Here are some more images from Classic Sunset. The dark nights and the low lighting, mostly based on lots (walls) make everything even more charming and give it that small town vibe.

I chose to light the city this way to avoid clipping the lots due to the lighting from the posts.

Lots of new constructions, just this afternoon more than 14 lots were released!! Woow

We recolored Practically all Rabbit holes until now, as well as removing some decorative elements to rebuild the beta's visuals. I'm very happy with the result. I still want to stop by the city hall, spa and cafeteria to check some finishing touches, other than that, all the other rabbit holes have been completely checked!! <3

What do you think of the result?

[boringbones]

We can say that the first construction cycle of Classic Sunset has come to an end! All the buildings present in the rendering are here (except for the commercial building from the criminal career).

Now we enter the second phase, adding new community places for the sims. Then adding details to the neighborhood such as lampposts, signs and some bushes and then finishing. If everything goes well and proceeds at the current pace, next Friday it will be ready. All in less than a month, once again. Amazing! (There is still a small stage to furnish some lots and create the families. So it may take a little longer. But I am confident well before the end of this month)

[boringbones]

More important than knowing when to start is having a deadline to finish. I set a deadline for finishing Classic Sunset in just 2 weeks. And we're here for it: WATCH HERE

Do you remember this trailer? I was looking for an alternative location for the military base and decided to place it in the region where the Alto family lives. Coincidentally or not, I felt, "This is so familiar..."

Then I remembered this trailer and thought: PERFECT! I made a few adaptations, used different plants, and the space is definitely tighter, but I’m happy with the initial result.

Don't worry, I still want to work more on this lot, but this is just a small initial result.

A brief story about this Sim. I'm playing in Classic Sunset to test and identify improvement points. While doing this, he developed a network of relationships and, every morning, would contact one of his friends by phone to network. He fell in love with the mail carrier, reached level 4 in the music career (and guitar), worked on his skills autonomously, completed opportunities he was invited to autonomously, and led a life of steady progress for two weeks. Although the house interior is empty, he lived long enough to build stories, relationships, and a sense of importance, earning enough points to get free food at restaurants—and he got hooked on fast food. It was the only place he kept going back to eat, again and again. He fished, thrived, and even refused to do some things I directed him to, simply because he didn't want to. This week, we'll be playing live in this neighborhood while we gather more improvement points to make it fabulous for you all.

By the way, it ran like butter, no stuttering, with 8 lots loaded at all times. I'm proud of the result!!

The map went through several different iterations, but I think this time I found the ideal balance between color and texture for the plants and terrain. I'm happy with the result and I was wondering which of the two you would choose and why? (I still like the first one, but I think the second one is a good improvement)

[boringbones]

We are live playing at Classic Sunset!! You are invited to join us to learn more about the world.

There's a LOT of information, trivia and facts gathered here about what I've been up to in OldSunset this month and I bet you're going to love it! By the way, PLEASE tell me in the comments what you think of all this <3 CHECK HERE

The insane part of it all is: It's just a grass that was added

however the perception of details seems to make everything sharper and deeper! The Sims 3 has extraordinary potential to generate amazing visuals!
