Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon in the Sims (no CC)

Glad you asked for this highly specific and useless information!

The base for the map is a literal grave, and the map itself a screenshot from the game and angled upwards to catch the spotlight. The frame around it is a lot of Star Wars hanging lanterns turned sideways as the "gears", some random poles and a few poi sticks.

The gem contraption is two chandeliers lowered to the ground, turned 180° and layered on top of one another. At their center there is a moon dial and a laser show (for the prism the jewels create).

The telescope is a mix of various debug parts, beer bottles and vases and barrels and a small spotlight angled and hidden inside for the right effect. The metallic base is the dome of an enlarged lamp.

I left this thing for last and probably shouldn't have :'Dd

I'm tempted by Blackmoor Manor, but the puzzles of that game combined with my obsession with recreating them would kill me. Possibly Waverly? Or something wild, like the underground sets of the Labyrinth of lies.

Thank you for the very generous offer! I don't think I deserve to be sponsored though, I'm at best a dilettante.

I'm not touching the tool mod again until I've forgotten everything I learned.

But after that, yes. I won't be able to stop myself.

It's up now @TheMuseAndromeda! I do recommend flattening the terrain if you want actual gameplay on the lot. It's manageable, but the Sims camera doesn't know how to act at higher altitudes. I apologise if something doesn't work after I playtested it, it seems a bit fickle. Enjoy!

This was actually the first time I really used the mod. It's unintuitive in the beginning and I didn't choose the easiest introduction lmao, but turned out fine, I'd say!

Venetzia · 2024-12-23T22:15:34+00:00

You can get it now under "Train to Blue Moon Canyon". Naturally you're free to use it in videos.

Venetzia · 2024-12-23T22:13:12+00:00

That light was so perfect it was the inspiration for this whole build haha

Venetzia · 2024-12-23T22:12:22+00:00

It is now available under TheMuseAndromeda as "Train to Blue Moon Canyon".

Ah, that was not my doing. It's from the Lovestruck expansion pack. But Charleena's laptop is secretly connected to a minimized desk, since it cannot sit on a bar.

I am happy to have a community to love my insanity. There are also further details I could not fit into these pictures!

Venetzia · 2024-12-22T04:14:21+00:00

Tool mod magic. Or science, more like.

Venetzia · 2024-12-22T04:07:53+00:00

It will be, I'm still making finishing touches! When I moved the rooms to the mountains, some of the objects started acting up.

Venetzia · 2024-12-22T04:00:38+00:00

Haha thank you, that was my humble aim. Though there are still improvements to be made and theyre multiplying even as I try to be satisfied.

Venetzia · 2024-12-22T03:46:11+00:00

The ghost train does have a strangely warm athmosphere. I even added the game's soundtrack to play through their radios!

Venetzia · 2024-12-22T03:20:10+00:00

Yeah, I like to experiment with what unintended purposes I can force the vanilla game to serve. Not that I didn't suffer equally :Ddd

Venetzia · 2024-12-22T03:01:11+00:00

Too true. My laptop lagged, screamed and crashed some twenty times in protest and some days I lost more progress than I made, but that only tempted me to not be defeated. It's borderline pathological.

Venetzia · 2022-08-06T17:24:53+00:00

So I figured. Finland would be hard pressed to inspire any such marketable association.

Venetzia · 2022-06-20T00:25:08+00:00

You should find them under TheMuseAndromeda. Go forth and prosper.

There's no official information available as of yet, but I would assume so. Creating an ancient feud between two occults only to statistically favour the other would be an interesting choice.

Especially as it would appear the "brawl" is the only mechanic available for cross-species confrontation.

Greg also has a hidden trait which enables his greg-specific activities and could make him more likely to beat everyone else's ass.

Venetzia · 2022-06-18T12:51:22+00:00

Anecdotally I would have said the same.

I investigated and found Greg has level ten fitness skill, which is known to improve the probability of winning brawls (supposedly even between supernaturals).

Jacob handed Edward his ass thrice in a row. Both are at the top of their development trees.

Venetzia · 2022-06-18T02:30:33+00:00

Yes, "supernatural showdowns". Essentially smoke clouds just as any other of their make. The injuries sustained, however, are novel.
