There are also very few effects, she did not want any fireflies or chimney smoke or flocks of birds or anything. I did get away with a few seagulls and pigeons!

This gave me a good Sunday laugh. 
I'll give it a try next time I play TS3. I love the look of the big bridge! Thank you so much for all your work and for being kind enough to share with us, Simsample! Of course, I extend my thanks to your daughter for giving you permission to do so.

Is it populated?  Good work Simsample!!

  Nalia, you should have heard the arguments! Me: You must have an airport, or a dock... how do people get on and off the island? Daughter: I don't know, I don't really care! Me: And what about supplies, you need a farm or something to explain how they get food to the island... Daughter- They are sims! They pull food out of their arse! Me: And you need a lighthouse, otherwise ships will sail into those rocks... Daughter- ARGHHH! WILL YOU STOP IT! 

AmberIndia-

This is a MEDIUM sized UNPOPULATED world,

So much for realism! Although we should admit she has a point regarding Sims pulling things out of their arse. 
I bet she was eagerly waiting to play with your new world, so she thought the less you fiddled with it the sooner she would enjoy her new "toy".

Tell your daughter thank you for sharing and helping with the creative process. 

I like this very much!

Awesome job!!! I'm still not quite sure what the CAW files and the resources are... What folder do we put them in?

[simsample]

Hey angelcake, those are just if you want to open the world in CAW and edit it for your own use. If you just want to play it, you only need to download the Sims3Pack.

Thanks to you and your daughter for sharing this. It looks fantastic.

I have downloaded the world but before I install it and unleash sims into it I wanted to ask what rabbit holes and career buildings it has. Also, are there Ambitions lots in there somewhere (fire station, consignment store, etc - I did notice a building with a hair salon shingle!)? What about any LN venues (not so much clubs but is there a dive bar or some other LN venue)? I don't mind playing around with placing new lots but knowing in advance what is "missing" would make the job much easier.

[Figwit]

What a pretty world.  It is definitely coming home with me.  Thank you for sharing it.

[simsample]

Thanks for the great comments, everyone!

Engram, this has all rabbitholes and two buildings zoned as LN clubs.
Rabbitholes as follows:
Diner
Stadium
Hospital
School X2
Military
Movie Backlot
Science
Business
Criminal
City Hall
Bookstore
Grocery
Spa
Bistro
Theatre
Police

Zoned community lots as follows:
Consignment Store
Beauty Salon
Gym X2
Community Garden
Pool X2
Clubs X2 (one Local watering hole, one Vampire Lounge)
Fishing Spot X2
Graveyard
Parks X4
Library
Art Gallery
Fire Station
Laundrette
Beach

Most of the lots are EA, I built very few lots for this myself (the object being to make a quick world, that my daughter could gradually rebuild). There are also 5 empty lots.
I hope this helps!

[Engram]

Great Thanks. Looks like it's all there. Might have to dive in and explore later today.

Simsample - thank you for doing all the hard work and your daughter for her part in the creative process   It's hard to come by a medium unpopulated world and this is perfect!!!  I can't wait to try it out.  I love small to medium unpopulated worlds.  Don't get me wrong, I love the large ones too but I find with large worlds, my game gets a bit laggy so I prefer small to medium.  Thank you, thank you, thank you 

[simsample]

Thanks for downloading, Lisfyre- I hope you have fun with it!

[Nalia]

I tested  it, yes I did, aaaand... it's wonderful! Just the right size [- don't let anyone tell you size doesn't matter.  ]
Thank you so much, Simsample! Love you!
  *and lots of hugs*
