Ah, finally! This and Hidden Springs are my two favorite downloadable worlds. I play here more in the real-life fall and winter months in order to escape the dreary-ness of the world outside.
When I'm bored and want an easy new save file, I move a gold digger into Hidden Springs... most sims there are rich. I've ruined the monarchy a few times now.
@@Rekowcski I always have my main sim be “hired on” to redecorate the Vanderburg mansion, but she makes it so lavish during a time of a recession (in my head) which makes the “subjects” of Hidden Springs so angry they run the royal family out of town and the house becomes a museum. Similar to Marie Antoinette xD my main sim gets off scot free, though - she was just in over her head…and becomes a celebrity of sorts. The EA version of the Vanderburg mansion is absolutely tragic when you first boot up the town.
I love this world but I've never paid attention to the townies homes. The world looks too good to stay inside and it's open world so I usually invited sims out somewhere. If I'm not mistaken this is the world where there's a tree in the roller rink at the summer festival. 😂
I'm honestly surprised with how impressed I am with the I Can Hear The Sea house 😭 idk if that's telling of my standards of EA's builds but either way I live for the house and that bathroom surprised me
In Roatan, houses are painted particular colour combinations so that they're not repeated and for postal services, as they don't use house numbers or names.
Hey Rekowcski, I was wondering if you could do a major interior revamp for the My First Vacation Home. I really like the structure of the house, but the furnishing and the type of stairs look mediocre for its whole design. Hope you could try it soon! Love your videos btw!
Haha, that kid's room in the last house could have been copied from my cousin's childhood bedroom. Only that his had three steps down instead of one und was percentage wise even bigger (smaller house). So that actually feels really realistic to me :D
I like Harmony House, it's kind of bold with colors, but refers to Rastafarianism. It has very earthy vibes too. The dining table with four chairs looks like a good place to enjoy pot with folks. It kind of resemble times, cause this movement was really popular during mid 2010's. And except for awful mainstream reggaeton songs which was haunting me down for years, this style is not offensive or overhelming, at least not in that house.
I just moved, and my bathroom and kitchen have the exact same faucet in both. As soon as I saw that, I immediately thought of you. I finally understand your annoyance.
Yes, and I have resided at many homes containing them (even the toilet and sinks), about as common as that piss yellow too. Most of the homes were built in the 1950's-1970's. Green stoves and fridges were common in those homes too, or yellows and spiced brown too, so I think the developers either got inspired by homes they lived in, or researched homes built in that time frame. I grew up on the east coast of the US, but have lived in every time zone (have moved around quite a bit). So, I have definitely experienced seeing all the baby poo poo colors all over.
one of my big pet peeves in the sims 3 builds is that one pots and pans rack above the stove. YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT YOUR CLEAN STUFF ABOVE THE STOVE, IT WILL BE COVERED IN HOT OIL.
I got every store world for free. They work just fine, as each file was once downloaded from the official store. I wouldn't want to change your mind into downloading from third parties, but if there are worlds you might want, there are safe ways to get them without spending real money or simpoints :) best regards
your reviews are funny and I have notice how much you referred to certain colors, as it does not know what it wants to be lol... crack me up, its probably a color wheel syndrome, when you cant find the exact good swatch because you keep going over it, but stop in a two much green, red or blue gradiant... I did not liked the color wheel, I much prefer good swatches, with levels for opacity etc... its much easier to tune what you want than blindly going into a circle of colors... I love the make up options in the sims 4 for that reason, easy to fine tune... I hope BB in the sims 5 would be a combination of the sims 2, sims 3 and sims 4. Each game brough something good, sims 2 was the ability to choose separately the swatches on objects, like the counter top vs counter frame etc... sims 3 was I guess the color wheel? dont let me started with the patterns because it did not go well on certain thing, for instance how the wood grain would stick to objects, etc..., the sims 4, for the good colors swatches, the load of colors swatches and textures of objects, obviously base game was rough, but they improved a lot and it is much better than any texture/pattern/base swatches than the sims 3 could afford giving us... combine these things together and you are in for a treat... although I hope the color wheel will be more like the make up for the sims 4, with levels and colors bases options, rather than the obnoxiously hard to use circle of death.
I say this with love, but you need to expand your green vocabulary. "Baby poo green" is a very drab neutral and seeing you apply it to that acidic green makes me concerned for what the babies whose diapers you've changed were being fed. Maybe do some green exposure therapy?
No wonder I always got this world confused with Isla Paradiso. Similar concept, but not as good. Whoever named these lots should be fired. Those are atrocious names!
It's the base game version I guess, which could be better depending on what you're doing. Like if want to live on an island, but play normally and not worry about scuba diving and houseboats. The names don't get any better in part 2...
sims 3 is the best
Ahh yes Sunlit Tides the lag-free version of Isla Paradiso haha
Omg best description ever!
MARY-SUE AND DANIEL PLEASANT SUNLIT TIDES SUPREMACY 👑
They are the only family i am inclined to play, but I'm sure Daniel will contribute to other households.
“the kitchen has a kitchen sink for some reason” when you meant to say bathroom sink made me chuckle lol
i noticed that after i uploaded... oh well, no editing mistakes this time, just me talking too fast haha
@@Rekowcski it adds to the charm!!

@@CarlDillynson i tend to sell the house/the take the money, so I am very much looking forward to see the choices that EA made
riverview and roaring heights are my favorite store worlds
Can I just say that "Stoplight Central" would make a great band name.
all i can imagine is a car dashboard after an accident as the album cover
I think it’s meant to resemble the “Rasta” colors? For 🍁💨 lol unless I’m just imagining things 😂
I love this world but I've never paid attention to the townies homes. The world looks too good to stay inside and it's open world so I usually invited sims out somewhere.
If I'm not mistaken this is the world where there's a tree in the roller rink at the summer festival. 😂
A tree in the roller rink haha...Such an “EA style” oversight.
I like Sunlit Tides because it's pretty but it's so damned spread-out. Sims going to community lots takes forever.
Several worlds have this problem :(, I like when all the community lots are central and then I can decide where to put or move my lot.
I’ve been waiting for this world for so long! Is the first world i paid for and my favorite
I think the beaches are more beautiful than the ones in isla paradiso
I'm honestly surprised with how impressed I am with the I Can Hear The Sea house 😭 idk if that's telling of my standards of EA's builds but either way I live for the house and that bathroom surprised me
I love decks idk why but the starter home with the decks is my favorite 😍
As someone who lives in a tropical place, all the bright colors of houses are on point 🎉
not you roasting the rasta house 🤣
In Roatan, houses are painted particular colour combinations so that they're not repeated and for postal services, as they don't use house numbers or names.
Oh thats cool! I think I will apply that when I play in this world again and fix the houses
@elvingearmasterirma7241 as I recall, it's wall colour, door and window colour, and if necessary, roof colour.
That is the coolest thing i have ever learned about house colours! IRL build challenge haha

Sunlit tides is the best (the most beautiful) world in TS3 ♥️♥️
I’m about to review part 2, I’m exited to see the rest. But the ocean views are the best out of any sims world so far
Haha, that kid's room in the last house could have been copied from my cousin's childhood bedroom. Only that his had three steps down instead of one und was percentage wise even bigger (smaller house). So that actually feels really realistic to me :D
I still feel like a giant room with a platform should still be the master bedroom hahah, oh deat

It makes more sense as a rastafarian colour scheme, but i didnt even notice that since EA already uses this colour scheme frequently haha
I just moved, and my bathroom and kitchen have the exact same faucet in both. As soon as I saw that, I immediately thought of you. I finally understand your annoyance.
Oh my goodness, how annoying is it to wash your dishes? Haha
@@Rekowcski hopefully it comes with a dishwasher too at least
@@Karin-fj3eu Nooooo. I wish.
Green is my favourite colour, but EA ruins that colour for me. I would just like to know, has anyone ever seen a green bathroom in real life?
I enjoy deep and rich greens like malachite, but EA chooses weird greens and on the wrong things haha
I swear I've seen at least one
Yes! My brothers' bathroom growing up was green tile. It was decorated in the 70s & never remodelled.
Yes, and I have resided at many homes containing them (even the toilet and sinks), about as common as that piss yellow too. Most of the homes were built in the 1950's-1970's.

"i would've called it stoplight cental" got me giggling. that was a good one
28:40 That. Literally is just the fireplace tools set. There's already actual decorative spatulas in this kitchen, why did they do that, lol?
I think it's not controversial to say Sunlit Tides is absolutely the best of the EA made worlds. It's up there with the custom worlds
Honestly super cute. Wish they had more traditional vibes tho!
It was designed by people from America so we were lucky to get 2 island worlds haha
Yayyy! I am so happy to see my favourite Sims 3 world ❤❤
I’m glad we finally made it!
Harmony House had to be those colors because it's Rastafarian colors
Now that you mentioned it, I find it familiar but can't tell it. The house didn't have a Rastafarian vibes, just plain wierd mismatch colored stuffs.
@@moch.farisdzulfiqar6123 yeeaaaah just looked like someone googled the colors and just went crazy in CAS lol
That didn't even occur to me, but that makes so much sense... but it was just random shades of red, yellow and green on every object haha
27:20 you were so real with it
America thinks they’re #1, but not when it comes to style haha
one of my big pet peeves in the sims 3 builds is that one pots and pans rack above the stove. YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT YOUR CLEAN STUFF ABOVE THE STOVE, IT WILL BE COVERED IN HOT OIL.
You're right, it should be off to the side or something! I think I'm guilty of this in sims 4 builds :( haha
Hiii Kyle! 🐈🐈
I love sunlit tides. It’s such a pretty world to play in. I like the lighting too.
Kyle stayed close by the whole episode
My day just got 100x times better
Looks like a great world. Going on sale Oct 25th for two hours. Think I'll have to pick this one up :)
Yes if you can get it on sale I recommend it! The only worlds I paid full price for were midnight hollow and lucky palms, and I don’t regret it.
I got every store world for free. They work just fine, as each file was once downloaded from the official store. I wouldn't want to change your mind into downloading from third parties, but if there are worlds you might want, there are safe ways to get them without spending real money or simpoints :) best regards
The fact I bought this world not long after it’s release and have never played in it
Hidden springs world next? Reminds me of Finland
You can vote for it on my community tab x
@@Rekowcski I’m on mobile and I can’t get community page also CZcams removed polls ages ago
I've been waiting for this!!!
Hope you enjoy!
My first vacation home should be renovated on the inside to match the contemporary vibes. I love the outside and was underwhelmed with the inside.
that is a common feeling when it comes to EA builds in the sims 3 😅

It looks really pretty
yeah
I loved this map so much 😢
Some of these are strangely suburban? Like it’s odd to me
it's EA after all
I play The Pleasant in sunliy tides, the houses are good
I’m excited to see their house next episode!
This is my favorite world!!
I hope you enjoyed the review x
I really think EA does this to make the player renovate the houses.
love this world
have you done roaring heights or riverview yet?
I’ve done both! The links to those videos are in the description of any video in the series
@@Rekowcski thank you gonna watch them :)
Also toddlers need to be bathed so ??
Harmony House/ Stoplight Central....hideous. i thought you were generous with your rating.
it was mortifying
Why do you hate multi colored tiles so much in bathrooms? Also, wearing a tank top cause you were judging sunny shores? Cute ;)
I've noticed a correlation between increased viewership and minimal clothing

The names don't get any better in part 2...
Also different sea?
Yeah... Sunlit Tides is my favorite world in terms of looks, but the houses are a little bit boring and uninspired.
I prefer the sand and views here, but perhaps it's best to just place your own lot down.
I want you to judge Sims 2 houses. They are, even for a game released in 2004, usually better than Sims 3...
Maybe one day soon..
