- Only the Sims 3 would make a dragon themed fantasy world, let's see how EA executed this concept... Medieval meets suburban, still more creative than anything Sims 4 ever did.

After looking at Dragon Valley's builds, I realised that maybe The Sims 3 obsession with ugly green decoration might be based on Victorian Era. There's a booming of green toxic wallpaper back then than ever before. So, in The Sims 3 which supposed setting on 50 years before the event of The Sims 2, were the old money still around with their manor.
I figured 25 years before the sims 1 (2000) would be mid 70s which could explain the combination of greens AND yellows haha... midnight hollow is all Vic style and i was shocked at the lack of green, I usually include one arsenic wallpaper room haha
@@Rekowcski yup, arsenic is a must, you can't have a picture with dead people if everyone is healthy, am I right? Joke aside, I find it weird that they're leave the green out of Midnight Hollow, I guess they're more into hot topic Gothic and steam punk style than historical Victorian.
Btw, I noticed something about the lack of windows in Dragon Valley, maybe it's because of medieval window tax policy, then come a new era and people begin to put more window excessively some sides of their home. I guess this is too clever for EA, but it's a fun thought.
@@Rekowcski this specific world is set around 10 years before Sims 2 (2004) as it contains Jennifer Pleasant and John Burb right before they get married and have Lucy (and subsequently move to Pleasantview). Sunset Valley is set 50 years before Pleasantview from The Sims 2. I think the only store world that doesn’t contain any sims from previous games may be Hidden Springs, so its timeline could be before or after Sims 2 - but I may be mistaken. Twinbrook is set around 75 years before Sims 2 and Barnacle Bay is set around five years after Sims 2.
Sometimes I honestly think they make the houses look bad on purpose so we have to modify it to our taste instead of being too worried about ruinging or changing the original house.
Almost like how we don't want to modify cool cars but it's okay to mod non-exotics.
Haven't played this world in a good long while, but I think I remember the community lots were more interesting than the homes, particularly the RenFaire lot, if you got the deluxe or gold or whatever edition. I remember wishing that cars and cell phones were optional - it would have been fun to have a medieval type world. Sims Medieval was cute but it wasn't what I wanted. lol
Several people have mentioned the community lots, I'll have to check them out!
Instead of cars you can combine with the pets expansion and have horses and fast unicorns as transportation that would be perfect and more realistic for dragon valley
@@Rekowcski yea, you could do a whole new series just on the community lots. I tend to copy lots from one world and plop them in another, maybe do some minor tweaking. EA builds tend to have either none or very few routing issues (plenty of space around interactive objects), compared to the beautiful but impractical user made lots. Plus no issues with bad cc etc. I still need a better library for Lucky Palms. The LP one is too clunky and time consuming for the townie sims to make their way to where my sim is.
Dragon Valley is one of my favorite towns. I love its medieval fantasy aesthetic and all the new items that come with it. I play exclusively with Supernatural Sims, although I use "Custom" supernaturals aka download a ton of CC to make demon sims because we need our angel and demons. So they fit right in.
Also Gay Irish Elves is a phrase I never thought I would see but I'm glad I did.
I think this world would be perfect with supernaturals. I really liked the look of the mithril family or whatever, they’re supposed to be elves but they already looks like arch angels or something
This series is fixing my horrible building, one video at a time 😝
Me too... sometimes I look at old builds of mine and see something very “ea inspired” :( haha
I am super into fantasy and this world is right up my alley. That being said, i think this Dragon valley suffers from the fact that The Sims 3 just doesn't have the most powerful building tools not does it have the amount of objects necessary to actually go 100% for the concept. If you take Windenburg from TS4 (or almost any Sims 4 world for that matter), it does a far better job at capturing the aesthetic than The Sims 3 ever did.
I do enjoy many of the "off the grid" options in sims 4 build mode, you can make historically accurate houses, to some extent
At 4:13 :"I didn't make the flat so front" hahaha
These videos are helping me judge what worlds to play in and not, thank you :)
I’m glad, it’s helping me decide the same thing! Haha
I used to do the "one floor lamp in each corner" for my Sims rooms when I was in middle school lolol. I thought it was so slick. Now I hate floor lamps and barely use them.
Limerick is a city in Ireland, I bet EA was just sitting there, proud of making the house all green with a rainbow floor and in the shape of a shamrock (upstairs)
“They’re always after me lucky charms!” - Americans impersonating the Irish haha
The first thing i wanted to know going into this video were if there was gonna be any references or Easter eggs related to Dragon Age, in this world. Cuz I’m such a big nerd and also because it’s another EA owned franchise.
And since the sims team (at least the current day team) seem to be big fans of Mass Effect, a si-fi rpg franchise by the same developers behind Dragon Age. I had hope to see some references.
It’s cute when other studios under the same publisher are fans of each others work and flaunts it. Couldn’t tell if there were any such moments in this world. So a little let down by that. But thank you for another awesome video!
EA based half of Moonlight Falls off of Twilight , so I wouldn't be surprised lol
I feel like many of these houses were too contemporary. Like they tried to make medieval - Scottish - Irish - houses, but in some of them, typical american suburbs element break upon the surface and make it obvious, especially when it comes to floor plan and shape of a building. So it's a little bit of creative, but it still refers to same stuff as in most worlds.
I think the world would have benefited from more build/buy objects...maybe 1 or 2 castle windows? I would have at least changed the base game windows from white plastic to brick/stone :(
I've been waiting for this world!
me too...
I think Glenbeg and Humble House are my favorites in this one.
I thought humble house had probably the best shell,’it was simple but full of detail
I bought this world way back when I didn't have internet at 14. I didn't get play till I was 19.
Honestly this world shines when you download Votenga's massive TSM conversion, alongside Djanley and Mspoodles cc stuff
I highly recommend their medieval cc
If I ever do a play through of Dragon Valley I will absolutely make sure I pop in some of these!
I purposely saved watching this one just cuz your title was so great. I love the overall look they were trying to get but the interiors were a huge letdown...as per usual. I'd love to see you do your magic on one of the bigger castles.
the Irish gay guy in the ugly Irish house 😂 😭
@@Rekowcski yes!
The thumbnail is amazing Rek, great job!!!!!!
found it!
thanks for the vid, i was too lazy to bother about dragon valley...
btw it was so fun watching your facecam hover all over the place when you move your hands while speaking lol
I noticed it after maybe 2 houses but yes it was not very secured hahah
hahahahah this is hilarious! Just found your channel a couple weeks ago, really enjoying it, you, and your fabulous narrative. LOVED your video on CAW -- don't suppose you'd want to do another one (or 5 lol) on that? It's confusing and frustrating, but your irreverent attitude is just perfect way to handle that.
EA App broke CAW :(
I played wow for years my new fave youtuber
Me too; I just get sucked back in every now and again :p
@@Rekowcski me and my hubby are trying to get back into but you know bills lol
10:22 - funny story, the 'lore' for this house??? The female Sim is supposed to be Red Riding Hood and the male Sim is supposed to be the Woodcutter - it's even implied in their story that they faked the 'wolf' incident to lure the Woodcutter into the house xD
I always had a bit of fun with that by turning 'Red' into a Werewolf and the Woodcutter into a Vampire :P
OH GOD so red riding hood took over grandma's house hahahah, thank you thats helpful.
@@Rekowcski - apparently 'gran' was in on it :P xD
I really like this series, after it's over I think it would be REALLY cool if you rated the modified player-made maps.
Like Sunset Valley 2013 or the 2021 as well.
I'm pretty sure there are modified versions of the others too.
It would fit nicely to do that after finishing this.
People keep asking me to do custom worlds, so this seems like a great medium!
I just realized RUclips stopped recommending your stuff to me. I had to go looking.
I wanna get this but unfortunately like, sim points are too expensive
I love your content bestie thank you so much for the great vids 🥺 love from Vancouver x
Hi Toni hope it’s warmer in van than in Calgary :p
I don't know if I would play this world, I like the concept of a medieval world, the landscapes are very beautiful and there are very nice houses but I don't know if it suits me. Thanks for the video, will I continue the not so berry challenge?
13:54 My first thought was "why is the kitchen island pointed that way? The cabinets are pointing away from the cooking area and the overhang for sitting is one tile from the stove." I love your reviews, man. You're a little more knowledgeable about why, but we have similar decorating tastes.
Hey have you ever played a one-Sim family in Sims 3 where you simply do not get a legitimate income? Let's call it, I dunno, the "thief challenge"? I find it's a great change-of-pace way to enjoy the game dynamics.
So, you do not get a job (even Criminal) or paint or write, etc. You can only hack the computer for money and take stuff. I guess it's ok to find gold and gems to smelt/cut and sell (or hoard) but it's not really necessary except for the character aspect - you can actually get quite rich with just the first two.
Your Sim has to have Computer Whiz to hack and Klepto to steal. Wise to choose Handy so they can quickly fix the computer to keep hacking. Mooch might be fun too, but lots of fun options. I've found Swimming In Cash or Possession is 9/10 are good LTWs to use. Since the Sim will be a day sleeper, as you can't steal till 7 and you can't hack till 9, I've never had much luck trying to get a partner and make a baby to maybe inherit the business. But maybe others might try that. I'd say no one in the household should get a job (that's how the man gets you), but I'd think some non-thief family members might grow and sell vegetables or something like that.
Have you ever played Turtle Wow? It's amazinggg!
How do you do your camera fades into the house view like at the end of each review?
I talk very fast, so I always add transitions when editing... it helps people know that the next house is starting
@@Rekowcski ohh that makes sense - I thought you were doing it through the game camera controls x
Damn I’m gonna have to buy this world as well now 😂
oh no, more money for greedy EA :(
What a title! 😂
I’ve been experimenting and apparently ridiculous titles are more popular haha
The world is nice with a lot of vegetation, i like the medieval style too but not so much the houses. Would you like to judge the community lots in the worlds someday?
Someone else mentioned that the community lots were very nice ! I need to figure out a series for community lots
@@Rekowcski 😀
Please judge The Sims 2 houses too!
I don't know what to make of this world. I feel like the concept and items are so strong and the world is so pretty, but the houses are pittiful.
I think there are a couple sets on the sims 3 store that would really help, but i'm glad they included some new "medieval plumbing" items so we dont have to use suburban toilets
There are sprinklers which can be upgraded to be automatic so your sims don’t have to water everyday :)
But then they get sick, and they die, and I'm busy :(
I like 2-3 plants, MAYBE a tree, but I am usually focused on having triplets or something, I guess it just depends on how you play
Are you a classic only gamer or do you play retail as well? 😭😭
No retail, sorry. Just era right now, I enjoyed replaying tbc from 60-70 though!
I live the aesthetic of this world, but the houses are underwhelming. I often have my older sims retire here after living in Riverview, Sunset Valley or Twinbrook.
so they go from one ugly build world to the next :( haha
@@Rekowcski I build my own lol
YES! YES! YES! :DDD
Let’s go to sins2
We are almost done sims 3 so it seems like the natural next step
oh god how bad or how good is this going to be i don't remember a lot of dragon valley houses
Gay elves!??!?!? It's like looking in the mirror!
Ts3 generations actually has some...ehhh... builds too that come with the pack
"ehhhh.... builds" omg don't scare me lol
but you know I'll check those out!
@@Rekowcski I remember this one particular house that I always used for my generation family because it was big enough and with just one storey it was easy to overlook everything. The garden was nice and big too. BUT. I also remember renovating it every time I wanted to use it because the colours were just hurting my eyes
