Sims Nieuws Reviews Lunar Lakes!

Time for another review of Lunar Lakes. This time it’s by the awesome Sims Nieuws!
The new World Lunar Lakes is a fantastic World full fantasy and perfect for Sims who want to escape from daily life. The story of Lunar Lakes is about the surviving Sims who landed on this alien planet, after their spaceship went down. The Sims left their spaceship in the middle of the town and built a building around it. The surviving Sims used their own technology from their planet and combined this with the found crystals, and that is how they survived on Lunar Lakes.
First impression of AnsjJ2
When I first heard about lunar Lakes, I got really curious. We already had an alien in The Sims 3 and I knew for sure that there would be such world in The Sims 3. Such a world would be really big with a lot of details. And that’s Lunar Lakes. When I first opened the town I was kind of suprised by the many details and hours EA put into the world.

Time for a review of a world and what not… Uh huh. Yep. I say. I reckon so.
So I recently got my hands on Lunar Lakes, the new world created by The Sims Studio. It’s amazing, but you’ll see that in my review. Have fun! And when you’re done reading and watching, please take the time to leave a comment. I spent days on the review so it’s definitely fun to read feedback!

Their review is “out of this world”.
In the valley of Lunar Lakes is the heart of this world to find. The center of Lunar Lakes is lively and packed with houses, parks and other public lots. There are plenty of places for your Sims to live or visit. A striking and nice detail of the center which includes the roads are symmetrical.

Hidden Springs Retail version includes disc
Feb 17th
EDIT – This is lame as balls…SimsVIP popped in the disc, and it only contains Origin…nothing else. You still have to download the town from the store. This is utterly and completely stupid, what a wasted opportunity.
If you thought the Barnacle Bay town being released to stores was a shame, you’re pretty much right – nothing but an empty box. But to my surprise, there is actually a disc for Hidden Springs that came out earlier in the week. Hot-diggity-dog, now I won’t have to download the town from the store and burn my own disc. This is how it should have been to begin with.
UPDATE
Turns out that the disc ONLY contains Origin and SimPoints.

Dunno anyone who’d buy that many at a time. Anyways, if you have $60 or $180 burning a whole in your pocket, why not spend it on SimPoints?

Lunar Lakes Community Blog – Interview with The World Building Team
Feb 16th
Here’s a very cool interview with the team that built this very cool world. There’s also some AWESIM concept art as well!
Donna Bennett is a modeler on The Sims 3. She was responsible for crafting the focal point of Lunar Lakes, the massive spacecraft called The Perigee, which brought our Sims to this fascinating foreign planet. Donna, can you tell us a bit about the spaceship and what it was like to work on this complicated model?
The spacecraft was a fun and different assignment as I usually work on everyday objects and conventional buildings. Focusing on anything from space is a real treat! Our team decided we wanted The Perigee to look like it had crashed and Sims had built buildings around it and moved civilian operations back inside. The blue lights inside the ship’s hull cavities are designed to look like dwellings for Sims living in the ship.
