One of the new towns that appeared in the game on January 30, 2013, but it was only possible to purchase it from February 21. Aurora Skies in Sims 3 is a world whose main feature is the sky. The creators tried to work it out as carefully as possible. As a result, residents of the region can not only observe the steam emanating from geothermal springs, but also enjoy the incredibly beautiful northern lights.
What's in the box?
The new addition for "Sims 3" includes not only the town, but also some other important elements of the gameplay. Let's consider them in more detail:
- the gold edition of the game "Sims 3: Aurora Sky" includes the standard version of the add-on containing a classic balloon, various interior items, new residents and public places;
- an additional component of this DLC is the Young Talent Center for Child Development. Here you can find various items for the children's room.
What is the new building?
The game also appeared a new public institution designed to educate kids. Here you can increase the basic skills necessary for successful growing up, such as:
- ability to walk;
- ability to speak;
- logic and others.
What is the weather like?
In Aurora Skyes, the weather conditions are quite unusual for the game. This is due to the fact that, according to legend, the place is located in the north. There are often torrential rains with thunderstorms. Also, due to the location, snow appears a little earlier. About one or two days. After that, winter begins.
What is so special?
There are two new types of natural phenomena on this map. The first is the aurora borealis mentioned earlier. Here referred to as Aurora Borealis. Actually the city is named just in his honor. It appears in the presence of clouds. None during the formation of thunderstorms and mists.
The second innovation is ponds. On the map there is a geothermal lake and a waterfall. If you approach its edge, you can see the whole local world.
What sites are present?
In this expansion of the Sims 3 game, Aurora Skyes is represented by 84 different sites. Among them:
- 32 sites where families live.
- 21 empty plots available for settlement.
