It's a cute addition for toddlers, but other than that, I find it very aesthetically-pleasing rather than funcitonality. Local Motion Toddler Walker: 6/10 - This object only serves the role of helping the toddler learn to walk, and also get some playtime interaction with the walker. Also, it would be so much better than just teleporting from one lot to another. Taking note, I'd rather have that than see my sim spend 3 hours trying to travel from their home to their designated lot. Then, the balloon would slowly land into the lot itself. It would have been nice to just see the hot air balloon fly above the lot, and then teleport the sim to the appropriate lot. Although I do like the new interactions introduced, the main draw was the the concept of transportation. Hot Air Balloon: 5/10 - This was my least favorite of all of the three premium content items. The new roof patterns are also a nice touch, adding more flare and color to future creative designs.
I do like the new decor options, especially the shelves (which I will use quite frequently). Also included is the Rocking Chair from the venue, which is normally only tied to Supernatural. *Thumbs up*ĭesign: 8/10 - I love the look of all of the build/buy options the team has introduced, including a spiral staircase, which has been well over a year and a half since Generations was released.
I find the theme refreshing and something new, especially a world not based off of somewhere in the United States. The Modern Minimalistic theme was used to fill this world with new homes and architecture, including brand new roof designs, makings this world "colorful" instead of a typical bland city. Theme: 8/10 - I do like the theme of this world, which is based of Scandinavia and Iceland, or any other northern countries. Although, not everyone can afford the Gold Edition, so I gave the price of this world a drop dead 3 because of that. While I do love the premium content in the Learning Center, it made the world worth getting to me. With the venue being locked to only the Gold Edition only, it does put my views on the pricing a tad bit lower than normal. Price: 3/10 - Like all other worlds, Aurora Skies is a pretty steep price with the standard being 2450 Simpoints and the Gold being 3900/4350 Simpoints. I do love the different types of decor they actually use, so thank you to the store team for creating some brand new build/buy objects.

I'm mostly a builder, so most of the content that is introduced in both the venue and the world itself are a definite plus to expand my building options. Overall, Aurora Skies has its ups and downs, and I personally find more positives than negatives, but that's just me. Until then, here are some images of the rabbitholes and areas of Aurora Skies I find enjoyable of this world: Later on this or next week, I will be adding a Map Guide of Aurora Skies for any player who wants to know more information of this world. Unfortunately, there is no ETA when this venue is released so if you plan on getting the world and venue, I'd recommend getting the Gold Edition, even though it is a steep price. The main drawback is that the venue is only sold via the Gold Edition, meaning players will not be able to get the venue at any time in the future, unless the Simgurus plan on releasing it like in the past with the Serenity Retreat. However, because of the craze of simmers wanting brand new toddler content, the venue is a definite plus and recommended to get the Gold Edition, should you desire both the world and venue. For players who would enjoy the world as a whole, you can just buy the Standard Edition. It is just an extra venue to add to ANY world for more gameplay to the world, and like all the past worlds, you do NOT need to buy the venue to enjoy the world. I want to emphasis that throughout this guide, the venue is NOT actually part of the world and that the Early Learning Center is extra content, which will be standalone as a set in the near future. The Standard Edition is just the world, which is 2450 Simpoints, while the Gold Edition is on sale for 3900/4350 and includes the Tiny Prodigies Early Learning Center. In actuality, it is what the homes of Iceland look like, so I hope this brings some new cultural perspectives to simmers who never looked into Iceland before.įirst off, this world has two versions: The Standard Edition and the Gold Edition. While some people may refer to it as "Lego Houses" or the homes in the game: Monopoly.
If one googles "Iceland homes" or something along the lines, you will see colorful homes and roofs, which is what this world looks like. For some who may not know what this world is, it's more of a world that is based off of Iceland or any northern country.
