Default Aurora Skies or Roaring Heights?
I'm tempted to get a hold of a Store World for the game because no EP based world that has been released yet comes with every Rabbithole introduced in the game.

I pretty much stuck with Moonlight Falls for a while, even when IP came out because for the most par MF seems to be the only one up to par. Isla Paradiso did introduce ports & dive spots but nothing else.

So now that we've seen the current last Store world in Roaring Heights, should I get it, or is Aurora Skies the better option for having the most rabbithole places?

Aurora Skies if you enjoy vibrant (ugly) buildings, extremely shitty premium content, and wondering "what the fuck?" Or "Why did I spend money on this?"

Roaring Heights comes with a cool car you can make, a beautiful city based on 1920s Miami, and cool old-fashioned houses.

I don't really care for premium content, I just want a town that has everything the base game & expansion packs have to offer.

I still use & love My SIM Realty's "Evansdale County expanded" world as it is very well made & am considering getting her "Storybrook version 4" world as well. But I'd still want to have a world that EA themselves created, just for added variety.

Still get Roaring Heights very beautiful and has lots of lots (pun intended.)

When I start a new game in a store world, I have to use edit town to add rabbit holes - if you're not bothered about the premium content, I'd save your money & keep doing that to custom worlds.

Saying that, I have Aurora Skies, & I like it - plenty of empty lots to add what I want there :-).

I'm using Lucky Palms and I'm really enjoying it. There's lots of empty lots, I had no trouble finding space for the Ambitions buildings (and a Casino which came from who knows where..). I also have Roaring Heights so the hairstyle and clothing sometimes appears on the other townies, but I've never actually played there.

I would say, get Roaring Heights and its beautiful than Aurora Skies and Aurora Skies has an issue with Seasons where Snow doesn't render properly there...

Me back after a long hiatus :)

Roaring Heights is seriously *gorgeous*, you'd be missing out so much if you didn't get it. I think it's one of the few things EA actually did extremely well, save for the questionably furnished homes, but it's not like any of us don't redo our sims houses.

I think the reason I can't get into Aurora Skies is because it's too reminiscent of where I live. (Sweden, and the world is supposed to have sort of a Scandinavian feel to it. The furniture and clothes and everything is p much spot on, it's just that it's like living in the middle of a fucking IKEA)

Thanks for the insight

So there we go, I'll be getting Roaring Heights then.

I have Roaring Heights and it is quite nice. I'm tempted to get Aurora Skies for the rabbit holes. I'm kookoo for rabbit holes simply because of how they can be used to quickly change the look of a town.

A friendly reminder about the glaring issue Aurora Skies terrain has with winter and snow. (or has EA grown a pair and fix it?)

Roaring Heights also has a lot of lots that can easily be altered to fit your expansions, i.e. the cafes you can add the University cafe register to, several bars/nightclubs, and the boardwalk of course!

I actually haven't played anything in Aurora Skies yet, although if it's got some major problems that others have mentioned, I might just pass on it altogether.

I absolutely adore Roaring Heights! I love the atmosphere and the Rabbit Holes. I must admit that I find the Aurora Skies Rabbit Holes a tad bit odd.

Roaring heights is a pretty world but the sims in Aurora skies are more interesting. I really like their facial features.
The problem with EA store worlds is that no matter which one you get, you will still need to edit the heck out of it to make it usable.

I hope you share how you like Roaring Heights.

I like Roaring Heights but for whatever reason you do not get the seasonal festivals (not that I really care) and you can't hang up holiday lights (again not that I care but my Sims keep rolling those wishes).

But I do like the outfits and hairstyles it comes with, not to mention the Build Mode goodies.
