Obsidian Falls - Populated
Check out this promotional video!
Originally conceived as a personal project, this world reached completion around 2014. However, in 2022, I embarked on a journey to revitalize and enhance it, working on it intermittently over time. Everything, except for most of the terrain and textures, underwent a complete overhaul. Today, what you see on the screen is the culmination of this passion project.
Compatibility
The world incorporates build mode items from Monte Vista and includes store content, much of which is free, along with just a few custom items. The world will still run fine without any of this, but I highly recommend at least Monte Vista, as doors and other build items associated with it would need to be replaced in-game. And lastly, of course, the required expansion packs.
*The only items used from The Old Mill set are the Ivy collection, grandmas Jars, Tools of the Trade, and the Well.
*The giant Bonsai(free) is also used, but the link appears to be broken on the sims 3 store.
Technical Stuff
- 2048 x 2048 map size with highest altitude
- no more than 8 textures per chunk
- camera and sim non-routable has been placed where appropriate
- incorporates spawners, including some from World Adventures
Lot Information
Nearly all lots have been created by yours truly, the exception being several skyscrapers in the metro district and one house, all of which have been heavily altered, as well as 4 residential lots created by a close friend. I have included links to the lots made by creators for credit purposes, however these lots are not meant to be downloaded along with the world unless you personally wish to have them - note that some contain CC that is not used in the world.
- 9 distinct neighborhoods all with their own personalities!
- 111 lots in total
- 38 community lots
- 73 residential lots
- 22 empty houses
- 4 empty residential lots
- 47 families
- 138 sims
World has been populated with sims using the porter method.
This world is pretty ambitious. I generally play with only 4 high-detail lots, but of course playing with more shouldn't do anything besides the pesky "load lag". That being said, I highly recommend using nrass. It really does do wonders for your game.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
