Since The Sims 3 basegame comes with air conditioners, toilet paper roll holders, and electrical boxes, all homes have these installed.В Likewise, Night Life comes with air conditioning vents, so all homes also have vents to complete their heating/cooling systems.ДЄnd finally, all homes are equipped with smoke detectors and at least one light in every room. The residential lots are as close to the originals as possible, but I did make a few additions. HereвЂ™s a lovely trailer created by Caleb:

And it just wouldnвЂ™t be Pleasantview without hot tubs and dart boards! So, you will need the Late Night expansion for everything to work properly. I wanted to keep it basegame only, but unfortunately The Sims 3 BG does not include hot tubs or dart boards. Includes a brand-new map thatвЂ™s as close as I could possibly get to the original вЂhood (made in CAW). ItвЂ™s populated by all the Pleasantview residents, townies, and original NPCs. This world was created with basegame and Late Night content only (no CC). If you want to see more of his amazing builds, visit his blog or Youtube channel. He did an amazing job creating many of the lots to complete Pleasantview (and all of the NPCs). What started as a daunting solo project soon turned into a collaboration with my friend and fellow Simmer, Caleb (aka PlaySims). Everything listed below in this post is still included! Such specialists write far more hits and best-sellers in their particular genre than most.Please see the updated post here with many fixes and improvements to the world. Writers must pen at least 5 novels in a specific genre to be known as a specialist for the genre. They are so well known that they tend to write far more hits and best-sellers than their counterparts.

Prolific Writers have written at least 20 books in their career. Speed Writers write more quickly than normal writers. Speed Writers are so prolific that they've earned В§30,000 in royalties.

There is a skill opportunity available (write a book with royalties of В§100 or more) that will also improve your chances from then on.

The Prolific Writer challenge increases your chances in all genres.

Completing the Specialist Writer challenge improves your chances in your genre of specialization even further!.

Each book written in a given genre improves your chances in that genre.

Note that there are several significant factors that can alter these odds. So at level 10, you have a 15 in 29 chance to write a hit. However, if that Sim had not yet read 50 books, their page per minute rate would be 0.56 and an average Masterpiece would require closer to 60 hours.Д®ach level brings the chance of the book to be a flop, a hit or a Best Seller. Such a Sim could complete an average Masterpiece in under 44 hours of total work.

Speed Writer Bonus Multiplies total ppm by 1.4ДЇor example, a Sim with the Book Worm trait, maximum writing skill, who has read 50 books, and who has completed the Speed Writer skill challenge would have a writing rate of 0.77 page per minute: (0.12 + 0.03 + 0.25 + 0.15) * 1.4.

There are several factors that influence a Sim's writing speed. Hopeless Romantic Trait requires Skill Level 5 Good Sense of Humor Trait requires Level 2 Requires level 8 in the Directing branch of the Film career

Artistic Trait writes books faster and with higher royalties.

Perfectionist Trait writes book slower, but royalties will be greater.

Bookworm Trait can write and read books faster.

As your level progress you have the added options of additional Novel types, and the royalties paid for these also increase. It starts out with the options to Practice Writing, start Fiction Novel and start Non-Fiction Novel. The Writing skill is a skill career, so your sims can register as a Self-Employed writers, earning special rewards for selling their work.
