With those in mind, it's really up to you guys to decide for yourself if this world is good for you or not. Store content is never really taken into consideration in terms of Expansion Pack compatibility, but so far I have enjoyed it with all the EP's I have. The beaches are very lackluster and some of the homes are too spacious and should probably be adjusted. NONE of the parks are good to hold festival lots as they do seem pretty small. Some of the lots do not align to the roads, especially near the school area. The sidewalks in the downtown area do not match up, which do look weird (I have yet to figure out why I have lagged in the world so far) The world is on a hill, which has potential for lags or routing errors to occur. Horses actually have capabilities of roaming around this world, even though there are places too small for them. (The Salon and Fire Station fit in well where the Spa and Hospital are. 4 designated lots for the 30x20 Community lots of Ambitions. Lots of creative concept for players with the Pizzeria "hangout" (not new venue) Many of the lots are perfect to adjust with Seasons and other Expansion Packs Includes a Police HQ/Military Rabbithole never before introduced in The Sims 3 franchise Brand new rabbitholes that make this world unique The World has brand new terrain textures and architecture While it may be small, it for some odd reason attracted my attention and I seem to always want to send my sims there for pictures. One of my personal favorite parts of the world is this little area by the Hospital/Science Facility. Unfortunately, a couple of the others are just recolors. This world has been designed beautifully, especially in cooperation with the weather in Seasons and brand new rabbithole designs for some of the rabbitholes. While it may have some influences of France or Spain, it is mostly centered around places like Rome. Monte Vista has brought in new elements to The Sims 3 Store by basing it on an actual country, Italy. I hope you guys enjoy this review, I'm sure you guys will definitely enjoy the information and critique of this brand new world!

Even though the extra simpoints are there, by treating it as a $1:100 Simpoint ratio, you're paying pretty much approximately 1900 Simpoints with the $20 bundle and 1600 Simpoints with the $35 Bundle, not a bad deal to be honest. Honestly, it's a pretty good deal in both bundles, especially the $35 bundle when you consider that normally worlds cost 2450 Simpoints, approximately $25 USD. Reasons are due to law restrictions, but as EA cannot disclose them, it's whatever.Īnyways, the price of this world is $20 USD for Monte Vista + 100 Simpoints or $35 USD for Monte Vista + 1900 Simpoints. Before I begin, please take note that the world is ONLY exclusive as a Simpoint Bundle and in Retailer Stores on January 8th, 2013.
