Please note that specific information about CRG West Hartford, such as its address, hours of operation, and available services, may change over time, so I recommend visiting their official website or contacting them directly for the most up-to-date details and information on their climbing facilities and programs.

Welcome To Sims3City!
Tumblr media
They say if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere! Celebrities can be found wandering the shops and giving impromptu performances all over Sims3City. There's live show venues everywhere and it's easy to see why they say this city runs on dreams yet never sleeps!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I found this absolutely gorgeous map: Waterfall Beauty and just had to use it to make my own city world save! This map did come with lots already designated so I filled it up with the best townhouses, apartments, and city life buildings I could find or make to make my own version of a mashup of Starlight Shores and Bridgeport.
Tumblr media
INTERESTING CHARACTERS
Every sim comes to Sims3City to make it big! With a performance venue on nearly every corner, you're sure to see:

Chloe and Bob Katt - always on the hustle to make people believe in magic again!
The Myth family is here, of course, living in the spookiest house!
Mirage Sable always seems able to make everyone else's wishes come true, hoping one day her only one will, too!
Tumblr media
Candice and Arthur finally made it to The City when Candice got her book deal. Arthur is hoping to make it into the celebrity chef business...with a little help from his friend and now roommate, Derek. This new relationship has a lot of challenges being thrown its way, but this couple is determined to make it here and everywhere!
The Vireowing Fairy Sisters not only have beautiful voices, they love to bestow inner and outer beauty on all of those around them. That's perfect in a city that values beauty!
As with anywhere, crime can be overwhelming in the city but H & H Private detective family, Harmony and Henry, are on the case!
Lots of sims from Starlight Shores and Bridgeport are here: The Drama On TV household, the Crash Pad household, the Atkins Household, the Elson Family, the Sagar Family, the Platt Family, the Hemlock, Schlick and Slayer families, the Belle family, the Art Central household, and the Whitfield family.

MORE INFO
This is a world save file. You will need to have the world installed in order to play the save file. In this download, you will find 3 save files and the world file:
Sims3CityCommunityLots - this version of the save is only the community lots
Sims3CityUnpopulated - this is the final version of the save without households
Sims3CityPopulated - this is the final version on the save with all households
I have all expansions, stuff packs, and store content so most of it is probably used in this save. If you do not have the item, the game should generate a similar item. The only expansion not used is PETS so I do not know how this save will run with pets, my apologies. THERE IS ZERO CUSTOM CONTENT IN THIS SAVE. All lots are set as regular lots (not apartments) so if you want to change them for roommates, etc feel free! I hope you enjoy this save as much as I am! Please tag me @zergula or #Sims3City if you share any photos, I would love to see them!
Please check out my other world saves here:

Evander Green
Tumblr media Tumblr media
( lakeith stanfield + cis male + he/him ) / how did you survive, EVANDER GREEN? if i remember right, you’re a THIRY-ONE year old and you used to be a PARK RANGER. while you’re from CALIFORNIA, you’re currently living in the ROADWAY INN. i've heard you've got a little to offer, being ALTRUISTIC & RESILIENT, but but i don't know if that makes up for being RECKLESS & ABRASIVE. are you humming LEFT HAND FREE by ALT-J? ( gabi + grapefruitey + 26 + she/her + Central )
Tags:
Full bio under the cut:
Born the middle child of three in a tiny town in Michigan, Evander was desperate to escape. He longed for adventure and nature and a break from the dry heat of the desert. His parents were academics who first met in a Greek mythology course and did their best to entertain rambunctious children who were all named after characters they enjoyed. Evander found his happiness in nature. He took up rock climbing as a preteen and even competed in a handful of competitions. He was never the greatest gym boulderer but he was extremely adept at lead and free solo climbing when out in nature.
As soon as Evander was able, he became an EMT. He eventually transitioned into the Parks Service as a Ranger on the specialty Search and Rescue teams. Evander worked for nearly a decade in various parks until he worked his way through the ranks to Yosemite. He is second in command for the search and rescue team out there but will travel around the country for training exercises.
When the end happened, he barely noticed it. People were still coming to parks unprepared and there were rescues to be made. Always late to the party because he was out in nature, his family would not be surprised. Evander donned his pack loaded with first aid supplies when the roving groups of desperate survivors (and infected) invaded the small paradise the rangers set up. Things weren't blowing over like they hoped and he figured he would take his chances trying to get back to his family.

Today I also went to the local gym (@centralrockrandolph) after running. Yes, the double workout is what I call a “minor Sylvie” (named in recognition for and old running companion who was Corsican)… but that’s a long story for another time. Central Rock Randolph is a great home away from home gym. Nicely challenging and creative route-setting! I went three times this week! Sex, drugs, and rock and roll… somehow that’s kept Keith Richards alive all these years. I’m realizing that for me it’s been running, climbing, and yoga… a #and maybe a few measures of what Keith’s having too! 📍Massa-adchu-es-et (Massachusett), Wôpanâak (Wampanoag), and Pokanoket Lands (at Central Rock Randolph) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClaZgTeu3m3VmyuxPD0vLHylLLNl4U3VvMdWJM0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rock Climbing at Farley Ledges
Today I got yet another chance to climb outdoors! Like the prior trips to Chapel Ledge and Rose Ledge, this trip was organized by the Smith Outdoor Adventure Program. Today’s trip was to Farley Ledges! It was a beautiful fall Saturday so it was a bit busy. That said, there were still a number of great climbs to try and there is just something cool about seeing other climbers. 
Tumblr media
This trip was a bit more advanced in that it required us to be belay certified and have some prior climbing experience. Whereas the prior two trips were top rope only, today’s trip had some folks lead climbing. While I didn’t actually lead any routes, I did learn more about it and cleaned a route which was a new experience for me. In the coming weeks, I look forward to learning more about lead climbing in my rock climbing course. In addition to awesome climbs, there was also a cave we got to explore. 
Tumblr media
Today’s trip was the last Outdoor Adventure Program climbing trip of the semester, which is a bit sad. Fortunately (weather-dependent), I’ll have some more opportunities to climb outside in my rock climbing class. Overall the trips have been awesome as I’ve really loved getting outside, climbing, and meeting new people. Through these trips, I’ve made new friends and have even found a potential climbing buddy for when I move out to Seattle! While I’ll definitely miss these somewhat regular climbing trips, I’ll be glad to sleep in on future Saturday mornings and get a bit more of my weekend back for other activities. Additionally, I’m excited to have more time for extra indoor climbing at the Smith wall or maybe even Central Rock Gym (CRG).

a uni survival guide: tips from a phd
if there's one thing i know about, it's college. i've done it, i've taught it, i've lived and breathed it. these tips are for first years in particular, but honestly for everybody. i think it's so important for people to have balanced lives in these years -- academics are not everything. you know what didn't help me in the real world when i was afraid i wouldn't live through it? my fancy college note-taking format. you know what did help me? the friends i made there who i knew would get on a plane and fly across the country in a matter of hours if i told them i needed them.
academic
- figure out where class is held ahead of time: don't be that kid who's late on day one, i beg of you
- use the writing center: especially for basic grammatical editing, which a lot of professors don't have time to mark on papers
- speak up in class: talking through ideas helps you work through them, and asking questions about something you don't understand can open up great lines of conversation
- find a regular schedule that works for you and stick to it: my college schedule was morning free time, class, lunch, class, practice, homework. that consistency was a life-saver
- keep a planner: it's so important to have a central place to track deadlines, assignments, and engagements
- annotate your reading: when you're stressing about a paper topic, being able to go back to what you've highlighted and written in the margins is a life-saver
- color-code your coursework: i use the same color highlighter, pen, and notebook for any given class. it's super helpful
- if you can't focus while studying with friends, don't: i reserved group studying for days when i didn't have important work because i can't be in a room with other people without talking to them. if your school has one, the quiet floor of the library is your best friend
- treat yourself to a "fun" class: art was always my place to just sit back and chill, a way to end the night all zen in the darkroom instead of conjugating russian verbs in a fluorescent-lit cinderblock prison. for you, it could be gym, it could be pottery, it could be some random course about, like, the history of cooking or something -- explore!
- profs are people too: don't be too nervous around them. also, know that if you're struggling -- even b/c of something in your personal life -- you can admit it, and they'll almost always understand why you missed a deadline or bombed a test
- go to office hours: it's the only way to get to know professors in big courses, and it's so helpful for both your grades and learning how to navigate relationships with authority figures
social
- don't let academia keep you from your friends: it's a case-by-case basis, but sometimes it's okay to let the reading slide and spend time with friends. i graduated seven years ago and my college group text still talks every day. that's so much more important to me than the fact that i never finished brideshead revisited
- joining a club is one of the best ways to make friends: i played ultimate frisbee through college and it was the source of so many lasting relationships, as well as the way i met all my local friends when i was abroad
- say yes to things you don't know if you'll like: you'll surprise yourself. me? turns out i love drinking games. and theme parties. and skinny dipping. and rock climbing
- don't be that person who looks down on their peers for partying: honestly? that person kind of sucks. you don't have to party if you don't want to, but actually, a lot of those people are super nice and also good at school -- don't just write them off!
- show up for your friends: go to their games, their concerts, their art shows, their standup nights. show them that what matters to them matters to you, too
- set aside a night to do a group activity with others: whether your vibe is wednesday night trivia, a weekly "terrible movie" showing, or a get-high-and-watch-nature-documentaries-type thing, these are great ways to liven up the week and de-stress
- this is a great time to figure out who from high school really matters to you: you don't have to force relationships that were built mostly on convenience if there are friends at uni with whom you click more. people you became friends with purely based on the coincidence of where your parents lived do not have to be your forever friends. they can be! but they don't have to be
personal
- don't expect too much of yourself: a 4.0 is not the end-all, be-all. if your family or somebody tells you it is, tell them to call me, and i will personally talk some sense into them
- take advantage of university support services: mental health counseling, free yoga classes, multi-cultural societies, etc
- drink water: please, please don't get kidney stones in the middle of the semester, says the girl who got kidney stones in the middle of the semester
- let yourself take breaks: if you need to lie to a professor and say you're sick when really you're just feeling down and you need to sit in bed and watch a movie, that's totally valid
- don't freak about individual assignments: my students come to me freaking over a B+ and i tell them, honey, no job interviewer is ever going to ask you about your second paper from communications 101. i wish i'd known that
- go see speakers if there's someone interesting coming to campus: these talks are always cooler than you expect. i'll never get over the fact that i didn't go see anita hill when she came to my undergrad
- do your laundry on the same night every week: i can't explain why this is so helpful but it really is
- keep up on the news and the memes: read the school paper, the school blog, the memes page -- college politics and inside jokes are fun and convoluted and fascinating
- set the groundwork for long-term self-care: all of the above is really just to say -- university isn't just for learning about the french revolution, it's also about learning how to balance, how to handle failure, how to ask for help, how to make a salad that doesn't totally suck, etc

BP BOYS AND EXERCISE HEADCANONS
QUEST
Okay this one’s fairly obvious. You’re gonna look at me and tell me that he doesn’t go to the gym? Regularly?
Dude probably regularly goes on early morning jogs before work or late afternoon ones on days he’s not working; if he had a dog, he would probably tire them out easily.
When he’s not running, he’s probably lifting weights or doing push-ups and planks.
He probably exercises both because he enjoys it and because it’s a stress relief (that helps him sleep). I feel like he’s someone who has more energy than he lets on at first, and trying to sleep without having done anything all day to get rid of it can be a struggle.
Unless you’re a gym nut or just catch him at a time where it’s convenient, there’s probably not a whole lot of date potential with Quest’s favored forms of working out.
TOASTY
NakedToaster strikes me as someone who exercises fairly irregularly; they have a lot to do and sometimes it slips their mind between work and Final Fantasy.
However, I think he’s totally played Dance Central as a form of exercise and if you moved in with him, that’s absolutely something you’re getting dragged into- honestly, it might come up as a date because of the nostalgia factor. Dance Central 2 is his favorite, since you can be a team, and he probably has the highest scores on Sandstorm (by Darude) and What Is Love. I fully believe they can’t dance but are annoyingly good at Dance Central, so you MIGHT get a little bit of Smug Toasty™️ if you challenge him and lose.
Honestly, in the end, it’s just a good way to spend time with each other; it’s always fun, there’s always some banter, and you can always yell “go white boy, go” to embarrass them whenever they’re Having A Moment and killing it.
NIGHTOWL
Honestly, I could see him doing gymnastics, or being similar to Toasty and some kind of dance; I feel like he’d like something involving agility or flexibility.
Maybe takes hip-hop, or aerial silk, classes; after getting together, I think he’d totally be into showing off for you or trying to teach you things.
It’d be better if you were clumsy or didn’t know how to dance beforehand, because he’d probably find it adorable when you mess up or stumble over things.
With gymnastics, it totally gets shown off. Watch him do the splits- aren’t you impressed? You should totally praise him.
XYX
xyx works out probably somewhere a little above nightowl’s level but not at Quest’s; he’s terrible at sticking with one thing, though, and has a wide range of activities he’d consider ‘working out’.
His favorites are probably rock climbing and biking; he can get a little too into it though, which you might learn if he invites you to come with when he bikes and you learn he bikes like a man on his way to spite god. You’ll have to ask him to chill a little if you’re not a regular biker, yourself.
Rock climbing is definitely a date idea at one point- it’s potentially a little less ‘wow’-looking than he tries to give on dates, but it’s not any less fun, and almost feels a little more personal than some other date ideas. It’s also a little easier to keep up with him, if only because rock climbing requires you to be a little more ‘present’.
You’d be sweaty and your arms will be sore by the end of it, but the back and forth teasing of ‘the view looks great from here’ when one of you is ahead of the other would totally be worth it.

The last week had been a blast. It passed by so quickly that you had wondered what happened as you stood there on the rooftop hangar waving goodbye to your sister.
Captain America, or Steve, as he prefers to be called, took you and Tala around Brooklyn. Sgt. Sam Wilson and Sgt. James Barnes tagged along and they were very comedic and interesting tour guides. Steve would tell you quirky stories about certain buildings and historical events that had happened at a particular park or on a street corner. James, or Bucky, as he introduced himself, was very quiet. His lack of enthusiasm was opposite to Sam’s energy and wit. What an interesting trio, you observed.
Peter Parker, Tony’s high school intern, showed you guys around Queens and took you to interesting eateries and you tried food from street corner carts. He was very curious about your powers, especially the transformation that takes place.
Wanda and Vision had taken you guys around Ellis Island to visit the Statue of Liberty, and around Central Park. They admitted that they hadn’t seen any of these locations themselves and thought that being tourists with you would be a lot of fun.
These were all memories that you would cherish for your lifetime. But now, the real work was about to begin. Without the safety net of your home or the support system of your sister, you started to feel lonely and homesick.
“Hey, you ready for tomorrow?” Nat asked. You nodded your head and crafted a smile. The rest of the day was Nat going over the more domestic rules of the tower. How everyone is in charge of keeping their own space clean. There was hired help to clean the common areas and to fill the fridge and pantry. But you were responsible for your own meals and your own space. She showed you where the laundry was. Where the medical bay was. Where the garage and armory were. You could only take out a car or weapons with explicit consent from Fury, Steve, or Tony. She also gave you a list of restaurants and stores around the tower in case you needed something that wasn’t already available at hand. From here on out, you were fending for yourself.
     You woke up the next day at six, knowing that Nat wanted you down at the gym at seven. You took a quick shower, got dressed, and made your way down to the communal kitchen. Steve and Sam were already there making some scrambled eggs and offered you some. You gladly accepted and pointed to the coffee.
“Ya, help yourself.” Sam had said. You smiled at him, thanking him.  They tried talking to you about what your schedule looked like for the rest of the day. You took out a notebook and pen from the side pocket of your pants and wrote out-
First is evaluations, followed by combat training. After that I’ll get a lunch break, then the rest of the afternoon at Tony’s lab.
“I’m sure you’ll do great. We’ll head down with you. I’m the one giving you your combat training,” Steve said. That was a nice surprise. You had enjoyed the time spent with him showing you around Brooklyn. You felt like you had made some friends here already the week prior, just hanging out and getting to know the team. Tala would be proud.
All three of you headed down to the gym floor to meet up with Natasha. Just like the ballroom, the gym had taken up the entire floor. It was divided into sections, there were treadmills, stationary bikes, and various exercise equipment lining up one side of the wall. Further down the same wall were weights, punching bags, and various dumbbells. On the opposite side was a multipurpose court with bleachers. It had a basketball hoop and a tennis net. The rest of the wall was a rock-climbing wall that had several harnesses hanging to the ground. Then coming from the rock wall towards the center were just mats for training and combat. Looking up, you noticed that there was a wrap-around balcony the length of the entire floor, disappearing behind the rock wall. Several people were running around, doing laps. This is amazing, you thought.
“Hey! You’re right on time.” Natasha said looking well-rested and holding a clipboard. “Ok so first, we need to see what you can do and what you can’t do, so we can tailor a training regimen for you. Is there anything specific you wanna work on?”
You paused, looking at her. You know that she’s aware of your history. The fact that Steve and Sam won’t understand you, made you more honest. “Physically, no. Not really. But I do want to work on getting my voice back,” you signed. She smiled at that.
After some stretches and warmups, she tested your strength at the weights station. Nat spotted you at twenty pounds but soon added fifty. Then another fifty pounds. Then one hundred. Close to 700 pounds was when you were breaking a sweat. At 1,500 pounds, was when you started to feel sore. “Ok then. Remind me not to piss you off, okay?” Nat joked.  She then tested your speed by having you run laps on the upstairs balcony. She would time how many laps you could run in 10 minutes. Giving your all, you ran as fast as you could. She clocked you in at a 2-minute mile. Pretty good.
It was nice to finally put a quantitative measure on your prowess. You had always wondered how strong you were. You first noticed it when you were a child. You had played with the village kids up until school age when you would kick the ball a little bit too hard or just run a bit too fast. Even Tala had remarkable strength and speed. The other kids never wanted to play with you and Tala after that, saying that it was unfair. Naturally, Tala had become your best friend. The only other one who could match you.
“You’re very impressive Mayari! I think the closest we have to your strength is Bruce,” Steve said coming out from the bleachers.
“She’s more like the Asgardians” Nat added. “I mean she is a goddess.”
“Ok. Combat training. Let’s see how you can fight.” His words started to echo in your head. You had garnered a little watch party. They must all be curious about you. This got you a little nervous. You felt your heart beating heavier in your chest. This was starting to remind you of your last fight. The fight with your brother. You didn’t want anything to happen, like falling on your ass. Or summoning the moon. Or accidentally singing causing everyone to suffer in pain.
Oh, but here he comes. Apolaki. Your breathing got shallower. A shiver ran up your spine. You started sweating more profusely, a cold sweat. You closed your eyes, forcing your mind to conjure the image of Steve back.
You took the time to look at your surroundings. You listened to the runners up on the balcony. You tried to identify the different colors of the climbing holds on the rock wall. You heard someone counting their reps on the weight bench behind you. You tried to match your breathing to theirs. Breathing in and out,
One…inhale. Two…exhale.
You started noticing the different scents around the gym. Surprisingly, not so much sweat and odor, but bleach, leather, citrus, and honey?!
“Mayari!” Nat yelled out. That shook you from your spiraling thoughts. You looked at Nat with big eyes, threatening to spill over with tears. “Are you ok?” She asked. You nodded your head and wiped your eyes with the heel of your palm. When you opened them, you saw Steve again. You took in one last breath and crouched into a defensive position.
