The Sims 3 Hidden Springs World Review: A World With A View

EA released the “Hidden Springs” world to the Sims 3 online store this week. Considering the last expansion pack Generations didn’t come with a new world, fans of the game were due for a new backdrop for their Sims. But, at the sale price of $22.50, is the world really worth it?


Pricy
As mentioned, Generations didn’t come with a world, so a discount for registered users who already have Ambitions would’ve been nice, but instead, all those who purchase the world to download between now and September 24, 2011, will get it for 2,250 Sim Points ($22.50), after which the price will go up to 2,450 ($24.50). The biggest downside to the cost is that the Sims site bundles points packages, which means unless you have points left over, you’ll have to buy 3000 points (the 1000 and 2000 bundles at $10 and $20 respectively, bringing the total to $30) in order to purchase the world. I guess the upside to that is that you have points leftover to use toward other items in the Sims 3 store, which is probably why EA has the points and bundles system in place (rather than allowing people to buy items/worlds by price).



What do you get for $22.50?
I’m willing to go out on a limb and say that Hidden Springs is the most scenic and beautifully laid out world in the game. What’s more, there are plenty of lots on it, so those of you who like having the opportunity to populate your neighborhood, build houses and community lots, Hidden Springs gives you plenty of room to spread out.



Lay of the Land
Hidden Springs is green and while spacious, the lots are set close enough together that it won’t take your Sims all day to get from one side of the world to the other. There are a number of water falls, parks, and other visually stunning community lots, as well as a few great luxury homes for wealthier Sims looking for a place with a gorgeous view.
