There are other uses of the hot hair balloon from sightseeing or drinking champagne with another Sim, but unfortunately none of them justify the objects real estate it requires when placed on a lot. The transportation aspect of the hot hair balloon instantly transports the player and the object itself to the lot of their choosing with the actual process replaced by a loading screen. The hot hair balloon functions solely as an individual lot object, which doesnt actually allow Sims to use them to float about the general world. The other major component of Aurora Skies, or as the promotion material would have individuals believe, is the addition of hot air balloons. The only downside with the northern lights is that theyre simply a new sky texture, which might be a limitation of the aging engine, but still a disappointment none-the-less.Īs most Sims likely sleep through the night using the games ultra-speed toggle, the northern lights are more a minor detail than anything else. The Sims 3 Seasons expansion pack is recommended with this world as both the added weather and season types result in truly an unique atmospheric experience. The overall flat nature of the landscape resulted in less-than-stellar vistas when playing within the city.Īs the worlds title mentions, the skies at night will randomly transform into the northern lights creating for a spectacular scene. While the landscapes hues, geo-thermal lakes, and waterfalls all make for a pleasant experience, it always felt that the world was flat no matter which house was selected. The landscape of Aurora Skies is quite a contrast from past Sims worlds in that everything from the ground to houses share a bold color contrast.
