Shang Simla

Shang Simla is a pre-made destination sub-neighborhood added to The Sims 3 in The Sims 3 World Adventures, along with Champs Les Sims and Al Simhara.

Description
Shang Simla is a peaceful community set near a mountainous area of China near the Great Wall. It was founded by a group of monks with an ethos of discipline and Martial Arts. It is full of colorful flora, such as Chinese elms and cherry trees, growing on deep green hills. This sub-hood features activities and items that compliment Chinese culture and architecture. Shang Simla is the hub for training in the Martial Arts skill introduced in World Adventures. Sims can also explore landmark tombs and hidden tombs throughout this neighborhood, there are numerous adventures to be had. There are numerous pre-made families in Shang Simla, although they all unfortunately lack description texts. Description text on some objects introduced in World Adventures expand on the lore of Shang Simla, depicting characters such as painter Han Shin.

A trip to Shang Simla costs §1300 for the first Sim and §1000 for each additional Sim, making it the cheapest vacation destination.
