Overview
Lunar Lakes is a neighborhood located in another planet, distinct from other The Sims 3 neighborhood. Lunar Lakes happens to be placed in the future, and, by this time, every other world has been destroyed, as hinted by the bio-dome parks for each neighborhood. Descedants from families such as the Vanderburg family, Langerak family and Specter family, survived, and live here.

In here, it is placed a special importance in science fiction, The Perigee is a science lab built from the space ship the resident's ancestors crash landed in, it is the tallest building in the town and the only rabbithole building to not be a warp gate.

The urban sector houses most of the population, and it is also the most technologically advanced sector, most buildings in this sector are in an unique, geometric build with futuristic architecture, sometimes sporting buildings that are supported entirely by a single, slim column. It contains five bio-dome parks built in memories of the past world.
