Talk:Oasis Landing

Name
Let's get things straight. What's the name of this sub-hood? Please take a look at this image and read the description. Now I don't know if they decidedly renamed the hood into "Oasis Landing", but did EA say it's Arcadia Landing? Do they ever use the name in-game?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  10:36, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * IIRC, they said "Arcadia Landing" in the live broadcasts on July 23 and July 30. but I don't recall if the name appeared in the demo. There is supposed to be a live broadcast today at 15:00 UTC (if I'm doing the conversion right); might be more info there. Dharden (talk) 10:55, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * It sounds like EA are confused themselves. :/ I guess whichever the real name is, we'd better use "Arcadia Landing" before jumping to conclusions.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  14:16, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah. If the final name is something else, someone can set a bot to change to it. Dharden (talk) 18:24, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * I just watched the latest live broadcast, and I'm pretty sure King said "Oasis" Landing. I'm still looking for a concrete evidence though.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  18:33, August 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * No doubt it'll be on YouTube before long. Dharden (talk) 22:18, August 22, 2013 (UTC)

The Beakers to return?
I'm not sure how to add citations but I thought I'd link to this if nobody else has caught it yet - The Sims Facebook page did a teaser today hinting that Loki and Circe Beaker (or some relatives of theirs) might be set to make a return in Oasis Landing:

Is this worth adding to the article?

 * That's a pretty cool find. Although, I'd prefer to wait until they can provide clearer info about it... Well, that is, on its release date.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  17:40, October 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's not the real Loki and Circe, it's Loki's clones. Atom is the boy and Ceres is the girl. Kaiko Mikkusu (talk) 18:20, May 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * They aren't clones of Loki. They are genetically engineer twins created by Loki Beaker. It is stated in the article. And they are his children when they live in Strangetown and somehow the twins are transported in Oasis Landing. As it can see from the family bio.


 * Also, there aren't have any clones in TS2 and only TS3:U. Well, there aren't engineering children in TS2 either. But EAxis put this in some point.


 * And you stated the twins their gender, obviously.  ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  2:30, May 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much for the clarification. But in case it wasn't clear enough, the discussion started while Into The Future was still under development. Meaning, it was before we even knew "Atom Beaker" existed.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  14:45, May 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Genetic engineering, clones, whatever, it's still the same thing. The genes had to come from somewhere, in that case they came from Loki with a bit of Erin, Bjorn, and Gundrun. But they do not have Circe's genes right? Or Nervous'. They're basically clones of Loki... Kaiko Mikkusu (talk) 05:56, June 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * @Kaiko: They are big difference. Clones are like copying you but more or less physical appearance to them in each other while Genetic Engineering by building mechanics like robots. But I close to the conclusion that your opinions and I are contradict in each other, because it might be a war who's right or not. :P  .ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  |  (my mistakes)  06:13, June 22, 2014 (UTC)

Some stuff
Oh, it's already started...! Russo family, eh? I can no longer forget Ariel Baron's fanons now...

Does anyone know how many worlds are there in the game folder? Could there be 3 separate worlds depending on the type of the future? If so, it's probably necessary to create each world, with some considerations though. If, for example, the residents are all the same, there's no need to do this.

 * You might want to ask EJB. He's the one who started all these. I'm not sure if I can find this game now in the local store, it's still too early. --Frostwalker Talk to me! 13:39, October 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * Gonna take a while for us if we are to wait for the physical disc. I'm already agitated to see other people talking about ITF... Maybe I'll just ask him in person if he doesn't show up here.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  14:07, October 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * All three outcomes shares the same world file, I just checked it. That means same sims, same townies etc. I don't think if say, we were to create a house in Oasis Landing, it would get reset if we change the outcome since the game uses the same world file. EpicJoyBoy   (My talk page!)  15:12, October 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * Very interesting. So there's only one world file in the game folder? Thanks for clearing that up! I've always thought there were 3 separate world files for each future outcome.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:23, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Returning families
I'm sure some of you may have seen that the Larson family and the Russo family has been moved to the Returning families section. Yes, the Larson family is featured in Open For Business, but I don't think the family from Oasis Landing are even related to them. They don't even share similar facial features. As for the Russo family, I can't remember if there's anyone related to them. Should I move them back to the New families section? EpicJoyBoy  (My talk page!)  18:34, October 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * There is a Russo family in Monte Vista. Became Best Friends with -Sim-.png Panerai (talk ) 19:25, October 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but she's already an elder, and she is unlikely to have any children either due to her Dislikes Children trait. I think we might be able to consider the Russo family from Oasis Landing as distant relatives. EpicJoyBoy   (My talk page!)  21:03, October 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * I disagree if we are to say the Larson family is a returning family. This might be just a coincidence, and they just happened to share the same surnames. This is just the same as Cho family in Hidden Springs and the one in Belladonna Cove.


 * The same may go to the Russos, unless they have an evidence that proves they're related in some ways, like the Parrott family and the Mango family.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:38, October 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * I do agree that the Larsons aren't related, yes. The Russos, however, could be related in some ways. They at least did share similar facial features (green eyes, tan skin, etc.) Also, Oasis Landing is about a few hundred years into the future so they might very well be distant relatives, as said earlier.

Sims articles
I've pretty much lost my interest in The Sims series (though I still lurk regularly), and because of my lack of activity here as of now, I'm wondering if anyone could finish the rest of the Sims (and plumbots) articles here (and hopefully Roaring Heights too). I've uploaded all the headshots of Sims and plumbots in Oasis Landing sometime ago, so I hope someone will make use of it. Thanks! EpicJoyBoy  (My talk page!)  07:00, May 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for all your contributions here! :) Your headshots will be needed for these Sim articles for sure, so thank you for that too!  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  04:33, May 25, 2014 (UTC)
