Appaloosa Plains: Difference between revisions

|caption = ''At one point Appaloosa Plains was a sleepy ranching township, its only claim to fame being a garish tourist trap that drew in the occasional passerby. However, a recent influx of city slickers has turned the area into a bustling hub of activity. They keep arriving with their stacks of Simoleons, retrofitting the town with modern amenities while eagerly believing they've acquired their own slice of country paradise. The clash between the old and new is readily apparent, with some elderly die-hards clinging to the remaining vestiges of life as they knew it. Will the town come together in the new era of prosperity, or will the generational clash leave a clear line drawn in the sand?''

'''Appaloosa Plains''' is thea neighborhood[[world]] that was introduced within ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]''.<ref>[http://www.simprograms.com/32887/8-new-images-of-appaloosa-plains/ SimPrograms - Appaloosa Plains images]</ref> The neighborhoodworld was first mentioned as "a quiet country-side town with meadows and woods to explore." Appaloosa Plains in the past was a cowboy ranch town in the Midwest, on the edge of the highway. As time progressed, the town has degenerated into a bit of a neglected ghost town before finally turning into a large township.<ref>[http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=de&tl=en&u=http://www.sims-3.net/die-sims-3-einfach-tierisch-exklusivinterview-zur-pc-und-konsolenversion/085642&usg=ALkJrhgjBJn7kFi5PCR1RxdNa2y1JwlInQ]</ref> The town is named after the Appaloosa breed of [[horse]].

Appaloosa Plains is centered around pets and pet-related activities, with most households owning at least one pet. The countryside theme of the neighborhoodworld can be seen from the abundance of ranch-style houses with barns along with its hilltop, riverside location.
