Description[edit | edit source]

Welcome to Dragon Valley, a land of myth and fantasy. It's been years since any adult dragons have terrorized this peaceful town but it's not yet time to rest. The elven Sims of Dragon Valley are working to ensure that their military is up to par, their citizens are prepared for disaster, and that the scientific techniques they've used to keep the dragonlings small stay intact. The skies may be clear for now, but beneath the surface a conflict is brewing between the Mithrillen and O'Connell families for control of the town. It's tradition vs. progress: on which side will you stand?

Backstory[edit | edit source]

Open Your Eyes!

You all walk around with dragons on your arms as pets. But don't you see? We're just recovering; we've finally rebuilt after the original Dragons ravaged our land.

The O'Connells "land" in our world with their way of taming dragons and we've been following them ever since! When it was we Mithrilens that used to keep the town safe!"

Don't let them pull the wool over your eyes. Just look at the dragons. They are supposed to be "babies" but each one does something more dastardly than the last!

This will only end in misery. Let me help you. The Mithrilen family knows our ways, our traditions, and our bond with the land. Let me guide you to safety, before it's too late.

Mithrilen for Mayor
Before it's too late.

Delaney family 92 Dagda Drive

§1,200

Difficulty: 2

Emma Delaney, Dorren Delaney

Dolan household 24 Clover Drive

§4,000

Difficulty: 2

Finnigan family 82 Claddagh Court

Difficulty: 1

Aaron Finnigan

Aaron never believed this gold at the end of a rainbow business, but he can't help but notice that good things have a habit of coming his way. Successful in business and a serious relationship with the beautiful Siobahn Murphy? Maybe he is lucky...

Flanagan family 15 Clover Drive

§900

Difficulty: 1

Hugh Grey

Hugh Grey lives in quiet isolation and he likes it that way. Out at his lighthouse he can spend his days writing novels, maintaining his garden, and keeping the waters safe. He likes the peace of his lonely life, but will a new romance with Nessie Lochlan spark some color in all of the grey?

Hooley family 26 Clover Drive

§700

Difficulty: 2

Marian Hooley, Robin Hooley

Difficulty: 2

Ava Kelly, Sean Kelly

MacAnna family 76 Shillelagh Street

§1,500

Difficulty: 2

Shannon MacAnna, Teagan MacAnna

Teagan is the exact opposite of her sweet, innocent sister, Shannon. Dark and devious to the bone, she does whatever she wants with reckless abandon and no consideration for others. Who cares if there is no "I" in Team? There is an "I" in Mine and that's all that matters.

MacGrath family 77 Shillelagh Street

§5,000

Difficulty: 1

Bradan MacGrath

Bradan is the ultimate champion and the one that everyone pays to see. He can vanquish any foe and conquer any competitor with ease. He's number one and always will be. It's probably best not to get in his way.

McCann family 37 Aibell Avenue

§4,000

Difficulty: 1

Lorna McCann

Lorna is the source of all that is good in Dragon Valley. No one knows her true age and it's almost as if she's lived forever. She's loving, kind, and always knows how to cure what ails you. Her healing isn't just homeopathic or scientific, it's practically magic.

Mithrilen family 1 Mithrilen Manor

§8,000

Difficulty: 3

Fintan Mithrilen, Aine Mithrilen, Riordan Mithrilen

Fintan still holds bitterness in his heart over the Mithrilen family being unseated as leaders in town. He still can't believe how quickly everyone took to the foreign O'Connell family and he believes that they should have stayed on guard rather than letting little dragons into their lives. He will protect his town no matter what, but will his anger and obsession hurt his family in the long run?

Murphy family 74 Shillelagh Street

§1,000

Difficulty: 1

Siobahn Murphy

Siobahn is beautiful, talented, and a virtuoso when plucking strings. Her songs bring joy and laughter to everyone who listens, almost as if they're in a trance. She spends most of her time perfecting her music because you never know when you'll need a good entrancing song...

O'Connell family 100 O'Connell Heights

§10,000

Difficulty: 4

Morida O'Connell, Seamus O'Connell, Shauna O'Connell, Brien O'Connell, Aiden O'Connell

Ordhen family 90 Dagda Drive

§700

Difficulty: 1

Daric Ordhen

Daric loves his garden. There's nothing more he loves than his garden. He would spend all of his time in his garden if he could, but eating, sleeping, and other human "necessities" get in the way. If only he could be a statue, then he could stay in his garden forever.

O'Reilly family 61 Ardmore Avenue

§2,500

Difficulty: 3

Fiona O'Reilly, Morrigan O'Reilly, Conor O'Reilly, Chloe O'Reilly

Women! Women! Women! They're all that Conor sees. He opens his eyes to his youngest daughter vying for his attention and closes his eyes to his harried wife hoping for some rest, with a sprinkle of his teenage daughter rolling her eyes at him in between. What a life! He's overwhelmed, but he wouldn't change a minute of it.

O'Shea family 85 Deidre Drive

§2,000

Difficulty: 2

Breandan O'Shea, Kearney O'Shea

When Breandan joined law enforcement, Kearney join the Military! Kearney thinks he's the best brother, but then again so does Brendan! When will they learn that they're really quite the same?

Prendergast household 6 Mithrilen Manor

§1,200

Difficulty: 6

Sophie Dwyer, Nora Lawless, Orion Lawless, Cassidy Predergast, Dillon Lawless, Corren Dwyer, Cara Gallgher

Cassidy was never able to have children of her own, but it didn't matter. There were always children in town without a parent. Parents lost to Dragon fires, house fires, fire fires.. .Times are tough and orphans need love too.

Sackholme family 75 Shillelagh Street

§1,200

Difficulty: 2

Susie Sackholme, Mason Sackholme

Lots of things always seem to happen around Susie & Mason. Though well-intentioned, they usually fall prey to some scheme or attack and danger seems to follow them wherever they go. That doesn't keep the men and women in town from being hopelessly attracted to them, however. Some think it's because there may have been fairy in their blood line.

Walsh family 45 Brea Bend

§2,000

Difficulty: 1

Aislin Walsh

Aislin Walsh makes some of the best food in town, but isn't the most stable person around. Everyone knows how productive the farms are in their secluded town, so where did Aislin get all of this meat?

§5,000

Difficulty: 2

Trivia[edit | edit source]

On May 10, 2013, Maxis set up a preview page on their website for Dragon Valley. The page had a glitch that allowed some people to purchase and download an incomplete version of the world. The glitch was soon fixed, but Maxis staff strongly recommended that players uninstall the incomplete version.^[3]
The theatre in Dragon Valley is based on the World Theatre and its counterpart in SimCity, both of which are based on Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London, England.
There is an additional venue available from the Store, The Duke of Bows Renaissance Faire, which was designed specifically for use in Dragon Valley. However, it must be purchased separately and is not included in the Gold Edition. Instead, buying the Gold Edition from the Store grants the purchaser enough additional SimPoints to buy the venue, and the write-up for the package explicitly recommends this.
The Gold Edition version sold in the Store includes an extra set called Celtic Lands. The physical retail edition of the World includes an additional download code in the box, which must be redeemed separately in order to access the Celtic Lands extra features. The box edition does not, however, include additional SimPoints, as the Store edition does, making the box edition somewhere between the Standard and Gold editions from the Store.
The names Dagda, Lugh, Brighid, are taken from Celtic Mythology.
Morrigan O'Reilly shares her name with one of the most important Goddesses of Celtic Mythology.
There's a street named Shillelagh Street, which is one of the drinks served by a mixologist.
The Hooley and Dolan families are a parody of the tales Robin Hood and Little Red Riding Hood, respectively.
The Sackholme family is a parody of Sookie and Jason Stackhouse from the True Blood TV series.
The O'Connell family is either a parody of Mérida and her family from Disney/Pixar's Brave, or a parody of Dragonriders of Pern's Connell family.
The MacAnna sisters could be a reference to either Lewis Carroll's, or Tim Burton's movie adaptation of, the White Queen & Red Queen, which are often portrayed respectively as good (Shannon) and bad (Teagan).
Aislin Walsh is probably a spoof of Mrs. Lovett, from Sweeney Todd. She may also be a female spoof of Sweeney Todd himself, given her description.
In The Sims 4, sometimes a sim gets a description of: "By my troth! My newest penpal resides in Dragon Valley!" when checking for penpal replies.
Dragon Valley is mentioned in Door to Nowhere object from The Sims 4: Realm of Magic.

It is unusual as to why Jennifer and Johnny Burb resides in this world as an adult and not Jeff Pleasant, Diane Pleasant, Brad Burb or Tiffany Burb as a child as The Sims 3 takes place before the events of The Sims, meaning Jennifer would not be born yet. However, Barnacle Bay does take place after the events of The Sims 2 so it's possible that Sunlit Tides takes place between the events of The Sims and The Sims 2 as Lucy Burb is not born yet and Jennifer and Johnny are not married yet, however there is no confirmation of this.

- An adult Daniel Pleasant and Mary-Sue Pleasant also appear in Sunlit Tides without Diane or Jeff, which could also put Dragon Valley in the same possible timeline as Sunlit Tides as it should be noted Angela Pleasant and Lilith Pleasant are not born yet.
