|caption = 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 Mithrilen and O'Connell families for control of town.

== Trivia ==
*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
*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, [http://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:65646 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 [http://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:65137 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 [[Mixology (The Sims 3)|mixologist]].
*The Hooley and Dolan families are a parody of the tales [[wikipedia:Robin Hood|Robin Hood]] and [[wikipedia:Little Red Riding Hood|Little Red Riding Hood]], respectively.
*The Sackholme family is a parody of Sookie and Jason Stackhouse from the
*The O'Connell family is either a parody of
*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 [[:File:Door to Nowhere.png|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.
