==Description==
[[File:LuckyPalmsLogo.png|75px|left]]'''Explore an All-New World – Discover the Wonders of Lucky Palms Today!'''
''Rest and relaxation is the name of the game at The Sims 3 Lucky Palms! With ample parks, recreation locales, and a thriving culinary scene, you'll find yourself on an oasis of green amid shifting sands. This desert enclave offers manicured gardens, modern estates, and cozy abodes nestled on the banks of a pristine lake. At the heart of town lies a mysterious well that is said to grant wishes to those who are pure of heart…what will you wish for?''
'''All New''': ''The Wishing Well –Does your Sim long for Love? Wealth? Power and Fame? Perhaps they yearn for the pitter patter of little feet, or maybe they just want to be happy… The Wishing Well can help your Sim achieve all of these things and more! Just toss a coin and make a wish and see if dreams come true...''
==Overview==
Lucky Palms is a small resort town set in an oasis, modeled on Palm Springs, California, a real-life desert resort and a famous playground for the rich and famous in the 1950s and 1960s, an inspiration that can be seen in the architecture and the abundance of palm trees and wind turbines.
Lucky Palms is actually two towns in one, segregated by a highway; on one side is Lucky Palms, set at the edge of a beautiful blue lake, and on the other side rests a dried up lake with a small collection of houses and abandoned community lots surrounding it. There is also a gas station, a pharmacy and a yacht club that have been abandoned and converted into [[residential lot]]s. A large percentage of the world's lots are empty, giving the player freedom of mind to build as they please. If ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons|Seasons]]'' is installed, the Civic Center Park behind the City Hall will be replaced with [[festival grounds]].
The town features two returning Sims from [[Pleasantview]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]'': [[Darren Dreamer]], who is living by himself, and his future wife [[Darleen Matlapin]], living with her parents [[Mariana Matlapin|Mariana]] and [[Omar Matlapin|Omar]].
There is a [[wishing well#The Sims 3 Store|wishing well]] in the middle of the town, located in the Botanic Garden, just in front of [[city hall]].
[[Child]]ren and [[teen]]agers in Lucky Palms all have pre-set C grades at school at the start of the game.
==Backstory==
[[File:Backstory Render LP.png|right]]
'''[[Darren Dreamer]]'''
Looking for love in Lucky Palms!
Within 3 miles of City Hall, Lucky Palms
:Relationship: Never Married
:Have Kids: No
:Want Kids: With the right woman!
:Profession: Artist!
Darren Dreamer here, artist in residence to the fabulous town of Lucky Palms! And by artist I mean REAL artist, not the bumming on my best friends couch hopefuls! I am a single adult male whose interests include painting, computer games, and preparing grilled cheese sandwiches. I don't really enjoy spending much time outdoors, but I do love painting landscapes!
Something I love about our town of Lucky Palms is how many unique and beautiful things there are to paint. Whether it's the rich orange and reds of the mountains, the desert green on the skin of the cactus, or the rising sun's reflection on the surface of the lake our surroundings are bursting with natural beauty and vibrant color!
The Blooming Cactus Bistro offers the best views of the city at sunset and my place to grab a bite and a bit of inspiration. Are you looking to be inspired? If so, you can find me at 59 Gobi Road. I look forward to meeting you!
