Oasis Landing (Dystopian)


After decades of selfish and irresponsible decisions, Sims strained Oasis Landing to the limit and beyond. Trash heaps block the sidewalks, meteors pulverize the landscape, and dangerous Rifts have formed beckoning adventurers to climb inside to find their treasures.

Oasis Landing (Utopian)


Inspired by centuries of whimsical stories, the Sims of Oasis Landing built a paradise! Flowers bearing Dews dot the landscape and nobody can account for strange buried gold being found about town. The locals walk around joyfully, greeting each other with Whimsical waves.

Onomatology

Oasis Landing is a futuristic sub-world that was shipped with The Sims 3: Into the Future. It is set in the distant future, relative to other worlds in The Sims series. Sims can engineer children, something that is not possible anywhere else. They can buy (or build) a Plumbot, or sell one to the masses, set up a digiblast display, or even buy new high-tech stuff from the imports gallery.

Unlike other sub-worlds in The Sims 3, Sims are able to stay in Oasis Landing indefinitely.^[1]

There are three types of Oasis Landing: normal, utopian and dystopian.^[2] The player starts out in the normal future, but can alter it to a utopian or dystopian future by tampering with certain aspects of life in the present.

Cultural references[edit | edit source]

Like several other worlds, Oasis Landing contains various references to real world culture, in this case mainly science-fiction themed media. For example, Fryderyk Rama, Lilah Turni, and Bend0 might be a parody of Philip J. Fry, Turanga Leela, and Bender respectively from the animated sitcom Futurama. Chelsea Gateway and Gladys might be a spoof of Chell and GLaDOS from the Portal series, while the Mere-Wilkins family seems to be a parody of the Doctor's married Companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams, along with their daughter Melody Pond, and the homeless Sims Samantha Loo and Colby Texas are references to the characters Leeloo and Korben Dallas from The Fifth Element. Another homeless Sim, Martin McFleet, is a reference to the character Marty McFly from the Back to the Future series. Other families that reference popular culture include the Bannister Family, who appear to be a parody of House Lannister from A Song of Ice and Fire series, the Castle family, who appear to be a parody of the main family in Castle, the Dunes, who are a reference to the Fremen from the Frank Herbert's Dune series and the Planesons, who might be a parody of the Jetson family from the animated sitcom The Jetsons.

This world contains several different references to the Star Wars series, for example the Orey family may be a parody of the Organa family, which comprises Bail, Breha and (Princess) Leia Organa, while the Larson family may be a parody of the Lars family, which comprises of (Uncle) Owen Lars, (Aunt) Beru Lars, and Luke Skywalker. Bennett Obi is most likely a parody of Obi-Wan 'Ben' Kenobi.

There are also several references to The Hunger Games. The architecture of the town, as well as the fashions of many of the characters who live in it, seems to have been inspired by The Capitol in The Hunger Games series, particularly the movies. The Mannins are a reference to the types of families living in District 12, and incidentally, the description states that they moved to the Mining District, which happens to be District 12's main industry.
