'''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)|''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.<ref>[
There are three types of Oasis Landing: normal, utopian and dystopian.<ref>[https://twitter.com/CurtisParadis/status/370172224575377408 Time Almanac]</ref> 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==
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 ''[[wikipedia:Futurama|Futurama]]''. [[Chelsea Gateway]] and [[Gladys]] might be a spoof of Chell and GLaDOS from the ''[[wikipedia:Portal (series)|Portal]]'' series, while the Mere-Wilkins family seems to be a parody of [[wikipedia:Doctor Who|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 [[wikipedia:The Fifth Element|The Fifth Element]]. Another homeless Sim, [[Martin McFleet]], is a reference to the character [[wikipedia:Marty McFly|Marty McFly]] from the ''[[wikipedia:Back to the Future (franchise)|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 ''[[wikipedia:A Song of Ice and Fire|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 ''[[wikipedia:The Jetsons|The Jetsons]]''.
This world contains several different references to the ''Star Wars'' series, for example the [[Orey family]] may be a parody of the [[w:c:starwars:House of Organa|Organa family]], which comprises Bail, Breha and (Princess) Leia Organa, while the [[Larson family (Oasis Landing)|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 [[wikipedia:Obi-Wan Kenobi|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 ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunger_Games_(film) The Hunger Games]''
