It was first announced on November 25, 2013. This world has a rich and lavish look to it, along with anArt ~~art~~Deco ~~deco~~architecture and ~~city~~a ~~themes~~downtown toarea ~~the~~with ~~whole~~high-rise ~~world~~buildings. It features brand new locations, features and new characters. ==Description== Line 42: ==Cultural references== This world seems to take after a theme of 1920s to 1940s-inspired fashion and architecture, and the name of the town is probably a reference to the term "[[wikipedia:Roaring Twenties\|Roaring Twenties]]", which refers to ~~American~~Western -(English ~~and, to a lesser extent, Canadian, British~~speaking and ~~Western~~ European )- society and culture in the 1920s. The 'heights' is possibly referring to the height of the buildings. A fair amount of Roaring Heights' citizens are references to famous people from the 1920s to 1940s, either by name, or as a direct spoof. The layout and architecture of the world is based on Miami, New York, and Chicago according to SimGuruTaterTot and SimGuruBrett on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvQEL6IiL1Y The Sims 3 Live Broadcast - Roaring Heights Gameplay video]. The city hall is based on Buffalo City Hall and the lighthouse is based on a lighthouse in Kálfshamarsvík, Iceland. ==Lots== {{Main\|List of uninhabited Roaring Heights lots}} There are a total of 97 lots in Roaring Heights: 35 commercial, 21 empty and 41 residential lots. === Residential === Line 458 ⟶ 459: === Commercial === {\|class="sortable plaintable zebra" style="width: 660px;" \|+ \|- ! scope="col"\|Name Line 612 ⟶ 613: \|§43,280 \|No Visitors Allowed \|~~Mlitary~~Military Base \|- \|Oceanside Cafe Line 642 ⟶ 643: \|Mausoleum \|- \|Roaring Heights Plaza / Roaring Heights Festival Ground<ref>If the player has [[The Sims 3: Seasons]], the lot can be converted into a Festival Ground by downloading it from ~~SimGuruSmitty~~SimGuruBrett's [http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=7855023 exchange page] for free</ref> \|64x64 \|35 Van Alen Street Line 715 ⟶ 716: === Empty === {\|class="sortable plaintable zebra" style="width: 660px;" \|+ \|- ! scope="col"\|Address Line 971 ⟶ 972: :''Hector and his wife Andromache are pleased as punch to be reunited with their son Consort in Roaring Heights.

''The Sims 3'' Store released it on a separate boardwalk venue. Players can use the [[SimPoint]]s that come with the gold edition of the world to purchase it. * Sims can [[WooHoo]] in the Fixer-Upper Car. This is the first time since ''[[The Sims 2]]'' that Sims can WooHoo in any car. * Despite being called a city, the world is still considered a suburb in-game, meaning [[Bridgeport]] is still the only official city in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]''. Concurrently, despite mentions of the silver screen in character descriptions, Roaring Heights does not have a [[film studio]], also a ''Late Night'' exclusive. This was likely done to maintain compatibility with the base game. Players who wish to have it be considered a city will need to modify the game files themselves, and players who want a film studio will have to import the ''Late Night'' film studio rabbit hole in Edit Town mode. * Roaring Heights is the first world to have an officially open [[Same-sex relationship\|same-sex couple]] in the series, specifically [[Dylan Shear\|Dylan]] and [[Audrey Shear]]. Additionally, [[Mark Davis-Welles]] and [[Rita Davis-Welles]], while married as a straight couple, are also in a same-sex relationship with [[Michael Dandy]] and [[Virginia Supine]], respectively[[File:Roaring Heights TS4 Easter egg.jpg\|thumb\|220x220px\|Renders of ''The Sims 4'' on Roaring Heights city hall]] * There's an [[List of Easter eggs in The Sims\|Easter egg]] of ''[[The Sims 4]]'' on the [[city hall]], where the players can see the renders of Sims from ''The Sims 4''. * The Riverside Pool might be a reference to the [[Unreleased neighborhoods\|unreleased neighborhood]] of ''[[The Sims 2]]'', Riverside. * ~~Despite~~Like ~~mentions~~with of[[Sunlit Tides]], the ~~silver~~bios ~~screen~~for ineach ~~character~~Sim ~~descriptions,~~in Roaring Heights ~~does~~is ~~not~~the same, except that males and females have ~~a [[film~~different ~~studio]].~~bios for their gender * The city hall bears a striking resemblance to the [[wikipedia:Buffalo City Hall\|Buffalo City Hall]]. * Roaring Heights is the only world to feature teen versions of new adult clothes and new toddler clothes, notably a turtleneck suit for males and a nautical dress for females, and an adorable onesy for toddler males and females.[[File:Fiery Facade description.png\|thumb]] * Roaring Heights is mentioned in the object description of the "Fiery Facade" fireplace from ''[[The Sims 4: Vintage Glamour Stuff]]''. The fireplace was a part of the city hall in Roaring Heights and was given as a gift to the mayor, but it disappeared after his untimely death. It is said that the fireplace got to an architectural black market. ==Gallery== <tabber> Screenshots = <gallery> Roaring Heights screenshot 3.jpg Line 1,061 ⟶ 1,067: Roaring Heights TS4 Easter egg.jpg\|''The Sims 4'' Easter egg on the city hall </gallery> \|-\|Videos = <gallery> File:The Sims 3 Roaring Heights - Official Gameplay Trailer Line 1,069 ⟶ 1,075: ==References== {{reflist}} {{S-start}} {{S-bef\|before=''[[Midnight Hollow]]''\|release=September 26, 2013}} {{S-ttl\|title=Worlds in ''[[The Sims 3]]''}} {{S-non\|reason=Last world\|reason2=for ''[[The Sims 3]]''}} {{S-end}} {{TS3Worlds}} Line 1,076 ⟶ 1,088: [[ru:Рорин Хайтс]] [[nl:Roaring Heights]] [[pl:Roaring Heights]] [[Category:Roaring Heights]]
