'''Sunset Valley''' is the [[neighborhood]] shipped with ''[[The Sims 3]]''.
 
==Overview==
Sunset Valley is very large compared to the neighborhoods in previous ''[[The Sims (series)|The Sims]]'' games, having a total of 92 lots with various playable characters and about 86 in total pre-made. The main part of the town is the park, where Sims[[Sim]]s can have a picnic, go fishing, or take a stroll and maybe meet someone new; there areis also cinemasa local cinema, gymsa gym, restaurants, shops, pools, and other recreational facilities. Sims can now visit all their friends' and neighbors' homes and call up their friends with the new cell [[phone]], for a night on the town.
 
Sunset Valley mixes modern and futuristic building ideas with nostalgic architecture and design rooted in American suburbs of the 1950s. The town is very unique on all accounts and hosts a whopping 25 playable families. Sunset Valley is full of places to explore and has a very diverse cityscape, leaving players hours of fun while exploring alone.
 
The houses in Sunset Valley are diversely priced, but every little group of houses are generally similarly priced. For example, the homes by the public beach are generally cheap, making them homes for lower-middle class type Sims, although (if viewing the water as south), the further west you go the nicer they become, until they're more like upper-middle class type homes. Summerhill[[Summer Hill Court]] contains the largest, most expensive lots. The area directly behind city hall has some of the poorest houses, and behind that zone is a middle class area. Along the east side of Sunset Valley along [[Skyborough Boulevard]] are some very nice homes, probably for upper-middle class Sims.
[[File:Artigots3 9.jpg|A full view of Sunset Valley|thumb]]
There are 21 available empty lots for players to build on. They are priced from §1200 at the cheapest, to §14,700 as the most expensive. The amount of space (in squares) for building goes from 19x29 at the smallest to 60x60 at the largest. The most expensive lot, 15 Summer Hill Court, is on the same hill as the Landgraabs' and Alto's mansions (although if the Pets expansion pack has been installed, this lot may be taken up by the equestrian center).

==Mobile version==
Sunset Valley was totally different in the mobile version. The park in the middle of town was replaced with a small lake, and only a few neighborhoods and families from the PC version were found here.
In the mobile version, the neighborhood is totally different, with having only a few of the neighbourhoods from the PC version and the park is now a lake, with having smaller, fewer and different families.

==Trivia==
[[File:Sunsetvalley Secretmine.jpg|200px|thumb|Secret Mine in the Night.]]
[[File:Rock_mural_Sunset_Valley1.jpg|200px|thumb|Rock mural with the sun, plants, snails and snakes.]]
[[File:Rock_mural_Sunset_Valley2.jpg|200px|thumb|Rock mural depicting an alien attack on ancient Sims.]]
*The abandoned mine can be found close to Pinochle Point, there are glowing yellow eyes peeking out of it during the day and night.
*In the rocky gully in between [[Fishing spot#Crystal Springs|Crystal Springs]] and the [[Stadium|Llama Memorial Stadium]], there are archaic rock murals that depict snails, plants, snakes, [[aliens]] firing lasers from their spaceship, ancient Sims holding spears running away from the attacking aliens and monkey-like creatures approaching the alien ship.
*Many players believe that Sunset Valley is [[Pleasantview]] several decades before ''[[The Sims]]'', where it is called [[Old Town]]. Others believe it cannot be as [[Gunther Goth]], the founder of Pleasantview, would have been too young. Sunset Valley is set 50 years before ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and 25 years before ''The Sims''. Also, some believe that Sunset Valley is set on the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Coast_of_the_United_States:West Coast of the United States|West Coast]] because of the way the sun sets and rises. However, there is also a real-life city in Texas also named [[wikipedia:Sunset Valley, Texas|Sunset Valley]].
*In EA's Burnout Paradise, an area is also named Sunset Valley which may have given its name.
*As the Sunset Valley description states, there seems to be a rivalry between the Landgraabs and the Altos. Meanwhile, the [[Goth family|Goths]] are living elsewhere in town and seem to have nothing to do with it.
*There is a Simhenge located far back from [[Fishing spot#Pinochle Pond|Pinochle Pond]]  just across the hills in the outskirts of Sunset Valley. Nothing is much known about it other than being rich in deposits of iron, metal, gold and such. Though there are no major occurencesoccurrences happening in that part and it doesn't seem to have any connections with the [[Goth family|Goth family]]  even supposing it stands close to the Goth manor.
*The Roomies household may be a spoof of ''The Real World'' where different strangers, with very different personalities, live together.
*Many NPC service Sims in Sunset Valley share similar facial features, eye color, hair color and some clothing between each other. All of the NPC Sims have their voice set to Voice Type A for both males and females with the pitch dead center.
*The character [[Gobias Koffi]] is a spoof of the character Tobias Fünke on the television show ''[[Wikipedia:Arrested Development|Arrested Development]]''. The [[Funke family]] also shares his surname.
*Sunset Valley is mentioned in ''The Sims 4'', specifically when getting a [[postcard]] through the computer. It is mentioned how "everybody and their mothers used to live at Sunset Valley" and how times have changed, an easter egg directed at ''The Sims 3''.
**Additionally, there is a social interaction titled "Joke about Sunset Valley" under the funny category.
**Higher-level Sims in the [[law enforcement]] career (usually the Chief) will note their new officers to have "originated from Sunset Valley" if they become too casual with them.
