'''Twinbrook''' is a [[Neighborhood#The Sims 3|townworld]] which was shipped with ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]''. It is most likely named after the twin rivers that flow on either side of the richer part of the town, near households such as the [[Whelohff family|Whelohffs]].

Twinbrook is situated on a bayou (swamp), with many bridges and may be in the state of [[Simisouri]] (according to DeAndre WolfWolfe's bio). Much of the town is designed in a French style like many bayou towns. For example, the town library is a classic French design with two porticos, one at both entrances.

According to a GamespotGameSpot hands-on, Twinbrook 'is a fictitious bayou town not unlike a backwoods suburb of Louisiana.'<ref name="Spotlight On">[http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/thesims3ambitions/news.html?sid=6260981&om_act=convert&om_clk=newsfeatures&tag=newsfeatures%3Btitle%3B1 Spotlight On - The Sims 3: Ambitions]</ref> Players who attended the UK hands on event reported that Twinbrook is 'a huge new town, which had been flooded, and is now half-swamp half-town. The swampy areas are very dank and misty. The other side of Twinbrook has brand new shops such as the laundromat, the tattoo parlor and stylist shop and much more. I really enjoyed having a look around Twinbrook, and the place looks really great.

They've also re-done most of the rabbit holes, such as the diner.'<ref name-="Get Hands-On">[http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/sims-3/1067984-get-hands-sims-3-ambitions-4.html#post14908046 Get Hands-On With The Sims 3™ Ambitions!]</ref> It may be assumed that Simslaus Creek references [[Wikipedia:Stanislaus County, California|Stanislaus County]], a county located in California, or the [[Wikipedia:Stanislaus River|Stanislaus River]] located in said county.

Interestingly, all the pre-made deceased Sims in Twinbrook are pale green if resurrected. They also have gray hair, are all barefoot, and most (if not all) like the color grey. In [http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/75/212002.page#2600444 this post] on thesims3.com, SimGuruLily says that this was intentional, but does not say what the intent was. It is very possible that this is a reference to classic comic book supervilliansupervillain [[wikipedia:Solomon_Grundy_Solomon Grundy (comics)|Solomon Grundy]], who was resurrected after being "buried" in a swamp, emerging as a green-skinned, white-haired, bare-footed demi-zombie.

Twinbrook is technically an island. This fact is hard to discover, but in gameplay, upon visiting map view and pressing tab, you are able to view a wider range of the town. Unusually, if you follow the river near the [[Racket family|Rackets]]' house, there seem to be buildings which look like skyscrapers. Some people think it is a reference to Bridgeport. The only other worlds which have this are [[Champs Les Sims]], [[Bridgeport]] and [[BridgeportSims University]].

*The water level at the center of Twinbrook is higher than the ocean level, and it's considered as lake. Players cannot place a lot or houseboat on the lake, nor can Sims use [[boat]] on it with ''[[The Sims 3: Island Paradise|Island Paradise]]''.

*There's a sculpture '''named Twisting Fingers in '''[[The fromSims 3: ''Late Night]]''. The description mentions the world's longest fingernails belongbelonging to someone from Twinbrook.

*The lot the ''' Stary Commmunity School '''is located on  is called ''''Westlake School''' '', which could have been a mistake made by the world's creators when they renamed the rabbithole.
