Just so you know, this version of Vice City has yet to be completed so there won’t be any other Sims characters walking around, but you can still appreciate the love and attention to detail that went into this creation.

The story behind this custom world in The Sims 3 is sort of dark, but essentially it was a last-ditch effort for the citizens of Simplanet. After most of the world became uninhabitable, this perfect miniature island was artificially created for people who wanted a safe place to live.

Even though the island of Simmington is tiny, the people have everything they could ever need here –there’s a movie theatre, a gym, and restaurants to shop at.

Unfortunately, there are still some criminals that found their way into this island, but don’t let that stop you from enjoying your time on this miniature custom world. You can check out Simmington and download it right here.
