ALVERDINE SIMS

“Boroughsburg is an up-and-coming neighborhood in New York City that straddles the delicate line between working-class grittiness and rarefied hipsterdom. Enjoy spectacular views of Manhattan from the waterfront while live music, outdoor markets, and art shows brighten atmospheric cobblestone streets lined with old brick warehouses and trendy lofts.

Not your stuff? You could always go for gyros, pierogies or matzo ball soup at the local diners, get to know the old-timers, or just dance the night away.”

Boroughsburg has been updated with a wonderful curation of residential and community lots, and improvements have been made to nearly every aspects of the world!

But in addition to these improvements, a customized populated savegame has also been created—this is Boroughsburg’s Story Mode—and with more than 80 diverse sims (and many more townies), this savegame allows you to immediately jump right into Boroughsburg—right into the tangle and drama of these sims’ lives!

Boroughsburg is a mashup of DUMBO, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Long Island City, and Astoria- but is open enough that you can build whatever bit of New York City you want in it. 

Boroughsburg is a medium city world, with a total of 73 lots.

Nearly all lots are filled in, but some lots are left unbuilt at your discretion to fill in.

The world also contains two dive lots, three docks, a base camp, and a homeworld university! Perfect for travellers!

Lot assignment has been carefully selected to ensure that nearly all community lots are regularly populated.

Uninhabited base world, but includes an inhabited & customized savegame. I highly recommend playing in the savegame first.

Should run relatively smoothly on mid-high-tier computers. Created on Windows 7 | Processor Intel® Core™ i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz | Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 | RAM 32 GB

Built on Patch level 1.67.
