Requirements

This world requires the following expansion packs: World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life (so all but Showtime, Island Paradise and Into the Future). It does not require Stuff Packs, and there is no custom content.

In the library and some houses I used potted plants from the free Earth Day set released on The Sims 3 Store. It is entirely optional, and if you don't have it the plants will be removed or replaced with a base game one. Even if you are missing some EP, the items associated with it will be removed, but the world will still function.

The world has its own custom lighting, the same one you find in EA's Dragon Valley, but you don't need Dragon Valley for it to work. It's a very golden, warm light, and provides some pretty beautiful sunsets.

Lots

This world has 101 lots: 51 commercial, 32 residential, and 18 empty ones.

All rabbit holes from the base game, Late Night, Pets and Supernatural are included. Since the town is spread out across the island, there are two grocery stores/diners and two bookstores/spas.

The world features a library, a graveyard, a junkyard, an art gallery, a dry-cleaner, a consignment store, a nectary, a gym, a public pool, a horse ranch, an arcade/bowling alley, a beauty salon, a fire department, two cat jungles, two dog parks, three fishing spots, four beaches, and six parks of different sizes (including a festival lot). The town is roughly organized into neighborhoods, and I tried to include at least one hangout spot in each of them. All of the community lots are my original creations, but the salon might look familiar: it's a mirrored and modified version of the Serenity Retreat EA created for Sunlit Tides. The skating rink in the park near the nectary changes according to seasons.

Almost all the houses were built based on actual plans from various architectural sites (the credits for each are indicated in the lot descriptions). All of them are furnished and decorated. They come in different sizes (but mostly 20x30) and prices; 4 are starter homes, while the most expensive (Broken Bow) is around 236k Simoleons. Sometimes you may find empty rooms: it's by design so that you can do what you want with them. Some houses are already prepared to accommodate pets or even horses; in general, I'd say they are quite pet-friendly because many are single-story and have no stairs.

There is room in the world to add more lots, particularly on the road going to the nectary and the ranch area.

Population

There are about 60 Sims (evenly divided between males and females) and a dozen pets living in Brynmar, divided into 20 households each with its own story. Their ages cover all life stages from toddler to elder; none of them are occults. There are also 3 pregnancies in their early stages. Most Sims know at least one skill, have a job, and have relationships and friendships outside their household.

Not all the Sims were created by me: some families actually come from EA's Roaring Heights (say hello to the Capps and Thebes). Store content that came with them has been removed.

NPC Sims will be randomly generated by the game, so I recommend installing the Random Sim Fixes 2.0 mod by LazyDuchess to avoid them all looking the same.
