Champs Les Sims is a pre-made destination sub-world in The Sims 3: World Adventures, alongside Al Simhara and Shang Simla.

Overview[]

Champs Les Sims

Champs Les Sims was settled towards the end of the Medieval period and has a rich history and culture. The town is modeled on rustic small towns in France and features activities and items that reflect French traditions. It has brick buildings and yellowish pastures. It is an excellent grape-growing country, and has a strong sense of history about it. Sims can learn how to produce (non-alcoholic) nectar here. Sims can explore landmark tombs and hidden tombs throughout this world, thereby undertaking adventures. There are numerous pre-made families in Champs Les Sims, although they all unfortunately lack description texts and money.

A trip to Champs Les Sims for one Sim costs 1900 simoleons (for three days). It is the most expensive vacation destination. While visiting Champs Les Sims, Sims stay at a base camp, unless they have a level three visa and have purchased a vacation home.

All France

If a male Sim tries for a baby with a female Sim from another country while at home, the female Sim will immediately return home and the child will be in the child stage already.

Features[]

  • Sims kiss each other's cheeks to greet.
  • Sims who live here all have the inheritable French Culture hidden trait.
  • Players' Sims can make nectar.
  • Museum-style tomb adventures.

Comparisons to Paris[]

"Champs Les Sims" is French for "The Sims Fields," and is a reference to the Champs-Élysées, a famous vibrant avenue in Paris. Some people might also relate Champs Les Sims to the French city of Nîmes, famous for a Roman aqueduct that resembles the viaduct at the edge of town. The village also seems to be based on the French town of Druyes-les-Belles-Fontaines, which also features a viaduct. Additionally, the bridge crossing the river looks almost identical to the Pont Neuf, the oldest standing bridge in Paris. In Champs Les Sims, there is a viaduct with a train track running on it. Occasionally a train passes by from one tunnel to another. The train might be a reference to the Orient Express, and its model is reused from The Sims 2: FreeTime Desiderata Valley neighbourhood.

Like the other two destination worlds in The Sims 3: World Adventures, Champs Les Sims has been condensed into a small town due to world size limitations.

  • The Eiffel Tower can be seen from Champs Les Sims, suggesting that it is near its urban center (~15 km). However, from that same distance in Paris it is still urban.
  • The river that flows through Champs Les Sims widens more like a lake outside of the world. However, the Seine river does not expand within Paris.
  • Chateau du Landgraab is made for The Sims 3 lore.
  • The Forgotten Burial Mound has elements that are not French origin, such as a miniature Stonehenge at its top.
  • While La Gallerie d'Art is base on the Louvre Museum in Paris, it is much smaller and it lacks a Pyramid court. Louvre Museum also does not have an underground tomb.

NPCs generated in Champs Les Sims do not have this trait, instead they have the hidden trait connected to their job (e.g. Pizza Appreciator for Pizza Delivery), and other Sims such as Explorers have no hidden traits at all. None of the Sims introduced in World Adventures have set Lifetime Wishes, these are all selected at random.

Deceased Sims[]

The Sims 3: World Adventures (smartphone)[]

The Sims 3: World Adventures (smartphone) allows the player to send their sim abroad, either for §150 for an economy flight, or §250 for a first class flight. France is one of the three locations.

In France, a sim can complete two tours: Eiffel Tower[1] and Arc de Triomphe[2]. Both tours are free, and consist of a presentation of various images of the site along with fun facts about it.

A sim can visit the Restaurant to purchase recipes. They can also visit the Market to buy produce, buy street food, and practice bartering, and visit the Souvenir Booth to purchase French furniture.

  • Champs Les Sims is the only one of the three holiday destinations to have a castle, whereas Egypt and China have a palace.
  • Champs Les Sims has the most vacation home lots of all destinations.
  • During certain loading screens, music from The Sims: Makin' Magic is played.
  • The lampposts are based on some in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, west of Paris.
  • The Lily Lane - Lily Court intersection appears to have a random piece of Sunset Valley-type road that goes nowhere.[3] It was not reported about when World Adventures was initially released, with the earliest known notice of it being in 2015.[4]
  • In French writing outside of the Sims franchise, the word les in mid-sentence is not usually spelled with a capital L. However, in contrast to Académie Le Tour, the French official translation kept Maxis' spelling.
