Welcome to Dragon Valley, a land of myth and fantasy. It's been years since any adult dragons have terrorized this peaceful town but it's not yet time to rest. The elven Sims of Dragon Valley are working to ensure that their military is up to par, their citizens are prepared for disaster, and that the scientific techniques they've used to keep the dragonlings small stay intact. The skies may be clear for now, but beneath the surface a conflict is brewing between the Mithrilen and O'Connell families for control of town. It's tradition vs. progress; on which side will you stand?

Dragon Valley Logo

Welcome to Dragon Valley, a land of myth and fantasy. It's been years since any adult dragons have terrorized this peaceful town but it's not yet time to rest. The elven Sims of Dragon Valley are working to ensure that their military is up to par, their citizens are prepared for disaster, and that the scientific techniques they've used to keep the dragonlings small stay intact. The skies may be clear for now, but beneath the surface a conflict is brewing between the Mithrillen and O'Connell families for control of the town. It's tradition vs. progress: on which side will you stand?

Backstory[]

Backstory Render DV
Open Your Eyes!

You all walk around with dragons on your arms as pets. But don't you see? We're just recovering; we've finally rebuilt after the original Dragons ravaged our land.

The O'Connells "land" in our world with their way of taming dragons and we've been following them ever since! When it was we Mithrilens that used to keep the town safe!"

Don't let them pull the wool over your eyes. Just look at the dragons. They are supposed to be "babies" but each one does something more dastardly than the last!

This will only end in misery. Let me help you. The Mithrilen family knows our ways, our traditions, and our bond with the land. Let me guide you to safety, before it's too late.

Mithrilen for Mayor
Before it's too late.

§800
Difficulty: 2

Riley Cromos has been living the hard life raising his daughter alone.

§1,200
Difficulty: 2
Emma Delaney, Dorren Delaney

§4,000
Difficulty: 2
Wynn Byrne, Finn Dolan, Sarah Dolan
Finn never imagined that he'd marry the girl that he rescued from a vicious wolf attack all of those years ago, but here he is living with an elderly grandmother and a beautiful wife with the affinity for red hoods. Now that they're expecting their first child he wonders if it's time to increase his vigilant watch for danger or begin to let down his guard?
§2,300
Difficulty: 3
Maeve Eames, Martin Eames, Liam Eames

With another little one on the way, the question is will they settle or will they sail?
§5,000
Difficulty: 1
Aaron Finnigan
Aaron never believed this gold at the end of a rainbow business, but he can't help but notice that good things have a habit of coming his way. Successful in business and a serious relationship with the beautiful Siobahn Murphy? Maybe he is lucky...
§2,000
Difficulty: 1
Quinn Flanagan
Playing the fool is simple when you have an ulterior motive. Quinn uses his charm and humor to get close to Sims for their secrets! He's the town's gossip columnist and gossip comes easy when you make people laugh.
§900
Difficulty: 1
Hugh Grey
Hugh Grey lives in quiet isolation and he likes it that way. Out at his lighthouse he can spend his days writing novels, maintaining his garden, and keeping the waters safe. He likes the peace of his lonely life, but will a new romance with Nessie Lochlan spark some color in all of the grey?
§700
Difficulty: 2
Marian Hooley, Robin Hooley
Robin loves the common man and will do anything he can to help, illegal or not. He and his wife Marian have little money and few possessions because he keeps giving them away! He has good intentions, but Marian hopes to teach him that stealing isn't the way to go.
§1,500
Difficulty: 2
Ava Kelly, Sean Kelly
Ava Kelly is young, fierce, and wanting to make a name for herself in town. That name is Kelly; Ava Kelly. Sean loves his driven wife and he'll do anything to help her get ahead. Even if that means making a name for himself just to stay at her side.
§1,000
Difficulty: 1
Nessie Lochlan
The Loch Ness Monster is real! Or is it? Nessie is an aspiring journalist and her star is rising!

§1,500
Difficulty: 2
Shannon MacAnna, Teagan MacAnna
Teagan is the exact opposite of her sweet, innocent sister, Shannon. Dark and devious to the bone, she does whatever she wants with reckless abandon and no consideration for others. Who cares if there is no "I" in Team? There is an "I" in Mine and that's all that matters.
§5,000
Difficulty: 1
Bradan MacGrath

§4,000
Difficulty: 1
Lorna McCann
Lorna is the source of all that is good in Dragon Valley. No one knows her true age and it's almost as if she's lived forever. She's loving, kind, and always knows how to cure what ails you. Her healing isn't just homeopathic or scientific, it's practically magic.
§8,000
Difficulty: 3
Fintan Mithrilen, Aine Mithrilen, Riordan Mithrilen
Fintan still holds bitterness in his heart over the Mithrilen family being unseated as leaders in town. He still can't believe how quickly everyone took to the foreign O'Connell family and he believes that they should have stayed on guard rather than letting little dragons into their lives. He will protect his town no matter what, but will his anger and obsession hurt his family in the long run?
§1,000
Difficulty: 1
Siobahn Murphy
Siobahn is beautiful, talented, and a virtuoso when plucking strings. Her songs bring joy and laughter to everyone who listens, almost as if they're in a trance. She spends most of her time perfecting her music because you never know when you'll need a good entrancing song...
§10,000
Difficulty: 4
Morida O'Connell, Seamus O'Connell, Shauna O'Connell, Brien O'Connell, Aiden O'Connell
The O'Connell family has been leading the town since their great-great-grandfather Captain O'Connell landed here and helped the town tame the dragons. They love caring for the town, but they are starting to wonder if democracy isn't more the way.
§700
Difficulty: 1
Daric Ordhen
Daric loves his garden. There's nothing more he loves than his garden. He would spend all of his time in his garden if he could, but eating, sleeping, and other human "necessities" get in the way. If only he could be a statue, then he could stay in his garden forever.
§2,500
Difficulty: 3
Fiona O'Reilly, Morrigan O'Reilly, Conor O'Reilly, Chloe O'Reilly
Women! Women! Women! They're all that Conor sees. He opens his eyes to his youngest daughter vying for his attention and closes his eyes to his harried wife hoping for some rest, with a sprinkle of his teenage daughter rolling her eyes at him in between. What a life! He's overwhelmed, but he wouldn't change a minute of it.
§2,000
Difficulty: 2

§1,200
Difficulty: 6
Sophie Dwyer, Nora Lawless, Orion Lawless, Cassidy Predergast, Dillon Lawless, Corren Dwyer, Cara Gallgher
Cassidy was never able to have children of her own, but it didn't matter. There were always children in town without a parent. Parents lost to Dragon fires, house fires, fire fires.. .Times are tough and orphans need love too.
§1,200
Difficulty: 2
Susie Sackholme, Mason Sackholme
Lots of things always seem to happen around Susie & Mason. Though well-intentioned, they usually fall prey to some scheme or attack and danger seems to follow them wherever they go. That doesn't keep the men and women in town from being hopelessly attracted to them, however. Some think it's because there may have been fairy in their blood line.
§2,000
Difficulty: 1
Aislin Walsh
Aislin Walsh makes some of the best food in town, but isn't the most stable person around. Everyone knows how productive the farms are in their secluded town, so where did Aislin get all of this meat?

Editions[]

  • On May 10, 2013, Maxis set up a preview page on their website for Dragon Valley. The page had a glitch that allowed some people to purchase and download an incomplete version of the world. The glitch was soon fixed, but Maxis staff strongly recommended that players uninstall the incomplete version.[3]
  • There is an additional venue available from the Store, The Duke of Bows Renaissance Faire, which was designed specifically for use in Dragon Valley. However, it must be purchased separately and is not included in the Gold Edition. Instead, buying the Gold Edition from the Store grants the purchaser enough additional SimPoints to buy the venue, and the write-up for the package explicitly recommends this.
  • The Gold Edition version sold in the Store includes an extra set called Celtic Lands. The physical retail edition of the World includes an additional download code in the box, which must be redeemed separately in order to access the Celtic Lands extra features. The box edition does not, however, include additional SimPoints, as the Store edition does, making the box edition somewhere between the Standard and Gold editions from the Store.

Namings[]

  • The names Dagda, Lugh, Brighid, are taken from Celtic Mythology.
  • Morrigan O'Reilly shares her name with one of the most important Goddesses of Celtic Mythology.
  • There's a street named Shillelagh Street, which is one of the drinks served by a mixologist.
  • The Hooley and Dolan families are a parody of the tales Robin Hood and Little Red Riding Hood, respectively.
  • The Sackholme family is a parody of Sookie and Jason Stackhouse from the True Blood TV series.
  • The O'Connell family is either a parody of Mérida and her family from Disney/Pixar's Brave, or a parody of Dragonriders of Pern's Connell family.
  • The MacAnna sisters could be a reference to either Lewis Carroll's, or Tim Burton's movie adaptation of, the White Queen & Red Queen, which are often portrayed respectively as good (Shannon) and bad (Teagan).
  • Aislin Walsh is probably a spoof of Mrs. Lovett, from Sweeney Todd. She may also be a female spoof of Sweeney Todd himself, given her description.

Other languages[]

Since it is rare for The Sims 3 world names to be translated, only the differing names are listed below.

Trivia[]

  • The theatre in Dragon Valley is based on the World Theatre and its counterpart in SimCity, both of which are based on Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London, England.
  • It is unknown if the elves of Dragon Valley are related in any way to the Blue Elves found in a Sims Medieval chance card that may appear upon "Tak[ing] a Stroll" in the forest, but their appearance seems to suggest so. Additionally, it is unknown if Dragon Valley is in any way related to the kingdoms of The Sims Medieval, although the "By my troth!" exclamation in the Sims 4 notification (see below) implies some connection.
  • In The Sims 4, sometimes a sim gets a description of: "By my troth! My newest penpal resides in Dragon Valley!" when checking for penpal replies.
  • Dragon Valley is mentioned in Door to Nowhere object from The Sims 4: Realm of Magic.
  • It is unusual as to why Jennifer and Johnny Burb resides in this world as an adult and not Jeff Pleasant, Diane Pleasant, Brad Burb or Tiffany Burb as a child as The Sims 3 takes place before the events of The Sims, meaning Jennifer would not be born yet. However, Barnacle Bay does take place after the events of The Sims 2 so it's possible that Sunlit Tides takes place between the events of The Sims and The Sims 2 as Lucy Burb is not born yet and Jennifer and Johnny are not married yet, however there is no confirmation of this.
  • Consumer technology is scarce by default in Dragon Valley. A few lots, like the Freedom Books library and Glen House, have computers, but TVs and stereos are nowhere to be seen unless added by the player.
