A 1920s world with Art Deco style
Roaring Heights is the eleventh and final premium world released through The Sims 3 Store, arriving on December 12, 2013. The world draws its visual identity from the Roaring Twenties in the United States, with architecture influenced by Miami, New York City, and Chicago. Landmarks include a City Hall, Bistro, Science Building, Lighthouse, Hospital, Theater, Stadium, and a large bridge. Most buildings in Roaring Heights lack modern technology like televisions, computers, and stereos, keeping the setting closer to its historical inspiration. Period-appropriate clothing rounds out the 1920s atmosphere.
Rollercoasters and the boardwalk
Rollercoasters return to The Sims series in Roaring Heights for the first time since The Sims: Makin' Magic. The Boardwalk venue, available as a separate purchase, includes two pre-built coasters: a wooden one with a vertical drop and loop, and a smaller metallic version. Riding either coaster grants Sims a positive moodlet worth +10 for two hours. Players can also construct their own custom coasters using purchasable track pieces placed in Build Mode.
The fixer-upper car
The Classically Cool Fixer-upper Car costs §350 and starts as scrap. Sims repair and restore it over time, building their Handiness skill in the process. Once fully restored, the car can be sold for around §39,000, making it a useful way to earn Simoleons while skilling up.
Lots and collectibles
Roaring Heights contains 97 lots in total: 41 residential, 35 commercial, and 21 empty. The world is stocked with rare collectibles spread across mapped locations, including Pink Diamonds, Palladium, Rainbow Gems, special seeds, rare butterflies, Angelfish, and Alley Catfish.
