Dragon Valley is the ninth world to be released from the Sims 3 Store team and the sixteenth available to players with all expansions. As of May 30th, the world is available for purchase through the Sims 3 Store as part of two separate Simpoint Bundles. Players can purchase the standard edition which includes access to the town, 100 Simpoints and the new premium content - Baby Dragons.
If you purchase the gold edition, you will now own the town, 1900 more Simpoints, the dragons and the new Celtic Lands set which is only available with the gold edition of Dragon Valley. Simultaneously released alongside the world was a new venue that looks just right with the rest of the architecture.
The Duke of Bows Renaissance Faire can be purchased with the extra 1900 Simpoints you get with the gold version. The world itself is said to be a hidden place full of elves and dragons.
For generations, the locals fought against the large adult dragons as they ravaged their quiet homeland. Then suddenly all that changed when the ship of Captain O'Connell wrecked nearby. Captain O'Connell and his crew brought with them technology that had yet to make it's way to Dragon Valley.
Among that technology was a scientific method that kept dragons as baby dragons. This tech alone has saved the town from losing any more lives. Several generations after the O'Connells arrived, the town is doing it's best to meld the old ways with the new technology that has reached it's shores. The hospital doesn't have the best equipment and relies on the powers of it's healers. The science facility believes lore and myths still hold true facts.
The stadium is for jousters and archers. Even some of the toilets are still chamber pots, but you'll find smart phones, refrigerators, automobiles, televisions and video games starting to spread to some of the houses. While most of the townsfolk still dress in the skins of slayed dragons, they will have no problem sending you a text to tell you to be at that party they're having in an hour.
It's a good blend of old and new. Baby Dragons Every world released from the Sims 3 Store since Hidden Springs has come with it's own personal premium content. Dragon Valley is no different in that it gives you access to Baby Dragons.
And who hasn't wanted a baby dragon of their very own? From a single egg found in buy mode comes three completely different types of dragonlings - red, green and purple. Players who bought the Duke of Bows Renaissance Faire also have the chance at a fourth type of hatchling, the Armored Black Dragon. To start the hatching process, a Sim just needs to interact with the egg in some way - either by picking it up or talking to it. If you choose to have a conversation with the egg, there are eight different things you can talk to about - enemies, fire, your physical prowess, your job, friends, the weather, the egg paradox and existentialism.
Depending on what you say to the egg and how often you say it can influence the color of the dragon inside. For example, talking about weather will improve the chance it is a green baby dragon. After six hours, the egg will roll around on the floor before hatching in a cloud of magic smoke to reveal itself to you. Once your dragon has hatched, there is plenty that you can do with them. However, the first thing every new dragon parent should do is name their baby dragon or townies will walk off with them. Each dragon type comes with their very own unique abilities that makes each one of them special. All four can be fed, carried and played with.
They even have the ability to fly around your Sim if you have an area close by with enough room. To access these interactions, just click on your baby dragon either on the ground, on your arm or on the floor. Once a Sim interacts with a dragon, they will usually put it into their inventory. Red Dragons are the most aggressive and fearless of all the dragons. If you have enemies, this little guy is perfect for you as he's willing to 'Shoot Fireballs' at anyone you please. For a good laugh, you can have him cast his ability 'Fiery Torment' at another Sim's feet to watch them dance. These two abilities are not the best for making or keeping friends but they are entertaining.
When there is no one else around to play with, your red dragon can talk about the Athletic skill with you for a quick but small skill boost. Playing with your red dragon isn't all about spitting fire and the athletic skill, though. Every time you pick up a red dragon and put him on your arm, you gain a moodlet called 'Mark of the Red Dragon.' While the moodlet is active, your Hygiene and Energy bars will fill to full and stay full for the duration. Once everyone has left you for using the red dragon on them, you can pick up your Purple Dragon to 'Summon Someone New'. The person the dragon picks will instantly become your friend once they appear at your location.
Now that you have a friend again, your purple dragon will be able to summon them anywhere you are. Every time they are summoned, your relationship will improve greatly. This isn't the only way that a purple dragon can help you gain friends. Purple dragons can teach Sims the charisma skill to help as well. Another of Spyro's special abilities is the ability to 'Be the Life of the Party!' Which instantly makes any party in town the best party ever.
The purple dragon's ability to 'Cast Rune Charm' on another Sim makes the other Sim happy with a +20 mood boost. Like his red brother, the purple dragon also gives a moodlet, 'The Mark of the Purple Dragon', which raises the Fun and Social needs. The Green Dragons are the gatherers of the dragon family. Not only do they have the ability to 'Summon Treasure' once every hour, they can also grow and 'Harvest' all the plants at your location.
The harvested produce will automatically go into your Sim's inventory. Since he's so good at gardening himself, he won't mind teaching your Sim how it's done. The 'Mark of the Green Dragon' is unique to this type of dragon and it correlates with the hunger and bladder needs so that your Sim won't have to eat or use the bathroom for as long as the moodlet is active. The last type of dragon is the Armored Black Dragon.
This little dragon is associated with death and curses. Not only can they 'Summon Death Flowers' whenever they want, they can also 'Summon Ghosts' to haunt wherever you are. Being surrounded by death and mystery, the black dragon has learned a thing or two about logic that he is willing to share with your Sim. That's not the best part though.
The best part is that a black dragon can put a 'Phantasmal Curse' on other Sims. This curse can turn the target into a zombie if you have Supernatural or just curses them if you don't.
Either way, that Sim is not having a good day. With such an awesome pet, who would really want to take a break to eat or sleep? Not you, the owner of the black dragon will receive 'The Mark of the Black Dragon' which works with the hunger and energy needs to keep them full for as long as you are marked. Can't decide which one you want? Have no fear because your Sim is allowed to have as many dragons as you want whether it's one of each color or fifty of each color to become the Crazy Dragon Lady. So what's the catch? While you can own as many dragons as you ever wanted, a Sim can only have four in their inventory at any one time.

If you have a dragon of a certain color in your inventory, you won't be able to interact with another of that color. Places in Dragon Valley One of the best things about Dragon Valley is it's wide open spaces. World builders made it so that lots from previous expansions will never auto place in town on lots that are too big or at angles that make your Sims run to the back to walk in. For those that do want to place a missing EP lot, there are 22 empty lots available around town to fit most of your needs. All of them can be found on the northern side of town.
A complete breakdown of what's available is: 4 - 64 x 64 3 - 40 x 40 1 - 40 x 30 6 - 30 x 30 5 - 30 x 20 1 - 25 x 25 2 - 20 x 20. The center of Dragon Valley is where most of the important buildings, parks and rabbit holes can be found. While there are a few locations not in the center of town. Here is a map showing you where to find most of them.
Just click on the image to bring up a bigger version of it. 1: Miser McCann's Restaurant (Bistro) - 59 Ardmore Avenue Don't expect much from Miser McCann's except a perfectly poured pint. The food isn't great and the service isn't much better, but it's the fanciest place in town! 2: Tome Traders (Bookstore) - 57 Ardmore Avenue Indulge your lifetime love of literature with a book from Tome Traders. 3: City Hall (City Hall) - 55 Ardmore Avenue This is the center of the town.
Not much happens in this building, but everything happens around it. 4: Slainte chugat Harmony Hospital (Hospital) - 53 Ardmore Avenue This hospital doesn't use the 'latest equipment' but finds its healing powers in the tough and experienced hands of the healers in town. 5: Practice Pit Gymnasium (Gym) - 41 Elm Grove 6: Freedom Books (Library) - 43 Elm Grove 7: Playful Park (Big Park) - 83 Claddagh Court 8: City Cairn Memorial Lot (Graveyard) - 84 Claddagh Court 9: Community Garden (Small Park) - 51 Elm Grove 10: Myth, Legend, Lore, and Fact Facility (Science) - 40 Elm Grove The MLLFF is no stranger to lore, in fact they treat it as fact!
There is a lot we can learn from lessons of the past and no lesson is too small. 11: Heart and History Art Gallery - 42 Elm Grove 12: Garda Police and Military (Police Station & Military Base) - 44 Elm Grove The Police and Military serve less as crime prevention and more as attack preparation. Adult Dragons were a fierce competitor, and the townspeople need to be prepared. 13: Like Minded Individuals, Inc. (Business) - 46 Elm Grove This town is too small for greed. Everyone that works here knows that they have to better the life of the common man through good business practices and fair wages. 14: The Local Grocer (Grocery Store & Diner) - 50 Elm Grove Anytime a cook needs something in town they always tell folks to go to 'the local grocer'.
This confusion led all of the other grocers in town to become personal farmers instead. 15: World's Theatre (Theatre) - 13 Clover Drive The World's Theatre has some of the best entertainment in, well, the world! 16: Swimmer's Safety Practice Pool (Pool) - 11 Clover Drive 17: Ubiquitous Unity Day Spa (Spa) - 10 Clover Drive The 'Spa' is where Sims go to feel one with the wisdom of the water and the earth. 18: McCafferty's Pub (Visitors Allowed) - 72 Shillelagh Street 19: Feudal Fishing Spot (Fishing Spot) - 7 MIthrilen Manor Other places around town not shown in the picture Tourney Tent of Novices (Stadium) - 49 Aine Avenue This tourney tent is a great place for novice competitors to train for the next level.
Location: Using the Downtown picture as a guide - follow the road going to the right. Drake School of Life and Learning (School) - 101 O'Connell Heights Education is incredibly important in Dragon Valley. It is the only thing that will make sure future generations are protected from Dragons. Location: Using the Downtown picture as a guide - Look to the hills just out of view in the top right. You can't miss the building. Mithrilen's Madmen Hideaway (Criminal) - 28 Clover Drive There are some passionate folks in town that agree that the Mithrilen family should be in charge again.
And they'll do what they can to make that happen. By any means necessary. Location: Using the Downtown Picture as a guide - This building can be found south of the spa on the other side of the ridge. You have to follow the road leading west from the World's Theatre to get around to it. Cladach Beach (Beach) - 68 Oak Grove Location: Follow the road leading to the west from Feudal Fishing Spot. The beach rests along the shore line just before you get to the island bridge.
Traigh Mhor Beach (Beach) - 69 Oak Grove Location: Along the north of the town is a set of cliffs, this beach can be found on the other side just northwest of Feudal Fishing Spot. Dragon Tavern (No Visitors Allowed) - 23 Clover Drive Location: Follow the road going west from the World's Theatre and you'll come across this charming little spot. Mol Beach (Beach) - 25 Clover Drive Location: Keep following the road past Dragon Tavern to curve around the edge of the cliff in town. This beach is south of the cliff edge ruins and right next to the destroyed pier. Crios Pond (Fishing Spot) - 40 Cian Road Location: This little fishing spot is hidden on the eastern bank of the loch on the southern side of town. I purchased and downloaded dragon valley gold 2 days ago,the morning after it was installed I started a new game in Dragon Valley, when it was time for my sim to go to work she wouldn't, so I investigated why and found the reason, most of the community buldings are missing and three were replaced with community buildings from other towns.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Dragon Valley but that didn't fix it. I have not found any articles or post about this problem to help me. I need help to fix this issue please.
