Tatakai Tochi, which means Flight Land in Japanese, is a lush and atmospheric sim by designer Shen Molinaro, is evocative of the forests and lakes of the mountain regions of Japan. Mountains. Shen has also designed Suomi, one of the most admired and heralded sims in 2016. Suomi, which means Finland in the Finnish language, is an evocative landscape of tall pines, clear lakes, and Northern Lights contrasts well with Tatakai Tochi. Instead of cold mountain streams and winter atmospherics, Tatakia Tochi celebrates Spring with forests of flowering Sakura trees, bamboo groves, and clear running waterfalls. The landscape here is unexpected and a pleasure to walk and discover. I highly recommend a visit here, and to Suomi if you have not yet visited.

Suomi, or the name of Finland in the unique Finnish language, wowed me with lighting and atmospherics. Suomi, much like the nation of Finland itself, is heavily forested with vast expanses of lakes and waterways. The season is here is winter, with the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) dancing high in the sky above a snowy and quiet landscape.

If you enjoy quiet and cold places, then Suomi may be right for you. There, you can collect quite some info about “the ancient myths, culture, and feelings” of Finland

There is something serenely majestic about the sim Suomi, and it's apparent from the moment one arrives that it's a special place. Designed by Shen Molinaro, the region includes mythological and cultural information from Sighvatr Sturluson (Worthaboutapig resident, also the sim owner) — the two having collaborated on the sim's concept — with additional contributions from Sati (Satyamalaak), Skaði Sturluson (Edenjane765), and Èirã Sturlson (Dahlia Endsleigh).

Suomi-Finland (Finnish for “Our Land”), located on the homestead region of Cubana Bay. The Guide entry describes it as, “a land rich in history, folklore, and natural wonders”, in which visitors are invited to “explore vast forests, long waterways and pristine, frozen wilderness as you chance to stumble upon various interactive and immersive elements meant to educate and inspire

Created by Shen Molinaro and Sighvatr Sturluson, this is indeed an immersive, frozen wilderness. Snow lies deep on the ground, ice sheaths the water channels in many places, and almost the entire landscape sits beneath the boughs of tall fir trees which point to midnight sky around which an auroral display ebbs and flows.
