A fair amount of Roaring Heights' citizens are references to famous people from the 1920s to 1940s, either by name, or as a direct spoof.Īs a result of the 1920's inspiration, all of the houses in Roaring Heights lack modern technology ( TV's, computers, stereos, etc), making it the oldest-themed world in The Sims 3, even more so than Dragon Valley (which had some computers). The 'heights' is possibly referring to the height of the buildings. This world seems to take after a theme of 1920s to 1940s-inspired fashion and architecture, and the name of the town is probably a reference to the term ' Roaring Twenties', which refers to Western (English speaking and European)- society and culture in the 1920s.
