Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: TXSundown on February 23, 2007, 08:51:57 pm With Sims 2: Seasons coming out next week I thought I’d make a Seasons-inspired neighborhood or two. Of course, you don’t have to have Seasons to play it, just that it was made with the advent of farms and fruit and vegetable growing that S2Seasons will bring in mind.
The community is nestled between the mountains and the ocean. An island, connected by a bridge, sits in the inlet near a sandy beachfront. Tucked into a hidden valley are winding roads and rich, fertile soil, perfect for farming. The many roads lead up the mountainside and allow for some spectacular views. Photos show a beachfront lot as well as a view of the bridge from one of the mountain roads. I created this neighborhood so both those who use the MTS2 Neighborhood Camera Mod and those who do not, can have a good sized community. Although it would be to the player’s benefit to use the camera mod for this particular neighborhood, it is not necessary. Even without the camera mod the bridge and most of the island can be seen and played. Even some of the sandy beach can be used. But there is much more the small view does not see... the rich fertile valley that is perfect for farmers and even more beachfront property. The photos show both large view (with camera mod) and small view (without the camera mod). The camera mod can be found here: (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=97642) if you are interested. I have tested the neighborhood both ways and either is equally playable. Other than a few trees, the bridge and standard roads no other additions have been made. I have EP1 - 4 installed but am not sure one would need them to use this neighborhood (Sorry, I can’t test that theory though.) The neighborhood was created with Sim City 4 Deluxe with the Rush Hour EP installed. This neighborhood is being uploaded only to Insimenator.net (my first upload to this site) and is not to appear on any other website, pay or free. Please honor that. -Sundown copyright 2007 - TXSundown Inc. Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: lmfjaxxon on February 24, 2007, 01:05:08 pm Thanks!

Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: Mike141 on February 24, 2007, 05:22:28 pm Wow this is gorgeous! I havent downloaded a neighborhood before, do you put it anywhere different?
Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: Loserkid on February 24, 2007, 05:45:38 pm *new to downloading neighborhoods* i thought this one is worth it. Very nice one... reminds me of my country... from the snow to the beach in 1 hour. heh
I also feel the urge to play sim city all of a sudden... Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: xxJessicaxx on February 24, 2007, 07:07:14 pm Nice job!
Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: lkl36 on February 24, 2007, 07:26:53 pm Great neighborhood! Thanks!
Title: To all... and a personal note to Mike141... Post by: TXSundown on February 25, 2007, 02:31:52 am Thank you for the kind words! They are very appreciated. I hope you enjoy the neighborhood and will let me know how its playing for you and especially if you have any problems with it. Might want to check back... I'll be posting a few more Seasons-oriented neighborhoods in the next few days.
To Mike141: Yes, you have to put the files in your "SC4Terrains" which is under the My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/ subfolder. Once you un-RAR the file you downloaded you will find a .TXT file inside. It also gives instructions on where the files go, even more specific than these. It will even tell you where the .PNG files go and what you have to rename them for them to show up in your City list. If you have any problems feel free to ask here in this thread or PM me here at Insimenator.net and I'll get back to you right away. -Sundown Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: Henrik on February 25, 2007, 03:05:30 am Great job :) I love this hood! Thanks :)
Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: sabrasivonsky on February 25, 2007, 09:22:11 am Beautiful! I've been looking for something exactly like this. But does it need Pets to function properly?
Sorry--I see you've addressed this in your post. I'll try it out and see if it works. Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: XPTL297 on February 25, 2007, 10:33:16 am Very interesting hood. I have already a totally operational farming system (no disasters in it) and this will be an addition.
I have already downloaded a hood that looks like TS1. Still didn't use but I don't forecast any troubles once it is just pictures and a base empty hood I suppose. Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: verenaheu on February 25, 2007, 02:59:44 pm I will love the Beachfront Lots a lot! Thanks a lot!:worship:

Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: kathy on March 02, 2007, 03:47:00 am Fantastic job!
Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: jason7871 on March 03, 2007, 03:13:55 am Great Job!!!! Again i am soooo amazed by your ability too do hoods with SC4 Great Job You Rock!!!
Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: gertruda_1 on March 11, 2007, 04:43:42 pm Very nice...
Pity you didn't put few houses and townies to go with neighborhood.... I will have to build all from scratch.. I already have ideas for beach house... :) Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: sheetmason on April 07, 2007, 08:31:51 pm This one is exceptional. I've never downloaded a neighborhood before, though I've looked. The close placement of lots and dramatic yet unified landscape make for a different "feel" in each house/lot. If I hadn't sold Sim City 4 to buy art supplies, I'd like to think I'd have made something like this!!!
5 stars from me. Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: pandasims on April 08, 2007, 08:01:41 am Good work~ thank you for sharing.:worship:

Title: New Neighborhood with Beachfront & Views Post by: SpyroMan08 on September 18, 2008, 05:37:17 pm could everybody make their posts BOTH .rar and .zip files? is that too hard to ask?
