Title: Best Default Maps For Beach Houses? Post by: Zirconia Wolf on September 14, 2007, 02:58:36 pm I haven't installed BV yet (though I do have it) as I want to get my hoods "ready" for it, but was wondering if those of you who have already installed it could give me a heads up as to which (if any) of the pre-made hood maps (Sedona, Crystal Springs, etc) available offer the best/most options to build beach house lots on?
If none of the pre-mades are decent, how about pointing me toward some good user made ones? (I don't have SimCity 4 so making my own isn't an option.) Thanks, -ZW Title: Best Default Maps For Beach Houses?

now my Adult & YA Sims can go to the Community Beach if their not lucky or rich enough to live on a beach lot or want to go on vacation Title: Best Default Maps For Beach Houses? Post by: Sleepycat on September 14, 2007, 08:58:22 pm there are some really nice terrains that are made for beach lots at
http://www.simsanne.com/Forum/filebase.php they are under SC4-TERRAINS and there are Islands and Lands. I don't understand a word on that site other then Downloads and SC4-Terrains but figured out that Inseln must mean Islands and Landschaften must mean Lands :lol: The lands are new since I checked there yesterday... *downloads* I already have a few of the Islands and I'm currently using one of them (19) for my new neighborhood. Some will fit the beach lots better then others since many were made before BV was out. Most of the new BV terrains are very small. I was going to use the Crescent Island terrain (it's not as small as the other new ones) until a friend found the site above and sent me the link. Most of the pre-BV maxis/ea terrains won't fit any beach lots. bluewater and maybe one other might fit a couple but thats about it. Title: Best Default Maps For Beach Houses?

Kinda had a feeling than none of the long-time Maxis maps would be "beach house ready", but I was hoping.... -ZW Title: Best Default Maps For Beach Houses?

thanks for the heads-up on those Sleepycat Title: Best Default Maps For Beach Houses? Post by: Knukleur on September 23, 2007, 11:54:41 am There are three spots where you can use the three smallest beach lots in the Driftwood terrain (which always reminds me of a tourist town called Saugatuck in Michigan.) One is across from a little peninsula, and if you place a lighthouse on or near this it's sorta romantic as a viewable neighborhood object from this lot. The other two are near each other and out near the edge of the clickable range if you're using the standard neighborhood camera; it's kinda tricky to place any neighborhood objects including the new beach boulders near/on them. All three of them slope down immediately from the sidewalk and have quite a lot of elevation change between the road and the beach.
