If you want a bit of a head start on a couple businesses theres some nice pre-stocked community lots at http://www.thesporum.net/smf/index.php?topic=1764.0

some of the pre-stocked stuff are craftables. Sometimes I'll set up some owned businesses but never take the owner to them (owner gets a regular job and the business never needs re-stocking) but I will take my other playables to them to buy stuff.

a lake would work so would a puddle :lol:  the road has to be close enough to water for beach lots to work.

what happened to the backup you had on your external HD?

in Bon Voyage toddlers can eat sand on the beach lots

your very welcome. I'm happy you found a few you like

your both very welcome

your very welcome and Thank you for all your kind comments

Thank you

BV is the reason I bought SC4 and learned how to make my own terrains :lol:

:lol: I'm glad it's perfect for your "new small subsistence hood" :lol:

Thanks  you will need a camera hack to see the beach area since it's near the edge of the terrain

...But you may not need to keep the camera hack if you place some community lots in the areas you want to be able to reach. I had success doing that in one of my neighborhoods before I just gave up and kept the camera hack in.

honestly, the problem is TS2 Deluxe.

Getting OFB or one of the other newer expansions should fix it... (Uni won't if I remember right).

of course if Darque Rose did mean the sim bin in CAS then it is a problem.

I've never had to import my Bodyshop sims into the game. I make them in Bodyshop and it saves them in the SavedSims folder. after that they show up in the bin in CAS.

Thank you you don't need BV to use this terrain though... thats the nice thing about terrains, it dosen't matter what EPs or SPs you have :B

Thanks yettie :daisy:  I'm very pleased with this one  I can't wait to decorate it and move some sims in!

The funny part (cause theres always a funny part with me) is - I almost ditched this one a few times while I was working on it :lol: but I kept at it and it finally all started to come together :B

a hacked Neighborhood Camera is needed to see & use the whole terrain. my edited version of GunMods neighborhoodcamera file is available here at http://www.insimenator.org/showpost.php?p=1067854&postcount=6

To Install - place the .sc4 & .png files in your My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\SC4Terrains folder (make sure they aren't in a subfolder or they won't show up. I zip them in a folder.)

CUSTOM NEIGHBORHOOD PICTURE
---------------------------
In order to create a custom picture to represent your neighborhood on the main menu, first save the picture you wish to use as a .png file (a 4x3 size ratio works best, but pictures with other proportions will be stretched to fit). The file must be named N0XX_Neighborhood.png (where XX is the neighborhood number). Then place the file in the neighborhood's directory (e.g., My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Neighborhoods\N004).
