So I'm making a custom lot for Willow Creek and I need a tip. Is there anyone here who lives or is very familiar with New Orleans or the surrounding areas? I want to make a natural area lot and was wondering what locals or experienced tourists would recommend I base it off of.

So I misread your question and typed out this huge thing detailing the entirety of Willow Creek and what you could do with it but that's gone now so I'll be direct. As shown below, Foundry Cove is right next to the bayou and has a community garden not connected to any of the lots. You can use the empty lot for whatever you have planned or scrap the BFF house which is right next to the garden. It's a poorer area so you can make the houses look a bit damaged with the pealed wallpaper decorations that come with the Vampire Pack.

Really the non playable houses in the background are good representations of New Orleans architecture for the area. I would like to point out that since this is next to the swamp it would be a good place for the Bowels family and as you can see in the distance there is a city center so this would also be a good place for Blue Collar workers to make a commute from.

Ah, I think natural areas might mean something different to everybody else. How I mean it is something like a f national/state park for hiking or something. A little more wild than urban. I'm using one of the larger (50x40) lots for it that are near the edge of the map.

@wallawalla These might help you out for Park/ National Park type lots in a New Orleans / Louisiana setting.

Ah then the Spencer-Kim-Lewis lot would be good since its so high up and mostly isolated.

Thank you, as for an ETA for the save file, probably not until the new year. Once I have the Strangerville sims figured out it should go somewhat quick but depends on how the holidays go.

[Gurofiend24]

It's all good, thanks for the update, Beautiful. Hope you have a wonderful Holiday this month~ ❤️

Slavic and Strangerville folks are up! I think that's the last of the Series sims. A part  from updating sims on the main upload page, I'll only make new sims as needed until the save file is up from here on.

Are all these sims available now? I'm having trouble finding some in the download list.

For the reload, a tentative yes. It's been pointed out to me that I have missed a few. With the amount there, I recommend CTRL F searching to double check and if it isn't there I will upload them ASAP.

[wallawalla]

Figured I would give a very rough rundown of when the save file will be up. I'll be working on it as much as I can through out this week. After that, I'll be pretty busy with work and holiday stuff until mid-January. Thus far, I think what will take me the longest is building lots personally (still kind of suck at it) and setting up relationship. I'll be updating a few sims along the way as well.

 

Though I am not giving myself a hard deadline, I am aiming to have the save uploaded by the last week of January.

From my understanding you can use lots from the gallery as a starting point. As long as you edit them enough to show you didn't just copypaste.

 

Sim creations are already transformative so if you just use the structure but switch around the interior you're good.

For some I do, but for others there isn't quite what I was looking for in the Gallery so I've been doing them from scratch.

So, it turned out the holiday season is a really busy time at work, which will slow things down a bit. Just know I'll work on the save file when I can. In the mean time, I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and pray to every god that is, or ever shall be, that 2022 will be a shit ton better! Happy Holidays!

Happy New Year. Too much whiskey. I love all you beautiful bastards. Especially you.

im having trouble linking many of the sims from your downloads to actual sims from your pictures. and even more trouble finding specific sims from your pictures in your downloads.

When you say linking, do you mean the multipart downloads or setting up relationships? As for trouble finding specific sims, I recommend right clicking on the download button and opening it in a new tab, then use ctr+F from there.

 the problem for me is that alot of your downloads have specific names for characters. and it is hard, for me at least to find which download corresponds to which picture without clicking every link. What is even harder, is clicking the links first and then looking through the downloads for a specific sim, or family. not all sims or families from your pictures are easily found in your download list, as not all are listed by name or household.
