I do not need the lots to be furnished. My preference is that they be built as it would be bought in real life (with cabinets, plumbing, lighting, appliances). However, if you want to leave the lot empty I will go in and add them in. I just do not enjoy building enough to finish building these lots. I want to move forward with this phase so I can work on the second phase that I originally set out to accomplish. Even with the help of floor plans, I am also having trouble adding enough variety.
The neighborhood name is Zythia. I am considering the setting to be an old midwestern United States lumber town.
Modern (and typically affordable):
297 Two (3x3)289 Two (3x2)308 Two (3x2)185 Wright (3x3)
Victorian/Regular (tend to be more expensive homes... but can be affordable):
Bright (this is supposed to be the "altruist" side):
207 Gute (3x2)212 Gute (4x4)173 Consummate (3x2)172 Consummate (3x2)- 158 Consummate (3x2)
169 Janie (3x3)159 Janie (3x2)172 Janie (3x2)
331 Apol (3x3)172 Evit (3x2)162 Evit (3x2)347 Apol (3x2)159 Vindy (3x2)172 Vindy (3x2)380 Apol (3x2)371 Apol (3x3)85 Canype (3x3)176 Canype (3x2)
Industrial (any price range):
323 Indunny (3x2)380 Water (3x2)
Please select a lot you'd like to help me finish, and let me know so I can cross it off the list. If possible, I ask for you to finish the lot within 2 weeks of selection. If the size of your selected lot(s) are not the right size, please feel free to download the neighborhood template and plopping a lot of a different size in the location. If your new lot(s) takes the place of two or more empty lots, just request all affected lots. I placed the lots 5 years ago to get me started, and as I'm sure you're aware, deleting them will flatten the terrain which is not ideal.
The current (9 January 2020) version of the neighborhood can be found here.
Other information that may be helpful:
- If you're worried about how long this project has taken:
Review this thread to see that I am serious about finishing this project, even though I started it 5 years ago. Since making that post, I have readdressed the lots, changed the sizes of lots, and built over ten houses. - The homes in the center part of the neighborhood were completed during a time that I was intending to include a version that had the CC staircase wall covers and I have not gone through to delete the walls. I no longer intend on doing this.
- If you help me, when I upload the neighborhood, you will get credit for the lot(s) that you finished.

I'd be more than happy to help. Let me have a look into the neighborhood and I'll build some lots for you.
I can use the AnyGameStarter and I don't have the UC, so... I'm able to create fully BG compatible lots.

@PlyPlay665 The new uploader is a bit of a trick. Try not to double post unless your thread needs bumping/you need to ping people. (for some reason using edit to add a ping doesn't work) You can at anytime use the edit button though and still attach pictures to a post you made.

It is your lot now and you decide what to do with it.
I 'm glad you liked it. I'll do some more houses then.

It'll be fun to see it all this complete. The idea sounds great.

I'm not sure if there are that many BG players left out there, but by making a BG compatible version, it at least lets those who may not have complete collections to play without missing objects, etc.
P.S. I'm not sure if this is needed to be said, but please make sure to check the list of lots in the original post for checked off lots before building. I've built a few and plan on building a few more on my own as well. (@Jawusa)

Yes, they have another collection named Super Collection, but not all EPs/SPs are included in their game, since all the EPs/SPs that came after Bon Voyage (such as FreeTime or Apartment Life) are incompatible on Macs.
So, they could use the base game neighborhoods or any neighborhood (up to Bon Voyage), but nothing above.
Anyway, I was busy setting up a upload thread.. which is why I couldn’t build any other lots. But I‘ll have a look at the neighborhood again. I promise

I've got a little something for you!
Edit: Just realized... I built a lot that didn't need to be created.

@PlyPlay665 I've got a little something for you! Edit: Just realized... I built a lot that didn't need to be created. |
Thank you! I'll still place it into the neighborhood! The lots that aren't green and listed in the list are lots that I plan on building that aren't basegame compatible (Specifically, two apartments and a night club). I plan on completely rebuilding the downtown area, too. But since I'll be deleting anything that gets built in those empty lots, I figured I wouldn't offer for them to be built in this version.
Also, I uploaded an updated version of the neighborhood. Used lotcompressor to shrink the filesize down, too.

I'm so sorry for abandoning this project. It's just that real life came in between.
I'm still struggling to write my final scientific paper which has to be handed in in December 2018.

I have enlarged 212 Gute to be 4x4. I have vague ideas of what I'd like to build there, but anyone can feel free to build something if they so feel. I do have concrete plans for 172 Janie Way, however.
My new focus is to make the houses I build more roomy. I was falling into the trap of making tight homes in what was supposed to be the wealthier area of town, which I worry is just a symptom of the fact like 85% of the lots are 3x2. So I have a big worry of people disliking the lack of lot-size diversity. Oh well. The issue I have with big homes in the base game is how awful their roofs look. So I'll probably end up moving the smaller ones that are currently in the wealthy neighborhoods to the already-complete middle class neighborhood at the center. I'll do that by making many of the 3x2 lots into 2x2 or 2x3. For now, they make the neighborhood as a whole look full.
Anyway, you can find the new link in the original post, or right here.
EDIT: Also, I've had this problem where the names of the community lots change to be the description???? I don't know where this originates, or how to solve this?? I'm not sure if the past versions had this problem for other people since I would go into SimPE to edit the name beforehand, but I didn't feel like it this time so I know it's a problem. I should really do some testing on this.

Oh, that's the language issue. It happens if you set the game language to anything other than the default language (US English) and load the neighborhood. (UK English is not considered as the default language.)
It can be fixed using SimPE. Just open the neighborhood and make all text strings default strings only.
After that, you can change the lot's name.

EDIT: Went ahead and uploaded the latest version so you could have an easier time figuring out what lots need built!

I've made another lot for you!
(Though, it turned out a bit too Mediterranean? Idk... I tried to something different, but well?)
But I managed to build a pool with windows! :p

And yes, it actually works as a pool indeed. I think I saw a tutorial on tumblr or something... so I was curious to try it out. Lol.

And don't worry about the time, lol. I also have a neighborhood project ongoing for 5 years now... and it's still far from finished.
Are you going to populate the neighborhood, too?
