Twilight

I had a request some time ago from RelenaYuy0zero1 to create a Neighbourhood for Sims 2 for Twilight. I must say the biggest challenge is the rivers, as there are only 2 bridges that will show up when the Neighbourhood is moved from Sim City 4 to the Sims 2. I'm still working on it, but here's how it looks in Sim City 4 so far (remember that the map will be a mirror image when changed from one program to another): 

Version 1

Version 2 - with town locations

=================================================

It has to be as large as possible, since there is a lot that needs to fit in there...

I'm not picky about the overall lay-out of the streets, there isn't a lot of information in the books. But I'll give you what I have and make it red...

- Forks & La Push are the most important and will need to have as much room as possible, Forks more than La Push.
- Port Angeles, Denali (Alaska), Volterra (Italy) & Jacksonville only need to be one "street" each.

Let's start with Forks: Its a small town close to a forest and is build around a highway.
That highway/main road is the starting point to everything else:
La Push, Port Angeles, Denali (Alaska), Volterra (Italy)& Jacksonville...

- Finding the school wasn't difficult, though I'd never been there before. The school was, like most other things, just off the highway.
- The Thriftway was not far from the school, just a few streets south, off the highway.
- The Newtons' Olympic Outfitters store was just north of town.

There are only to things really important for Forks:
- A road that leads to the forest (dead end or corner):
His home was nestled right up against thick woods, with no close neighbors.
- My favorite vamiper familie home, room enough for the biggest sized lot...
I realized, as he drove my truck out of the main part of town, that I had no idea where he lived. We passed over the bridge at the Calawah River, the road winding northward, the houses flashing past us growing farther apart, getting bigger. And then we were past the other houses altogether, driving through misty forest. I was trying to decide whether to ask or be patient, when he turned abruptly onto an unpaved road. It was unmarked, barely visible among the ferns. The forest encroached on both sides, leaving the road ahead only discernible for a few meters as it twisted, serpent like, around the ancient trees. And then, after a few miles, there was some thinning of the woods, and we were suddenly in a small meadow, or was it actually a lawn?

His room faced south, with a wall-sized window like the great room below. The whole back side of the house must be glass. His view looked down on the winding Sol Duc River, across the untouched forest to the Olympic Mountain range. The mountains were much closer than I would have believed. The river is close enough to be considered in their backyard, but it is important that I can use the biggest sized lot!!!

- La Push:
A road starting at the highway, heading south leads to the Indian reservation and its beach. So yes, I need an ocean there where I can build a beach on. The beach is separte from the rez, so maybe the rez to the right and the beach/ocean left and lower? The rez is surrounded with a forest (of course) and isn't directly near the ocean because of the forest and cliffs...
I don't need an exact copy of the information below, do what you can.

It was only fifteen miles to La Push from Forks, with gorgeous, dense green forests edging the road most of the way and the wide Quillayute River snaking beneath it twice. I was glad I had the window seat. We'd rolled the windows down — the Suburban was a bit claustrophobic with nine people in it — and I tried to absorb as much sunlight as possible. I'd been to the beaches around La Push many times during my Forks summers with Charlie, so the mile-long crescent of First Beach was familiar to me. It was still breathtaking. The water was dark gray, even in the sunlight, white-capped and heaving to the gray, rocky shore. Islands rose out of the steel harbor waters with sheer cliff sides, reaching to uneven summits, and crowned with austere, soaring firs. The beach had only a thin border of actual sand at the water's edge, after which it grew into millions of large, smooth stones that looked uniformly gray from a distance, but close up were every shade a stone could be: terra-cotta, sea green, lavender, blue gray, dull gold. The tide line was strewn with huge driftwood trees, bleached bone white in the salt waves, some piled together against the edge of the forest fringe, some lying solitary, just out of reach of the waves. There was a brisk wind coming off the waves, cool and briny. Pelicans floated on the swells while seagulls and a lone eagle wheeled above them. The clouds still circled the sky, threatening to invade at any moment, but for now the sun shone bravely in its halo of blue sky.

- Port Angeles:
Its east of Forks I believe but sinds there is a harbor it needs to be against the ocean.
A single road of the highway to the ocean is enough, I just need enough space for the biggest sized lot. I'll build a community shopping center and that's enough...

- Denali (Alaska): Again it just needs to be one road, starting from the highway heading as far north? as possible. Its a (biggest sized) lot in the middle of another forest...

- Jacksonville: It doesn't really matter where you put this road as long as it starts from the highway and is a little away from anything else...

- Volterra: It doesn't really matter where you put this road as long as it starts from the highway and is a little away from anything else.. I will need enough room for at least the biggest sized lot

=================================================

**UPDATE** 

Just had a lovely pm from RelenaYuy0zero1 about the bridges as that's been my major hurdle as it changes the entire shape of the landscape, so instead will just go ahead & start building the roads! Should be published soon...
