TS1 New Vacant Community Lots

Posted On Aug 31, 2007 | Click here to comment

To compliment the vacant residential lots I also created a limited set of 15 vacant community lots, to be published on Saturday.

These followed a similar approach to the residential ones, and I added complete pavements beside the roads, and relocated the bins and phones. I did not simply modify the same lots set as community in the default game, I chose to work on the lots in the centre of Old Town, to replicate a small town centre.

If you would like to use these I suggest that you make a new n'hood and import all of my residential lots into it. Then import whichever of the community lots you choose to make your own Old Town.

Please remember that you are welcome to build lots on these and submit them to TSR, but please do not upload them anywhere else.

TS1 New Vacant Residential Lots

Its been a long and busy summer, and while I've been away my Replacement Residential Lots have been uploaded to the site. I made these some years ago, and only recently realised that I could share them with the Sims 1 community here.

When I first played TS1 I wanted to build houses, and became frustrated that I kept having to remove the previous house and landscaping. I was also disappointed that the layout of the lots in lot view didn't quite match up with the NHood view. I recreated all 41 lots in Old Town as residential lots, demolished the houses and tidied up the land.

I then changed the size of the lots, added fences, trees, and water where shown in NHood view, and relaid the roads to match the NHood view. I even moved the mailbox and path of some lots so that they faced the correct road (according to the house address)!

These are all now available for download, so you can create a blank neighbourhood, install the lots, and start building your own houses on them. Let me know how you get on with them! I'm very happy for you to upload houses you build on these lots to TSR, but nowhere else, please.

I've received some kind messages asking about me during my prolonged absence from TSR. Thank you.

Well, I eventually moved house - twice - (its a long story!) and I now live in wet and windy Wales. I have also finally rebuilt, upgraded, and re-installed my main computer. Since then I've been ill for quite some time, but I now really do expect to be back and contributing very soon, and the first step was to purchase and create this new mini-site.

Now, what colour to choose - Blue: its too much like the rest of the site, Pink: not really me, Grey: a bit drab maybe, but it sets everything else off nicely - Grey it is. Now what else is there to play with here ...
