Veilchen, yes I made it. I think you would need simcity4 to make the terrains in this way. I thought the default terrains were quite ugly so I made one I liked. The square on the right was to be the commercial district, though I've ended up not playing community lots at all since JM's clothing outfitter.
JM, yes some of the surfaces are a little uneven, I like that for landscaping ideas. Not many areas are more than a 15 degree slope, I alter max slope value so I can build there anyway. I quite like sloping sections for basements with windows along one side and so on.
"and more about random orbital bombardment around the edges" ? You make it look like your n'hoods have been bombarded? ::) ;D
Very cool! I tried making my own neighborhood maps (as I have Sims City 4), but I had mucho problems doing it. Apparently, Sim City 4 insisted on corrupting mt DirectX drivers every time it started up, so I would have to reinstall them. Then it would crash after 20 minutes. Then Sims 2 started going wonky after installing Sim City 4, so decided Sim City could go away since I always sucked at playing it anyway.
So thank you for the awesome new neighborhood. This was the type of thing I was looking to make for myself. :)

Witch, I've tried the terrain and it's very nice. This is the first time I downloaded terrain that properly displayed in the template chooser, all the others had the grid thing going. I just deleted them, perhaps unecessarily, but I am a little edgy as far as my computer is concerned. It is, after all, over 7 years old, but it tries very hard :D
The terrain surgery is wonderful, its about the first thing I was actually able to get accomplished after only two tries (the first time around my computer got stuck in mid-surgery).
Ardin, I've found my SimCity, it was #4 and my computer flipped its lid too *sigh*. So I guess I have to wait for witch to come up with more goodies. Love the winery, unfortunately my game can't handle large lots.
JM, one of these days you have to treat us to a peak at your favorite neighborhood. I have a few castles, but no fortresses :D

J. M. Pescado:
My neighborhood is sadly rather boring. I haven't actually built all that many fortress-like buildings, instead going for the relatively low-profile approach. The sims themselves are far more interesting than their dwellings.
Ancient Sim:
Tried this and it worked, although at first I thought it hadn't as there were no houses to be seen anywhere. Wandered around with my mouse and the hand kept appearing - they were all invisible. Maybe it was because I couldn't replace the first UNK number as it didn't exist in either the original neighbourhood or my new one.
SimsHost:
Is there a way to get a Sims 2 neighborhood terrain into Sim City 4 so that you can edit it? Or is it a one-way street?
