Hatchet Falls Lots and Updates

[Ellatrue]

I thought I would upload the lots for Hatchet Falls separately for anyone who wants them but isn't interested in the entire neighborhood. A number of these lots have been tweaked and updated with fixes and changes, so if you have Hatchet Falls I would recommend you download these as well. My apologies for the large image size; my game runs in a large resolution and I can't be bothered to futz around with the pictures for an hour after spending so much time on the actual neighborhood.

THESE LOTS NEED RIVERVIEW TO WORK -- Please see the hatchet falls thread for download requirements


The Church of the Golden Gnome:
Updated to function as a library so that there's a point to the lot. If you don't want your sims learning things in a church or going there to study, just delete the bookcases. The lot also has a picnic/buffet and a fishing spot with angelfish and deathfish.

Whalemart:
Contains the grocery store, the bookstore, and the spa all in one monster lot to rule them all. Updated to include the spa for the job opportunities and because the sims still roll wants for it. Minor tweaks made to the parking lot; if you don't already have the version with the spa you should download this one. I will update it in its own already existing thread.

Hatchet Bay Beach:
My take on the local beach. Less California, more East Coast, more pampas grass. Includes a telescope added to the playground, multiple chess sets, coffee/juice bar, and an easel for your artistic sims so that there is something to actually do at the beach other than plan a wedding. Various objects have been "upgraded" by the local mad scientist; I don't know if this will be included in the package, but in my game there is a bonus mood effect from using some of the grills, chairs and benches.

Science Center: this will be updated in its own thread, but I made some minor tweaks to fix a weird bug with the false garden above ground.

Central Park: This park has been rebuilt to look wilder and more rural; I've updated it so the game will recognize it as a large park lot type rather than a small park and draw more sims.

Motel Sleezopolis: For your romantic one night stand. Includes super classy wedding suite! In the game this lot counts as a community pool. Note the single tasteful room for those who can't stand the eye bleed.

LOL! Wanda's Yard Wonderland reminds me of a place on the highway between Redmond and Bend, Oregon, called The Funny Farm!

I have a question that perhaps you can help me with, perhaps not...

I've been running Hatchet for a couple of weeks, all is well, then I went a bit "delete the cache" crazy and some of the community lots disappeared. I get them back in order, all except for the school. They can take art classes, so it's not bad placement, but none of the kids will attend class. The bus shows up and they just default back to their old spots, so now my entire town is full of derelict stupid children. I added a second school just in case it was the lot that was buggered, but no luck there either. Any idea what I did wrong or how I can fix it? Thanks....

[Ellatrue]

Not a clue. A replacement school should work just fine.

I get them back in order, all except for the school.

I've read about kids not going to school after some rabbit hole buildings in an established town have been messed with. I can't guarantee it would work, but try deleting all schools and placing a new one from a fresh town map and see if they start using it.

[Ellatrue]

Remember, these lots need Riverview to work.

You could always just take the school out and have the kids actually skill during the day instead of being useless. You won't get to choose their trait when they age, but you can always cheat to change that.

[MizzCerise]

FYI-turns out all my towns are now without learnin', and there appears to be no fixing it at this point. At MTS3 help they are comparing the issue to what happens to Mac users when they delete cache files. I even uninstalled your town (as it was the newest) and replaced it to no avail. Prolly not the right place for this discussion, but since we're on about it anyway, may as well warn about what I reckon to be the 'WorldsCache' files being the one not to mess with in the future...

[Ellatrue]

Bizarre. I have no idea why it won't allow you to replace the school. The neighborhood is just a saved game, not a world file. Did you do something to the world files?

[MizzCerise]

Yeah, I deleted the 'WorldCache'. Just seems that there is some element that is refusing the replace/replicate itself. Could just be me though, but figured I'd mention it in case someone else has come across such a problem. Sorry, it's not your town at all (which is lovely) so I didn't mean to hijack. Took me awhile to realize it.
