I must say, after drooling over the 90 plus pictures taken of this island city, I've never seen such a grungy harbor city look so beautiful. I'm currently attending a college in such a city myself, sans beauty, and I must say, I would rather take courses at Charlton any day!

I just patched to the CC-Shredding Pets Patch, but provided EA (or a modder, more likely) can fix the problems with this newest patch I will be coming right back here to download. Good riddance to Bridgeport, Now I can have a REAL city!

I hate to sound like a total newb but...does this work with ONLY the base game, or do you have to have the others?

I'm dying to use it but I only have the base game!

You can try with your own responsibility, but the game requirements listed for a working combo are on the post. Was not made for just base game.

No bookshop

Very pretty picture. However, there is no community lot with that name, nor is there any lot which displays the bookshop icon, nor any lot which sells books (other than the consignment shop, which had some gardening books) that I can find in the neighborhood I downloaded and installed. Nor can I find any way to add one using "Edit Town" function. No bookshop, just a library, in the "library". I can't even change a lot to that type. Please explain, using very short words, for those of us who do not know how to create and build an entire world, which you have done a beautiful job on, where to buy books. Thank you.

Bookstore is on that lot. You will need jynx's rabbitholes, that are listed on the CC requirements. The bookstore rabbithole is entered from the front of the spa.

Sorry, I didn't go through all of the previous 138 (!) comments. 0_o Maybe it's been mentioned so please disregard my message if it has.

- there appears to be an issue with missing terrain paints. My Charlton Island community lots sport a grassy ground where I am sure should be some kind of pavement.
- Some of the lots have routing issues, especially the apartment lots. Sims can't find a front door or use some of the objects, like beds and bath tubs that were placed too close to walls to access.
- The church/graveyard lot has routing issues, too. Sims can't seem to enter or leave the lot due to some problem with gates and/or fences/walls.

That said, I absolutely love this world! It's easy to see how much time and effort it took to create it, and it's truly enjoyable to explore Charlton Island. Personally, I don't mind the issues I've come across as they can easily be fixed by myself but I thought I'd mention. :D

I really love this town, however, there's absolutely no 30x30 lots and maybe a few 30x40s, and no 40x40s.

I really wanted to fill my town with houses I already have, but no one really makes 20x20, 20x30, which is what lots this town mostly consists of.

That was the only bad thing about the town, which unfortunately caused me to forget about it.

Well, that's not different from EAxis' lots. They have lots of lot sizes that don't exist anywhere. My advice is to get AwesomeMod and create lot sizes as you require them. EAxis doesn't even offer their standard 30x40 lot for placement that they use all the time... Or a 60x60 ...

Hi there and thanks for the report. I can't test myself right now, and I have to say during my playtests I had no such issues. Routing worked just as it was suppose to, and the objects were usable. The terrain paint - did you get simsimillians INGAME terrainpaints?

Anyways, I will look into this at some point.

I'm sorry that you are not happy with the lot sizes in this world, but I simply can't please everyone.

"but no one really makes 20x20, 20x30"
Well I did. I could say no-one really makes +30x40 lots, but that would of course be a lie. I like smaller lots, so those are what I put to my world.

I'm kind of confused..... Is this pre-populated?

EDIT, less than 5 minutes later:
It is not, so based on what you said sims "come" to the world? I didn't know they did that. Also the forest houses are my favorite!

I love it! It's so beautiful! I love the multi-purpose community lots too.

My inventor/artist/sculptor started out in a tiny house in the harbour with scrap right outside. He moved to a lot with room for 50 sculptures when he detonated a junk pile and accidentally set fire to his house! He's now trying to marry a gardener so she can grow those life fruit for him.

I have a question: Is there a movie theatre? He keeps wanting to go see a movie and I haven't found a theatre.

The theater is at the same lot as arts gallery, restaurant and the internet cafe. The entrance is right across the road from the cityhall parking lot.
