A Better Bridgeport-Final Update Uploaded! Download Now!

I love Bridgeport. It's is my absolute and only favorite world in the sims 3. But, every time I start a new game, I always find myself editing the world before I play it. Then I wanted all my edits saved,so i saved my edited Bridgeport into one non-played save. So when I want to start a new game in a Bridgeport I liked instead of the boring EA Bridgeport, I go into the un-played save, and click Save As. Once that's done, I made a new game in my version of Bridgeport without having to do all the edits all over again. So I have edited this save for years by adding new lots, new neighbors, and new objects as expansion packs are released so I can still play my Bridgeport with new EP content. Then, I thought "What if I can upload this version of Bridgeport? Would this version change people's perspective on Bridgeport?" But seeing that my version is a save and not a packaged file and I don't know how to use CAW, I disregarded it.

But, thanks to a fellow simmer, I found out that I can upload my saved world just as a save, and other people can download it.

This is my version of Bridgeport!

First off, The Hills. I've added 3 more houses and a fishing spot(for unicorns to appear) on the left hand side. there are celebrity families that live in each, except the smallest one. there are sims that live in the small one, but they're not celebrities.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-666.jpg"width=600"

As we go up the Hills, there were 2 parks here which i removed. That white house was built by me. Its a party mansion, like the rest of the houses, but it has a lot more bedrooms and bathrooms, and the best views. This is the only thing that is entirely made by me. the celebrity that lives here is not mine though :P . near that is the Equestrian Center, conveniently located for celebrities who want a horse. Some celebrities who live on the Hills do already have horses. You might occasionally see them running up and down the Hills :-)

This is a close up on the house I built. This is actually my first Sims 3 house.

Some changes to the houses behind the school.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-672.jpg"width=600"

I removed those God-awful color houses and put these here. These houses are from alexspoom13's world Metrotopia. I thought these would be perfect here.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-670.jpg"width=600"

I upgraded this pre-exsisting house.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-671.jpg"width=600"

Now we move at the Bridgeport Acres park in front of the school and the street next to it. I added GEN objects and a wedding spot. Next to it is the grocery store, the fire station, and the Red Rendezvous from Twinbrook, which I made into a coffeehouse.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-673.jpg"width=600"

I made big changes to the R.R.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-685.jpg"width=600"

Added ST objects and buffet table, in case your sims are hungry.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-682.jpg"width=600"

Turned the empty second floor into an arcade mixed with LN and ST objects.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-683.jpg"width=600"

Put dual stages on the third floor. One for ST performers, other for LN bands. The R.R. is best of both worlds! :-)
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-684.jpg"width=600"

In Mariana Field, I put the ST park stage, and GEN objects.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-675.jpg"width=600"

All the LN venues are still here in my version, and there are two extra clubs I squeezed in for more variety. One of them is located behind the library called the Cobra, the dance club from Coasterboi's world Los Aneigos.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-674.jpg"width=600"

The other one is located near the business complex. It's a disco club called The Metro. This was supposedly a Late Night pre-order item for those who are from Europe.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-676.jpg"width=600"

I replaced the Llama Co stadium with the Binder Clips Center, for Big Show performances
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-680.jpg"width=600"

Speaking of ST venues, over to the industrial district behind Waylon's Haunt, there is MN8 the Live Show venue, and P.U.R.E. Warehouse the Private Show venue. I added LN objects and buffet tables for both.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-677.jpg"width=600"

I redid the layout for the Banzai Lounge. added ST objects, of course.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-681.jpg"width=600"

At the Butterfly Dome, I saw a little altar that I thought would be perfect for weddings.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-678.jpg"width=600"

***Supernatural Update***

Next to the Butterfly Dome, I placed the Fae Ray Arboretum
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-967.jpg"width=600"

Inside the dome, I added 4 fairy houses, and put the Fountain of Youth (store item) in the center.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-1389_zpse6baf3b4.jpg"width=600"

http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-955.jpg"width=600"

Not a lot of people know this, but under the cemetery was a secret vampire hideout, which I upgraded.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-968.jpg"width=600"

Across the street from the cemetery, I put the Elixir Shop.
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p538/simsfan95173/Screenshot-1151_zps76e14a6a.jpg"width=600"

As you go up the hill past the cemetery, there is a wooded area with a huge lake where I placed the Supernatural Hangout named "Moon" I downloaded this lot from the exchange from a simmer named Antonouza.

Deleted the hospital and science lab and added a combo rabbithole instead, in place of where the old science lab was. It's the one from Starlight Shores called Holy Cow Memorial Hospital. (In case you're wondering, all the premades from both workplaces had their jobs transferred here)

Some other changes I made:

As of 10/14/13

- Added 2 empty lots for you guys! One next to the film studio, other behind the Festival Lot.

- Added the Barrier to Entry System store item to the Big Show venue, Private Club venue, and the Live show venue.

- Deleted one of the hidden islands due to routing/lag problems

- Removed the 4 ports in front of the Butterfly Dome (the area is barely routable for houseboats to dock, still can pass through, but cant dock)

-Added Surf Station store item to the beach and the fishing spot.

-Deleted parking spaces on all community lots and replaced them with decorative one with fake cars for realism & to reduce lag.

-Added the comic book register to the Consignment store.

-Added LN objects to ST venues and vice versa. there's a nice mix of objects to each venue. LN & ST are better together!

-Your sims will not be denied access to any LN clubs, except Plasma 501. To me vampire lounges are unique, and access should be limited. You have to be a vampire, or a celebrity (any level) to get in. Other than that, all the other clubs welcome anyone. there are bouncers at some clubs, but don't worry, there just there for realism :P

-Added a LOT of residents! None of the new residents are made by me. These are sims from other worlds. they're are sims from Los Aniegos, Appaloosa Plains, Hidden Springs, and Starlight Shores. I added this many to have more variety of sims, and to have that crowded city feeling. You will never see the same group of sims at a venue, which is what I tried to achieve. The original Bridgeport residents are still here.

- Several households, both new and preexisting, now have pets.

- Added several premium content items from the Store. You don't need to have all the Store items in order for the save to work. Any items you don't have will simply won't be there.

- No Custom Content.

Hope you enjoy a Better Bridgeport! :-)
