Update 8/10/2020
I think I've reached the halfway mark. I have finished designing around half the lots in this world! I have finished the academy ( dojo ) as well as two additional parks, and I have gotten started on the second set of starter homes. Here is a preview of them. You should just barely be able to make out the dojo in the distance.

I also managed to complete all of the houses surrounding the lakes. I hope you guys like them.

It will still be awhile before public Beta testing can begin, but I've made some progress. On the downside, I decided it was best to get rid of a couple of the cash registers in the world, to decrease the number of sims that would have to be placed in households just to operate them. I got rid of the one in the library, and the World Adventures food register in the mall, since kid's can't use it, even though at one point I thought that they could. I must have confused it with the Seasons festival registers for some reason.
Any comments or suggestions at this point?
