So I worked very hard, and long last night, but I did not get it done. I think realistically, it will be a couple more days, which disappoints me, but what can you do?
This is what I got done last night;
recolored, placed and decorated City Hall ( my very first recolor!)
finished Military base
Placed and decorated the Stadium lot.
Revamped North Downtown with 4 40x40 lots

This is what needs to be done,
Finish Business Center..
Finish Theater and diner lot
finish Lake from Friday the 13th
Laundromat
Bistro
Graveyard
if I have time, I'd like to recolor the Stadium
I exported a copy last night, and I thought anyone who wanted to, could do some beta testing on it, and report back any issues they find.
Beta Testing
The whole purpose of beta testing is to find any flaws in the world, and make it as playable as possible.
As a Beta tester you will download the beta version of the World and start playing it like a normal world, only in a more critical manor. This is how I play test a new world;
Throw a bunch of sims into the world. It helps if you have a bunch of pre-made sims in your bin. Make sure you have a bunch of school age sims to test the school routing.
Get a sim a job at each of the rabbit-holes to make sure routing is good. No one is getting stuck or anything like that.
Take your sim to all the community lots and have them interact with everything they can.
What will beta testers be looking for?
* Road Tears
* Lot tears
* Floating Trees and Bushes
* Accessibility to Lots
* Terrain Abnormalities
* Sim Routing

When you find an issue, post it here so I can fix it.
To install the new town you must first uninstall the Build version.
*Uninstall through the Launcher
*Remove any spooky Town files from the worldcaches file located here;

This will also give everyone a chance to check their lots. If you used any Custom Patterns, I removed them all in Custard. SnowHawke, yours had a ton of CC patterns so you might want to check, and fix anything with EA textures. Also, If I don't have the same store stuff you have, the game can sometimes make strange replacements.
