Cladbridge-on-Stowe: An English Village ON THE EXCHANGE

These pictures show my new world set somewhere in the idylic English countryside. It is called Cladbridge-on-Stowe.

The world is a large map which covers a large valley with a winding river (the river Stowe) and the surrounding hills and farmlands. There will be a large market village, a church, railway station, manor houses and plenty of space for rambling and horse riding.

SPEC: I have aimed to make it to the best standards as possible, including spawners and all rabbit holes.

- It will need Riverview, World Adventures, Ambitions and Late Night to work.

- Some empty lots are included to accommodate extra expansion pack functionality. Notably the 60x60 ranch lot and space for the rennaissance fair (may need rezoning).

- Because I think rabbit holes are too big to convey British architecture I am using the basement method. Map icons may appear a distance from the actual lot entrances.

- Although it is not essential, I've been using the "unlocked" riverview distant terrain. It can be found over at modthesims:

The world will work without it but the sea will be clearly visible from most angles.

Furthermore, the world takes advantage of some of Simsample and GiLaNg's unlocked neighbourhood objects (which show up fine if you have ambitions) Thanks should also go to Regina at bogsims.com and MrCrumplebottom1 for some of the road textures.

PERFORMANCE NOTES: The world has been playtested for two sim weeks with little issue. At one point the game showed lag but using the cheat resetsim * fixed the problem. Needless to say, if any issues arise please don't hesitate to inform me.
