Uploaded a home for the cliffside lot that is across the bridge from the movie theater. There are pictures in my archive thread, or will be soon as I will be working on that after I submit this update ;) The link to the house is at the bottom of the "Suggested Additional Content" section, scroll way down to find it, it's called Endurance. :D Don't forget to Rec!

The launcher is not cooperating, or something is wrong. Not sure which, but I'm getting a system error when I try to upload. The green bar fills to the end, then gives me the red failure circle and says "system error occurred"...I'll get it up as soon as I can, I'm very impatient to share this world that I've been working on for MONTHS and had quite the ordeal with when I was cleaning out the CC, I want to share this now! :x
OMG....as I was typing this my most recent attempt w/ the launcher was finishing up, and I got the success icon instead of that maddening red circle. Running off to see if its really true!

In the process of uploading the final version. Look for it tonight (or today...depending on location :P) on the exchange (i hope), or mediafire (if the latter doesn't work out). I'll post the link as soon as I can.
Pasted some new links to the "Suggested content" section (scroll down...way down)

Prepopulated the world and am trying it out in my own game, will upload a BETA V2 soon for anyone who would be willing to try out the prepopulated version. This version also has a few fixes and additional homes added to fill up some of the hoods more until more donations are made, if ever :)Got a good report so far on the last BETA from AHENRICHS, thanks for your help!
12-27-10
BETA available, click the link below. The world file and all the dl content were scanned with dashboard and pack cleaner, all files should be safe. ;) There are no sims in the world at this time. I am in the process of learning how to pre-populate the world however, so in the near future there will likely be a BETA v2 to test this out and make sure that the sims transfer. Thanks for everyones help so far, I am still taking submissions, if you would like to donate your lot or sims to the world please say so. If you do so after I have uploaded the final version or if I am no longer adding lots or sims to the world to be uploaded with it (Which I still am at this point), I will provide links in this OP under a heading of "additional content" should anyone be interested.

Think that I have ironed out most of the major kinks in the world, now I'm looking for an outsider to give it a shot. Anyone?
12-18-10: Finally got time and motivation to download the most recent version of CAW and continue working. In the process of playing the world for a while to see how everything works and looks, found some things to tweak, but the world is basically ready, could use a few more houses, but all the important stuff is there. Once I tweak it a bit to fix somethings that are bothering me and easy fixes I will upload it for a BETA test. Also, new pix on page two, and updated the content list....Turns out I didn't have much to change..:( aw well
10-21-10: This used to be in the title, but I didn't hear back from any of the below...I'm going to take that as a yes! (12-18-10)(attn: Razbrry9875, and histbear) I downloaded content from each of you to use in the world, it would be uploaded with the world when it's done.
From Razbrry I got your Halliwell mansion
From Histbear, I got your Addams family mansion
Please let me know if you object to me using your content. :D
10/21/10 Update: added the new additions to the list of downloads and linked them. Going to go work on a few more community lots today. :D Done with several more community lots! Added pics to page two. All I have left now are a few parks, 2 hangouts, and some fishing spots. Whew! Gimme another day like today and I could have this puppy up and rolling! haha.
9/18/10 Update: Pictures added! The campus and horror district graveyard are complete.
9/14/10 Update: Pictures on Page 2, added Home alone house to list of links and will add to the world.
7/24/10 Update: Last night I downloaded the house of The Texas Chainsaw Murder, and put it in the world, on that note I thought it would be really interesting to put all the horror themed homes and people in a hood of their own. It will be just down the lane from sunny beaches and bright green normalcy as a blighted land with withered and scorched trees and not a blade of grass to be seen. This is where our resident serial killers, vampires, witches/warlocks etc will call home, they will be the proverbial "wrong side of the tracks". I'll try and upload pictures this afternoon after I work on it some more.

Edit: 7/13/10: Build Me Hollywood Baby!
The world is going to be called "Lost Hollywood", the Island is themed from TV just like all the houses, and hopefully community locations. And maybe it IS that island, that will be one of the mysteries simmers can explore if they want to. I did see another post about someone making that Island from Lost, thought that was kinda funny, but thinking about it, I bet there are several copies of that Island made into a Sim world by now :D.
Anyways, about the lots I need, the choice is pretty much up to you, the builder, I've included some ideas to get your creativity flowing below, but they are by no means definitive. If you want to make a different house, I'm all for it. I'm going to have a lot of lots to fill!
Some Guidelines for the Lots:
-Must be a house that is featured in a TV series or Movie, can be from the past or present.
-Exterior should look as much like the real thing as possible given the games limitations.
-Interior is more open to creativity since not all the houses will have available floor plans. If you want to, and can find a floorplan then try to stick to it, that would make the house more authentic. If you cannot or it would just be too big of a bother to look for and follow a floor plan, then design it how you wish, trust me, I'm not going to research all the houses to find out :wink: If you do use a floor plan though, tell me and I'll include that in the details about the lot when I upload the world.
-Content can include anything from Base, WA, HELS, and AM. I have all of those as well as a number of store items. Don't worry too much about what I do and don't have from the store, if something is "off" when I check out your house in my game because I don't have something, I'll just replace the missing item with something I have. NO THIRD PARTY CONTENT, I do not download much from third parties, and I will not most likely. Patterns should be okay since I think most patterns transfer with downloads.
-Homes should have at least a double bed and a crib as well as all the other necessities so that townies can use them.
-Also need community lots for everything from base to ambitions.
-Please be sure you don't have the doll or other corrupted content with your lot.
-Type a lot description, incl what show its from, who lived/visited there in the show or movie, other details about what happened in that house or lot such as it's haunted, many people have died, the couple raised 7 kids, it was swallowed into a hellmouth...
Guidelines for the sims:
-No third party CC, custom patterns are okay, store and EP/SP content is okay.
-Should be someone from a TV series or Movie past or present, dead or alive, doesn't matter.
-Type a bios for your sim on this thread, I will include it with your sim when I put them in the world, I'm somewhat certain that Bios don't transfer with downloads.
Even better if you want to make the house and the sim that goes with it :D, but it's not required
Any help is greatly appreciated, the links below will be helpful for you builders who need a visual reference, there are many houses featured on them, take your pick. If I get more than one entry for the same house/lot I will post links to each even if I don't use all but one. Credit will be given where it's earned, in the world that I upload, if I use your lot (and I'll try to let you know if I do) I will put your username in the houses description

You know what, just check out the MTS sims section...there are tons of celeb sims there, and many of them look really awesome! So long as you're not too afraid of CC :wink:
Have fun!
