Okay - so Flickr came back, so I can access the images I uploaded earlier this week and share them with you.
I realized I didn't have any images of Forks aside from the main road through town -- so ...
There are a few residential areas in Forks proper -- "older town," the not-yet-named, modernish sub-division I shared months ago, the Sherwood sub-division, the agricultural area.
For the older area, built around the downtown area -- its a traditional neighborhood look and feel -- brick houses, etc.

Many of these house will see familiar as they are refits from original Port La Forks Sherwood sub-division.
You can see where they are located in this slightly outdated screen shoot -- that's them in the center between the town hall and the "modernish" homes.

So, if I am using these homes in a different area of Forks, what's in the Sherwood Sub-division? Glad you asked --- since the street names are all based on the Robin Hood stories, I thought this area should go more toward the Tudor style of homes, so I built a whole bunch from scratch. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have a lot of images of finished products in Flickr. But I do have some --
For instance, on Marion Road -- I build two new sets of townhouses (okay, I built them for a different world but they fit so well here, I decided to use them.) They still need to be play tested, but so far..

This is live-able house in the group.

Here are a few of the houses on Little John ..

These ones are obviously missing the landscaping --

And this is one from Robin Hood Loop -- obviously, not the final final version as the driveway doesn't reach the street yet, but almost.

And remember the Agricultural area I mentioned? Well, here is the home of the nectary "owners" --

The home is incomplete -- landscaping still needs to be done. If you look to the left, you can see where the Orchard will be. There is also a garden plot on the lot with special plants that are good for nectar. I will probably also build a barn.
If you look to the back right, you can see the "vineyard" lot in the background, planted with all kinds of specialty grapes.
On the back left you can see where the Nectary lot is located. And here are a few shots of that lot:

Okay -- I think that is all for now. Chat at you later.
