I have greatly enjoyed the "show me your Oasis Springs" thread and get so much inspiration from seeing all your versions of the worlds. So I figure it's time for another: Show me what you've done with Willow Creek!

My Willow Creek: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJ2oXcMVOW8LhH6o8VyZatXwE4_QHnMjgwnGlJQ4I5ypb6ppbMxyx7fS5HJSczbWAMs1fohxBM6KfT65QHYAFenDedWuhMwoz-crWAoa1HnrzrLN4G_qXa8QZcAuotYXDShpX3PCjFy8SP6rO8wtfKEoFZGBoRF9Y58km7bARgdC8YPrxt-YQlLdeY3w=s16000I've always seen Willow Creek as a rather upscale community. Somewhere to live if you have money and a certain class, so I've let this reflect the changes I've made in the community at large. I've tried to keep to the original style of the place, but more upscale, adding things like modern farmhouses and wooden houses in Victorian inspired style. Most houses are fairly big - suitable for large families.Pendula View & Sage Estate:Spoiler (Highlight to read)https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjq-Uei53SE6tKDVMdPUg5YyaoYmcTJd5WgYRgZgmdP4gYFP6bM12ecTAsxOoDENRybd1gKGSnOFn8irMpmYPyy19C3lisFZ8_IlyBf08INzYqVtVbEX9RbJ0MtepdiAW96kjNwKZA4OLqtVm1gshIMgBNWUJm2SnTqOPForVClCbb--_8Ca4-Tuo8IYw=s16000Here I have replaced Umbrage manor with a Victorian house (since I hated the layout of the original), made a mostly cosmetic renovation of Parkshore to make it more modern and built a small rental cottage on Hallow Slough for those who want to try living large but cannot afford it.

I've also added speakers that play jazz, but the piano plays center stage. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEijdoSmAd8xTYlVhNhqDUFyaM2uwtxapWxshQOZvZ4VSAevzd02lIPGfdv08VP_cK33Rw9siEcjaEp7MegHQyCaZSm1POEKDdjEoRyprfmEUHD2jHHN7LnkWy6C3XYXXfdPVOVe9ahv6cgqcT3DJKtMJ3NhgO7-nw5OT2EvrDokACIM5VFcPwaKLKtWUQ=w640-h352https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgagrjoKKTZmRKaz4AiyaRfid_4BUoup_JWUDf52v1aZbwvAzUP36PAwOd7drwhyQm6uo7rUoAKR2b2uRbRvCUQ2o8L-CjPWc-ZJoF9xK1k_D-lmvrgEXjy2DoCpPsxtSJrfNEyaUl1nBV2BQwupAUEWRKpgHBqZiNuHw7q7hHKy5s_5vPK-z9fJMQqTA=w640-h334https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEioxqn0aL6mcKGXXQ8TFCNTSesBZ4-_p7ZTdbQ4iL-CI12v4pfsdOyX4j9lZpgdQZMN4lDwltjYe6dJF0WS7IsckcV9ZIeSWMVssHqODWgPj_U_kVeTPzSTFgj1-Vf-r5SJzSIhsBU4oThEN9cNcy3GV3KnhXgqIg2hOiip_mlUjinzSX_sB0WXb--5mA=w640-h390Willow Creek ArchivesThe archive is much the same on the ground floor, but has gotten a new darker wood for their furniture which I felt was more appropriate for the community feel: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiaGDsbaGMiHurlJOB5tgSSY70sC4cjPMEh6lT2eu1dCSXW939fiWFIqR0pb2ssq1Hk2xSMOaKNvMpuKrB1NLa7-Agf0zw8uN3Nlv-1v21ns4qbLUt3yq68axOxpppxRTsr9Q5OD49gWEr0nSc5qIeDrzy7MoSfsYM1j6DxNpAVJFkO8N8IY6INiuYQQA=w640-h348The kids area is expanded with a doll house, some reading chairs and an activity table so the kids can draw and have fun while their parents are studying or reading: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi-0Lo-WY6uEVuIDE33SXnxII8is0AT42xwgVL5efBqIrvd9tnLXtulVaMO5PdITu5X93GLpFQG6rLtIy_krzJS1TeSX7FjA3kUnZL-yLrqEt3B1bX9QcKMC84q97zDLBrlKRBPZJV08oezajzrDhynSXuYe0tQ2eD9bQQkOgx5PShOmwkXaz0pM42EAQ=w640-h382Upstairs more desks with research computers has been added and outside a small café-area is open to the people walking along the street: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg2R78RZc5I129APrXKDNClBwKNm2x4zUA0Fgl9E8UI2tGiOZ_ila4hVD_KIsT-QrnkrxLS8Y2bsTexHLy7HXEJPMFYVTXUFKRXmQ-eaZw8atkhjI2ICzfAiX5TMPdFikYLCRoDyzjMkGZBZXNyKySOohYRr6ecEo1Hiymm7di6XO5svnOv59l4oh3XrQ=w640-h350https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9eqWpX8rbSj-D_H99HxmtAlAKe4PfObJUcvWMIIh9anh-SqwgqRQr-Snmo1j34TWnwxn3JSO7Lvzkl1q250zNugKil1wcfz7D0aEF1Smy2lGOEviCTg9w3ySiwxjxio8O1M5yqVpPX_CIGg1fEBpDt5wYcmL0gxMxS3sGRG5Wc_51nbyiVeXP8EIkXg=w640-h340Municipal MusesThe museum is my only art-museum and kept close to the original with most of the changes outside, where a outdoor café has opened and a wedding area has been set up.

(I used one of the toilet buildings for toilets instead). Right now the lot is set as a café instead of a park, and I use various clubs to make sure people still do the park activities.

I also added some yoga mats to the park. The public grills, picknick tables, fishing pond and chess-tables I left intact. I did add a big cherry blossom tree because I love them, and a magnolia tree, because how can the park be named Magnolia Blossom if it doesn't have any magnolias?https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj_nDj37e_s79U9-PsBLfB1PPr1QZX8S0Z2aNxCjI_COAmUGovCkZ-0yke4CJcSfC9ypZvtZcpVnx4-tfITbp7K-kqaam-D4shPYsJrtqUQO4mjwNX_vGg9cdt8J6xPX72Pj_mAwngqmzWINaybDjknWk5sJfYkCUupwntHqmc7oXRdj2OHrNAfxMDrvw=w640-h350

I see I'm not the only one to use Chez Lama :) Have you changed it in any major way or do you keep it as is? I would love a spa in Willow Creek, it would fit so well with the town vibe, but I could never do without the residential lots. I make sure every single NPC has a home in my games, so residential lots are so, so valuable. Especially in Willow Creek since I don't have buildings for single or couple sims the way I do in other worlds. In Oasis Springs, Yuma Height is a home for the elderly so 8 elderly people usually live there. In Newcrest I'm up to 5 apartment buildings & have one collective in Sulani that can also house eight and a terraced house in Windenburg which three families live in at the moment. I don't know how you can manage with three less residential lots!

@musteni That pond is beautiful. Is it swimmable? I also love the big Victorian house. Oh and the map is beautiful - where is it from?

@JAL Yes, it's actually a swimming pool! I mostly visit there when it's warm enough to swim. Thank you for the compliments on the house too. Here's the gallery info on them: Summer Fun At The Lake by IsegrimSims & Victorian Luxury Mansion by musteni. Map replacement is by 20th Century PLumbob.

I've edited four of the six sub-hoods.
The other two uses the existing houses as starter homes.

The Goths have a new home in Pendula view.

I kept their old house. Alexander will inherit it while Cassandra will get the new one.
Spoiler

I love the public space behind the house.

I deleted most of the lots in Crawdad Quarter.
I only kept the Bar. The other lots were replaced with a house for Nina and Dina, a house for Don Lothario, and a Bowling alley.

I made the Calientes and Don Lothario lore friendly.
Spoiler

The faux mother is gone and Don has his own TS2 styled home next door.

The bowling alley, the only one in the whole world.

I deleted the park and put in a community space.
I still have more landscape work to do for it.

It still has all the amenities of a park, plus the community space.
Spoiler

I tend to keep this set up.
It has a piano for sims who don't have the space at home, A podium for speeches, research computers and regular computers, a snack area...

The upstairs has a community garden, games, activities for kids, and yoga area.

The Sims 4 is so non-offensive, it's a bit boring.
That was the weakest Crumplebottom attack I have ever seen.

I replaced both homes in Sage Estates.

I don't play the Landgraabs, other that to give them retail businesses to own.
I have yet to fully decorate this house for them.

I love that house! I want it exactly where you have it! For the Goths also. Is it on the gallery?

I've been working on the old Goth mansion. Mostly interior renovating. When I'm satisfied, I plan to upload mine to the gallery.

@Simmingal, I kind of like that green house the shape it is. The neighborhood isn't a fancy one, so a house that is a very basic shape sorta fits in, in my mind.

Beautiful shots from everyone above in the thread as well. I'm enjoying this thread.

Yeah I think my problem with this neighborhood is that I like to build small tall and fancy houses
and neighborhood is like how about one story cheap but spacious houses and my brain is just no make it fancier since u at it :lol:

well that paired with suburbans that are like my discomfort zone if i ever have one

I mean I'm pretty sure the sheer amount of windows I'm using would make ts1 sims gasp in ''wow what a fancy house'' :lol:

If you want to go with the "cheap neighborhood" then two (or three) houses would work well on that lot. Personally I've decided that all of Willow Creek is fancy, so I just put a really big house there, but if you want to keep the bargain, then several houses - perhaps with shared hedges or fences would be one way to do it. Terraced houses would also work. That way you could always move in more than one family and keep it as a place for NPCs to live.

Idk I mean its not so much price of the lot (my poor sims usually start their lives in other more interesting places) but I just don't really feel like building whole mcmansion on it either

like averagely funded families will probably live there with their kids that tell horror stories about clownhouse at the end of street

do feel like if i do multiple houses it'd have to be 2 though just cause 8 sim household limit I have some "apartments"and such that ive set up for more households but tbh those are kinda pain to play with so many different sims to keep track of and then you can't make new bundles of joy which is kinda sad

I have my Garden Essence renovation finished. I did have to make a few alterations. For one the balcony on the long side had to be sacrificed. Trying to work in a door to it and having a floor plan I like weren't working well together so I removed it. There are balconies on the front and back plus the front porch, so that small one was overkill. I also added a deck and a pool to the back yard. So here it is...

Exterior: There is a continuity error. Those willow trees were replaced by oaks when I added the deck and pool.

Here is my map of Willow Springs. In this one I didn't include my Garden Essence redo. It stands out a bit much compared to anything else I have for that neighborhood at the moment. I do plan to redo the others and make a full Foundary Cove renovation in the near future.
