Newcrest

@BoergeAarg61 I love that idea about vegetarian restaurant, sounds awesome! I bet the gallery also has that tagged, right? Should check that out.
@Camkat I wonder how that graveyard works with lots of urns and when you sim visit! Also I love the idea of outdoor theatre. Sounds like a nice place for your sims to hang out!

First of all I downloaded a custom made map for the Newcrest area, it just makes me wanna use that area more. Newcrest in my game is a university community area, university housing, student bar... There's a storyline in my game about secret society and Newcrest area. I'm also planning to put more housing there. Like the idea that some of former professors live there! And the kids just come tease them at their houses xD Wish you could throw eggs or tomatoes or veggies to their front doors!

@joRN1414 As you did ask - what kind of area your Newcrest is? :)

@Chynetta The graveyard in my current save of Newcrest has 26 urns/headstones. (There were a few accidents... :D ) Anyways, I do have the lot set to generic so that all of my families when I play them can go there and add to it, (or in one case they took one away...) and it's actually very... boring. Ha! I've not seen a ghost or anything like that spawn while I've been there, but my sims mostly go daytime so maybe that is why? I think I expected it to be a lot more exciting than it actually was, but it is a great place to store all the graves so I don't have to have ghosts breaking my sinks nightly. ;) It also works as a nice reminder for me of sims past.

@Chynetta : Mine is a hot mess. unfinished builds, random restaurants, a waterpark I got from the gallery! I was looking for ideas so I can bulldoze everything and make a real world out of it! LOL.

Reading through this thread made me realize I'd never even touched that neighborhood lol. Mine is still completely empty. I'm getting some good ideas on how to use it from y'all, tho.

@BoergeAarg61 : I love your burger place.

Newcrest is a modern city for me; lots of homes and a shopping district. Typically that's where I place my downloaded lots that I get from the gallery.

Newcrest is my building stage! One day I intend to make a save file where there is a theme and a complete town but mostly I use Newcrest to try out building styles, nice to know I'm not the only one with a messy Newcrest town :smiley:

I place mostly just community lots in Newcrest. My Sims rarely live in there.

@Kimmer : my original idea was to do that.
@KaylaxCapers : I started doing that too.

@joRN1414 Yeah, it really helps, hearing from others how they arrange their worlds :) Good ideas here definitely!
@BoergeAarg61 Ah, ofc, you have the menu vegetarian :D I think also the restaurant needs to look like it fits with the menu, I think some greenery around the building!
