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 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.

My Willow Creek:
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJ2oXcMVOW8LhH6o8VyZatXwE4_QHnMjgwnGlJQ4I5ypb6ppbMxyx7fS5HJSczbWAMs1fohxBM6KfT65QHYAFenDedWuhMwoz-crWAoa1HnrzrLN4G_qXa8QZcAuotYXDShpX3PCjFy8SP6rO8wtfKEoFZGBoRF9Y58km7bARgdC8YPrxt-YQlLdeY3w=s16000

I'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.

Here 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.

Pigeon Hill Rental Cottage
The cottage is actually based on a cottage I visit with my family every summer, just a little bit remodeled to fit the game (the bedrooms are much smaller IRL). It's situated on a hill called "Duebakken" which means Pigeon Hill so that's where the name comes from.

The Victorian Villa
This is just a shell, since most of what I used inside is CC and very specific to the Indian family who lives there in my save.

Sage Estates I left entirely as they were, as I saw no need to change anything. I also never play those lots so they don't matter that much to me. I just have big families living there.

Only two original houses remain in their place here. Brook bungalow has been moved to a smaller lot in Foundry cove, and the other buildings are new. Here is a big modern farmhouse, a very seventies brown brick villa with a pool and another modern house I took from the gallery and redecorated (Woodland - shell by summerrplays).

In Foundry Cove not one original building remains, the closest is Brook Bungalow which has been moved to Bargain Bends and gotten a remodeled garden. Garden Essence, where BFF used to live, is now a huge French-styled modern farmhouse, with a cellar as well as two floors. The ultimate big house on a big lot and one of my the builds that I'm really proud of. Daisy Hovel and Streamlet single are both wooden cottages, one smaller one a bit bigger. Crick Cabana is now a Victorian style wooden house with a small garden to the side. All of these are my own builds and houses I am really pleased with.

Inside this is a boho color bomb, very specific to the family I built it for. A single artist and her daughter.

This is called Rindle Rose because that's where I had originally thought to place it, but it worked out better in the Streamlet Single lot.

With the exception of the gym, my communal building looks very much like the originals on the outside, but with important differences, making them fit for the idea of a very upscale town.

The gym is entirely removed and replaced with EA's fancy Chez Lama restaurant with formal dress wear. It's a fairly beautiful build and I actually hasn't changed anything in it yet.

Blue Velvet Jazz Bar
The nightclub Blue Velvet is now a jazz-bar instead. I felt an upscale bar next to the fancy restaurant made more sense than a nightclub, but you can still see the base as the building itself remains the same. I just added some new decor and a few more tables. I've also added speakers that play jazz, but the piano plays center stage.

Municipal Muses
The 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. Several of my sims have gotten married here as it is a quite beautiful garden to get married in.

Magnolia Blossom Park (Café)
I always felt the bathroom building in Magnolia Blossom Park was too beautiful to only be a bathroom, so I changed it into a café with some seating inside, but more seating outside. (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. (How I wish we had combinable lots!)

In the park itself, I expanded the playground and made a giant sandbox so toddlers have activities too. 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?

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!

I wanted a japanese district before we got Mt.Komorebi. These houses didn't really fit there so I left them here. There's a restaurant and a maker space plus three residential lots. I've built the restaurant and smallest residential, downloaded the rest.https://i.imgur.com/pmjS2Ee.png

@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. It's my only mod, just couldn't resist :blush:

I think this is the most amazing re-do of a world I've seen.? I'm stunned. I think I need to grab a can of gasoline and go burn my Willow Creek down because it's an eyesore next to this.?

My Willow Creek has quieted down and I should work on it, but I still really like some of the builds I have there, such as that outdoor restaurant in Foundry Cove and the beauty salon in Pendula View. The empty residential house in Pendul View is very lovely, I can't wait to live there with some of my sims (I just don't know who will move there, yet). My vampire Goth matriarch lives in Ophelia Villa. Oh and my latest gallery find was that beautiful base game museum in Crawdad Quarter.

Thank you so much! I've edited it way too many times. But please I don't want to be responsible of your sims becoming homeless :lol:

I have a question for all the builders on here, when you redo these maps and change up all the lots, if you start a new save in that world do you get your new layout? Or do you have to go back and put all the lots back in all over again? I tried this once before like 3 years ago or so, and the next time I started a save in Willow Creek I got the default map and my version was no where to be found.

I have to agree with @DaniRose2143 that your Willow Creek makes mine feel so very basic, @musteni. :lol: I honestly put very little effort into Willow Creek in my current save game. Perhaps because I'd just gotten bored with the world as a whole with it being one of the only worlds we had for a while when the game first came out. I dunno.

Anyway....Mine is still mostly all just residential. All of the homes have been renovated, but nothing special to mention.

Magnolia Park got the standard park treatment in my game, which just means it's got a lot more 'stuff to do' than it originally did. It's not one I visit all that often though.

Crawdad Corner kept it's place as the only neighborhood in the world with community lots. All of the originals were replaced/renovated, but that's about it. It still holds a Library, Gym and Nightclub, just like it originally did. The museum, however, was replaced by a Cafe with a small playground and wedding arch beside it.

Sage Estates is still upscale homes, with one family of note long in residence there. One branch of the Tinker family has made their home at Oakenstead.

Courtyard Lane got a Tiny home at Rindle Rose and then just standard renovations at the other residential locations. The tiny home is residence to one of my played sims, and other families of note are one branch of the Beaker clan, who live at Brook Bungalow and some offspring of the Cavazos and Watson families who live at Riverside Roost and Pique Hearth, respectively.
