You have some pretty creative ideas here! I like the idea of remaking the whole neighborhood into a new theme. I especially like that cave home and seed shop. Just when I think I've seen it all in the Sims, something new surprises me :)

I will definitely take a snap shot of the whole town when I finish. That's a good idea!

Thank you all for the lovely comments! Hugs and hip bumps for everyone!
