Champs-les-Sims Makeover

Hi!
I finally took the time to drag Champs-les-Sims into CAW to give it a makeover! The buildings are fabulous, so is the whole layout, but the surroundings are quite bland and unrealistic. Whoever has visited France, know lawns aren't to be seen in old towns, and gardens are surrounded by high hedges and walls...
So here's a video of the town before/after and another of the community lots... Enjoy! :)

    Very nice work! I always thought Champs Les Sims seemed a little unfinished, particularly the interiors. You really brought it to life.

    @TreyNutz Thanks! I agree about the empty feeling, especially compared to Shang Simla and Al Simhara!

    That looks really nice ! I've been so tempted just to push through my agitation with CAW and edit Champs, just so i can get rid of that ONE PIECE OF ROAD that annoys me so terribly.
    And because I would like it to be a playable town rather than a vacation town, and none of the other edits I've found work 100%

    @Pary my version works really good! :) And I've added small lots around the place, to take pictures - biking on the countryside or on my added streets etc... I'm doing the same with Al Simhara right now, but I think the only thing I need to do there is add a couple of diving spots -if the water is deep enough- and some picture friendly lots...

    I have one version that's a non vacation town, but every time you load and reload the game, the lots are small blue squares. I don't know why. Does yours do that too? I am just curious as to if it is due to not being edited properly, or something that happens with all versions.

    @Pary When the game loads the first time, the map is blue, but it fills in normally in a couple of seconds. But as I said, it's only the first time, then it works fine. What version do you have?

    @jillbg Is your makeover of Champs-les-Sims Available for download?

    @Moinesse No, not yet, but I'll see what I can do this W-E. I'll have to list all the CC first, and make a save file with the lots, as I couldn't place them in EIG. I'll also try the world on another computer first.

    @jillbg How are you going with your makeover of Champs-les-Sims?
    I love the appearance of that world, particularly love the houses.

    I look forward to downloading it when you are finished. :p

    I've spent more time trying different versions of makeovers of Champs than I care to admit, but I really like what you've done to just fill in and add life to what is already there. I recognize a bit of the CC from the videos so I can help you if you need to track down links. Just lovely!
