I have been gradually adding traffic signs and lights to make it less of a chore but had forgotten completely about drains and manhole covers. We do have plenty of them in RL
Progress is slow because I am procrastinating about sorting out the beach area. I can't get the sims into the water to swim. I may need to level the ground under the water a bit better. Hopefully that will fix it.

At least Fenbury doesn't look like it has acne. You may have noticed I have added an extra spawner just for me but in case you missed it
As they say little things please little minds

Each of the Gro stations has a stack of 10 spawners under it. Then greenhouse tends to land on the lot facing the wrong direction and tends to need turning. Each time it is turned it leaves behind the 10 spawners and adds another 10 to the place where the Gro stations land each time it is turned. You can end up with hundreds of spawners on the lot. I try to be sure to turn it no more than once. If I have to turn it more than that I usually start deleting the spawners.

When I put Fenbury into testing I shall also add my rabbit hole rugs and see what the game play looks like. I was wondering if anyone would like to see pictures of this.

Would love to see how Fenbury is progressing @Bettyboop55 and see pictures of your game play!
After WW2 a lot of town and city landscapes had changed as a result of the bombing and housing was in very short supply. It wasn't until the 1950s that there was sufficient quantities of materials and enough money to start large scale building projects. Most homes built around this time were very utilitarian. Very plain, very simple lines. This house dates from this time. The only thing to have changed since is probably the windows. Obviously there were exceptional advant garde buildings. Nothing much was to change from the drab and practical until the Festival of Britain. This brought a burst of creative energy which went from houses to dinner plates. By then these houses were already occupied. Solidly built they have lasted well and renovated can command quite large sums of money.
Please note I will be moving the dustbin from in front of the gateway

The corner I have been working on is by Fenbury Green. When I first placed the lot for the Green I earmarked the spot next to it as an observation point. It has taken me a couple of years to do something about it but here it is.
I took quite a few pics to check the lot out from various angles and make sure it did not block the sea views for Fenbury Green bandstand.
As for the lot itself most seaside towns would not provide such good amenities for fear of theft and vandalism. Some councils will do it however, mainly for the benefit of the tourists. I am going to pretend Fenbury Town council values the tourists and residents alike.
Obviously there is some finishing to do on the lot. I am fairly convinced there is an ice cream cart but cannot remember which pack it came from. There also needs to be a rubbish bin. As for the concrete fencing, I had to remove some of it when I repaired a rip in the terrain. It will be going back as we don't want any sims diving off the cliff edge

So please let me introduce the first family of Fenbury. Every EA town has a first family, so mine for Fenbury is the Fenbury-Bryte family. These are the aristocrats who will inhabit Fenbury Manor. They should be correctly titled Lord and Lady Fenbury-Bryte but the limitations of the naming convention in CAS would not let me do this
Lord Lucian Fenbury-Bryte, current owner of the Manor, stoney broke, historian and secret writer of historical romantic fiction !
Lady Alice Fenbury-Bryte, wife and distant cousin of Lucian and his brother, the Honourable Simon. In order to raise money she runs a market garden (a point I had forgotten but fortunately I have space for a market
Tom Fenbury-Bryte, officially the Honourable Thomas Fenbury-Bryte and the only son and heir to the title. This is important because his uncle Simon has no children (legitimate that is) and Tom wants to join the Army. I see some very stormy clouds on the horizon when he tells his parents.
Finally his sister.
The Honourable Fenella Fenbury-Bryte, who is pony mad. That is all she can think about at the moment.
My apologies for posting all this in a CAW thread but I did want you to see that work on Fenbury progresses, albeit very slowly at times.

I'm sure you'll have lots of fun testing Fenbury with the fabulous Fenbury-Bryte family @Bettyboop55 .
Hope they won't discover too many routing problems
Anyway, I like the backstory. I look forward to seeing some more of the families, I think they're fascinating!
I didn't know the tagger mod existed ! For my own version I might try it because I will be using other mods as well. Thank you for the suggestion

Anyway I have been landscaping round one of my favourite spots. The pathway and fencing still need work but it is beginning to look the way I want.

It's on the river Fen but I wanted to show progress at the back of the lot.

Beautiful landscaping! Love the area around the watermill ... a perfectly peaceful place for sims to fish and relax

I would ask that all those busy building new worlds post lots of pictures. I love sitting here and looking at them
