Friendship Cove (Fixed version = all EP's / Lite version = WA and AMB) More lots in thread

[More lots made just for FC will be added to this thread as they are uploaded]
Friendship Cove is a medium sized world with lots for all the EPs up to Island Paradise. It has 3 Ports, the 4 IP Dive Lots, and 2 Resorts.
This New Englandy beach town was created in the spirit of generosity that sustains the Sims Community. No Sim is an island, or no one sims as an island, something like that. Its takes all of us to make this game work.
Friendship Cove was inspired by and uses the height map of Castaway Cove made by Cameranutz II at Sims Crossing.
Julia at N99 loved Castaway Cove from its very beginning, but with 10 EP’s the game has outgrown that tiny world. So we at N99 conspired together to design and create a new Castaway Cove.
We renamed it Friendship Cove in honor of the thing that keeps us simming year after year, EP after EP
So while Trystiane did the CAW work, the spirit and beauty of this world comes from all the great ladies at N99! A special shout out to Allears23 who made the starter residential houses in the hood, Max who remade her Colorbox Townhouse Shops cc-free for us, Grammycat who did the most detailed playtesting. Rose and Nyx provided technical and moral support to the CAWer. Have fun!

Friendship Cove Lite (Community lots and rabbitholes for Basegame WA and AMB only):
http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=7623455
General Information:
Built with all EP's, the free Riverview World, and 2 objects from Barnacle Bay.
If you are missing Riverview or Barnacle Bay: The game should still load fine, but you may be missing a couple rabbitholes. You can replace them.
If you are missing EP's:
The game will usually replace items you are missing with basegame versions. Some whole lots may be messed up and you may want to delete them (for example, if you do not have the junkyard, that lots will be pretty much empty).
The game may load very slowly the first time you start it.
It seems that those without Supernatural and/or IP may be unable to load the game. I will be making a version of the world that does not include lots from those EP's. I will make a version that only uses Ambitions and World Adventures and the Base game.
Suggested Lots:
I marked 2 empty lots for these that you have to add yourself because they contain store items:
Tiki Bowl Arcade (goes near downtown across from the Opeu Lounge):
http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=7229231
Machine Age Theater and Casino (goes near the other Art Deco Buildings bottom right corner): http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=7315591
There is room near the Cow Club for this farmhouse:

These 3 beach houses go nicely:

Most of the residential lots are empty, there are about 15-20, mostly starter homes. The goal was to have a customizable world that at least started with all the community lots and could be built up over time.
The exchange just let me upload the lite version -- so if you don't have all the EP's, check that one out.
By the way aren't you from the old Sims 2 N99 group of wonderful simmers? If you are, gosh did I ever love your site back in Sims 2. I think I used to download everything there. I had the N99 Hood and the saga of the Rags to Riches.
Anyway I am very familiar with the great work that has always been put out by your site and community members so I really look forward to getting the time to check this out - as it really does remind me of both Rhode Island and even some of the Cape areas.
But at the moment I am pretty busy testing three different worlds - but do plan to check it out the first chance I get.
ETA
Hey I am confused - I just checked I downloaded the top version you have links to and it was from the exchange - it says Friendship Cove Fixed on the title. Is that not the full version?

N99 is still there, we have a Sims 1 site, a Sims 2 site and a Sims 3 site! I was a member back in the day, but I didn't have any downloads then. If you are interested we are at: http://starlightsims.yuku.com/forums/126/The-Sims-3 but you have to register to see the threads, sorry.
So thanks for the info.

I love the pic of the rundown shack!
Here is the Mother Earth Farmstand. It fits in the top corner lot near the farms on the main island, you can't miss it since it is a 15 x 25 lot. Its uses a lot of store stuff, the idea was to make a FC version of the Store's Market lot for Monte Vista.
Here is the link: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=7650323
(I did fix the floating flower box before uploading!)
I have only just moved in, but love it so far, thank you all
Thanks for telling me you are having trouble with the Dive lots. I'm sorry for that. They are working in my game and in a lot of other people's games. I have put the IP Dive lots in a lot of my worlds and they work okay. But clearly they are not working for you. Did you download the Fixed version or the WA/AMB version?
If I can't figure out how to fix them for everyone, I will work on making new ones in CAW.
Here is the Derby Inn Restaurant on a 30 x 30 lot. It uses the Bistro set from the Store: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=7652754

Here is another lot for Friendship Cove: Bootlegger's Boardwalk.
Bootlegger's Boardwalk:
Made for Friendship Cove, the Bootlegger's Boardwalk is a 45x64 Beach lot with tons to do. There is a spa with sauna and massage table, an arcade, a Nerd Shop, a (decorative for now) clothing store, and plenty of bathroom facilities. The Beach side of the boardwalk has all kinds of games. Uses Store Stuff. I have all EPs and SPs. If you don't have Seasons the Boardwalk will be much emptier and quieter. Try downloading the Unfurnished Version and turn it into either apartments, or whatever kind of community lots you have the EP's for.

The surfboard is causing trouble for some people in downloading the sims3packs. So here are the files as .package files: https://app.box.com/s/hfxk3xeiccxzqb305exv Just put them in your Library folder and they will show up in your lot bin.

But do you have a version without WA? and IP and SP? You don't have to make one( Too much work) but just asking? But It's beautiful!
