Viper Vally Deprivation challenge world

It is based on the Sims2 Viper Canyon N'hood and so far it's going well. I've made about 6 challenge lots (64x64 residential that will be adjusted to cost right around 13,500 simoleons in game). Fishing is going to be scarce, as are other collectibles like bugs, gems, butterflies and seeds.
Question - in setting a lot for townies only, does that mean ONLY townies can live there? Unless I change the lot type in game, regular played 'toons can't live there, right?
Also - Academy = school, right? Or does it mean Martial Arts Academy and I have to reclassify my school lot as a small park?
I plan to set up the community lots with custom rabbit holes (Jazz's carpets) and as my family clears each bit of the challenge, they can rebuild the lot in game with the official EA rabbit holes.
Thoughts? Advice?

I placed all the spawners last night and just have to finish "dressing the world" to be ready to move on to the next phase - setting all the walking paths. Then it's terrain painting, building my community lots and fixing the addresses appropriately within CAW for it to be finished!

The Townie lots are for WA vacation lots. You don't have to do that in your Base World.
Sounds like you're having fun and it's coming along fast~ Great.
atz - how do I take screen shots and where do I find them when I have? Do I need to do it with Edit in Game option and then just upload them like any other uploaded content?

Just an update - I have all my community lots done, all the paths (there's not many, really, all my trees and other miscellaneous debris placed and all my addresses done. I just need to lay down some terrain paints and Voila! I can't wait to play it :P I hope it plays ....

Go to paint or any drawing program, right click and paste (or go to the edit tab and press the paste button in there)
A good file for this sort would be a jpeg, so save as a jpeg :-)
Then go to any image uploading site such as photobucket and upload your file.
Sometimes, like at photobucket, you'll immediately get the forum code.
If not, try to get to a page with just the image and copy the site name.
Click the 'Img' button, paste the site name and click the 'Img*' button.
If done, click on preview below to see if it worked
Congratulations, you have just posted a screenshot.
Ok, without further ado ... some screenshots (from inside the game because I loaded it up to test it last night.
It's barren, it's bleak, many are living in underground bunkers ...

(edit note - deleted the duplicate picture of the rocks)
It looks fine :-)
I don't know whether the hills/mountains supposed to look like huge sand hills, but maybe you should paint the mountains to look more like mountains :?
I loaded things up last night to play test it and make sure all the routing worked ok and that all the community lots worked as intended. I've also decided to change that double row of brownstones into fall out bunkers and to lower the cost on my 64x64 lots (I want a real basic furnished purchase price to be $16500 or slightly less.)
The whole neighborhood is for me to play the Apocalypse Challenge such that every one else in the N'hood is suffering along with my sims. Once I get it tweaked up I'll try to upload it to the exchange along with the special residential lots.

Right now, I'm redoing my spawners, making sure I've got just one of everything except for small and medium meteors, of which I've a few of each.
My last few steps are going to be putting in the traffic dressing (lights, signs, road grates and sewer covers), redoing the dead trees and adding some more rocks and things to flesh it out.
I've been working on this for around 9 hours hours today so I'm ready for a break (yeah, I have no life. I'm a stay at home mom desperately avoiding housework :P ).
I'll post some updated pics this evening
