Sinking BV General Store
Sleepycat:
ditto what JM said *laughs* On my flat beach lot terrains, the ground can't get any lower without being under water.
I have been keeping the low terrain issues in mind when making new terrains lately and I think my newest terrain is my best yet --> http://www.the-isz.com/theisz/index.php?showforum=75
It still has flat beach lots but the upper areas should be ok for lots that have ponds or basements or sunken living rooms and stuff.
jolrei:
OK, hopefully my house will work then, 'cos the main floor is on a foundation - the "sunken" part is just "foundation removed" in the centre of the main room, so the sunken part is actually at real ground level, not below ground level.
Cancelling the "Titanic" band for now.
@ sleepycat - I noted the "higher ground" areas of your latest terrains. Saving for later.

That looks very nice, ZZ.
I tried the Yahoo group thing. I found several that hat every day sims in their name, and I truly don't want to join all of them. One of them was called everydaysims_sims2. That one came closest, but to join you have to write a few words about why you want to join, it needs owner approval, etc. I want to join because I'm looking for a church made by Micksmum? Doesn't sound right, and I don't want to think up things about wanting to join a group I know nothing about.
Rassafrassingconsarnit certainly does sound like something Yosemite Sam might say. I love those old cartoons. Although, sometimes I root for Yosemite, Elmer, and Broom Hilda. Just because.
Thank you Emma. It is indeed the pond. I'll be trying out Jolrei's suggestion and lift the sunken floors. As soon as I can get my computer to stop being an ass and recognize the disc-drive. I hate Vista.
I appreciate the warning about building placement. So I'm guessing that downloading beach-lots is just a waste of time and space. Plus, if you have a hood with beach-lots, don't bother binning the lots for later use on different terrains. Thanks EAxis - a little warning would've been nice.

Well, yes and no. Generally speaking, beach lots do not seem to transfer very well. On the other hand, if you build a beach lot on a completely flat beach terrain and package it, it can be transferred to a new hood with similarly flat beach terrain (one might have to try several placements in the new hood to make sure it works properly). I created a squalid beach hut that I shared that others have indicated works. What you can't do, apparently, is share lots that are not completely flat, or put shared lots on beach terrains that are not completely flat. Consequently, the easiest thing, to remain rassafrassincarnsarnit-free, is to simply build your own beach lots, and try to use flat beach terrains (a la sleepycat).

Veilchen, I sent Micksmum a PM to find out where the church is (Everyday Sims does have several Yahoo groups) and maybe if it's FSF, which I think it will be, I can get the church and e-mail it to you. Funny thing is, I was a member of most of Sandy's groups, and now I'm not, and can only think it's either because I changed ISPs or I'm on a different computer - but I don't mind joining again!
My church is now cleaned up and ready to go. The total .zip file size is just over 2MB, so it should e-mail I think. (Or if necessary I can split it into two, one for the Sims2Pack and one for the info. But I'll try uploading it and see what happens.)
Well, I tried, but I couldn't upload the .zip - talktalk Online Backup is useless! Back to square one.
