Is anyone really good at making beach-friendly neighborhood terrains?
SaraMK:
I've spent several hours in SC4 trying to get this stupid thing to work, and I give up. >:(
I got the perfect little island from here http://nene.modthesims2.com/download.php?t=218435 (Golden Bay Island), and I've been trying to make it so that more of it can be used for beach lots. Currently only one side accepts beach lots (two small ones or one large one fit there), but the other sides do not.
I've tried it a million ways and nothing works. What the hell do you have to do to get it right?
BattyCoda:
There's some good ones here somewhere by Sleepycat.

I have one up here you might like.
As to converting them, I reckon it depends where your coastline finishes in terms of the SimCity squares. I had lots of trouble converting the one I just linked to, because one of the sides was sitting at the right place and one side wasn't. From memory, I needed about 1.5 SimCity squares between the road and the edge of the water. The water and land have to have a very gradual slope, I don't know how many times I applied the shallow edging tool.
I also used the cheat to enable God mode again after I entered city building mode, 'cos it was a a complete PITA going back and forth between landscaping and road building.
I would recommend you have a look at the spacing on the side of the island that is working for you, then try to match that where it is not working.
I have an island/peninsula here too.
SaraMK:
I already have all of those, and they're awesome. I wanted Golden Bay Island specifically because it's so tiny. It's awesome in the game because you can see the whole thing from any lot. It's the only one I've found where you can actually see that you are on an island, no matter where you are.
Zazazu:
Yeah, 1.5 seems the key. I tend to cut it too close. I just did this one, which I named HooknCrook (Haloway Lake in-game).
Beach lots are ridiculously flat, but obviously it needs a camera hack. There's a liveable area on the top of the plateau, big enough for a few mansions.
