beach lots
Babahara:
I have BV. But I'm tired of going to vacations, their load times are slowing my comp down to a crawl.
So I wonder if it's possible to install a beach lot in Pleasantview, so that my sims could go there like to any normal community lot, without bothering to go on vacation and having to live in another place. I'd like to install or create a beach lot with all vacation functions enabled, like swimming in sea, combing sand for shells, building sand castles, etc.
Placing empty beach lots doesn't work in Plesantview, though, I figure they can only be placed in a vacation subhood :(
Is it possible to overcome this limitation?
Kyna:
The roads in PV are too far from the beach for beach lots. You could try some neighbourhood terrain surgery, and replace the PV terrain with a terrain that allows beach lots.
Babahara:
Hm okay... Now I'll ask the stupid question. If I place a beach lot, how do I make sure that all functions like sand combing are enabled? Or does it happen automatically?

Another tactic, assuming you have Nightlife or OFB, would to be to attach a downtown/shopping district to Pleasantview that has terrain compatible with beach lots. Bluewater Village does, for instance. However, I advise you to NOT try lot-binning Bon Voyage lots and placing them in other subneighborhoods unless you like hearing your computer make a pretty musical "Glonk" and then crashing to your desktop. New from-scratch beach lots should work fine and I'm pretty sure beach lots in non-vacation neighborhoods support all beach activities. You can build regular full-time residential houses on beach lots that way too.

You can try building a neighbourhood with a beach terrain. Search MATY on "flat beach terrain" or something. Sleepycat did a number of nice ones. If you place your beach lot, all beach functions should be available normally. Remember, beach lots are just above the water table, so if your house has a basement, it will be full of water.
Also, if you place a normal lot on a beach, it will not automatically turn into a beach lot. For beach use to be part of the lot, it has to be built as a beach lot.
