Brokeback/Fresh Mountain -- Plenty of new YA Genes to pollinate!
Crazetex:
Clearwater Town No sims or houses; community lots intact
Completely Empty Neighborhood By mixreality; nada, nil, zilch, cero
Fresh Mountain Four new starter homes, new genes, no non-CAS sims (although they will move in)
To add this 'hood: download the file into your Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Saves folder and load the "Fresh Mountain" save from the main menu. Duplicate it if you want to save it for later restarting!
Please note that almost all of the CAS'd sims are Young Adults in this 'hood; the idea is that your sims will be able to breed with... unique... people to balance out the infamous EA-generated townies. These townies should quite willingly fill up your town with children and elders. Also, every Craze-made sim, household and lot has its own bio, and some households have some interesting things going on. Gotta catch 'em all! Hint: after playing a bit and meeting the new folks, check out Miranda Klinton's bedroom (in the Babies and Friends household). ALSOALSO note that community lots are 100% untouched. I'm saving that for the retail release, when (legal) documentation starts appearing.

EDIT 4: I decided to screw over skilling; it just isn't going to happen until more cheats are added. For now, Fresh Mountain (now downloadable!) will just add some kooky new characters, some fresh young adult genes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm interested to see what we can do without a neighborhood creation tool. Please see what happens when you download Clearwater Town into your Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Saves folder. I suggest immediately saving the town after loading it up so as to create the backup file (I am not going to upload two hopefully-identical 12meg files on my personal 50meg intarwebz space!). Daring simmers could try playing the game without the backup; I assume that it is simply created when you save a game so that you can not-save the town when quitting/going to Edit Town mode.
Please also inform me how this goes into a slot on your main menu, or if it appears at all!
My goal is to also make Fresh Mountain pre-June 2nd; a small boolprop'd-to-high-heaven 'hood for people who dislike dealing with Bella and Mortimer already, and also want a town that isn't completely infested with fatgenes. Not that I'm against having fat sims in my game, it's just that I don't need to see half the town being morbidly obese!
Thanks for testing this out for me!
EDIT 3: If anybody could inform me as to how to cheat/hack skill points onto sims I'd be greatly obliged. Testingcheatsenabled true allows me to set career levels, modify traits and relationships and age up characters, but I can't kill off sims to make annoying ghosts or add skill points to make those stay-at-home painter types. This is severely limiting my ability to create an interesting neighborhood. :<
EDIT 2: While this will be 500% easier with the actual site working, I've uploaded a family from my game. Download the Sunfellow household into the Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Library folder, and check to see if 1) you overwrite anything, 2) you can put the family in a lot and 3) you can read the characters' bios.
EDIT 1: I just copied and renamed a save file and tried to load it... it worked without a hitch. Looks like this is going to be easy, folks!
Seolaeria:
Wow, that was quick!
Just downloaded it. Starting up the game now...
EDIT: Works perfectly! Fantastic job!
Crazetex:
I wouldn't say that it's a fantasic job given that I didn't do anything extra delete lots/famblies and trim my nails for ten minutes, but thanks. Next step: sharing non-default households/lots out of the Library.
Blaise:
Just tried it, worked like a charm. No residences, just empty lots. But all comm lots were there. Only thing: Sims in the sim bin, both EA's and one I made some days ago, were still there. Not sure if that is a meant to or not.
Thank goodness no more Eaxis fuglies! (Oh wait, all Sims 3 sims are fugly. Nevermind.)
Crazetex:
Blaise: You cannot delete default lots/households. :< :< :< Also, your clones (the one with a folder icon on the bottom-right) can't be modified by 'hoods. You can delete them, though, unless you want to... clone sims you already have made...?
Updated first post with an uploaded family.
