Hatchet Falls: Sunset Valley, Redefined (UPDATED W/ SIMS)
Ellatrue:
Welcome to Hatchet Falls, a new neighborhood for your sims based on the default hood, but with a rural, mountain theme instead. While it still isn't possible to completely change the neighborhood terrain or the neighborhood objects, I think you'll find a lot can be done by altering what can be edited to give the neighborhood a completely different feel. The neighborhood now has a forested look, the community lots are more interesting, and all the parks and public spaces are much less formal. No more "lifestyles of the rich and famous!"

I believe I remembered to ask for permission from all of them--to everyone who contributed (and to those who helped with playtesting), thank you!
This version is empty of all inhabitants, and I deleted almost all the beds in the neighborhood after asking Pes, so I don't expect more than maybe 4 or 5 townies to spawn. If you want to prevent that, delete the beds from the residential lots that have them. To the best of my knowledge, I believe the save is clean and shouldn't contain errors. If you want the game to generate townies, add more beds. I plan on uploading a second version with some default families + playable ghost in the haunted house soonish.
This neighborhood save REQUIRES Riverview and Awesomemod in order to work. Also, brains. Please see the store stuff thread if you don't have them yet. I currently have all store stuff installed (most importantly the hewnsman set).
You should also download these STAIRS AND FENCES for everything to show up properly, especially the lighthouse:

ETA: Added link to the custom patterns I used. Oops. The neighborhood should work fine without the custom patterns and stairs, but some of the buildings might look ugly.
ETA: Inhabited version now available. See below. The requirements are the same, except for the custom hair.

Inhabited version now available!

Requires:
*Riverview & Awesomemod
Recommended:
*This hair for one of the non-playable ghosts: Short Mop Hair by HystericalParoxysm @ MTS

*Everything from the TS3 Store. I got mine from a torrent of everything in the store thread. While I tried to keep the things I used from the store to a minimum, the store stuff is not marked in the game as being custom, so I have no way to distinguish between what came with the base game and what didn't. Nothing will break if you don't have this stuff, but some of the furniture might be missing and some of the sims might look odd with different hairstyles.

Roxxy:
What an excellent idea, I like the way you have created the town to have a unique feel (within the constraints of what is currently available). I appreciate this and look forward to downloading your updated version with the playable ghost, whenever that is ready.
dilitru:
First: THANKS, THIS IS GREAT!
Next: Do you plan to make more of these interesting neighborhoods? I've been reading your custom neighborhood tutorials/ stuff and there's a lot of potential things you can do/mess with, such as Montague vs. Captulets feuds (of course, this is more focused on the Sims themselves rather than the buildings, though the families can own the buildings...) so I'm wondering if you can make more... I'll definitely have fun playing them!
BTW: I love your Motel and Church.
EDIT: Just making sure the Grammar Police won't arrest me.
Motoki:
Out of curiosity, are there any beautiful vista lots?
