Nice, but it REALLY needs at least the school and the store.
Edit: Found the store, Duh! But it still needs the school.
Look HARDER, or put your spectacles on.
PS: Do you know that you're a HAMTARD?
That Eighties Guy:
Sweet, I'm trying it out right now. It feels as if something is missing when I'm hovering at the neighbourhood view, but meh.
The goggles, they do nothing!

The school is near the beach, and in one of the screenshots. The only things missing are the theater and the spa, because I think they're pointless and I couldn't find a good way to make them work in a rural hood, but they are easy enough to add back in. The bookstore and grocery are hidden inside the whalemart on "Blight Hill" above town, by the fish farm. The science center is in the usual location, but buried underground (it's the same lot I uploaded before).
There are 3 beautiful vista lots, one with a house on it--the others are empty lots. I'm not sure if there were originally more of them, because I may have accidentally killed the beautiful vista buff on a couple that seem like they should have it before I knew the buff existed. However, since someone has already been able to clone the fish and bug spawners, I'm hoping we'll be able to add the beautiful vista back soon.
When asked, Pescado said that once you put fish in a community pond they will automatically respawn, and I did stock all the community ponds with fish. Don't place a new building on the two empty beautiful vista lots (on the cliffs above the ocean) or they will lose the buff--you have to build something from the ground up. As for seeds and bugs and rocks, I think there should be enough spawn points in the off-lot locations that couldn't be modified for your collector sims. I did not use the buyable fish, seed, and bug spawners from MTS2 because I had a few misgivings about including them, but you can download them and place them yourself if you want.

I would argue that both of these could be made to work in a rural community.
Many small towns & hamlets in the rural area I grew up in had a civic hall, a building near the council chambers that was basically a hall that could be hired. The hall was a focal point of the local community, and was often used for movies, for dances, for wedding receptions, for meetings of various local clubs/societies (and for functions these groups may stage), and for gigs by local bands.
As for the spa - what about a beauty parlour or hairdressing salon? What small town doesn't have hairdressers who also double as beauticians?

That does sound like it could work. My main concern is that I can't actually rename the community object to have it called something else. I thought about hiding them underground or in a larger building, but I couldn't think of a better look for them that would actually be an improvement. Both buildings would probably be fine as they are, but I don't plan on making any more changes to the neighborhood at this point, building-wise (otherwise I won't be able to stop for another 2 months). They'd probably look nice next to the library if you bulldoze the trees, or next to the town hall.
@old_dude: the school building is the one from Riverview. Do you have Riverview installed?
