Goddess, not sure if you found the floating manhole yet, but I found it again and its not near the gated lots. but rather near the high school in the farming zone.
Yes I have and it has been properly reacquainted with gravity. I had to scratch my head over that one, as you had said "near where the corralled lots are." I had come to the conclusion that you fancy ranches and had been using the country side to put creepy cow cut-out corrals in.
*shudders* Those creepy cow cut-outs always remind me of the movie ‘Motel Hell'.

I have updated Fargo to include new career lots from Ambitions. There is now a Junkyard/Consignment Shop, Laundromat, Styling Salon, Hangout/Tattoo Parlor and a Firehouse. I have added a thin land bridge to provide access to the Island. I have fixed a few floating objects and roads that grew grass from certain angles. Because Ambitions gave us the ability to add and remove world objects, I added the Space Shuttle back to Fargo. My Astronaut sim is quite pleased, but if you prefer not to have it, you are welcome to delete it. I added 2 new neighborhoods to make up for the military housing that I removed. I've also added a couple of cute parks. There are now 109 residential lots and 40 community lots.
I'd like to offer special thanks and recognition to all the builders that created the lovely houses in my neighborhood, but I don't know who many of them are. MATY's own Tangie created one of them; see if you can find it. Plasticbox created many of the small houses I put in town. Hatshepsut created many of my suburban houses. In all cases, if there was something written in the details box, I left it there so there might be a signature of the artists on some of the houses. If you know the names of any of the other creators, feel free to list their names and give them credit here. I did not build any of the residential homes but I did alter many of them in tiny ways, either to touch up terrain paint or replace custom content with game objects.
If you are already playing the old Fargo, don't forget to package up your families; you will have to uninstall the old in order to install the new.
Here is where you can get your hands on it…

Love it, but there are a few issues.
Some of the rabbit holes don't seem to show up for me:
- The School
- The Spa
- The Military Base
EDIT: The school and the spa show up in the little lot icon, but don't show up on the actual lot.
Before you ask, I have all EP's/SP's and Riverview. I replaced them myself in 'Edit Town', so it's not too big a problem.
Now, what I like:
- Varied. Has a nice urban area, mountain area, and farm area, and they all fit in real nice.
- Detailed. It's clear a lot of effort has been put in into creating this.
- The hidden dragon cave. Blends into the mountain real nice and naturally.
- Big. Lots of places to build on, but has a decent amount of pre-made lots as well.
What I don't like:
- Cherry trees. A few spread out look nice, but I feel like there's too many in a small area in the downtown area.
- Mountains on the small island. The peaks on them are too jagged and they seem unnatural.
Overall, I really like this world. The cons are just minor things that slightly annoy me. Typically, with custom worlds, they feel awkward to me. This one is the exception. I really enjoy it, and look forward to playing with it.

Most of the cherry trees are on lots that can easily be deleted without hurting my feelings in the least. I used them on all the lots for a bit of continuity. Choose what you love and feel free to replace them.

I had heard good things about this world but had not yet tried it. I decided to download your updated version. You may want to add in your first post that Fargo downloads with 44 custom content items from TSR. There were windows, doors, a baby pram, patterns, garden bags, mirror...well you get the drift I'm sure. This custom content cannot be deleted without also deleting the world. One can try to delete the cc from the launcher but end up with an error saying it can't be done because of dependents. I opted to delete everything since there was so much I had absolutely no interest in having in game. It would have been nice to know in advance that the world contained cc and what it was.
