Mapleton- The Unpopulated Version
ediblebodyparts:
Here is my first real attempt at seriously using CAW. Zazazu's Asherton is what prompted me to give CAW a shot again, and Mapleton is the result. Asherton was a huge inspiration so thanks Zazazu.
This is the unpopulated version, and I will be working to create a built up and populated version. Most of the lots are small and do not match the standard lots sizes of the base worlds, so you will probably have to build your own houses. This does contain WA items and it may contain Store items as well (does have Riverview items). Here's a bit of history about the island:
Discovered in 1843 by Sir Francis Maples off the coast of what is now Washington State, Maples Island has a unique history. A wealthy Seattle man named Doctor West purchased the island for his own private getaway. When building his mansion, workers discovered iron deposits and a mining community quickly built up and was known as Weston. During the Pig War, a fort was built on the island to keep an eye on the British. After the stock market crash, Doctor West's family abandoned the island. The residents petitioned to have the name changed to Maples Island after the original discoverer and renamed the community Mapleton. The eastern island is still known as West Island and that is where the most expansive properties remain.

Usage: Feel free to mess around with the world or use the CAW files and change it however you like, but please credit me if you upload it. CAW files are in the .rar file named Mapleton_empty_CAW
Finally, please let me know of any issues that come up and I will fix them for my populated version. Also, constructive criticism is welcome. Thanks!

That Eighties Guy:
You might want to freshen up the rabbithole community lots. Plopping them down with a gray-ish ground doesn't do much for shiny.
I do give you a plus in creativity in trying to connect several rabbitholes together.

Thanks for the feedback, I will try to work on that more with the populated version, but I will admit I am not very good at that. The greyish ground is actually paving stones and looks nicer up close, and I did try to do something with each community lot, but I agree that there could be more landscaping done. Out of curiosity, are you going simply off of the screenshots or did you actually load it up in game? Thanks again!
Sigmund:
Haven't tried it in game yet, but I do tend to prefer worlds that have the lots closer together, so I like what I see so far. Will give more constructive feedback once I actually have time to load the game.

Just checking in to see if any one got a chance to play it over the weekend. I started work on the built-up version, but with my current schedule, it will take me a bit. Thanks to all who downloaded it so far!
ETA (3/14/10): Just found out that I was accepted to the University I recently applied to so the built-up will probably take a bit longer. I tried posting this on MTS, but mostly because of my non-standardized lot sizes, they rejected it. I made a new version with more consistent lot sizes, and only lost a couple residential lots. Would anyone be interested if I put that one up too?
