Come home to AmberWave, a quiet and cozy little rural community. It's the small town you wish you'd grown up in.

*This post includes thirteen separate lots (plus four custom animal types), rather than an entire already-created neighborhood, which I wouldn't even begin to know how to create or upload. For the screen shot, I used the Maxis "Crystal Springs" layout. Mix & match the lots however you'd like in a neighborhood layout of your own choosing!*
*My goal with this submission was to make playable lots that Simmers could (and would!) actually use in their games. Toward that end, all lots have been tested in-game to be functioning and playable, and each residential lot is fully furnished and includes all skill items. Also, the houses represent different price ranges, including three fully furnished starters, one of which uses only Maxis-made content/ no custom content.*

******

Due to restrictions on the number of pictures that can be included in uploads to ModTheSims2, I was unable to really show a lot of the details of each lot. Please visit the following link for larger/ more pictures:

******

Lots available:

Morris Cottage

Long-time Maxis fans may recognize the floor plan of this one-bedroom house as a remake of the original Morris Cottage from the original Sims Unleashed, which was located at 64 Gunther Goth Highway. "This quaint home offers a garden ready for planting." The wall and floor coverings are different than the original, because these design items are not re-created in Sims2 Maxis-made content, and I myself don't have the tools or the talent to mod such things. Also, the lot is just a bit smaller, with fewer trees, in order to keep the budget as a starter home. To promote consistancy in neighborhood style, I also added a foundation, and a driveway. Please forgive the creative liberties I've taken.
*Starter home, no CC*
Lot Size: 3x2
Price: $19,964

Horseshoe Stable

The horse-lover's dream spread! Perfect one-bedroom cabin with sleeping porch, full stable with tack room and stall, fenced-in exercise yard, and fruit trees; all on private property.
*Features Hexameter's amazing rideable saddlehorse Thunder, which the game treats as an automobile (Nightlife required).*
Lot Size: 4x3
Price: $73,789

Appleview Farm

A working farm, complete with Dr Pixel's produce truck, and a roadside stand to run as a home business. Like the Morris Cottage, long-time Maxis fans may recognize the floor plan of this one-bedroom house as a remake of the original Appleview Farm from Sims Unleashed, which was located at 66 Gunther Goth Highway. I've borrowed the incredible talent of Rebecah to decorate the interior, which is different than the original walls and floors. Also not authentic to the original is the root cellar I added, to store the fruits of the family's labors. I hope you enjoy the updates to this standard favorite!
*This lot includes parts of Echo's Farmers' Set, including the harvestable grapes. You need to place the harvest basket (included in the zip file with the lot) in your Downloads folder for grapes to work. Also, beware of the electric fence!*
Lot Size: 4x3
Price: $109,041

Greene House

"People who live in glass houses..." Residents of the Greene House should definitely not throw stones! A little different from the other lots in AmberWave, but still a nice fit. This wonderful abode, designed to provide plenty of sunshine and water specifically for Plant Sims, is filled with plant life of all kinds, on grounds covered with gardens and orchards. The house itself features Moonlight_muse's beautiful trellis floor, and includes a walkway over the lot's private pond. A unique tree house in the back yard holds the easel and telescope, to allow your Plant Sim to be one with nature, even while expressing creativity or stargazing. Also, look for the natural hot spring in a private corner of the lot.
Lot Size: 3x4
Price: $113,040


Wilde & Wooley Sheep Ranch

A classic sheep ranch with a one-bedroom ranch house. Be sure to download the sheep to go with the ranch! (Sheep have been created from dogs, so they may act a little strange for sheep during game play. Remember to lock the house doors to Disallow Pets, or your Sims might discover their sheep chewing up the furniture!) Rebecah's Romanian Hay Stack takes up only one square, so it can be placed over dog bowls, to allow the illusion that sheep are actually eating from the hay stack! (Hay stack must be moved for Sims to fill dog bowls.)
Lot Size: 4x4
Price: $75,031

Teacup Miniature Horse Farm

Miniature horses are actual, real horses roughly the size of large dogs. I created this lot as a tribute to my best childhood friend who raises these wonderful little creatures. Be sure to download the miniature horses to go with the lot. (Like the sheep, minis have been created from dogs, so they may wag their tails and fetch sticks. Remember to lock the house doors to Disallow Pets.) MoveObjects can be used to place Rebecah's bale of hay over dog dishes to create the impression that minis are eating from the bale. (Hay bale must be moved for Sims to fill the dog dishes.) As with the Morris Cottage and the Appleview Farm, long-time Maxis fans may recognize the floor plan of this one-bedroom house as a remake of the house located at 10 Sim Lane in the original Sims. The interior is, once again, not entirely authentic. Also, the original did not have a miniature horse farm attached (of course), but this was my favorite house from the original Sims, so I just couldn't resist using it!
*Visit the official site of the American Miniature Horse Association: http://www.amha.org/ *
Lot Size: 4x4
Price: $90,760

Mudd-Bogg Pig Farm

These little piggies are ready for market! Here's the mandatory backwoods/ hick/ hillbilly/ redneck shack that every rural town needs, located somewhere way back in 'the sticks'. "If your front porch collapses and kills more than three dogs... You might be a redneck!" --Jeff Foxworthy, Redneck Extraordinaire. This happy little pig farm features a one-bedroom house, a pig-pen, and collandmichelle's great beat-up old Smord. Don't forget to download the pigs to go with the farm. (Pigs have also been created from dogs, but they're darn cute! However, unless you wish to give the pigs free run of the house, remember to lock the house doors.) Use moveObjects once again to place dog dishes under the wooden feeding trough, which --in true hillbilly form-- is really a recycled wooden bathtub.
*Starter home*
Lot Size: 3x2
Price: $19,980

Gruff's Goat Dairy

Cozy little goat dairy, complete with milking barn and watering pond. Goats were also created from dogs, and can be downloaded separately to go with the dairy. (Again, MoveObjects to place dog bowls under hay bales, and remember to lock the house doors.)
*Starter home*
Lot Size: 2x2
Price: $19,995

AmberWave General Store

Whatever you need to go 'into town' for, it's here. The original one-stop shop!
Lot Size: 2x2

Red Barn Country Dining & Carriage House Dance Hall

Down-home country restaurant, built in a renovated barn, with attached dance hall built in the renovated carriage house. After lunch, climb into the old hay loft and relax on one of Maylin's great haystacks.
Lot Size: 2x3

Countryside Church

Non-denominational Sunday gathering place, complete with the standard cemetery. More than a house of worship, this is the place for THE social event of every week in every small town. (Includes Law career reward podium.)
*To use the church for weddings, download IndigoRage's *inspired* (pun intended!) wedding altar: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=109676 *
Lot Size: 2x3

Crystal Lake

City kids swim in crowded public pools. Country kids escape the heat of summer with a dip in the lake. Swimmable AND fishable... This lake has it all!
Lot Size: 5x5

Town Square

Every small town has one! Visit Town Hall to make your voice heard (includes Politics career reward teleprompter), honor our brave men and women in uniform at the Veteran's Memorial, have a picnic on the green, then stay to enjoy a concert by the town musicians at dusk. Want a lovely outdoor wedding? The Town Square gazebo is the perfect place!
*I've used the U.S. flag for this lot, simply because that's where I live. Please visit Frillen's great page for a huge assortment of other flags: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=195287 *
Lot Size: 5x5

Pick out your plot and put down roots. Amberwave is the place to raise your family, then sit back and enjoy your golden years from a rocking chair on your own front porch.

You may 'renovate' these lots, and modify the animals, to your heart's content for personal use in your own game. You may also include the Morris Cottage and/ or any of my animals, unmodified, in uploads to ModTheSims2. Please provide appropriate credit for my work when doing so, and include a link to this post so downloaders can see what they're getting. Also, please let me know so I can see what you've done with them!

Please do not redistribute any of the other lots, as they contain custom content not made by me. If you simply MUST include any of these lots in an upload, please either remove the custom content before uploading, or secure permission from the creator(s) of the custom content. (I've included link information with this post, so you can locate each of the creators and their original pages.)

Please do not post any of my creations to pay sites, or the Exchange, or claim my work as your own.

Thanks!
