Turtle Island
(Base Neighborhood)
Download the SC4 Terrain Files
All the world was
flooded. All the different animals swimming in the flood
dove down and were unsuccessful until one finally
brought up some earth which was spread across the great
turtle's back so that all could live on land. On the
center of Turtle Island grows the tree of light, which
stretches high up into the sky and provides shelter to
all who dwell within and under its branches.

This NightLife
Suburb has been updated with some of the Seasons
neighborhood decoration elements. The design is
representative of the different directions to which the
tribes have been scattered all over the world.

To use the
SC4 Terrain Files, you only need
 .
You must then
decorate
the
new neighborhood (and/or suburbs) yourself.
If you have only
the base game,
the suburbs won't work.
However, you can make separate neighborhoods
from any of the SC4 maps.
Download the
separate SC4 Terrain Files
from the links posted above. |
To use the
decorated Neighborhood file (see below),
you will need all of the following:
You do NOT need the SPs to use this Neighborhood,
but it's essential that you have
all the EPs
shown here. |
To use the decorated
Neighborhood set,
please download ALL the files posted at the right.
Please follow the instructions
below carefully,
to make sure your new neighborhood works correctly.
If you print this page,
it would be easier to follow the instructions.
Please note that the N118 Folder
has been replaced as of 03/11/07,
with the Four Directions NightLife Suburb.
If you already have been using the entire
N118 Folder in your game,
AND if you have already installed Seasons,
then please download the #8 file to the right.
After unzipping the file, move all three
files that are inside, to your existing
N118 Folder. This will update your game
to the full neighborhood that is contained
in the #1-#7 Folders, without disrupting
your existing neighborhood. |

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING
THE SC4 TERRAIN FILES
All the download files are
zipped. The first thing to do is unzip them to your desktop or
another directory where you can easily find them.
This will result in a separate
folder for each SC4 Terrain File. Each labeled folder will contain
the actual SC4 file, and five .png files. Go into each folder, copy
or cut ALL SIX files, then paste them into the following directory:
...My Documents/EA
Games/The Sims 2/SC4Terrains
These are the maps and their
corresponding photos, that must be in place in order to create new
neighborhoods from them, and for the Decorated N118 Neighborhood you
can download here to work correctly. Do NOT paste in the whole
folders containing the six files. All SC4 and .png files MUST be
pasted directly into the SC4Terrains folder. Once you have either
copied or moved the files into the correct place in your game files,
you may trash the folders you downloaded and unzipped.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING
THE DECORATED NEIGHBORHOOD FILES
All the download files are
zipped. The first thing to do is unzip them to your desktop or
another directory where you can easily find them. The reason the
Characters folder is broken into pieces is that it MUST be included
in order for the Service Calls (for a maid, nanny, etc.) to work
correctly after Pets is installed. I no longer can just take
out all the characters and expect the game to work right on its own.
You MUST download and install these character package files as
follows.
-
Open the unzipped N118
folder. You'll find an EMPTY Characters folder inside. Open it,
and leave that window open.
-
Open the Characters-01
folder to see all the package files inside. Copy or Cut all the
package files, then go to the already-open N118/Characters
folder, and paste in the package files. Repeat this procedure
for Characters-02, -03, -04, -05, and -06. You will be copying
over 300 characters to your N118/Characters folder.
-
Once that is accomplished,
close the N118/Characters folder, and then the N118 folder.
Delete all six Characters-0x folders, leaving yourself ONLY the
completed N118 folder.
-
Move the WHOLE N118 folder
to the following directory:
...My Documents/EA
Games/The Sims 2/Neighborhoods
Now start up your game. You will
see Turtle Island (with the turtle picture) as the last neighborhood
in your Neighborhood Chooser. When you go into it, you will be able
to choose the other suburbs at will. It should be noted that there
are NO LOTS installed anywhere in this neighborhood or any of the
suburbs. Porkypine and the other creators will be making lots that
you will be able to download (those locations to be posted later)
for this project, OR you may simply make your own and go from there.
Have fun!
