Channelwood ALT Lot view
Channelwood is a decorated main neighbourhood with residential and community lots. There are no sims and no subhoods.
It is made using all EPs and SPs on a fully patched game. You will need a patched game with all EPs and SPs, or else the Ultimate Collection, to play this neighbourhood.
Versions:There are two versions of this neighbourhood to choose from.
The first version of this neighbourhood (entitled 'Channelwood') requires no custom content. Please download the file 'CHN1.zip' for this version.
The second version (entitled 'Channelwood ALT'), uses two pieces of custom content- Sunrader's Pleasanter View Neighborhood Bridge and Numenor's Maxis "Lost & Found" #20: NH *Animated* Carousel. You must Download these files separately and place them in your Downloads folder before loading the 'Channelwood ALT' hood, or else the bridge and carousel will be missing from the neighbourhood.
Please download the file 'CHN2.zip' for this version.
Download Numenor's Carousel
Download Sunrader's Pleasanter View Bridge
(The file you need is 'Sunrader’s Pleasanter View Bridge'- direct download: https://www.simfileshare.net/download/4545667/ )
As you can see, in the original version the bridge and carousel are not visible when playing the lots.
In the ALT version, the bridge and carousel are visible.
There is no other difference between these neighbourhoods- all lots, hood deco and functionality are the same.
You may download and use both versions of Channelwood if you like, as they have different IDs and will show up as seperate neighbourhoods. However, as they are identical expect for the bridge and carousel, I would recommend that you pick one version only.
Optional Custom Content for Channelwood
The community lot Pantheon of Holistic Cheeses uses a custom wedding cake made by me for this neighbourhood.
It is NOT required to play either version of the neighbourhood; one of the Maxis wedding cakes will show up if you do not install this content.
Download Cheese Cake
SC4 Terrain
Channelwood was made using the 'Channelwood' terrain file from my New Medina region. If you wish to make your own version of this neighbourhood, you can get the SC4 terrain file here:

Caringal
6 Apartment Units; §2427 to §2435
15 Garden Road
2 bedroom, 2 bathroom; §61170
1 Garden Road
3 bedroom, 2 bathroom; §72214
10 Sim Lane
3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom; §54544
8 Sim Lane (Sim Sample's house)
2 bedroom, 2 bathroom; §136701
This house has existed in many neighbourhoods, from Sims 1 to Sims 4. I always build a version of it for Sim Sample in every game!
Known issues:To edit the highest levels of the lots 'Pantheon of Holistic Cheeses' and 'Secret Bunker', you may need to use the cheat 'SetHighestAllowedLevel 9'
Dalhousie Cottage B&B is zoned as a Hotel; your sims will be able to visit, check in and sleep there, but not save the game until they leave the lot. Ordinary townies may show up there, but if you either add a vacation subhood, or else spawn some tourist sims, then these have a chance to turn up and check-in to a room.
Suggested mods: (you don't need these to play, but I do recommend them):
Bamboo texture fix by me
Extracted Basegame Rock texture by me, if you would like your rocks to look like the ones in my images
Dorm cooks on any lot by Lord Darcy (this mod will make the FUDI supermarket lot canteen functional)
Souvenirs buyable everywhere by Lord Darcy (so that your sims can buy souvenirs that are for sale on some lots)
Playgrounds adults by Squinge (so that all sims can play at the parks)
Colour Enabler Package by Numenor (without this, some Maxis items may be the wrong colour)
I used my own modded camera parameters to build this neighbourhood. It is recommended, but not necessary, to use a camera mod to play. There are several available on this site. I also recommend this modification for when playing the taller lots. Thank you Scary Rob for the link!
Mods used in the creation of Channelwood:
(these are not required to play the neighbourhood)
Thank you to these creators!
