I don't think I've ever really taken the time to make over the standard Downtown that Nightlife ships with. (It's called Sim City in the Megahood, because I'm a dork like that.)
It was actually a lot of fun to play puzzle with the existing lots and try to create a lay-out that still looked good. I'm happy with how it came out. I think it already looked pretty good to begin with, I just tried to make it look even more cohesive and like a city centre.

I finally got the downloads for meetme2theriver 's Megahood working again (which is a thing of beauty, you can create your own Megahood with shopping district templates - it's so awesome!).
I've tried to keep all the lots (or all the defining ones anyway, I had to throw out a couple in Belladonna Cove because there just wasn't space for them in my lay-out, as well as being standard boring EAxian block buildings) and I might even try my hand at making some of them over.

Fiddling around with all those hoods (which are old friends to me by now) is a great change of pace from the BaCC rotation. I'm not currently planning on playing the Megahood just yet, I mainly want to do makeovers for the time being: hood, lots and eventually Sims :)
I used to dislike Belladonna Cove when I first got Apartment Life, and I couldn't really get into it. It's grown on me though, and I like the different districts and stuff. Anyways, enough rambling, on to the picspam!
