Hola! Welcome to Prometedor!
Made on an edited version of the Belladonna template, this is an island vacation subhood for The Sims 2 Bon Voyage. It contains 10 of each local and tourist custom made sims and has a Baja Coast/Spanish/Mexican feel, with buildings here being inspired by images from those areas.
It has been designed to complement the Beacon Falls hood, but it can be added to any neighbourhood, alongside the existing holiday destinations.

Prometedor now contains a secret vacation lot. See the Read Me file for further details.

Installation instructions
These are the same as those already posted on the page for Isle St Croix, but in a nutshell:
Back up your game.
Place the T609 folder into your Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Bon Voyage\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate, NOT into your My Documents\EA Games folder.

If you are only installing this BV sub district, it should show up in your game once it has been placed in the correct Program Files folder. If you can't see it in the selection menu then please download Mootilda's hack . This allows further Bon Voyage sub districts to show up in your menu, rather than swapping out files in order for them to show properly.

New Up2MandG_Recinto Ferial

Requires Mansions and Gardens, but was made with all other EP's and SP's installed. If you are missing any of those, then please check the lots before sending Sims to visit, so that you can redecorate or replace any non showing items. The folder you download has two versions of the same lot: one containing all the necessary CC, and one without it, but with it all in a folder for you to install separately.
You are strongly advised to read the explanation included with the download.

Download-Isle St Croix

Update: Oct 2010 - Completely remade, according to Mootilda's subhood tutorial.
Update: Oct/Nov 2011 - checked and found safe with Mootilda's HoodChecker program.

Isle St Croix is a custom made mountain vacation resort for the Sims 2 Bon Voyage. It was designed to complement the Beacon Falls hood, but can be added to any neighbourhood you choose, alongside the existing holiday destinations.
There is now a version of this subhood available at Mod The Sims, the one here is lager than the one there, but otherwise they are both exactly the same.


For your own benefit, and *BEFORE INSTALLING* this neighborhood, please Back-Up your My documents\EA Games folder. If anything were to go wrong, delete your current My Documents\EA Games folder and replace it with the back up.
NEVER overwrite a neighborhood folder, that would CORRUPT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND MAKE IT UNUSABLE. Isle St. Croix should be safe, this is 'just in case' advice if anything should go wrong.

 


Nothing else needs deleting/moving or backing up in your Program Files folder, Isle St. Croix will not replace any of your Bon Voyage destinations as it has a different ID and folder number. It will be available as a choice in the list of vacation destinations when you click to choose a holiday neighborhood. This won't affect any other holiday destinations, it is 'as well as' and not instead of any Bon Voyage neighborhood that you currently play.

This default neighborhood has been made with AnyGameStarter using Uni/NL/OfB/Seasons and BV. You NEED to have BV, if you don't have some of the other EP's, the specific items I've used from them wouldn't show up. If you still want Isle St. Croix but have missing EP's, it would be a good idea to check the lots before sending sims on holiday there in order to replace those non-showing things with other wall coverings, floorings and items.

To install
Place the M409 folder into your Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Bon Voyage\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplateVoyage\TSData\ResNeighborhoodTemplate, and *NOT* into your My Documents\EA Games folder.
If you have any problems, please contact lechapeau using the email address at the end of these instructions.

To uninstall Isle St. Croix
Simply delete the M409 folder from your Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Bon Voyage\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate. If Isle St. Croix is already attached to any of your neighborhoods, please note that deleting it from the Program files will not take it away from those neighborhoods. It will just delete this neighborhood from the list of Bon Voyage destinations available in your menu.
To delete it from an actual neighborhood you, will need to use the trashcan icon from within the game.
Isle St. Croix and Prometedor both now contain secret vacation lots, issues we knew of causing problems in certain lots are now fixed. Please see the Read Me file, for further details.

NOTE: If you are only installing this BV sub district, it should show up in your game once it has been placed in the correct Program Files folder. If you can't see it in the selection menu then please download Mootilda's hack. This allows further Bon Voyage sub districts to show up in your menu, rather than swapping out files in order for them to show properly.

Isle St. Croix - Add-on and Extra Lots

Heartland House
This is an extra lot for Isle St Croix. It was built for a section across the bridge in Isle St Croix that would only be accessible to people using a camera hack.
Ideally, you need the Pets EP for this one, mainly because of the black fence/trim around the staging, however it
will still work without it.The attached map shows the ideal place on the Island to place the lot to avoid the ground warping, however it is up to you where you put it.

New Isle St.Croix Community Lots

Up2MandG_St. Croix Inn
This is a beach lot, including a restaurant, bar and games tables. This has been built and furnished in a full EP/SP game, and it requires the Mansion and Gardens SP. If you are missing any of the other packs I might have used while putting it together, it should still install correctly and show up in your game, but I would advise you to check and see if any decor needs replacing, or if there are any furniture items missing.

Up2MandG_St. Croix Slopes

This is a lot containing CC, there is a READ ME with all of the information you need. Credit and thanks to Jasana Bugbreeder at MTS for the snowy slide hill, and to corvidophile2 for the small invisible ice rink. This and the larger rink are available at The Sims2 Graveyard, they were formally available at SironaSims, and corvidophile2 asks on their MTS profile for credit to go to that site. I am not sure if items from specific EP's or SP's were used, again, please check before sending sims there in order to replace missing decor or furnishings.
A terrain paint by Cyclonesue@TSR is included with the lot, I used this where I placed the invisible rink to represent the water/ice. If you have a more suitable terrain, or do not want to install this item then please uncheck it in Clean Installer to keep it out of your game. 

Edit: On the 29th of January 2021 to replace the previously deleted files:

Download both Reuploaded ISC_NEW_CommLots

Note: If you want St.Croix Slopes to be snowy, as shown in the images included with the lot, then I suggest using Pescado's ffs debugger, place it on the lot in build mode (perhaps hide it under a foundation, or in any available roof space). When your sim visits the lot, click on the ffs debugger and choose 'weather', then click 'snow'. Levels of snow vary, and light snow might melt quickly. The hills look good with or without snow, but when it snows heavily it looks really pretty, and adds variation!
To download the ffs debugger, go to MATY, then to The Armory, then in the list find Hack Directory-All Hacks, and choose the one that best fits your game set up.
