Het Middeneiland
Lieve Dames en Heen,
It seems that I have so little time on my hands that trying to find some to bring you an elaborate, Photoshopped (GIMPed actually) posting would delay it further to infinity. As it remains a "technical" CJ, for me to gather some experience and your feedback and advice on, well, going Dutch 
, I'll keep it short and simple posting pics of the various parts of my all-new project.
So, here we go with Het Middeneiland, or The Middle Isle, sourrounded by canals (some of which might have been the channel of a local river or stream). Here we have an imposing gothic cathedral, and, facing it, the much small historic town hall.
The clou, however, is the attempt to create a pedestrian-only brownstone-paved square around both of the historic buildings. As residential buildings cannot be connected to the transit system by pedmalls (is it only me, or does the name sound a bit like a double-entendree?) only, the "inner ring" of buildings are commercial only, with the "outer ring" being residental.
Here's where I faced an unexpected problem, as given the rich variety of lots provided by Haarlemmergold, there still were NOT ENOUGH of them. Go figure! Anyhow, I've reached out to another great Dutch Batter (anagram to which is Butch Dater, btw), Vanderaap, to broaden the selection... All in all, I am not sure if I succeeded, given that Vanderaap uses a rather oversized scale compared to regular "Maxis" and Haarlemmergold, and I gave up on fighting for variety at some point... You be the judge:
