Default plasticbox Lots + EA Lots
I obtained permission from plasticbox to use the following lots.



Cheap prebuilt homes are common in the pacific, often looking like boxy little villas. Whole towns are sometimes made up of them, and these towns can look very mismatched and bright. plasticbox's Wee Barnoid lots bear a strong resemblance to these box houses, and so I used a lot of them on the smaller lots in my town. I have made minor changes to some of the flora on these lots to match the island, but otherwise they are the same as depicted at the links. For floor plans of these lots, look to the following links.

Thanks plasticbox, these have lended a level of authenticity and detail I couldn't have managed easily with my n00b building skills.

There are also four adapted EA lots, so I'm including screens of them in this post as well. None of the interiors are changed, I've just added some flora and a dab of terrain paint here and there. Thanks EA...

Default Lot #1: Mau Fale
Mau Fale - 2bed/2bath

A very large fale with lots of room to build and expand. In the populated savegame Mau Fale houses the ever-growing Mau family. Very close to fresh water fishing and the science rabbit hole.

Size = 40x40
Unfurnished = 53,443
Furnished = 62,815

Because this is the first of several fales, here is an example of a real (touristy) Pacific Island fale:

Large Pasimfic Fale - 2bed/1bath

Large because it is much larger than typical fale, it comfortably houses a family of five.

Default Lot #5: Tapuwhai Community Centre
Tapuwhai Community Centre

Libraries aren't common in the Pasimfic, but foreign aid keeps this small community/cultural centre chugging along. It houses bookshelves and some old computers.

Royal Tapuwhai Palace - 4bed/1bath

Passionfruit Crop Park is a community garden in the Old Farm District. Nice for a bonfire.

Default Lot#10: Ancient Pa
Ancient Pa Site

Pa are fortified villages built on naturally defensible land. This one on Mount Totara is small, not like the large villages futher south in the Pasimfic. It is ancient and abandoned, but some young sims have clearly made a den out of the place.

Default Lot #11: Power Gym
Power Gym

A gym with a kitchen and bathrooms. It's the nearest convenient public toilet to the toiletless library. I wanted, at least somewhere, to evoke the sheer lack of convenience in the Pacific sometimes. Unless you build a toilet yourself, sims that need to go at the library will have to pop over here. Has several of each machine, as well as a TV and stereo for work outs.

Default Flavour Lots
Flavour Lots

Almost all the flavour lots are categorised as 'hidden tombs', meaning that they won't show up in map view. Hidden Tombs do not require the World Adventures pack to function, and you can create them in CAW even with only the basegame installed. Consider them useful parts of the landscape, rather than actual lots.

Rabbitholes

Just as it looks like, these are the rabbithole lots. They're very basic, and most of the space is taken up by the rabbitholes themselves, so I've grouped them here.

Mau Family

Isobella is a mysterious old kuia, and a lot of gossip swirls around about her in the community. Although, she'll never be quite as controversial as her late sister.

Default Royal Family Tapuwhai
Tapuwhai Family (Monarchy)

The Tapuwhai family are cunning - not quite evil - but certainly not savoury characters. ...they're also in charge of the whole island. They hold the deeds to most of the businesses in Niua Simoa, and they milk their subjects for all they're worth. King Henry I has floated many crazy schemes for increasing the country's wealth, including making Mount Totara into a toxic waste dump for Sim Nation.

Stevenson Family

Robert Stevenson was born an orphan in Sim Nation, and for the longest time he knew only one thing about his history: His father came from Niua Simoa. Knowing the community was conservative, his husband Louis and his step-son Zepher were nervous about emigrating to the Pasimfic Islands, but they seem to have settled in with minimal fuss.

Old Ariifano is the unluckiest sim ever not to have the unlucky trait. Her life has really been a series of downs. Left pregnant with her son Terrence, she fought and saved as best she could, but the struggle has really worn her down and she's lonely in her old age.
