Opinions on Moonlight Falls?

[Korva]

So I finally picked up Supernatural, and so far I haven't actually played, just looked around and edited the town. It's different for sure. Appaloosa Plains, my usual haunt, has that nice and compact downtown area with all the community lots close together, but Moonlight Falls is the complete opposite. And while Appaloosa Plains doesn't have much in the way of empty lots, Moonlight Falls has a bunch including a grand total of four 64x64s. Awesome! I love how the scattered lots and the many trees give the place an "on the edge of the wilderness" feeling.

What I'm not so keen on are most of the combined rabbit holes (aside from the school and the city hall) because they are so tiny and bland, with no decor on their lots at all. Just asphalt and parking spaces. Also, unlike with Appaloosa Plains there are no customized Ambitions lots (fire station, consignment store, salon, junkyard), and the default ones look odd in this neighbourhood.

What baffles me is that none of the empty houses support kids, but that is apparently par on course for "official" towns. I don't even like children, and I still feel bad at the thought of them being dumped on the floor like dirty laundry until they grow into the child stage and can use a proper bed. Also, the tiny one- and two-bedroom starters have pretty bad layouts.

It's hard for any town to contend with Appaloosa Plains because it's "my home" (like SV seems to be for many others), but with some editing I do believe Moonlight Falls will be a strong challenger. And since I like editing lots, it's almost a win-win situation. :p The overall "feel" of the town is important to me, and this one does have a unique charm.

Wanted to add: the big, annoying downside (to me) of MF is that the gym and the pool are both very difficult to customize, and the gym has to be significantly upgraded to get to level 1.

The gym is quite small, yeah. I enlarged it to make room for a few more machines, a bar and some seats, and will likely put a hot tub or two in the basement where the bathrooms are. What I found curious is that the pool (and the gym? I don't remember) requires a cheat in order to be fully editable. Haven't encountered that before.

This is my favorite new town as well. I love the homes that come with it, and there are lots of interesting Sims to meet. I was VERY happy when I loaded it up!

I like MF a lot.  I skip around in towns depending on mood.  I tended to play SV most, with some Sunlit Tides (love the beach feel, but it is kind of hard to get around in).  Now that I have SN, I almost exclusively play MF, because I really like the town.  It's easy to get around in, and it is laid out in an orderly fashion, but doesn't feel too crowded.  I really like a lot of the houses (and have no problems evicting townies--in fact, I tend to evict most of them and fill a town up with my own Sims). 

There is a lot of space to add lots, too.   

And it looks particularly pretty in winter!

I agree with Korva on the lousy rabbit hole buildings, sent my sims out to dinner and stated to eat outside, they ended up standing outside eating. 
I have taken the area around the park and Court House and put the Bistro and Bookstore there and plan to add a couple of more.  I might delete the ones that are already there (diner, bookstore and others).  The criminal location is a lousy one also, so am thinking of taking the saloon from AP (I think it is also a criminal location, not sure) and putting it on the outskirts of the town.  Also thinking of adding the miltary base from SV; who ever heard of a military that is supposed to have fighter pilots and space travel yet no airstrip.     
Otherwise I love the town, it has become my favorite one.  The houses are beautiful, they have that old fashioned stately feel to them; like some houses in my home village and in small town close by.  Plenty of room between houses is a plus and lots of good size empty lots and ones that can be left as community lots for stores or changed to residential lots. 
Not as many whackos as in SV either.
