Rainbow Island a WIP

[Robodl95]

On a small island, on another planet, in a galaxy FAR FAR AWAY there lives the A'lle race, They are strong, beautiful and have adapted to include all colors of the Rainbow spectrum.... Welcome to Rainbow island :anime:

If you didn't quite grasp the picture yet this is a fantasy town... I really love it yet at the same time embarrassed by it because it's garbage to the other worlds I see here, I hope you won't mind me stinking up the forum :giggler:

If you would like to follow the process of the sims that inhabit the island go here (http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=389882) that's where you'll find the various members of the village.

As said before it is a very small tropical and alien island

I know about a lot of the problems you can see in the pictures, So don't bother telling me about
1. Various wave issues
2. Don't pay attention to any of the lots, All of them are unfinished
3. Terrain jaggedness and abnormalities
4. One of the waterfalls is too high

There are 2 things I've really been debating about.....
1. As you can see there are 2 smaller islands, My original plan was for them to be very very isolated areas only reachable by Divewell and Zenoporting (I plan to have a massive "Well Center" with wells that connect to nearly every lot in town) But is that a good idea?
2. Somewhat similar to the above issue is the no roads, During my playtests I havn't found a problem with no roads, The island is so tiny that it really doesn't take long to run to where you want to go, however I'm worried about the fact that MTS may not accept it without them :| Would there be a way to make invisible sidewalks possibly?

Pic Explanations:
1. Island overview
2. Inside of the most complete home
3. "The Tree of Life" (Name pending) It is the center of the village and a tomb
4. The waterfalls :lovestruc
5. Backwards View

Now I REALLY wish I had TS3! That looks amazing!

Aww thank you!

[Robodl95]

I figured it's about time to show you guys what I've been up to lately, Nearly everything that I said before I have a solution to, the head banging problems are at a minimum which is good :p

As you can probably notice I completely scrapped the outer islands and just expanded, making the island bigger

To deal with routing issues and stuff like that I will be using an invisible sidewalk (Haven't gotten there yet though)

The terrain is HIGHLY improved

Things that I already know.....
1. I am fully aware of those funky lots, that's what I'm working on at the moment :bunny:
2. I can see the floating trees and various wave things
3. The "Coral Reef" textures I haven't really gotten to yet so yeah ;)

Am I missing anything major???

The only thing I can comment on is the water. I realize it's a fantasy land, but I think the colors should blend a little more, whatever colors you choose. So maybe the inside needs to be a little bluer and the outside(if you can, I have no idea) a little more green? Or purple or whatever. You should still see a difference, but it would blend better.

Also, I just thought... maybe you want to change the grass color too? Maybe a yellow or orange? lol. Fantasy worlds rock. ;)

Looks great!

My plan is to do a totally custom sky/water but I haven't gotten there yet :)

I'm not sure about Orange grass though..... I don't want it to be horrible lose your lunch kind of colorful

So here's a shot of the lot placement which is pretty much done at this point..... Nothing real major changed, By the end of the day I would like to do a test run in game :jest:

Have you played Spore? Purple or Cyan work surprisingly well for grass colours. :)
