Spring lot looks great! I like the concept of the shipwreck, and it does look better than using the standard CAW object, but it still looks a bit too blocky to sit well with me. Does it have explorable chambers left? Any secrets at all? That would be cool. Would be a good place for a small trash pile and a metal spawner, if nothing else. |

Is there more CFE that you can do with the boat? Perhaps make it look as if it's sinking into the sand? I agree that I love the concept, especially if there's still rooms left in it (perhaps with a treasure chest?), but at the moment it's kinda squarish. |

I decided to rebuild the boat in an older, more interesting way. Instead of being modeled after an early 1900's small cargo boat, I'm opting for a heavily corroded mid-1800s clipper, which might be the same thing as a cargo boat. Really, I don't know anything about boats, so I'm kinda guessing. The section of the boat you see in the pictures will also be accompanied by a mostly intact cabin and keel that will be located at the opposite end of the lot. Also, if this boat design sticks, the boat's name will be Elizabeth Dane, which is somewhat of a movie reference. Is this boat better? I looked over some of the old sims 2 boats for ideas    Quote:

Ooh, I really think the boat looks better now! It looks much better with the bow curving inwards. |

 That looks much better. It's looking a bit like a modern redo though, perhaps something to do with the textures you're using? | |

I love the newer version of the wreck  Less sharp edges, more curves, more realistic after so much time in the sea ^^ |

Still struggling with CAW :x |

Love it! And I love the idea of being able to explore the inside. =) |

Maybe you should have the ship lot as a Hidden tomb-marked community lot instead of residental or do you intend to make the lot livable? |

Just wanted to say, I got a new PC [finally and yay!], and this was the 1st non-EA world I played [errm... play-tested].  And wow! This is a wonderful town-- your landscaping and building details are impeccable. That wrecked boat on the beach is fabulous! Perfect addition!

Will this be updated? Or is it scrapped? |

This world isn't dead yet. For the next few weeks, however, my time is pretty dead. 3 weeks from now I should be in the clear for a couple months, yippee, so good progress should be made pretty soon.  Though I don't have pictures of it, the lighthouse is 100% done with an interior now. Regarding the boat, I'm considering the idea of waiting until the island life, wrong name, patch to come out because it looks like it will allow for shorter, less than three click high, walls. Also, Playinsafe, thanks for all of that feedback via PM. I would take you up on the spelling thing, but to enter those descriptions is not a copy-paste thing. They all must be entered via the hard to see miniscule in-game menus. | |

I have a question How did you make that curve on the front of the roof on this building? Did you follow a tutorial or are you just that awesome? If so, would you be willing to do a tutorial on this?   |

There is a video on youtube by the sim supply that did a tutorial on curved roofs...the technique is pretty much the same. Here's the link ..hope that helps!

I just found this, and sat here like an idiot with my mouth agape going through the whole thread. This is so amazing, I can't even believe it. I have been looking for a world like this forever, and unable to find one, recently spent weeks and weeks making myself crazy with CAW, trying to edit Pounawea into something similar (I needed large lots!). Even if I had succeeded in my attempt, I wouldn't have been able to make anything like this. You are an incredibly talented artist and builder, and your attention to detail is remarkable. I can't thank you enough for this world! It's the perfect mix of everything that I've been looking for, and I'm beyond excited to play the finished version and explore this world. It's been about a month since we've gotten an update - how are things going with Reyes these days? |
