We still need:

- Business center: 25x20
Beach Outskirts:
- Creek with the swordfish: 40x30
-Residential x1: 10x20 (20 facing 10 siding)
- beach front
Mountain Outskirts:
- Nectary : 20x20
- Pizzeria : 30x30
-Military Base
-Oldcastle (castelvecchio)
-Mines

And enough room for Ambition expansion.

Here is a picture who might inspire the CAW artists:


The town is going to be smaller and surrounded by mountains but I really like the port area of this picture.

Since you asked about the roads, Beaver, something close to that would be great:

Oh, that would look nice! Maybe that for the normal roads, and there can be dirt roads leading to that witch hut and maybe into some forests!

That would be perfect! Just one thing, the picture is just a guidance, we can't reproduce it since it's lemoncandy's work.

Im pretty sure CAW has a similar texture available. If not, we could always ask permission.
I also have a house Ive been working on, Ill upload some screenshots on the building thread.

Got roads! WOOO!

Woo! I'm glad you started working on the World. I can't wait to see the rest of it. I like the idea of using dirty roads for the forest, leading up to the witch hut.

Great work beav! (I hope you don't mind me calling you that)

Can I see a more close-up picture of the roads? Have you actually started to build our world or is it roads on a generic world?

Roads on a generic world, but when I morph the terrain I will take your pictures into account! But now I am goin to bed. Kinda Beat.

Thanks for the close-up! We're gonna need to rework these roads to erase those ugly lines but that's a good start

I thought a lot about it and I do think that the most important thing to do right now would be to draw a plan of our town, not on CAW, just a plan with the disposition of the lots etc to give us a precise idea of the overall look of the town and what goes where and the sizes of the lots. I'll help you know what should be where and with the sizes of course. Could you try your hand at this? I know I gave you changes to make for your building but this is kind of a priority since it's going to helps us all.

Im not sure how to erase the lines, if i do, the rocks appear all distorted.

EDIT: I figured it out! No more fugly yellow lines! :P

I remember seeing dirt and cobblestone road replacements made by Regina from MATY. Perhaps we could use those? Or maybe ask her how she got rid of the white lines.

That's awesome! Can I see the result now?

PS: Have you tried working on the plan? Do you need help?

Edit: Sorry I haven't seen you posted the result. Can you erase the white lines too?

Yay, no more yellow lines!

Yeah, Sure. Ive got the world terrain up! Still a work in progress, though. im gonna finish the roads.

Wonderful! Can't wait to see that

Uggh, I cant seem to get the worlds roads the way I want. This may take a while.

Sorry about that I wish I could help.

Two new pictures that could help doing the world landscaping:

Alright! Beta's Up! It needs decorating and lots, but I think this is a good start.
On a personal note, I think its too small.

Yeah! Nice work

It may be too small yes, since we want lots of mountains. Could you also make it look more like the first pic I just posted? With highest hills and and a more close crescent form, rocky on the edges look.

I have to agree with beaver, maybe a more roads. But overall it looks great (=
In another thread we were talking about an area for a plaza. Maybe something of a cliff would be cool, a community lot could go up there. Maybe make the island, overall, bigger. So then that little isle thing we could actually use for lots. Then it would be connected with a bridge? Anyways, thats my two cents.

Wow, that looks great, Beaver.

Alright, Ive got a bigger world, Large map w/ max hight 300. It should house all of the buildings we need. Plus it has a volcano! F-U-N!
Now our sims can experience warmer climate!

Awesome! Can we have a waterfall too? Oh, and what about having even more different heights, the sea level, the hill level and then the mountains? And a cliff at one of the side?
