@AndrewGloria Your sims' houses could have drainpipes too:

I need these in Lacuna Delta as it rains a lot, but your Veronaville always looks sunny.

Still working on pleasantview - and actually took the curious question seriously so now I've moved around a bit on the town to add a block of actual apartments and stuff for fun. Gonna make some of them shops but yeah. The layout for Pleasantview is currently this.

By all means: yes I am turning Pleasantview into some English/Danish town just like I turned Riverblossom into a rural danish village.

Welcome to Desert Bluffs!

Working on my first attempt at a desert community - something waaay outside my comfort zone hahah. I think it's turning out nicely though! Possibly a bit too crowded, still need to get used to the empty spaces typical of desert towns.

P.S: if someone spots from what these houses are based on, I will be thoroughly impressed :p

@Morrowindnostalgia Lovely! Such a lot of detail! Now I want to know where you got all of your CC, especially the washing lines and the vehicles! I don't recognise the place though, but it looks very realistic!

@Simsample: thank you! That's a great compliment coming from you I'm 99% certain the vehicles are from Criquette's Busy Roads hood deco collection. As for the washing lines, that is a very good question... I THINK it's one of CuriousB's mods (possibly Forgotten Town/Ghost town collection) or it could be something from PsychoSim.... If anyone knows an easy way to see the file name of a specific neighbourhood deco do let me know and I'll go check!

Edit: I really like the city vibes of your photos! Big cities seem a bit challenging for me, I never know how to plan them properly and how to use hood deco accurately :p

Double edit: Turns out it was Criquette after all! The washing lines are from his Smuggled Decos Pt1 collection. The windmills are a mystery to me though.

@Morrowindnostalgia Oh, I didn't realise they were hood decos, how effective! I didn't have the cars, so I downloaded them, but I did have the washing lines downloaded, but not in-game. Very cool, thanks for the info! I think the windmills must be Chimerical's 3t2.
Thanks for the compliment, that town is an old one I've been playing for probably 10 years or more, it has evolved rather than being designed! I've been working on a desert neighbourhood too, but not nearly as detailed as yours!

@Simsample: one reason I love Criquette's work is that despite being hood decos, they look fantastic in lot view as well - you can't even tell the difference (until your sim walks through an invisible car lol).

I hope my hoods will survive 10 years! I almost lost Hallowbrook a while back due to corruption. Rebuilt it from an old backup, fingers crossed that no problems pop up again.

Intro

I love it, and I prefer the tarmac roads to the dirt roads I think. Such a lot of detail, amazing work @morrowindnostalgia !

@simsample: Glad you like the finished product, thanks for the kind words! As for the dirt roads... agh, it's such a hard decision! Some moments I'm loving the tarmac more, then suddenly I'm back to loving the dirt roads hahaha....Tarmac makes more realistic sense I think.... It's a small town in the middle of nowhere, but there's enough people living there that they'd invest in proper roads I think :p

This... Thing.

@Sims2Christain Looks like an alien artefact!

Radioactive roof snow?

Probably, this is Lacuna Delta! (People keep telling me to use DreadPirate's less blue snow shaders, but I like blue, dammit! And I won't override my blue UI either. )

Who stole all me sand?!
