Schulmania

[Haljackey 17,398]

Wow, you really like The Simpson's, eh? Have you seen the movie? What's your favorite episode?

(Personally, I like Family Guy more, but there's nothing like that classic fat yellow guy that says "Doh!" all the time.)

Also, nice work with the coins!

Best,

-Haljackey

The excitement is mounting... I can't take it anymore...!

Devonshire: Excursions from Schulmericho

 

Schulmericho, the walled city, is the largest city in Devonshire. Originally, it was to be the largest city in the nation. It has served as a catalyst from growth in the east and now has a few neighbors which can be called suburbs. No other city has suburbs in Schulmania. That is mainly because of geography. But, here, Schulmericho was built compactly in a large area. Couple this compactness with the booming local economy and you have the recipe for new neighboring towns. Three towns have grown in the space between Schulmericho and the Lake George area. Two hug the coast and one is adjacent to Schulmericho itself. Lets’ begin our excursion from Schulmericho with a look around town.

 

It is still a bit odd to see walls around a Schulminion town, isn’t it?

 

It is easy to see how crowded and successful Schulmericho has become.

 

 

Narrow Style homes and shops lead to the highest population density in Schulmania.

 

Schulmericho is poised for explosive growth…

 

But, how do you grow when you are contained by walls?

 

Up to a point, you can grow upward. But, after a while,…

 

a certain density level is reached where new land becomes vital for future growth.

 

So, out the city gates we go in search of the new growth in the greater Schulmericho area. First up, the adjacent town of Schulmericho Farms. This agricultural area helps support the population of Schulmericho and other eastern areas, including New Atkinos.

 

A wide view of Schulmericho Farms. These fields provide crops for thousands of hungry Schulminions.

 

The agricultural community gathers here at quaint Amber Fields Community Church for services.

 

 

An interesting juxtaposition, is it not, of dense Schulmericho within its walls and this expansive agricultural area just beyond?

 

Farmer X. P. Lodingsims has very productive fields.

 

Now, to the new port servicing south Devonshire. Port Eastway was named because it is the new port serving the eastern part of the World Ocean. Of course, since the discovery of the Salt Ocean farther east, the name does seem to be a bit of an anachronism.

 

The port which gives the town its name. Many buildings are built in the same Lake Style as those found in Lake George.

 

The sprawling town has an odd mix of commerce by the port and residential/agricultural spread out to the north and east.

 

The town of Lakeshore is located between the eastern shore of the World Ocean and Lake George. Hence, the name of the town. Though connected to Darkel by the Sea and George’s Crossroads, the town has an identity all its own.

 

Lakeshore does not look like any other Devonshire town.

 

Again, a fairly odd blend of buildings.

A wider view of Lakeshore and its environs.

 

Now, let’s head back to the big city and enjoy a nice meal in Schulmericho.

 

Dinner at the City Gate Bistro… my treat!

Shouldn't the new towns next to Schulmericho also have walls?

Looks good, can't wait for more!

[John94538 0]

Amazing update, man! Schulmericho has some really nice farms.

[Hester 700]

This looks great!!! me and Cristian want to buy a place there.

[ky72x 13]

Now we're talking! Nice combination of Vanderaap's buildings with other ones in Schulmericho. But with all of the development, pretty soon it will have to start growing elseware. At least for now, we can all just enjoy how nice the city currently looks. Thanks for dinner, but now I'm really stuffed!

[bakercity 270]

How quaint looking the city, farms and small towns are. JKB

[bbfan02 23]

Wow, excellent work! I love the city center. Great buildings. I love the rolling hills and different farms! Great country roads too!

-bbfan02-

[anarchy0029 2]

Niiiiicccceeee! I love it. The open space of farmlands and the historic district. Very nice, and awesome.

[PhilsCafe 8]

Now, I enjoyed the tour very much... I love Schulmericho, the architecture style reminds me a lot of my hometown during the Middle Ages (not that I was born then... lol), laced up by the city walls. In fact, parts of that wall still exist.

Great update!

- Phil

[jacqulina 162]

hiya bruce i love the rural my friend very much,the tour was excellent very pretty things to see thanks.

[Smarty218 2]

Fantastic! I love how you use ped mall tiles rather than streets, it makes it look so much.... older....

[gabry85 2]

Wow, it looks excellent, love the farmlands! I accept your invitation to the bistro, I wonder how's Schulmericho cuisine!

[Benedict 3,119]

Great update - I love seeing the new areas of your region.

[Shingure 56]

I wonder did you grow or plop all of those. That use of the haarlemgold buildings are simply amazing. I also love the towns. Schulmericho is simply beautiful.

[fledder200 5]

owwwwww nice!!!!

looks like Liaane...but better!!

love it, love it, LOVE IT!!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Haha, dinner's on you? Is that going to be on the Abcvs account, too?

Great pictures, by the way. So peaceful-looking.

[Hester 700]

Put mine on abcvs's account too. :-)

[Schulmanator 5,812]

Joetropian1 I am not sure what Homer gets paid - probably a keg of duff and some donuts with sprinkles is all...

Haljackey The Simpsons is one of my regular shows. My favorite would probably be the one where Homer was accused of harassment... or perhaps the one where Bart had the fake driver license. Homer is awesome, but my favorites are Mr Burns and Nelson. My favorite all time segment is this one...

Smilin' Joe Fission

Smarty218 But, there's still the South Wirdleonia updates to come... can you hold out?

Leech10 7 of 9 Borgs would agree!

bbfan02 The cat in question is supermodel Meowza Purrfecto, now on this month's cover of Feline Fashion magazine, on sale in stores now.

PhatHead D'oh-nuts?! Lol!

Benedict I am glad you like it. I had another one but the embed link would not work. It was funny - another BK one.

Leech10 Well, logically, it would. But no one ever said something bad would happen outside of Schulmericho.

John94538 Thanks! Glad you like it.

Hester In which town?

ky72x I am glad you enjoyed dinner. Still got room for dessert?

Bakercity Thanks! You are welcome to come by anytime. You joining me for dinner at the bistro?

bbfan02 Thanks! It's the most sprawling part of Schulmania yet!

anarchy0029 Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it. More good stuff is coming up soon.

PhilsCafe Cool! I was hoping that it would look sort of authentic. I have to use my imagination... nothing around here was built before 1974 I think!

Jacqulina A pleasure, J! Not as great as PF2 rural areas, but I am working on it!

Smarty218 Yessssss! Just what I was hoping for! Thanx!

gabry85 They have some fine cuisine there. Remember, it is not only the home of the 30 slice pizza but also the home of the ice bucket (a gallon bucket of ice cream with unlimited toppings... serves one)!

Benedict Thanks! The next update is from the teaser - a new expansion into South Wirdleonia.

Shingure Thanks for stopping by. I actually grew a majority of the buildings. A few were plopped when the variety was not there and I started getting w2w repeats. Just the majority are au naturel!

fledder200 Glad you do! I was hoping you would like it.

NMUSpidey I got paid, so dinner is on me. The life of a lottery winner is a good one. (It was a $1 ticket, so order an individual French fry and a water).

Hester OK, 2 fries. And a water with 2 straws...

[Hester 700]

An individual French fry and water. Me and NMUSpidey sharing with 2 French fries and 2 straws. Way to GO! LOL

AND I remember Smilin' Joe Fission!!!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Wow, there are few things more romantic than sharing a single cup of water with two straws.

[Dsrwhat316 12]

yay, more Simpsons references! i remember watching all those episodes you mentioned.

can't believe it's been a while since i last dropped by; you're always visiting my CJ!

Schulmericho is looking right snazzy, man. really like those hilly farms and such. sweetness!

Hmmm, looks like Schulmania can't fry the French right now, is there a potato famine? And we're missing some straws, did they fell down from the berries?

"No excuse, 'tis da last straw! We Want Our Fries! We Want Them NOW!!!"

(Congrats on your 1,000^th post! )

[Markus J 242]

That old town you got going there is great! I love the use of Ped Mails to have areas where your Sims can only walk it makes it not only seem more real but it's nice to see paths of bustling Sims trading and talking with each other (it's what I imagine anyway). Normally I don't got for these old style cities/towns but you do them so well and realsticly that I would be foolish not to like this.

Great work as always

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

*A large bucket of french fries is beamed down*

Does that help?
