Lava Pools

The last mosaic of Kona Ridge. Another one taken on a partly cloudy day when the rays aren't at their full strength (in order to minimize the glare) Not much else to say...hope you enjoy and Candyland is back in business.

Enjoy! I mean, I hope you enjoy and give Candyland a chance! (like you haven't...lol, thank you all so much for your continued support...remember this journal is for all of you)

[suplado! 23]

[penguin007 27]

Will

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Cool! Looks lush indeed. Nice mosaic.

[patriots_1228 51]

the ones by the beach. they are by N704 or somthing.

It looks great lol the theme, but im really watching your journal because of "the thing"

[Cleaner475 150]

I'm sorry I only came here because of the promise of 'Holy Cows' I wanted to find out if they had the priest suits on

lol, just kidding, very nice mosiac, great work, keep it up,

Richard

[homeandaway 1]

looks kool...

[SimRabbit 48]

nice, very nice, and who is that fat ass> the purple thing?

keep it up

[Gayowulf 14]

Looks amazing. Pardon me whilst I retrieve my jaw from the floor where it landed.

[IDS2 3,345]

 Just letting you know I'm not dead! I still lov SC4 ad when I have the time I am planning a major development of Khantayka. I'm really excited to show you guys everything (including the site of the new North American Simlympic Headquarters. And no matter how silly it may seem I still can't steer myself to realism. Sorry guys, its a direct cutoff from CBD to rural. I tell you, it's just the weirdest thing.

And now for a WORD OF ADVICE!!!

Do any of you practice an instrument?

Tired of angry parents and peers dissing you over your playing?

Well, look no further than your LOCAL LIBRARY! 100% guarantee to promote 10-15 seconds of practice and few injuries! Stop in today!

---

Holy crap I am so weird...and that purple blob really seems to be working. I see I have some dropped jaws. I hope to see more of that., as I improve my methods. (I've been doing a little bit of that when I have time which is rare)

---

You know why there are thousands of cjs? so that everyone can find one that they like. I have favorites, just like everyone else, and that is why CANDYLAND exists. 

See you all eventually for a bit of catch-up.

(-hoping people still enjoy CANDYLAND-) ~IDS2

[Deever 23]

I still enjoy CANDYLAND. A bunch of CJ's that I know are experiencing some "lag," so to speak (including mine). Strange. Is this some sort of prophecy or something?. . . (NAH! People are probably just busy)

[IDS2 3,345]

Well, I have a it of something for you until I unveil some new mosaics and some plain old shots of Kingsford Park.

I'm very sorry, it is a .png, so it may not load. Don't feel bad as it is nothing spectacular. It is simple a development progress diagram. The yellow line is where development has progressed and the green is where it is planned.

Yes, it is very crude and was done in less than 30 seconds. I am sorry as I have made one mistake. Pretend that the font Caliber Junction isn't there. Caliber Junction is the tile above it .

Enjoy!

[IDS2 3,345]

What? An update? Candyland is having an update? Woah!

suplado: Thanks! Yeah they hide everything...and they are repetitive, but I like them. Thanks again!

penguin: Thanks! And I promise it'll come eventually. After the development I am working on now that will be my focus-outer suburbs and farms.

Schulmanator: Haha, nice avatar. And it is very lush. Beautiful if you take the trail through the trees. Thanks!

patriots: oh, "that thing"? I should make "that thing" a trademark. No, not the...um...thing in general, but...its...phrase. So cooooooool! And thanks again for your input.

cleaner: Oh they do. And wings too. You know, it's funny you sa....

*ghhgtttttttttttzztttt!!!!*

(oh, no!)

Hey cleaner mah paaaaaaaaaal! Read this journal because I told you to! That should be a good enough reason! Or else I'll do absolutely nothing whatsoever!

*ghhgkkghkhtzzzzztttttt!!!* (end of transmission)

*pant, pant* sorry, cleaner, I really don't know when he's coming...thanks for yourcomment...*whew*

homeandaway: Hey! I haven't seen you in a while. Jacky's Kabin looks nice, by the way. I should check out Seoul as well. Thanks for stopping by!

SimRabbit: Thanks! And...oh, "that thing?" Well I can't tell you what it is, actually. That wouldn't be fair. But you might recognize it...and I should add that these are old mosaics, but your new BAts are phenomenal, and I am using them extensively. You're a great BATter. Thanks.

Alafel: Thanks! Haha, sorry about that, let me help you with that. *hands back jaw* There we go. Sorry about that again, and thanks for your comment! I'm glad to hear that you're liking my journal!

Deever: Thanks, glad you'll still look at it. I should check in on Miami Tint too. I have been very busy...very very busy...but, hey, go figure, it's the busiest time of year.

An Update? omgz!!!!!!!!!!!111 lolz!!!!!!!!1111

(uh, a little far on that Grima...I mean, super mystery advisor.)

Well, I HAVE been VERY BUSY, but now here is a bit of respite and catching up as I have a nice long weekend. I should post updates on weekends, when I have time. Sounds good to me. How about you? Are you guys still interested? Well I guess I'll find out as I post the next mosaic...taken in the middle of june so it's rather old and you guys aren't getting nice new mosaics. But they'll come soon! No mosaics of the region's central CBD I'm afraid, due to a problem with the NAM which I have in where none of my road interesctions show up and I have to repave them which takes each one 10 minutes to load blahblahblah...how about I just shut up and show you the dang mosaic?

The Park

Taken when my "mad skills of SC4" were a bit lower. As you can see, the grid is on, the lake in the park isn't on flat ground, etc. But I am very proud that that downtown was 100% grown. At least I can say that. But again, I'll shut up and let you enjoy the limited amount of generosity that I have...OK whatever.

That's right, EVERYTHING GROWN! Except for the rewards like the stock exchange

[KingTitan 6]

Looks good...Love the downtown area....The palms are much...but still works for me.

[ilikehotdogsalot 307]

nice to see your journal back and kicking your downtown area is very impressive, especially since it is all grown! that blue tower on the bottom right has to go though

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Glad to see you back in action!

[suplado! 23]

cool update!! downtown looks very nice...hmm -- whats with the futuristic tower?

[WarriorX 0]

Second post yay!

Me like 2nd and 3rd Mosaics!

Keep up the good work! =D

[IDS2 3,345]

OOH YAH ANUDDER UPDAATE!!!

KingTitan: Hey you're back! Thanks, it did turn out nice, and yes there are a lot but, hey, I hear palm trees are a form of kudzu.

hotdogs: Hehe, thanks. And yeah, one of very few downtowns that I've grown. Oh, and about that blue tower, guess where I found it?? You'll NEVER GUESS! It's almost a UFO ride to the official exchange.

Schulmanator: Thanks, I'm glad too!

suplado: Thanks! Yeah it's a little weird but...lol.

WarriorX: Thank you! I should really show some more recent ones though...thanks again!

pl0x m3 w4nt 4n0th3r upd4t3!!!

(Shut up, Grima...I mean, super mystery editor!) Anyway...

University

The Alma Matter? I don't like this university font...that's better. Like I said...the Alma Matter...whether it be doctorate, baccalaureate, or lucky graduate, this place HAS IT ALL! This mosaic is in the same city as the last, it's just a bit better. This is probably my favorite mosaic, but hey, just me... oh, and the images are jpegs now, so they should show up!

Enjoy!

ENJOY IT OR ELSE!    

[Giligone 10]

Hey man, great job here on this new CJ. I'm loving the mosaics. Your city is huge. 3 million people. I've only ever gotten 1 city bigger than that ever in sc4, so well done.

[penguin007 27]

A flurry of updates at last!!! Great pics there cant wait to see more

Will

[IDS2 3,345]

Giligone: Hey welcome to CANDYLAND! Thank you, I'm liking this much more than my other two journals, mosaics are for me. Haha, yeah that is really big, you're right, I'm trying to think of one that I've made that's larger. (was Nemonos that one, btw?) Thanks again!

penguin: Haha! Yeah I'm going to try and get them on whenever I can. Thanks, plenty more will come, I assure you, I have a bunch of mosaics saved and I have a whole new area of the region to take mosaics from. Sadly, the central core isn't one of them, at least not at this time, but we'll see.

---

Ok, I know, I posted that update kind of late last night, at least for those of you in the Western Hemisphere. But now you CAN'T escape, as it is CJ PRIMETIME!

---

Twin Towns

The last mosaic of the northwest island's largest city, Sherburne, is now here. As you can see, there are two business districts. Not much else to say except that everything is still grown!

Hey, the thing actually left us alone for an update! Lucky us!

Enjoy everyone!

[KingTitan 6]

The grid look is very Chicago - like.....which by the way is prolly the only world city as such....i could be mistaken.....i think you need more green.....(just an opinion) but then again.......it's your CJ right? LOL I do like it friend..... Great Stuff!!!

[patriots_1228 51]

MAH STadUm Iz LIk DEr!!!!

*sings monday night football song*

good work. Ive got an awesome intro line to the review, ready?

"CandyLand, by IDS2, is a journal of suprises. Who knows what we will find inside? Pinwheels? Talking fudge? Willy Wonka? Gingerbread people? Micheal Jackson??!!!"

[suplado! 23]

cool mosaic...its a really nice town, uhm, maybe some diagonal streets would look good too...

[IDS2 3,345]

WELL it's not an official update but then again it is. Long overdue...

REGIONAL PROGRESS!

Click on the picture to see a higher resolution photo (warning-large file size)

(By the way, Sherburne is in the top left corner. Notice how griddy it is. And I will be uprooting all of those Maxis trees and replanting them with new ones.)

Enjoy!
