[jacqulina 162]

fantastic barns my friend i cant wait to use your awesome work

[Alien_397 8]

Well, I'll eventually have more info on what I'll being doing with those barns(and sheds, like I said, more to come) but I won't be making farms lot's out of them, though the props will be available for others to use.  I can't do everything.

Now in almost totally unrealated news, here's a little mini project that will actually get realeased in a short amount of time, that's right, something from me that doesn't require a month just to get it all organized, lol.  It isn't however utterly unrealated.  I was playing around with a new region I'd like to develope and in the process was playing around with some very rural and somewhat small rivers and streams and realized something missing.  No respectable river basin in the southern US(and I'm sure many other parts of the world) is without some entrepenurial individuals who rent out tubes, canoes, kayaks, and the likes for folks looking for yet another excuse to drink.  So here's what I came up with so far:

And note I've taken care of the finer points, as no float trip is complete without the requisite beverages, I've provided our floaters with ice chests as well :

that's awesome

[jacqulina 162]

wow these are awesome thankyou very handy in deed

[GMT 389]

release!!!!!

[bakercity 270]

Now that is totally tubular dude. It looks awesome. JKB

[hamsterTK 93]

awesome, how exactly did you do that?

one thing that would be cool would also to have people swimming. I hate the maxis beaches and the funky water bug they cause, but Ive always wanted to make decent swimming areas

[Alien_397 8]

brtim2 and jacky:  thanks for stopping by

GMT:  soon, soon

Bakercity:  tubular, hehe, nicely done.

Hamster:  Magic, yea thats it...  lol, they're done the same way as any of the floating boat lots that have been released, the model is a building placed on a water tile in LE.  There are 3 models for variation, each on a separate lot, since there is no way to place building families on a ploppable lot.  I've also got a single lot (with a prop family instead) to place on land for use with ploppable water, and set up to sit on top of Jeronij's  new transparent ploppable water.

Swimmers, well, that would be a lot more work to make look right, as I'd have to actually make bones and IK chains for my model, which is by no means that flexible right now, if yall could only see it.  Of course yall could if I'd show it, but that would just take away from the mystery.

Anyways, now that I'm done rambling on, swimmers, no time soon, canoes however

[jacqulina 162]

very interesting and very nicely done,excellent work

[Silur 3,306]

Exceelent work !!!

... but my favorite ... and I wait  ... about Your rural fences and roads ...

Thank You .....

[njdevi66 12]

Bravo alien... bravo, this is some awesome work and awesome fences. I love the rural areas and cant wait to add this to my city/rural region. Again, awesome work my friend, keep up the great work

[Benedict 3,119]

I just wanted to add my support - you are doing an incredible job, and seeing your work used in CJs by talented authors such as Darmok and Jacqulina just proves that. Also, I love the name of the project - clever. Keep it up.

[bakercity 270]

Keep it coming and take your time with things than rush them. JKB

[BurroDiablo 222]

Oh man, the flora on the 2 previous pages are AMAZING! You definitely got me watching, its gonna be Christmas coming early for alot of us when you release this stuff... if your release it before Christmas that is, lol

[Alien_397 8]

Jacky; njdevi66; Benedict: thanks!

Silur:  Really appreciate your support for this, and they'll be coming along soon enough.  I think...

Bakercity:  Oh, taking my time... check!

El Burro:  heh, might be if I don't stop adding things to do...

And on that note, lol, here's some lake water flora I've been playing with.  Some old stumps, very common in reservior lakes, as they are left from when the area was flooded.  Also some lillypads, on a more realistic scale than Gizmo's and rendered at 4.5 meters so that they appear to sit on top of shallow water(and Transparent Plobbable water)

The Hunter's Lodge isn't mine, but the pier is.  Another lakeside project I'm tossing around ideas for.

[Hamish 1,370]

I've been away for a while. But this is looking fantastic, great work.

[jayo 44]

Sickness----

That it some good shizz your doing there-how about a longer version of the pier thingy

[jacqulina 162]

wow thats awesome the flora on the water is amazing,i love the pier you sure are adding some great things to the game to make it more realistic my friend,awesome work

[BurroDiablo 222]

Astounding... it reminds me of a place me and my dad used to go fishing, there were dead stumps under the water so casting out was a gamble, lol.

Keep it up!

[beebs 129]

This is astounding. I have got to get a PC running again, so I can get this and start toying around with it.

[Silur 3,306]

Hi, Alien ...

Yes - this is Great Work - I like It !!!

[gabry85 2]

Great work, Alien! I can't wait you release it!

[autoVino 26]

wow, you're adding a whole new art to the game, great job!

[Jasoncw 11,933]

Lookin' great!

[Fallon144 1]

nice man, good project

[Alien_397 8]

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone.  If yall haven't noticed, the, um, floaters(still a little confused on what to call them, lol) have been uploaded.

Jayo:  the piers are still in a very much developemental stage, so I haven't made any final plans on them, so maybe...

Now, While I'm here, I believe I'd said something about canoes before.  Here's an (almost) completed model that I'll use to make some lots much like what I did with the floaters.  Though it's hard to get all the detail in there with the limitations of the game, I'm rather satisfied so far, just a few texture things I want to make adjustments to.

[bakercity 270]

I will bring my fishing gear. JKB

[jacqulina 162]

wonderfull thankyou,i love those canoes
