Really good waterfront development there! Much better than what I've been able to accomplish. I must try harder....

[De Ja Vu 117]

Wow! That update was superb! I liked everything about it...yet again you have proved yourself! Looking forward to seeing more!

[art128 4,622]

very great update

A wonderful start to Alba Serena 2! I was expecting to see a lot of modern high-rises in the city, but it's got a more classical, central European feel to it. I love how you've combined the best of European architecture with tropical shorelines; if only the water in Europe was that clear.....

I can't wait to see more!

[threeswept 12]

Splendid waterfront! The entire region is a sailors paradise...and, what Sim wouldn't want to holiday here?

New and old buildings go together well. Glad you loved Etretat, I’ll make an update soon, Alba Serena 1 is currently stopped but it’ll come back. Thanks for your comment.

Well… this beautiful (and virtual) house is really mine, but perhaps it's not... I think that next updates will tell more.

Thank you, glad you love it !

 

Alabaster

Thanks for your comment ! Yes I love high-rises and I’ve a lot of them in my game, but for a little island like Esmeralda, too much towers would be a problem because there’s few terrain for build. And yes I love the mix of architecture, but it’s very hard to do lol

 

threeswept

Thank you very much, yes I wanted my region be a little paradise for the sims, and as you’ll see in the next update, it is !

 Update 17 – Adventures in islands, part II -The six columns of Esmeralda

 

 Some pictures are in full resolution.

 

 

Three days before, I was in my little appartment of Corsica, and now, I live in a palace. The dome is made of gold and the facades are in white marble, the roof is made with blue stones. Why was it on sale at low-costs? I don’t know, but I’m searching for the reason. There’s certainly an explanation. But it’s very beautiful house. Just a little too big for me...

But, while waiting for my situation be more clear, I continue ma visit of the island. Inhabitants of Esmeralda are big workers. As you can see, they’re busy, really very busy. Beaches are everywhere, it’s a little paradise.

People are very nice with me, everybody knows my name and greets me with respect. I don’t understand why.

 

Today, I’ve got acquainted with three people, who apparently are working for me. I have a private car, a grey limo, and a chauffeur, Paul. I have also a gardener, Philip, and a secretary, Patricia. Now, there’s nothing anymore who astonishes me here.! But there’s a little problem.....I’ve no money to pay them.

Furthermore, something worries me : I can’t make phone calls out of the archipelago. Telephone calls seems impossible with the outside world. The same goes for sending letters : it’s too impossible because there’s neither post office, nor mailboxes. There’s not airport, and no boat who arrives or leaves since the one which brought me here has left the port. A lot of questions without answers…

While walking along the island, I discovered an hidden place. Here, all seems abandoned, and jungle is everywhere. Six giant columns stand on both sides of an interrupted road. That reminds me that yesterday I found in a drawer an old book writen in italian with a map of the island, who’s talking about these columns. I must try to have more information.

But now it’s time to return at home. The sun goes down on the horizon, and inhabitants are leaving the beaches. Always smiling and polite, it seems that they have neither things to worry about, nor problems in their life. However, I still don't know how this archipelago is governed. It seems that here one lives in autarky. Back in my wonderful palace, Philip greets me with respect. As certainly he knows better me this country, I ask him : 

- Can you tell me who leads this archipelago ?

- It is you, Your Excellency !

More adventures with the next update.

 

Thanks for your visit, hope you’ve enjoyed !

[Schulmanator 5,799]

Awesomeness!

I love the beach scenery... and the columns are a welcome surprise. I wonder if there's some exciting mystery behind them...

[newyorkrunaway1 110]

wow, very nice beach area there

[anarchy0029 2]

DAMN!!!!

What a wonderful segment in your CJ. Lots of creativity. I really love it. You add some realism and life to it. Plus, the beaches look H-O-T!!!!

Keep up the good work, homegyrl! It's coming out lovely.

[Tomasneto 20]

Great tropical beach! And fantastic jungle too... Very nice!!!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Ooooo, very pretty again. And you're the leader! That must be exciting. There must be some sort of mystic prophecy, and you have to fulfill it by slaying a dragon or something. Good luck with that.

[Alabaster 0]

A great story to go along with a great CJ! Well done!

And I must agree that those beaches are amazing. Keep it up, Your Highness

[Twenty20 28]

Schulmanator

 Thank you, glad to have your visit ! And yes, you’re right, there’s a mysterious story with these columns. My vacations are very exciting isn't it ?

  

newyorkrunaway1

 Thank you for your comment, beaches and shorelines are one of the things that I love to make in the game.

 

 anarchy0029

 Thank you for the compliment ! It’s always nice to have your visit in my little virtual world, glad you love it.

 

 Tomasneto

 Thank you very much! I planted each tree myself.

  

NMUSpidey

 Yes I’m the leader (oh my God...) I must think to buy a sword in case I see a dragon ! Thanks for your comments.

 

 Alabaster

 Thanks for your nice comment, my Highness is very glad you like her story !

 

 

[jacqulina 162]

[hahaha 0]

Nice Cj here! so pretty ^^

[Zelgadis 638]

An unusual tale. But fun.

Fantastic resort. That hotel looks like an overturned ship! Good theme, I think. And what a wonderful collection of BATs I've never seen before.

[Darmok 34]

Wow... just finished looking at your CJ... I must say that I'm really impressed! When I was looking at your update on page 8, the one about the flying dream... I must admit that I didn't read it, I was looking at the pictures, and all of a sudden while examining the last one I couldn't help but saying out loud, "On dirait l'Aiguille et les falaises d'Étretat..." I'm a big fan of Maurice Leblanc books on Arsène Lupin you see... So that picture reminded me of "L'Aiguille Creuse" one of his best novel in my opinion, Anyhow, reading your following comment stating that it was in fact a rendition of Étretat I was doubly astonished... You really have created a plausible Étretat "atmosphere" in that particular update.

Besides that update I must say that I like your style, you put your heart in what you do and it shows.

Je te souhaite tout le succès que tu mérite et je suis sur que ton, ou tes CJ, iront loin!

-John

 Encore une fois BRAVO!

Happy Xmas for you too.

 Thank you, very glad you like it.

 

 Zelgadis

 Thank you ! about my story, as I did not find a character, I thought that it would be more fun to live these adventures myself.

 

Darmok

 Thank you, I’m very glad that you like Etretat, one of my previous updates. I’m too a big fan of the adventures of Arsène Lupin, I’ve read all the books of Maurice Leblanc. Your comment and your appreciation are very nice, thank you again !

 

 **************

And now, it’s teaser time. The next island...

[Schulmanator 5,799]

It looks like you have another winning update in store for us! I can't wait.

[suplado! 23]

ill bet its a real cool island...

[hahaha 0]

what is it? a grape party? 

[Zelgadis 638]

Heh. In that case, nothing like living vicariously through a story, eh? I know the feeling.

Lovely farm too.

ISF

[feliwi 4]

fantastic, just fantastic! I love your splendid terraforming with the beaches and the rocky coasts, I really wanna be there while I've got only 5 degrees celsius, at least) outside! Keep up the great work!

[Petrovar Ambassador 15]

cool teaser, hope to see another amazing update

[Keegan V50 15]

NEW PERSONAL REPLIES

Schulmanator

Yes I’m working hard on a new and mysterious island !

  

suplado!

This island will be more “wild” than the previous.

  

hahaha

No, Pedro has lost his duck and everybody is searching for it.

 

Zelgadis

Yes, after “pelican story”, I thought that living myself these adventures was more fun. And I’ve fun writing them too.

   

feliwi

Thank you for your visit. In fact I think that it’s more easy to make beaches with simply terraforming the ground, than with the ploppables beaches of the game whose borders are visibles through the water.

   

Petrovar Ambassador

Thank you, my next update is under construction.... lol.

  

 

Victor Valdes

Thank you, I’ll be glad to have your visit for my next update.
