Yepatilla Archipelago

[TimeMaster 4]

Hello! Welcome to the beautiful Archipelago of Yepatilla. I will have Update 1 here for you in just a few minutes. I hope you like it! -Time

[TimeMaster 4]

Ok. Here is Update 1. One Day, there was a shipwreck on a ship. Several people died, though about 160 sims survived on a raft. They had little water and no food. It was hot and crowded. Finally after being stranded for two days on the open sea, one sim saw land, and shouted "Land Ho!" Everyone turned to look. Then they started vigorously paddling. When they got there, they used the 30 cords of wood that the raft used, and chopped down a couple trees to build farms, houses, and a few windmills. This is what the town looks like right now.

This is just a large overview.

A zoomed in picture of the southern part of town.

The Central Part of the Main Island.

This is the northern part of town.

The first road. Also the first windmill was built here.

Just a center view. Central Square at the top is where people would like to develop.

A closer view of Central Square.

I leave you with a night view.

I hope you liked it!

The survivors have done admirably with setting up their town under those trying circumstances.

[jacqulina 162]

[fabsies55 5]

REPLIES:

Schulmanator: Yes. But remember that they had a supply of tools, and cut down some trees.

Jacqulina: Thanks! I am coming for a stay at the cabin soon. See you then!

Fabsies55: Thank-you. The town is just developing. I don't download RCI Buildings... I don't know why.

Thanks for replying. Update 2 Tomorrow Afternoon. Taking pictures at the moment. Including: Fruit Trees, the first cars (and gas stations), and new developments.

I like your layout and streets, nice work!

[My Username 0]

hey time!

looks like you'll be building a whole new civilization, eh?

everything looks nice and fresh, just as it should be!

those sandy roads really fit into the scenery, and i think that there should be a tree or two more(yes i know that they needed to cut down many), not much, just a few..

well everything put together looks great! i really like it.

hope to see a update soon, but take your time

REPLIES:

Manubeas: Thanks, so this IS my first good cj!

My Username: Thanks. Possibly. Right now some rescue copters are looking for them but they can't be found on Satellite. To get the dirt roads search SAM in the STEX.

I hope update 2 will be here within 2 hours. Thank-you for replying.

[TimeMaster 4]

Ok!! Update two is now here! So, banana trees, developments and the fishing boat dock. Also some gas stations have grew, so some sims can use cheap cars to drive to the other side of town if they need to.

An overview of the developed town.

The Easternmost side. Notice the dock (It is maxis sorry).

A closer overview.

The northwest part of town.

To the south. They have built another windmill.

The most far-western side of the village. Banana Trees!

This is a close up of the recently seeded and grown banana trees. This means a farmers market is coming!

This is a close up of new fishing dock. Some sims go out into the ocean to fish sometimes everyday, also it provides something sims can eat other than fruit and wheat... The biggest catch so far has been a Halibut.

I leave you with a night view of town.

Thanks!

Your town is growing well. I like the little access roads to the homes, I don't think I have ever seen that before. But what is with the texture of the dirt road near the ferry terminal?

Its the starter piece to the SAM dirt road, he doesn't really need it anymore now that he dragged the street out.

[timcravey 168]

Can we see an overview of the whole region, Time? To sorta give us our bearings.

I love the way you laid out the streets and fields - very quaint (in a good way)!

[jacqulina 162]

hiya my friend,sure i look forward to your visits to the cabin.the rural is loong fantastic i think some trees would really make these pics stand right out,very nice work.keep it up.

[fabsies55 5]

looks pretty good.

i reckon what you're trying to create is realistic and smart but it just doesn't work somehow.\

i don't know what it is exactly.

kool banana trees btw.

REPLIES:

Phoenix7: Thanks! Oops, I forgot to take the starter out, thanks for the notification.

Archean: Ok. I am having it taken out.

Timcravey: Thank-you! But there is nothing to see out there but water, and two islands in the same tile.

Jacquilina: Thanks! Hmmm, the trees aren't dense enough? That's Ok I can fix that.

Fabsies55: Thanks! What do you mean? It is definitly working! All of my others became inactive within two days... I know the banana trees are so cool. Lol.

[balkair 6]

great job!! Love the town!!

[TimeMaster 4]

Ok, Sorry for the holdup... And, Balkair: Thanks, I love all the compliments! Ok Here is the update. (3)

Ok, so the town has developed a little, but mostly just some new agricultural buildings.

Also, the people that it would be important to start on education early, so they built a little schoolhouse. And they also built some clinics.

Also, some coconut trees have been grown. Now this means farmers market, and...

Here it is! Now the people can get the most quality fish and fruit.

This is a picture of the sun beating down on the new gazebo.

I leave with the usual night overview.

See ya!

[jacqulina 162]

great looking farms there my friend

[TimeMaster 4]

REPLIES:

Jacqulina: Thanks! Do you like the trees now?

[fabsies55 5]

looks good but i still think you need more trees in and around your city.

nice update btw.

[dj's girl 0]

It looks good, but it could use some more work.

[TimeMaster 4]

REPLIES:

Fabsies55: Ok, I will more. Thanks.

Dj's Girl: Thanks, but what do you think it needs? It is just developing, it will probably look better by update 10.

[Theirishnintendonerd 13]

Nice start . I like the way its all rural. Keep up the good work

-Trevor

[TimeMaster 4]

REPLIES: Theirishnintendonerd: Thanks, I love making rural towns.

I am having a few computer problems. But I think that update 4 will here by tonight.

[jacqulina 162]

looking forward to that update my friend more trees please thankyou,what other sorts of trees do you have.

[Tia-may 0]

Wonderful pictures: perhaps it would be a good idea to do some work on the coast and perhaps make it better, if you wish to do so. Thanks!

[TimeMaster 4]

REPLIES:

Jacqulina: I use the normal trees, plus some ploppable tropical trees.

Tia-May: Thanks-you! And Yepatilla isn't really a resort town. In this update however than can get a shot, because the helicoptors found them.

Update 4!

An overview of the small town. There is a new development to the west.

This is a picture of the new development. See the new bus stations.

Sadly, the schoolhouse was outgrown, and had to be replaced. Also notice the new fire station, and hardware store.

I leave you with a close up of the hardware store and fire station.

[timcravey 168]

What are you using for water mod?

I love those SmallTown BATs.  Just like my hometown.

Glad the helicopters finally found them!
