[MrCinatit 30]

quite nice to see you back, goldiva - and back with quite a punch. looks like you bring some goodies for us terraforming freaks...VERY nice.

[Mexicanboy13r 12]

Wow! that is great! Everything looks very nice!.. The palm trees do need a little more help. I think. But hey that's just me. They look great anyways!

 

Great work!

[JayStimson 211]

and ...

[GingerBlokey 30]

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

I saw this title back up at the top of the Thread and thought, oh somebody's just bumped the thread asking if Goldiva will ever come back. Then when i clicked on page 5 to check I saw all the comments from today. I couln't believe it when I got to page 4. My prayers were answered. Welcome Back!

[goldiva 86]

Thank you all for making me feel so welcomed. More teaser pics...

Love & Joy = the best revenge against bigotry

[hogmeister 7]

You certainly haven

[goldiva 86]

Hey hogmeister, glad you're teased. Makes the photo sessions all worthwhile... You have no idea how long it took to get those reef sea shots. Those unbecoming boats take a million years to move into frame at the same time!

[hogmeister 7]

It's all a matter of timing, lol, great work, many thanks for sharing.

[mrbisonm 1,620]

Great to have you back! I just love your *stuff*

[jeronij 13]

Hi Goldiva,

nice to see a so great BAT creator back !!!. I see also that there is a great tropical set coming. Looks amazing [:0]. Will the reefs and rocks be plopable ?

[tanpinquan 0]

I would really like to know how the reefs work too.

Welcome back. I don't post much but your name cought my attention in the donations list and I wondered.

[Mexicanboy13r 12]

Wow!!... I can't wait! This does look amazing!. keep showing us more teasers. It makes me more happy.

[Superstar 69]

Wow goldiva! Didn't see you come back here! Havn't seen you in a real long time! All your work as always is looking great

[fosterk 4]

Banana and palm plantations...

'Love & Joy = the best revenge against bigotry'

Reminds me of Tropico

[GaryReggae 80]

Wow, that plantation looks superb!

[SpartanBadger 4]

I love it all! Looks great, I think these are things we could definitely have more of in the game. I will be looking forward to more of your work!

 

Reminds me of Saint Lucia

[Lord_Bertrum 3]

Goldiva, using a dirt road Modd really makes your last screen shot look like its somewhere in South America.

[goldiva 86]

Thanks for the positivity!

 

I finally launched these new stuff in two packs:

 

GDV Mayor Mode Tropical Tree Set

- coconut tree single

- coconut group of 3

- coconut tree over water

- oil palm tree

- banana tree

- mangrove [water-enabled]

 

GDV Mayor Mode Tropical Sea Set [all water enabled]

- 4 boats: sail, speedboat, kayak orange, kayak blue

- reef [looks different all 4 angles]

- rocks

 

Go download and make some tropical diving resorts!

 

And yes - all above are mayor mode tree PLOPS. So the mayors can now plant coconut trees in unsuspecting sims's backyard lol. User-made canals and streams and lakes should get busy with parked boats...?

 

Jeroni: actually it's your request for a mayor tree plop tutorial, and andreas' response that led me to finally getting down to BATting some tropical trees. I also found cycledogg's stunning CPT trees very inspiring. Took me awhile to work out how their mods work but I got there. In the process of poking around the Reader I also accidently discovered a water property which made plopping these trees on water a possibility... and btw your embankment sets are really cool. Saw them in some CJs and was wowed.

 

Lord Bertrum: South American looking indeed. The tropical forest visual is actually based on South East Asian, where I am [singapore]. Brazil and Malaysia do have similar vegetation. The reef looks is based on Aussie great barrrier reefs though.... And you can find tropical vegetation in New Zealand too...

 

tanpinquan: Yep the reefs can be sprayed under water or on land...

 

And thanks again everyone for popping up to say hi.

 

Have fun...

[Glenni 1,444]

[underworld 129]

Awesome work!!!

 

*Starts to drool all over his t-shirt*

[bevanl 6]

Yay, Simcity 4 looks more natural then ever before, thanks a lot Goldiva!

[Andreas Roth 607]

@Goldiva: Wow, I'm speechless (but that's not exactly the reason why I post this so late )! First of all, welcome back, and you really managed to come back with a big hit. The tropical flora looks awesome, as well as the beach and laguna stuff. The diagonal piers are great in particular.

[jacqulina 162]

hi i hope these pics will be usefull i have made sure to include them with the background so you can judge the size there is also different colours which some of them  would probably look nice as smaller rocks
