Show us your Farm Land!

[Henry Crun 75]

Hi @Simmer2! 

(I'm not sure if that is the correct way to reference your post. I didn't want to fill the page repeating your images)

Thanks for those fantastic artworks. They set a very high bar for me to get to!  I'm fairly new and investigating a fair bit to find a style that suits. As a Brit, I'm hoping to play the game with it looking somewhat like UK. So far, I've investigated NAM, SAM, NWM, RRW, RHW, REW, still getting to grips with MMP. I'm currently investigating what effect a Terrain Mod has and whether I have or need a tree controller. Perhaps I should change my handle to Kevin Turvey.

I appreciate as a creator it can rankle to see it not used to it's best! That was my first splash using them, the rest of the farms just use Maxis/Girafe trees for borders. Previously, I've used a mix of Pedmalls, @rsc204's Hedge Set and the late @SUICO's Farm Fences, trying to get a handle on the look and feel as well as the utility (Sims moving around). An example is from another test tile where the town is bumping up to the farms.

I will tidy up the walls, I promise! I have to admit, though, that I like some of the less than perfect joins. It looks like Derek, the junior farmhand, was a bit too keen backing the tractor out of the shed and knocked the wall out of line! I think he may be responsible for this bit, too! 

To you and all the creators I tip my hat and raise a glass in thanks for your imagination and effort. One day, I will post in a "Show us your railroad" thread my use of the Danforth, Victoria Park and Curzon Street stations. The latter is particularly interesting as the location and remains of it are a few miles from me.

Developing a response to @Simmer2 "Show us your Farmland!"

So, I added to the Mill Cove album some details of one of my favorite "farmland" simulations using the NHP Jacksonville map. Hooper Farms will be represented here; criteria as follows:

• Landscaping products grower (before Hooper Farms)
• Overview of Hooper Farms
• Entrance to Hooper Farms
• HF is next door to Rachel Leigh Stables
• Wholesalers to florist & plant nurseries
• Market garden sells produce at local farmer's market
• Sells produce to restaurants & caterers
• Wines & champagne private label vineyard
• The Hooper Homestead
• The superintendent's house
• The old barn
• Brody's General Store

Some of the streets are labeled, you should recognize these names referenced from an old movie and a TV show from the '60s.

A farm I don't recall ever seeing on the forum- a cranberry bog.

I found a 3rd Winery that goes along with this but too big and will have to put somewhere else

Farm land surrounding a medium sized town with a small town nearby and some little villages interspersed:

These are along the north edge of the world. It's called SimNation, but even in the region view there is only a gridded blue area.

Some farmhouses along a former main route in Erlengrund, Maxiland. I'm sometimes making the farms on my own, with many lots from SPAM and custom relots, and most of the fields themselves are just crops, no barns along with them. Sort of a teaser of what's coming up.
