Im starting a new series called Santia Marina. It's a tropical island chain series featuring lovely beaches and hotels and landscape. This is not replacing Manamorda.

Great! I loved that little intro music.

So here's my 2 cents on the project (for what it's worth).

-I think you should work on terraforming your island, so that the housing areas look smooth and more pleasing.
-If you want to make your beach larger, you can use this mod:

- You have 2 great beach mods, depending on the color you want to have for your beaches:

- Depending on the type of region you want to recreate (Caribbean, Southeast Asia, Indian Ocean, African coast, South Pacific, etc) you might want to add more variety to your buildings.

For a more latin/carribean-themed region, you can use LBT content (huuuuge collection by LBT Team, Heblem, Hableurg, DebussyMan, Elegost, TCX, Erjolog, VicGon), Brazilian houses and shops by Maloskero (https://community.simtropolis.com/profile/297147-maloskero/content/?type=downloads_file) and Latin-style housing by Wallibuk (the last set in the link also has lots of African-themed buildings)

,

 

-If you want something that looks like a South-east Asian city, you can download Thai buildings by nihonkaranws

- For tropical -looking resorts and villages, you can also use KHRYSTOF lots that use Colyn (CSX) props

-Regarding the roads, I'm not a huge fan of standard Maxis roads because they look too neat and also have a default sidewalk. Most islands have roads with no sidewalk due to the low population density and/or lack of adequate funding for infrastructures. You could add some sand/gravel roads or add some streets, using the Street Addon Mod. You have many options to replace the existing Maxis streets like this one:

To add more variety of flora to your beaches and forest, you can add the following mods

Finally, I believe you can directly include your youtube video on the forum, that will prevent you from using a link that redirects the readers to youtube.

In any case, it looks promising, I can't wait to see more! Good luck!
