Step by step.

Lost Realist

Alrighty, I've been productive today and up right now is a picture-heavy update! And that's a good thing, since looking at stuff is always fun, is it not?

One tile west of Point that I showed you in the last update I started with the terraformed and treed area looking like this:

Ahh, nature at its finest. But nature must bow once again, we people need some roadways:

So that's the basic road layout for the northern part of this tile that I baptized "Sears County". I usually do it this way, placing main roadways first and then letting villages and cities develop along them. Also tried to make this as un-griddy as I could - placing all the smooth street curves into those hillsides took freaking ages. And then I started messing around and turned them into SAM streets later on, so I effectively had to do all of it again... oh god.

But hey, some hours later, Sears village lies in full bloom:

And because why the hell not, some closer looks at it:

Yes, mattb325 is amazing.

And this CJ would be jack bollocks if it weren't for his wunderful lots.

So to finish it all up and establish some context for Sears again, here is another overview after everything I did today:

Thanks for stopping by!

Also thanks to everyone who commented or will comment at some point, be it good or critical, I'm up for anything. And thanks to all the people who "inspire" me if you will, wether they know it or not, there are a lot of them.

More to come sooner than later! I'll hop in a train and go on a ride tomorrow, so there won't be too much time for content, but there is a sunday and university is going to be rather bearable on me next week; I'm amped to find more time for my little thing I got going here. :)

what's the name of your terrain mod dude?

I'd have to be completely mistaken if it isn't the Columbus Terrain Mod. I have switched to the Olympic Terrain Mod since though, so you won't see this one in any future updates.
