Development of Newport Harbor - Part 2

Draft Prepared by: Wreckingball Man

Item 1

A few more mods/plugins were added to add some more detail and realism.

Item 2

A list of demands was developed:

  • Decide on the water mod
  • Decide on the beach texture
  • More detailed ground and blank space (nature items)
  • Replace maxis trees
  • PEG farms and lots
  • Marine Naval base lots
  • Demolish center island in port
  • Achieve road access to the Port lots so they will function
  • Transition to RHW (likely won't see this for a while)
  • Build power plants
  • Parking Lots

C/N

Several other cities are also in development. This port city is the big project and the most time consuming. Additional Resources and Suggestions are desired.

Couple more suggestions for when your taking your images.

 

Always try to remember to turn off the grid (hotkey G).

 

There is a mod that will remove the yellow pause ring that boarders the image, or you can just let the game play in turtle speed while you take the snap shot.

 

Plus you can minimize the UI by selecting the little minimize square at the bottom left of the UI menu. 

 

Also remove the UDI zots that float around. Just go to the Sims menu options to turn them off.

 

This is reduce the distractions clouding up your images. 

 

You keep searching the water mods, you're bound to find one that fits your region perfectly. Especially when you mix that with a preferred rock, cliff, &/or beach mod.

Yeah, best you have the grid on the game off, to maximize aesthetic quality :) But other than that,it's pretty good. But IMO, I'm still not so much a fan of the water mod you're using. For a port/harbor, I'd suggest something a little more blue/green with less saturation. Try some of drunkapple's water mods, they're really good for this kind of CJ, and there's a wide variety of color options too. And maybe adding a more vivid tree variety? ;) Other than that, still a really great looking :p
