Smallville : Agricola

1.Agriculture is still a vibrant economic part of Smalville's economy. In an alluvial plain, the earth is fertile, and once the temperamental rivers and the swamps had been tamed, Smallville became the bread basket of the Eden region.

2.The Country Fair is a year long tourist attraction

5. Smallville is very proud of its big and very efficient water treatment system.

6. However, some farms are being slowly caught up by the creeping urbanization :

7. The local beer, the Zabnis (surprise !), made from for local hops, is quite good -- and high in alcohol content. P. R. had some problems with that...

13. The Local Food Movement is very much alive in Smallville.That's Peter Nagy's Farm, the main producer of artisanal cheese in the region.

It's quite neat how you blend in farming with housing and wood lots/forest area and I like how you have farms on rolling hills. In image 7, that little path the runs in between the farms, is that a lot? or did you make that using a sand/gravel mmp?

Thank you. I'd like more farms to be slope-friendly...The path is Paeng's Dirt Tracks ; they're not as detailed as the file they aim to replace -- JS Dirt Paths, which look great and are more varied but suffer from the Water Bug ; Paeng's don't:-) (you'll need ALN Dirt path textures.dat. though.)

Nice patchwork of farmland countryside with some lovely detailed rural life reserves, well done !

I agree with "takemethere" --

Very nice job of blending the AG, the RES, and the wilderness. 

I, too, gave up on "JS Dirt Paths.  Didn't know Paeng had them.

You don't get as much realistic variety but they're serviceable --and highly paintable (I mean, MMP-able:-). I wish someone would redo ALL JS paths, though...

Nice update! However, you could stand to smoothen out that road in pictures 12 and 14 with a slope mod.

Yep. I used to use ennedi's but for some reason I don't quite remember, I took it out. Maybe I didn't now how to configure it. Any advice ?

@tariely You just have to use one version of the slope mod, be it mountain, medium, or smooth. I use the mountain version of his slope mod, even though my region is pretty flat. It just works best and is least frustrating.

I'm sorry, I can't find it ! I know it 's a Grow (I thought perhaps TTC, the Tea Cat but...) The custom content folder for that city has been dismantled a long time ago (I didn't keep a pict of my folders, then. Now I know better...) You might  find it on the LEX (by categories).
