Bituminous Bassetboro

Beagleland was destroyed when Lord Hoagie's ego exploded.  The surviving sims sailed across the Beggin' Sea and founded Houndsylvania.  They foolishly elected (Lord) Hoagie E. Mellon as the first mayor of Bituminous Bassetboro.

The town proper sits halfway up Mount Kibble.

Water Bowl Lake and the Rabbit Scent Trail combine to form a national park in Houndsylvania.

There are bituminous coal mines that are the town's main employer (all owned by Baron Hoagie E. Mellon).  Baron Hoagie swears neither the mines nor ores are the town's namesakes.  Sims wonder, however.

Thanks to Water Bowl Lake, Bituminous Bassetboro hosts a water tower, despite its tiny population size.

On the west side of town, Rabbit Scent Trail begins.

I tried to kind of recreate a small mining town for the general look of this entry.  Mods include LK Appalachian terrain, SHK Brigandine 2.0 Water Mod and HD Rock Mod,  NAM, Peg's ponds, mmps. BATs by Matt325, Simmer2, Simgoober, Paeng, BSC Newman Mine, lots of mmps by giraffe, peg, simmer2, murimk, NBVC----------- so thanks to these modders x10000       

Thanks for visiting my CJ :)

Another lovely looking tile with some really nice MMP work in there. The only thing that I'm not overly fond of is the bottom waterfall. I think it would nicer broken up, like the rest of them!

Still it looks really nice!

Thanks, James.  Yeah, I'd thought about splitting up the bottom one but got lazy *:lol: I scrapped the old region because I installed the BRF slope mod for my roads and it messed up some pre-existing layout -- but the mod itself is too good not to use so I decided to create a new region, complete with absurd backstory :rofl:

Nice work, you got the scenery down to a T.  It's unfortunate to hear about the slope mod issues but as you know the resulting improvements are too good not to use it

For sure re: improvements of the slope mod-- thanks for the suggestion of it! I think it was extra quirky because of the steep hills etc I use but on the flipside, it forces me to think more about road and rail work.
