Description: Boardwalks are a transition point between human development on land and nature's possession of the sea. As such, they attract tourist and local alike and are unique in what they can offer due to the access they have to the water. But for those who stay off the waves and above the surface, there is something for you, too - a cold refreshment on a hot summer day or a funny T-shirt with the name of the beach on it. Or, just stroll the boardwalk and take it all in. There's something for everyone. There are four BATs included, with both growable and ploppable versions: - Zombie Shark Surf Shop: a fictional surfing supply shop where Sims can buy or rent a board and go surfing, or get a Zombie Shark T-shirt and pretend they do. - Simtropolis Dive Association: a fictional SCUBA store and tour outfit, prepared to whisk the inexperienced into their classes and the veteran divers to the coolest reefs, wreck sites, and marine sanctuaries. - Mom & Pop Souvenir Shop: A fictional, generic place to find souvenirs, because there are few things quite as charming as buying expensive merchandise from a delightful old local couple instead of the chain retail store that offers the same thing at half the price. - Rita's: (Not fictional) A common find on the Jersey shore, this Bensalem, Pennsylvania based company claims it has the "coolest treats on the beach." Stats: Plop Cost (Bulldoze): 4400 (440) Jobs: 16-26 (varies) Wealth: Medium Growth Stage: 2 Lot Size: 1x2 each Power Consumed: 4 Water Consumed: 7 Pollution: 1/1/7/0 @ 2/2/0/0 Dependencies: None -

Description: The islands of the Pacific are dotted with the wrecks of the major players in World War II. The rusted monuments to global conflict have now become spots where tourists and history buffs attempt to catch a glimpse at an ill fated vessel or vehicle. SCUBA divers in particular aim to dive the Western Pacific to see these sites first hand. There are four lots: - Sherman Tank (beached) - Sherman Tank (submerged) - Japanese Zero (submerged) - Obelisk of Peace (submerged) Inspired by similar sites on Saipan and Guam. Stats: Plop cost (bulldoze): varies Lot size: varies Landmark Effect: 19 over 44 Mayor Rating Effect: 44 over 256 Pollution: 0/1/0/0 @ 0/1/0/0 (due to slow fluid leaks) Power consumed: 0 Water consumed: 0 Dependencies: None. Disclaimer: was work in progress until I screwed up gmax, so not what I'd hoped but trying to rescue what I already did do here. Hopefully enough for you to enjoy! -
Welcome back to Argolis! Thanks James and Schulmanator! Maybe we'll hit more airport shots sometime soon. And heres some new stuff, not really sure if its my jam quite yet. Last weekend I took a trip up the coast of California to do some Abalone diving. From where we parked at the trailhead off Hwy 1 we had a 2 mile hike up a bit of the coast on rocks like this. The tide was way out so it was perfect to get really far off the cove and get some of the deeper abs. Going out to the dive site wasn't too terrible. But in a wet wetsuit and booties, the rocks really started taking a toll on the way back, and the weight belt didn't seem to help either. So I wanted to add a bit of this excellent coastline to my region. This was my first experience with MMPs and it took me several attempts to make something that looked decent to me. So here up on the northern side of the tile we have the trailhead. This just comes off of a stretch of RHW-3 that runs along the coast. I may reduce that to RHW-2 some day, I'll have to decide when I build the interchange a couple tiles over. This is the main stretch of the beach. Theres about half a mile south and a mile north that extends to Moat Creek. Moat Creek has only received the rock treatment like this, I haven't gotten around to developing the rest of the riverbed yet. A little zoom in to where everyone is diving at. The terrain has gotten a bit more rough and you can see the seagrass in the shallow water. If you're interested, heres a GoPro gif of what I wanted the terrain to look like. DescriptiveLiveIrukandjijellyfish And zoom in a wee bit more and you can see the divers here. They're not supposed to be scuba divers but thats all I had in my plugins folder. Lots of wildlife here! Of course you have to show off what you catch. Meat removed, banana for scale. Thats all for now. Besides this, all I've been doing is some low density zoning so not too much to show there. Development of the suburbia area is going as planned. Thanks for visiting!
