Hi Friends, I have made some progress with the Bald City. Covering fairly large city tile with MMPs is taking even longer than I thought it would, and I keep distracting myself by adding things that I don't need to that serve to make everything much more complicated. Perhaps more on that in a future update. Today I present to you just a few pictures. The beach / dunes and the start of the ambitious MMP river. I hope you enjoy. If you have any tips or ideas, please comment below. 1. The very edge of the tile, beach and dunes. If you don't like this picture you probably shouldn't bother scrolling further to be honest. We have a lot of beach and dunes. 2. I assume the crane is lifting some pipes to an area out of shot. I plopped it thinking it would be a big brown box (there are a few MMP big brown boxes that continue to bamboozle me). Once it wasn't a big brown box, I thought I'd let it continue to crane. It's not hurting anyone after all. To be honest I would like more construction type lots, it's something I have never really downloaded. I think I remember having a giant skyscraper foundation once, but something more mundane, (new homes under construction, road work, laying gas pipes) would probably suit my current style more. 3. A wide shot because I love these houses so much that I wanted to get them in the picture. I'm trying to focus on building nature and 'unbalding' the tile, but these things deserve to be seen more. 4. A second wider zoom showing us the area to the east of the houses shown in 3. 5. a dash of beach, a slosh of dune, a hint of seawall. I've had this set of retaining walls in my plugins folder forever, but it looks particularly at home here I think. 6. A bit more beach and a bit more dunes. 7. Important question: What does one plop on top of a sea wall such as this? I want a nice path my sims can wander down, but everything I tried looked far too manicured (to be fair, most of them were 'parks'). If you have any ideas for something that my sims could stroll along, I would appreciate it. 8. I managed to use the notorious JRP river gate pieces and combine them with the JRP suburban canal pieces and bit of a ugly hack at the LOT editor to get this, the transition between my MMP river and the game water. I'm quite pleased with it, a number of people helped with this picture. I have already shouted them out over in the "Show us what you're working on" thread and it seems rude to summon them here, but they know who they are! 9. Finally the area behind the 'river gate' / sluice affair. I've tried to create a sort of floodplain, but I think to be honest it's all a bit squished in here because the terrain in this region is actually reasonably hilly, and this kind of area makes sense on flat ground. To avoid massive cliffs each side I've had to keep this area reasonably compact. Join us next time as we travel further up the MMP river towards the bald campsite. (That's a campsite with no trees, not a campsite specifically for the bald).

Replies: @ggamgus: Lol. Yeah Antarctican democracies don't make sense so I suppose it will have to be a dictatorship. @Blakeway: @dubaidude303: Thanks man! @TowerDude: -Insert Trollface- @Mastof: YAY! ^-^ @111222333444: Yup Carl! Lol. Dose greenhouse gases D: @Hazani Pratama: Thanks man! @NMUSpidey: TAKE THAT BLAKEWAY! Lol. Yeah I love Sci-Fi! @TekindusT: I sure hope so ^-^ Quick Note: So were you expecting Antarctica? Lol, NOT TODAY BOYZ. Actually I'm still working on it, but first update should be out soon. Anyways, today we have Masel, Atlantsia. The marina of it that is. Embassies Part 1+Around the CBD will be coming soon, so stay on the lookout for that . BTW, for some reason my automata is messed up at further zooms, not sure why. There are still some cars visible from these zooms, but much less than when I zoom in. Without further ado, here is the update: The Marina at Masel, formally known as the Masel Bay Marina, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the city for avid boaters. The Marina is lined by large condomoniums and hotels. Rental centers for yacht and speedboat rentals are open 12 hours a day starting at 7:00 A.M. Along with the many residential estates, a large variety of restaurants, diners, clubs, theatres, and other attractions bring the marina to life at night. The Sierra Complex is a cruise ship port, located half a mile from the marina. The Antebairah Hotel located Jebel Barudekh Ave. is the most popular hotel in the marina district. That's all for today! Ciao guys . Comments and ratings are always appreciated Psst, Fox. Foxy, that grey building next to the triangular blue building in the marina pictures is your embassy. Just lettin' y'know!
