    A re-write in the storyline of Lord Admiral Francis Notchcliff has changed the way the worlds I am creating are to be released. Without giving much away... As the Lord Admiral leaves Notchcliff Isles he will be faced with several challenges and will bring him to a haunted world. So I would like to introduce you to..........

      This was initially going to be a CC version of Portaloosa falls. I have decided to create a whole new world instead. I want to give a special thank you to Ablueidgirl2 for her permission to use a part of her story for widow's island http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/717211.page and the lot as well.

      World size - 1024 x 1024
      REQUIRES MIDNIGHT HOLLOW, Grim's Manor, no other CC will be used (hopefully).

      Update Thread...

      The second chapter of the story of Lord Admiral Francis Notchcliff is available (it is a bit longer than the first story) here....

      Chapter 2 - The Storm

      I hope you enjoy reading.

      Update 2....
      The lite version of Berwyn is now ready

      From My Studio
      Berwyn Heights Lite

      Update 3....


      Final Version available from my studio if anyone is interested

      Thanks.... I have been working the storyline for a while and I came across another story that will help bridge the gaps I had. Ablueidgirl2 has written a wonderful story about her lot Widow's Island http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/717211.page and the writer's block I was suffering had been demolished. I know now how to get the Lord Admiral away from ending up in moonlight Falls as I had originally planned.

      Well the main layout of the world is complete and now comes the fun part of landscaping and adding the final details. So far there will be 9 empty lots, and 4 undecorated dive lots (I don't have enough practice yet at these). here is the progress so far....

      Just ran an initial in game test and so far things are looking pretty good just a few minor things to correct, but still have a ways to go before this one is ready for beta testing

      Have completed the "Digsite" criminal dive bar. At first this was going to be a tomb but because of the size of the lot and its proximity to Lost Rigger Cove I thought it would better serve as the bar. here is the lot....

      Hi flstrider! Just want to say that this is beautiful work and I love the colors I am seeing here. :D

      Thank you Reachsims it is always good to have feedback on a project and I am glad to hear that I am on the right track with this world. Yes I did get a lot done on my "break" but I am really glad that break is over so progress on this world will be slowed down quite a bit.

      Thank you ... it was interesting that this height map I used came from an internet search and was designed for a completely different world creation program. when I originally opened it up in CAW and saw this area it was a no-brainer as to what would be placed there. I am finding it to be a fun personal challenge to find these "Non-CAW" generated heightmaps and working them into CAW.

      thank you so much...the pictures do not give that second set of falls justice may have to shoot a quick video of them for the effect to really be seen I think it turned out rather well when it is running.

      Love it, love it, love it!

      It looks fantastic so far. Will you be in need of a cemetery? I'm working on a 64x64 cemetery currently (using the Grim's Door :D ). Still need to finish and test it out though.

      The funeral parlor

      I need to get shots of the cemetery though. See if I can't post some this afternoon.

      Thanks Abigail Duler (take out one "a" and your screen name is there, the original architect of widows island). I am using the graveyard from midnight hollow for this one but I have started to draw up plans for another world and this will fit in quite nicely. Love the funeral parlor it is awesome.
