Very nice work indeed! I don´t have IP installed, I don´t like very much how it looks but I like yours, are you going to test it as to know if everything from IP is working fine? I´ve read there are plenty of issues with IP and custom made worlds, if I would be sure to get all the IP facilities with a world like yours may be I change my mind and install IP, though I don´t know how much PC capability is consumming, I don´t want my game to lag...
I can play at last TS2 TS3 and TS4 So great that toddlers are here!!!

Well, I will say this. This world won't have uncharted islands which, at least for me, caused a lot of lag in my game. Second of all, I messed up, I started this world before we knew how to make dive lots in other worlds, and I can't make dive lots in this world because the sea level is too low. So how am I going to make up for it? there are going to be tombs. (I think three; two on the mainland, one on another island.) And this is going to have a large base camp, with some ruins, making this the PERFECT traveling. If you have traveler that is. So, to answer your question, I know that the features will work fine, because the only thing that's going to be there is all of the boat stuff which is completely optional, and, well, all of the decor.
So, what have I done for the past week? Well... islands. And lots of them. I think I'm done with Islands actually. I've created a cool lagoon with bright blue water. And the rest of the islands are VERY detached. Talk about desolation from the rest of the island. Perfect place for your loner sims.
Buildings that I've put in; Marketplace, Elixir Shop (Thank you to Krimsonnox for the lot! ), 3 houses, School, Stadium, 2 fishing spots.
Buildings that I've started but am not finished with; The lighthouse (this will be made into a Landmark Tomb), Exclusive lounge, Gym, Govenor's Mansion.
Buildings I still need to start; a bunch of houses (If someone could help me out on that, it would be fantastic), Art Gallery, Beach, a few of Ports, Tombs, Base camp, and dive bar.
This Island is the farthest away from the mainland
Sorry y'all! I've exceeded bandwidth on my photobucket account. I only have 3 days left until it resets, so just bear with me. I ain't paying more for unlimited bandwidth.
Instead of pictures, I have good news! I've figured out how to make dive lots in this world!! There will be 5+ dive lots (they are so fun to make! and they aren't even large file sizes), and they will all be in an Atlantis Theme. YAY!! Now there's a purpose to actually having mermaids in this world!
I'm also thinking about putting in empty dive lots, for the creative tendancies of the community! what would you all think of that?

hooray all around! and yes, empty dive lots! brilliant! <-- the only issue I have found with dive lots I have left empty in worlds is Sims still visit them autonomously and dive even without the dive buoy, but that isn't necessarily a big issue...
Excited for this world . I know you said you're going to use some store items or stuff packs possibly, so I was just curious to how much? I have only a few SPs.

Well, as I said Monte Vista is Required. I'm going to have the fountain of youth, and Wishing well, but those are in no way required. I may have the ruins from Dragon Valley, but that's it from there. I believe on of the builds requires the fence from Hidden Springs. I don't have Aurora Skies, I'm going to Use Barnacle Bay objects, including the ship diner, but everyone has Barnacle bay now! Lucky Palms doesn't match the theme.
The only Stuff Packs that I am going to use are Master Suite, and Outdoor Living. I'm going to use the Playground set from Town life in a couple of playgrounds, but that's it. The Only one that I truly think is going to make a big impact is Outdoor Living.
As for all the other store content, it's a crapshoot. I'm trying to cut down, but you never know. I promise there won't be TOO much content that it's game breaking for someone with just the EP's SP's and Worlds, but hey, I'm paying for this stuff for a reason, and half of the reason why I'm making this world is for myself anyways.

Niac, that's very well said and I agree completely. You are talented enough to build it and kind enough to share it; but ultimately you call the shots and don't need to feel pressured to accommodate anyone else.
[P.S.: I have never uploaded/shared any of my builds or sims because they are completely overloaded with cc, store content, etc. and I just don't want to deal with the hassle of identifying what's what and hearing people complain.]
I like the new IP world so far... I only play on the water, havn´t seen much from the islands yet. But ... Really love your world!! It´s a real beauty.
And YEAH, you will add dive lots!! That made my day. My sims are scuba addicts
Siren's Landing looks so much better than Isla Paradiso. Seems like all of my Monte Vista Sims will somehow migrate to this lush world, as they are tired of the hills and they are ready for some water action.
Can't wait for this amazing world, keep up the good work, and I'm pretty sure this will be more beautiful as you go along with it...
If it's not too much to ask, how many residential, community and empty lots (including the islands) are there in SIREN'S LANDING?

Hmmm... I haven't thought of it! I suppose I can fit it in somewhere!

Thank you! There is to be no modern in this world!!
Nilxis, I was definitely using your mediterranean worlds as inspiration for the lots with this.

Amazing update, niac! I think this may be my new favorite world. 8)
Thank you and Me neither!
Bookmarked this to wait... i love islands, looking forward to seeing what you made
