Aantalia - A Mediterranean city: Rough BETA Version Up!

Welcome to Aantalia! I now have four WIP worlds, but am planning to finish this one before working on the others. The reason is that I have simply fallen in love with this world more than the others! The vibrant colors of the downtown stand in sharp contrast to the pale yellow desert sand. The luxurious homes near the inland oasis are the ideal place for wealthy sims to sit back and relax. The bright, glimmering turquoise waters of the bay make for a gorgeous backdrop to the city. Finally, a large, age-old palace stands in stoic vigil upon a rock cliff jutting out into the ocean. Check back occasionally for updates, though, and please leave feedback. Thanks! :D

Best images collection; pics that really give you a feel for the town as a whole, vs. more specific updates:

NEW Update 5/29/11

This update includes:

An adorable victorian by the sea, tragically trapped among highrises.

New details to the fairgrounds.

Streetlights! Thus night pictures.

The trees are done! Aantalia helps fight global warming. :P

Some new ugly highrises in the industrial district.

A new suburban home along with some cute beach townhomes.

I'm going to put the release date for beta as being approximately one month from now. I'm going for a two week trip starting July 4th, and I'm hoping to finish the first version of it before then. Naturally there will be glitches at first, but those will get fixed with later versions.

To see more pictures of Aantalia, check out some of the later pages; there you'll find some images of the other houses and lots around the town as well as earlier pictures. Thanks for looking! :D

    Love what you've done, the colors are so cheerful! One of the men in my painting class vacations regularly in the Mediteranean and paints the towns. Very vibrant colors.

    Will keep an eye on this.

    Wow, thanks for this awesome response so far, everybody! The world will be entirely CC, mod, and store free. It won't require any stuff packs, but will need Ambitions, WA, and LN.

    Thanks, all!

    Smoogie - umm... thank you! :D

    I've been sick the past few days, so I haven't been able to play, and tomorrow there's supposed to be a gigantic blizzard by me, so there's a chance I'll lose power. However, if I don't, there'll be plenty of time to play since my school called a snowday even before the snow is here!

    You must live here in the Midwest. I'm in Missouri and the blizzard has started - actually the ice storm part of it, started around 3 this AM. Now, we're in the snow part - 2 feet expected. :shock: Good times! Like you, hoping the electric doesn't go off.
    Glad you're feeling better and hope you get to play today. Keep warm!
