Alright! Here we go...this might be the last big update before release!! (YES!!! )
EDIT: Hoo-rah! A seventh page
February 10, 2013
-I got quite a bit of work done this weekend! I placed almost all of the fish spawners, I got a a few new final houses started, I got a couple parks done, I got the stadium lot done, I placed some more trees, did a little routing painting, fixed some sculpting, added some sidewalks, fixed some errors on some lots, finished the town hall buildings, and placed some more lots for building! Getting close to the end...feels great!
Now on to some pictures!
...That's all! Let me know what you guys think!
Verbal update (Will have a ton of new pictures tomorrow night!):
I have begun to place spawners finally!! (Ocean fish almost all done...just need to make a lot or two in the countryside that holds lake fish.) Then the rest of the spawners. I have also begun to paint the terrain with routing paint. (Which is a long booooring process. :roll: ) I also built a few new lots, as well as continued on the strip mall. The lots are a huge new Asian modern American style mansion... lol Also a look out point. And a few more community lots and a couple orchard farms. And some other unimportant stuff, but this world is getting so close to being done! I am pretty excited! Also I have been working with an awesome simmer who is making me a bunch of families for when I release the populated version of the world! I will have to get some links up, so you guys can check them out. This is all for now, tomorrow I hope to get a bunch of more progress done and some pictures to show what's been going on!
January 19, 2013:
World is all done except for only about three more cosmetic issues on my list and placing all spawners. Then I will test one more time and upload.
December 30, 2012:
The city is really coming together! I placed more houses in the rich district, and it is complete besides the unfurnished homes. I began work on the new stadium area. I placed three tropical beach houses in front of the city. The city is getting landscaped finally, and I have placed all the parks in the city except for one, and I only need one more house in the city. The only thing left after all that is a little more terrain paintings, spawners, and the countryside.
______December 28, 2012 UPDATE: Redid one area and made it made for seasons and really ritzy houses! Also placing some trees and plants around the world to make it complete.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Finally began work on countryside, got Elle's awesome house places, one of mine started to build, and redid the exterior of a game one. It's not turning out too bad, I'll be eager to work on it again soon.
Huge thanks to Chrisw9 for the detailed testing and great help
Testing version 1-August 8, 2012. Tropica Test Version 1 http://www.mediafire.com/?gci8vok7vq6a6l1
MORE INFO COMING SOON!
August 8
Oh and this seems like maybe it would look better if I tweaked the weather to more cloudy and foggy seems like a vampire/wolf place with all the for trees
I got the big hills painted and trees places still have plants and rocks to place on them yet. Started work on a few builds. Got the old part of town almost laid out completely (it is going to be getting revitalized, so you'll have some fixer uppers when you download this)
-this is mainly just a few pictures to show how much the landscape as changed now.
-Also I took the suspension bridge out for good, I felt it made the area seem to crowded and was not necessary for the island since it is all connected.
August 7, 2012 (4:05 in the morning... *yawns*)
Okay guys, this is a huge update. I completely ddeleted the city and started fresh. I built it up, and there will be a story why later besides looking cool. I'll post more tomorrow but I just wanted to get some of the main pictures up to show it off.
Here is a before picture:
And AFTER!!
edit: It is not done yet, as there will be a few more high rises, parks, etc.
also the suspension bridge will return soon!
Okay, it's August 5 (but will be 6 in an hour so let's call it the 6th )
August 6, 2012--Salty Shores Distrct update.
Here are some pics of the diner/coffee shop/whatever it is called:
--edit: need to conform this lot ^
And just some other random pictures of Salty Shores (got some landscaping done):
Another large update.
August 4, 2012
Got a small park, spa and bookstore, house placed, and a movie theatre and grocery store all where they will be, it will be known as the small Beach District of Salty Shores. Thinking about getting barnacle bay just because I think that boat restaurant would look really cool down by the shore. Also with the whole swimming in the ocean I am getting pretty excited as this town will be perfect for that! I am thinking about placing a mysterious island that your sims will swim to to explore.
Also I am needing some community lots and parks so if you are interested let me know. And if anyone who has a lot of experience with CAW could assist me on planning out the city (which needs to be completely redone) let me know.
Here are some Salty Shores pictures (I also added a mountain type thing in the back, it was getting to flat and I needed to add it back, since it is a rather rocky world.):
Some other pictures of progress:
This will be the old countryside with orchards and old homes that will be getting fixed up, fixed up, or need fixed up...plus cemetary, junkyard, criminal place, and all that.
Alright, here we go!! August 3rd 2012--TROPICA Update
--I will also post this below in case others zoom past this first post.
Just a random billboard in the poorer part of town. (still have a lot of terrain painting work to do yet too..)
Here are the starters! Let me know what you guys think, I never build them.
Starter 1 (we'll call it)
Starter 2
Starter 3
Starter 4
Some zoomed out views (the other lots are no longer there, just the starters!
Here is a mansion in the rich district I am working on, I really like how it is turning out.
That is all for right now, let me know what you guys think. Hopefully another update will be out soon.

It's going to be nice to see pictures when you've started to add the vegetation, I really like the modern architecture and (probably?) tropical nature combination you've got there.
EDIT: You also might want to shorten the title of your thread. Sometimes that "breaks" the thread - stops people from posting. I got the 404 error when trying to leave this reply, until I shortened the title of my own post
glad your back

Yeah, someone pointed out to me that the other one was broken so I just moved it all to here. That would be a good idea, I should go back and change that!
Also this is for anyone, I really need some help laying out the city and figuring out hwo to change road textures.

-Also I need to get started on the city, it needs to be all relayed and planned out
Thanks!
And a verbal update:
I got the coffeeshop rabbithole built, got some trees places, a little terrain painting (still needs work) and a couple random objects placed for salty shores, also I began work on a performance stage down on the beach.
I'll upload pics tonight but here is one to give you a general view of Salty Shores as of right now.
edit: that beach needs a lot of work on the slope downto the shire lol

Well thanks!
Hi
The roads I do need to go back and fix, I've been working on the left wing of the world so the city and right wing have been untouched, and yes that dang city. haha I am planning on deleting it all and regridding it out and starting fresh! And I am trying to get the vegetation and terrain painting exceptional looking! It's hard but worth it. I love the modern architecture too, it really brings the world together because I just think tropical and modern go great together
and thanks for the tip, it will come in handy in the future!
Great to be back!
quick picture. Plan on having a trail to walk/bike/jog on
Thanks! And keep up the good work, I frequently check your thread
Thanks!
And means a lot to know I have people following along with the progress!
