New Desert World (Need lot builders please!)

I'm nearing completion of a new world but need some lot builders. The world has custom lighting and water colors, a new saguaro cactus which works like any other tree and some recolors and remodels of existing plants and rocks which are not overrides.

The world won't require store content/worlds and will be totally basegame compatible.

Please message me if you could supply a lot for me. I'm looking for something maxis/ea themed which is base game only. Thanks :wink:

    Hey, I have plenty of lots to choose from! All are base game friendly, except one that requires diesel... please feel free to use any of them, I will just ask that you tell me when you release the world. I would also just ask that you put my name under your world description for the lot credit. If you would like to use any of my houses please just let me know...bookmarked cuz your world looks great! I have some worlds too :mrgreen: And how is the sky so light blue? Did you do anything to it or was that the way it was?

    Looks good so far, I like the terrain painting. You may have more luck if you post in Creative Corner also. :D

    Thanks SimExpertJared I'll take a look at them when I get chance :D

    @Nilxis if you want any plants let me know and I'll share them seperately as they are currently merged with the world file.

    Here's some pics of the test world as of today ...

    That would be great! I'm sure I'll use them in future worlds :D

    Wow! It looks great! I haven't got any lots up at the moment apart from two I made last year which are quite frankly, cringe-worthy.

    What architectural style are you going for? If you give me some lot sizes I could do residential and community lots if you'd like :)

    Thanks ThomsonJamie I really appreciate it. Typical lot sizes are 30x40, 20x30, 30x30, 30x40 and 60x60.

    The 60x60s will be modern desert houses like those in lucky palms while the lower portion of town will have smaller 50's styled houses, some modern and some traditional.


    I'll upload the plants when the world is final as they havent been tested fully and they'll need to be updated for seasons no doubt :roll:

    Hehe thanks! I'll make you one if you'd like? :) I make my own on photoshop and fireworks.

    Great! I'll get to work straight away! (I'm waiting until I get supernatural before I finish my own world :lol:)

    I'll probably be going for this style in the modern buildings:

    And something like these for the cheap 50's styled homes:

    .. If those are okay :)

    Do you need rabbithole lots too? It would be great if you could send me your street base and sidewalk textures, so I can match the paving and/or parking spaces on bigger lots :)

    @ThomsonJamie

    Those are exaclty what I want!

    I'll be doing the rabbit hole lots myself because they'll be recolors

    Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. :D

    Here's the road textures. All other textures are the originals.

    Thanks! I have lots of plans drawn out now, excited to get started tomorrow as it's now rather late here in the UK :lol:

    So I should use base game objects only?

    And now that you mention it, I can see the recolored diner sign in those screenshots! It looks groovy :3

    OMG I LOVE IT! It looks great seriously, as do your new trees. I'm nearly finished one of my celebrity houses but it's so hard to only use base game stuff! :lol:

    I really can not wait for this to be released!

    PS The logo is awesome.

    @SimExpertJared - Thanks but I wont need one just yet. Maybe when the world looks a bit more complete lol.

    @Giddyin - Yeah there's a few scattered around. Most of them are community lots though.

    @ThomsonJamie - Really appreciate it and yeah I agree it's a nightmare :P

    My goal is for november after seasons is out. I've made a custom flyover today so things are looking good :mrgreen:

    Couldn't post without leaving a pic for you all. Sorry it's nothing special :lol:

    Aaron, I've been working on the lot, but I get an error every time I try to use the "share" function in game. Do you know a way around this?
    I also need some help with a tree if that's okay, I'll send you a message :)

    Just an idea. If you like horses and it is a desert why not add an Arabian herd. They live in the deserts of Arabia. Well since we are there why not add Arabian clothing and Nomadic People (Homeless people that live in caravans. Let me know what you think. :)
