    Strange... did you use the cheat placefriezies on?
    if yes, maybe, you forgot to deactivate it (placefriezes off)If it is active, your not able to create fountains or pools.. (but maybe i'm wrong...)


    Anyway,
    I finished your 3 houses today (2x 15x15 and 1x 20x20)

    House 1 (15x15)

    House 2 (20x20)

    And finally House 3 (15x15)

    All of my houses are CC-free... (I don't like CCs...):)

    I think that I'll put them on the outskirts of town next to a little oasis or some sort of water.

    Okay it took me a looong time to fix the fountains, but now I'm back on track!

    I'm downloading your wonderful contributions right now and hopefully within the next two or three days I'll be able to import them to the world

    Ugh for two hours I've been trying to build the palace, but I'm back to the drawing board yet again...

    Don't laugh at how small the most recent update is. The palace is taking long because I won't accept anything less than perfection on it. Even the insides of the building in the picture aren't finished.

    The sultan's palace is finished! The entire complex, however, still needs a City Hall, Museum, and Mosque

    I really like what you are doing. I am very excited about this world. As I said before you are welcomed to use any of my sims in my studio. I have both Middle Eastern and Northern European types. Some with skills.

    Hi, I just finished creating a young family for Al Madina. The Hamadi family. Khalid is just starting out in teaching. His wife, Shaheeda is at home with their 2 children, their son, Zahi and daughter Zahra.
    http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=7042334
    In my studio I also have Saleema and Nabeela Haneef. He is a fireman and she is trying to become a chef. then there is Yusuf and Aziza Abdullah. He is a top gun in the military and she is an artist. There is also the Badawi family. the parents as young adults and their 3 young adult children, separately. All families have some money, lifetime rewards and some skills. I also have other families of I guess you could say northern european extration, and then some supernatural sims. I do not use CC. sometimes some store items get used. I do recolor clothing. I hope these sims will be helpful to you.

    Thank you all so much for the support! It's always encouraging to know that there are people that are anticipating good work from me. That's what motivates me to design, color, and sculpt as best as I can.

    Rukaya those families sound perfect! I believe I have a place in the downtown for the Hamadi Family, and for your Firefighter, I will be placing a Volunteer Fire Department in my French neighborhood. I'd like for those firefighting families to be close to it.

    That neighborhood will be separated from central Al Medina by zigzag road through a recreation of the Atlas Mountains, and it will be placed along the edge of a coastline.

    I'm also planning to put a tribal Berber village in the mountains on the opposite side, but I will separate it from central Al Medina by using windswept sand dunes.

    I also plan to add more buildings along the riverbanks across from my central Island. This, along with my Sultan's Palace Complex, will be considered as central Al Medina.

    Don't worry I love correspondence! I like your location: Lost in Misc Decor. I don't know why there isn't a search button or favorites button for making things easier to find

    Thanks Oil!

    I'm in Chicago for most of this week so I don't think I'll get much playtime in.

    Same here. I have not had a chance to post in your thread, Zach, and I'm a few pages behind but I do get by here every few days to check on your progress. This is looking simply stunning and I don't mean to leave anyone out but I am also loving all the contributions from Kerim. I've been to his studio several times now to leave recs for all his builds as he adds to this project.

    I really admire your attention to detail. When you love what you're creating, it surely shows! Beautiful work here!

    The thread is fully updated on the front right now. I swear, I'll get time to implant your contributions guys, I just need to prepare the land around them so I can do them justice.

    Thanks! Your words are so encouraging and it's awesome to see that the efforts behind what you can see in the final results, such as watching hour-long documentaries about Morocco, looking at hundreds of google images, making custom patterns, etc. are actually being appreciated. It's definitely a labor of love!

    Kerim and my other contributors have been simply fantastic. At first I didn't know what I would get by making my world open-sourced, but now that I know I have these contributors, I'd never go back.

    Exactly! The hours of homework you have done are ever so apparent in this labor of love. Even my husband has taken an interest in your project as he was born in Morocco and even though he takes absolutely zero interest in Sims, he is a former home builder and he knows quality when he sees it. He has an eye for details and we are both just very particular about things being as accurately depicted as the game will possibly allow. This desire for perfectionism in our own creations is a tremendous blessing in many areas of our life and for this game, it allows the player some immersion and/or a taste of a culture. Not many of us can afford to travel the world but playing in these different "countries" allows us something and it's a very sweet thing. Many thanks, Zach!
