Hello
Here I present you my latest project: Barcelona. I started this project approximately three weeks ago and now it's the time to share it with you.
I have started building the maritime area and I'll progressively build the rest of the city towards the interior. Barcelona is the biggest city here in Catalonia and it has many characteristic places and many different architectural styles, I hope to be able to recreate them well.
I'm using the biggest map size, some CC and all EPs. The world will also have custom INIs, the ones you can see in the pics below are not the definitive version. Here are the pictures:
Overview pic
Columbus monument
Rambla del Mar (I'll fix the access stairs once Island Paradise is out)
Port Authority Building - works as a celebrity club
Aquarium of Barcelona
I'll update all the fish tanks once IP is out
Restaurant in front of the beach in the Barceloneta District
Finally, my tribute to Luna who has created the Sagrada Família Towers and the Agbar Tower which will help so much.
So I would love to see what you think about it. Any opinion or suggestion is welcome!
I hope you like it!
:shock: Oh my, it's absolutely gorgeous. Will you be including any Store content? This world would work perfectly with Island Paradise and the Traveler Mod.
I love the aquarium, I'm planning to build one myself when IP comes out so hopefully I can add the 'ocean floor' objects as well as the new sealife. Yours looks great.
Yeah!!!! So glad you are making a new world! You are my absolute favorite world creator. Currently playing in Plav Raj, which I always seem to come back to. Thanks for sharing these masterpieces with us. Quick question, how did you make that aquarium??? Am I missing something here?
I'm seriously in love with this! I've lived 2 years in Spain and I had the great luck of going three times to the awesome and beautiful Barcelona. I gotta tell you, I feel like if I was there, like, WOW! You did an amazing job in the port and the buildings!! I can't wait to see the final piece of art!!!
Sneak, this won't be a world with many landscapes, but there are some mountains and hills in Barcelona which I will create such as Collserola Mountains and The Montjuïc Mountain :thumbup:
Whatever landscaping there is will be spectacular, with all you've given us I have no doubts about it Nilxis! In my opinion, you are the most realistic creator of us all (sorry folks, but I include myself also)!
Thanks Bobble
Here are some fresh and new pics and info:
New building in Barceloneta (deco)
Inside one of the 3 liveable houses in Barceloneta
Patio of the previous house
W Hotel Barcelona (works as a base camp)
Here's a picture of the real thing. As you can see it's much more shiny. The walls in my version are metallic, but they are not very shiny... Maybe is just my computer because I've seen videos of skyscrapers in Sims 3 which are really shiny so If there's a way to make it look shinier I'd like to know it
Hotel's pool
Inside the hotel
More soon!!
PS:If you think I can improve something please tell me
Oh my God!! I´m burning with envy... I am working in a world inspired in Madrid, and now I know anything I should do will stand the comparation... :twisted:
Your work is as good as ever, but I am not giving up, I will spy this thread and if you dont mind I will take some advise in how you solve the problems to compress a city of 6 millions people into a simworld of 2 or 3 hundred :roll: and still have it playable.
Good work!, you are one of the best world builders so well done and keep on your way!
I can play at last TS2 TS3 and TS4 So great that toddlers are here!!!

Beautiful so far, but you know what a fan of your painting I am, I'm waiting for more landscape, which will be spectacular !
Alex, in the aquarium there are 2 starfishes from Sunlit Tides, but I'll delete them. I wont be using Store Content.
Lizpearl, I have made it with the fog emmitter effects. There's a tutorial here: http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=416500

That is amazing! I didn't think you could top Plav Raj and Ziwa Bonde, but I think you are!
I've been building around the coastline, here is a new update:
Beach bar
Hospital del Mar (Sea Hospital)
Picture of the coastline: Hotel Arts (left) and Mapfre Tower (right). These two buildings have been created by Monsoon

Olympic Port
My "recreation" of El Peix d'Or (the golden fish), by the architect Frank Gehry. The lot where it's located works as a Poolside Club.

I hope you like it!
It looks near perfect- as usual. :thumbup:
No, I built Dubai two years ago but I abandoned that project, so this will be my first official city world
I can play at last TS2 TS3 and TS4 So great that toddlers are here!!!
Wow! Dubai, what an endeavor. I don't blame you for ditching it. :shock:
