Simsville (edit of Rosewood Hills by SimRealtor) WIP NEW SCREENSSHOTS 5/11/14

«1
First off, I have to give credit to SimRealtor for creating this AMAZING empty world. It is my favorite! It is because of her that I have this wonderful canvas to work with.

With that said...

Screenshot-13_zps2e2f2cdd.jpg

I have stated building in the Warf section of town. This is where you will find the science building, the criminal hideout, a dive bar with a gas station like market, the junkyard (coming soon), and four ports for houseboats ( two are finished and one has a houseboat already on it)

Screenshot-3_zpsb5031632.jpg

Here, you can see "Shiny Things Labs", a throwback to The Sims: Bustin' Out.

Screenshot-4_zps2f01846c.jpg

Screenshot-5_zps2bb73bb3.jpg

For the most part it is complete. it is mark as "Visitors Allowed so that Sims can use some of the objects around the lab. The second Screen shows stairs leading down to what will eventually be a basement lab that will be filled with some of the science objects that came with University Life. This will be open for all you science lovers to do all kinds of experiments.

Next, we have the Old Plumbob Factory,

Screenshot-7_zpsb5ca0a9c.jpg

Here is where the Criminal Career Sims will go to work doing all of their Horrible deeds lol. The mining drill will also be found on this lot.

Then we move to our Dive Bar, "Gasoline Row", which is a biker themed bar that pays tribute to The Urbz: Sims in the City.

Screenshot-9_zps90d085bb.jpg

While not yet complete, This will serve as gathering spot for the rough n' tough biker and rebel crowd. there is also a fire escape that gives access to the roof of the building. Not sure what, if anything, will be added to the roof for Sims to do.

After that, Two of the planned Four Ports have been added to the Warf district.

Screenshot-14_zps6344bc2e.jpg
Screenshot-15_zpsc220cdf8.jpg

all four ports in the Warf District will have the same feel to them and will include two parking spots for cars and one boat hitch for a personal watercraft.

Screenshot_zpsd7132ec4.jpg

And these two frisky Sims are my test family that will help me play test lots as I develop them. They are newly engaged couple William Prince & Umbrielle Aquarius. They are my "Little Mermaid" Couple. While William has been helping me with regular lots, Umbrielle will be better equipped to help out when I start the dive lots.

Well that's all I have for now. I will be working on this world for a while I imagine, and updating this thread with my progress. I would love some feedback and I am always open for suggestions for simmers who are much better at building and landscaping then I.

Again, I truly want to thank the talented SimRealtor for all her hard work on making Rosewood Hills and all of her many wonderful creations that many of us have come to love!!! BTW, if you haven't checked out any of her creations, you should stop by her page here on http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/SimRealtor or on her own fan site http://www.mysimrealty.com/

    The world is looking really nice, Poshie! And of course, it's awfully sweet of SimRealtor to share the CAW files for you to build your own dream on her canvas. I have to say I love this sharing I sometimes come across in the Sims community. Good luck with the project. Have fun!

    @Reachsims unfortunately I don't have the CAW files for this world, so it's bacsically just building on the lots provided. I'm sure if I asked, she would share them (she is really nice), however I haven't the know how to used CAW anyway lol.

    As Promised, Here are some screens from my work on the rural district of Simsville...

    Screenshot-2_zps6db25394.jpg

    Screenshot-3_zps68433664.jpg

    The Simsville Equestrian Center is combined with it's own small Horse Training ground.

    Screenshot_zpsc9a7b3ad.jpg

    I used my own "Mama Hick's Farm" from my studio in this town as well (complete with it's own Hicks Family that I will post pictures of later. I also used this farmhouse which is available at my studio as well.

    Screenshot-9_zpsf7b35f9d.jpg

    Here, you can see the Community Orchard and Graham's Pet Store.

    Screenshot-4_zps1c3a7788.jpg

    Screenshot-5_zps0e8bd613.jpg

    Everything is still under construction and getting some touch- ups. And finally, this is one of the starter homes that will dot the rural district. I haven't decided if I will make this the Newbie Family house or if it will belong to another charter who I have based off of the MOM character from The Sims Console versions lol. Well, That's all for now. hope to have more up soon!

    So i have a small but frustrating update for Simsville. I had upgaded my map to a newer version that was updated up to Island Paradise. I (being new to building with CC worlds) didn't realize that the updated world would replace my first world and render my save unusable. So, I lost a bit of hard work and the completion date of Simsville is now pushed back. However, A lot of thing were saved to my bin so some buildings will just be placed back to where the originally were. The only other silver lining to this set back is that i have a nice bit of time off coming to me and i have plenty of time to play catch-up. I will try to upload some new pictures of my work in progress (Building a new district today to only consists of three lots so it should only take a couple hours to complete). And i'd also like to say thank you to all you Simmers who have left comments!!! I love to read them :mrgreen::D:lol::wink:

    I have to say, this really inspired me! I tried to build my own world in Rosewood Hills a while back, and just sort of got tired of it at some point. Your world looks amazing, and made me want to try build my own again!

    To any fellow simmers following my Simsville thread, I have uploaded some of the lots from Simsville to my studio. the Newbie House, Mom's House, Old McFraggle Orchard and Farm, and Sunset Auto Dealership are already up. This weekend I will be uploading Pleasent Rest Cemetary and Chapel, Neon East Nightclub, and a custom built apartment which has yet to be named. So make sure you check them out!

    It's all looking very good, Poshie! The landscaping looks great and fits in with the age of the town. There's not too much of it. The rabbit hole placements look like they were laid out in a very sensible order. I left recs for all of your uploads. I think the car dealership is one of my favorites of the last four uploads but I also really like Mom's House. :mrgreen:

    Keep up the good work!

    This is absolutely stunning. Do you plan on uploading the entire neighborhood or do we have to install all of the lots to create your neighborhood? If so, is there any way we can get a map to see what goes where?

    I plan to get permission from SimRealtor to upload the world as a save file so that way, as long as you have her copy of Rosewood Hills (updated through IP) it will be completely the way I am setting it up, lots and all!
