Mahone Bay - Nova Scotia inspired world - WIP Update 14/08/2013

«1
I had to give up on Isla Paradiso because of the lag and routing so I decided to make my own world suited to all the great stuff that came with Island Paradise.

After watching the tv series Haven, I fell in love with the look of the town and found out it's filmed in a town called Lunenburg in Nova Scotia. The town is really beautiful and looks very quaint and as I prefer small towns to a sprawling metropolis I decided to create a world based on Nova Scotia. Lunenburg is my main inspiration for this project.

I am still in the very early stages of development and there is still a lot of work to be done so please ignore the empty spaces. Like Morreaux, I will be building the majority of the lots myself.

I have all EP's and stuff packs but I will be keeping the stuff packs to a minimum.

So far the following store sets have been used:

Barnacle Bay - I have used the Diner from this and a lot of the decorative items
Nautical Living - This probably won't be essential as it's for interiors only

I have used the business as usual set on a seafood restaurant, but I may upload without these items

Here are a few screenshots of what I have so far, your feedback is always welcome

    This looks great, Sinkala! Love all the lots. I will bookmark your thread - I agree that we need alternatives to IP. :-)

    Cool! and totally familiar from our trips there.

    They also have a pretty cool looking maritime museum that you could build.

    Also, it would be a real shame if you don't incorporate bluenose references in the world.

    oh, this is so lovely. Thank you for doing this. I've very much wanted an Island Paradise-enabled northern atlantic world... Your lots look right on the money. I'll be following your progress for sure, looking forward to the next update :)

    I love the series Haven. It's supposed to be Maine, and Maine looks a lot like this too. This looks great so far.

    Thank you all so much for your kind words., I really appreciate it.

    TheJoeyx2 - I do have a couple of builds with a Bluenose reference as I noticed it on a lot of stuff in my research :)

    Hi and thanks. Yes it will be CC free. I use a clean game file when world building so there's no chance of any sneaking in either :)

    Dagnabbit! And just when I had been thinking of doing a Haven-inspired world. Guess you beat me to it! :wink: Haha really though what you've done so far looks fantastic. I'm going to make sure to keep an eye on this thread. And yeah, I think Isla Paradiso worked in a craptastic way for a lot of people.

    This looks amazing! Morreaux is still my town of choice to play in, but I think that this is going to be the one that makes me switch. I can't wait to play this. Have this bookmarked!

    I'm waiting news about Mahone Bay I Morreaux on my computer and I play a lot with him, but I miss the part of IP. I hope that your new world will be ready soon. The photos are beautiful.

    Just popping in to see if there was any news on this world. In my legacy they were moving to Maine, and this place would be perfect!!! I still enjoy Morreaux, and love how perfect it is, but I do miss the IP features, and can't wait for this world! :)

    Nice :D . I'd thought of doing Peggy's Cove or Lunenberg, NS but my latest world has taken me much longer than usual.

    Keep up the good work! :D
