Stormwind Reborn! Update 28 May 2017

I want to thank @mzneneprecious @RRArtie @bekkasan @Hidehi for giving me a swift kick in the tail section and get me back into CAW. Although I still hate 1.69 with a passion I have discovered a few things about it while trying to build the water plane tutorial.
1. Although store items do not show up in CAW they are still present and will save with the world as you build. I did several test runs and found that when I use store items on a lot in game and bring that lot into CAW, exported the world to the game, the store items are all present.
2. Working in CAW I could relax and clear my head, which is something I have missed these last couple of months.
3. I just enjoyed it way to much to leave.
4. And finally I hate to leave something unfinished.
So I went into Elwynn Forest, exported the heightmap, terrain paints, and water planes and have reworked stormwind with the help of the recolored walls from Volvenom (link added in the next post) I am back working on Stormwind!
Just want to show a couple of changes that has been made so far:
The old front gate
The new version:
Other changes:
Keep:
Harbor area:
Northshire gate:
And an overview:
Now do not get too excited, I am on spring break so I have time to work on this but as I get back to school my time will be limited. Here is a link to the old thread: Stormwind and Elwynn Forest
I have felt much better these past three days working to get the world back to this point and I hope that this feeling does continue..........

Thanks to Galina for making the WA France retaining walls you can download them at Gleina's Sims 3 Blog.
Thanks to Volvenom and the recolor of the Monte Vista walls!!! find them here: Monte Vista Wall Recolor
Where are we going, and why am I in this hand basket?!
The Cowboy and the Mermaid
So no new updates to really talk about today, I have been reworking all the waterfalls and placing the lots back in. And totally forgot about how many dozens of trees I need to plant, so working on that as well. When I get this version back up to where the old version was I will get some pictures up.

Still have a TON of trees to plant and two waterfalls to complete to get this version back to where the old one was but I thought I would give you an overview of Elwynn with most of the locations labeled.
And the Warcraft map
More as the progress continues......
Okay actually I'm totally and completely nuts LOL
Did take a few moments to add one waterfall some trees, and the mage overlook lot. Still have a GINORMOUS amount of trees to still add, will update more when I can
Still planting the 18 million trees (a slight exaggeration....but not by much...lol) in Elwynn Forest but I thought I would show the "Thunder Falls" area behind Northshire as this area is almost complete:
Upper Falls:
Lower falls:
Have a long way to go to get this world back to where it was but the progress is continuing! Once the trees have been placed throughout the mountain area I will be back to the original.
More as the build continues......
The Goldshire / Northshire area with lot labels:
School is still the priority so that is why to build is going a bit slower than usual. I will update again when I can
I need to thank @Kementari and @Lissykin from the DNA build team for this wonderful recreation of the Lion' Pride Inn located in Goldshire. Kementari recreated the interior of the inn perfectly and Lissykin finished the build doing the final touch-ups and landscaping. All I can say is WoW!!!
And the reason I say WoW!
from Warcraft:
and Kementari's recreation:
Still planting trees throughout the mountain areas of Elwynn but almost complete should not be too much longer until this world is back to where it was in the original build. More updates as I get the opportunity......
Finally got some time to finish planting all of the trees in the mountain area so the world is finally back to where it was before. I will be importing this into the game to start on some more lots inside Stormwind and to give myself a break from trees for a while...lol! Still a VERY long way to go
More as the slow progress continues!
I'm just glad you didn't give up on CAW and this world, it truly looks awesome so far! I know you'll get back to it when you schedule allows.
OK one paper and one presentation down two more papers and 2 more presentations left to finish, 23 days left then I walk! Graduation cannot come soon enough! Nothing new to update except to say that I imported the new world into the game and everything looks to be good, so far. Have not run a full test yet should have time this weekend to do that.
More as the SLOW progress continues
Checked all the bridges and all are good, did a little running around with tester sim and so far world seems to be working well for mot having any finished lots, but will continue to test as I complete each section. More to come.............
@flstrider congrats on finishing school! .... Stormwind's Old Town District is looking fabulous already!!!
Love the new update pics!
