Update ~ 10-07-10 Here it is ready to be play tested. I hope it doesn't lag too much. Plays pretty well on my system but it is very large. There are many empty lots in this world.
Link removed ~ World is being updated for with new EP's & spawners.
Here are some pictures of my world, let me know what you think.
Coastline is not finished.
The pier, still working on this.
I still have a lot of work to do on this world but any feedback would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.
And now here is a nice little update on this world. A couple random pics first.
You can see that houses are beginning to pop up here and there in the below pic.
Here you can see what I did to the coastline. I had to modify it quite a bit.
I did re-do the waterfall so its still there and improved. It now has a source. There is a cute little cabin campground area with a lake that is the source of the beach waterfall. I hope you like it.
I also gave the rivers some more details.
The mountains have many more trees.
I also redid the dock and the lot at the end of the pier is now a hang out garden.
Night shot of the beach falls.
I added some large rocks to the ocean. If you've ever heard of Twin Rocks Oregon you may recognize these rocks.
Here is a peaceful nightfall shot of the ocean rocks.
Thanks for looking.
Edit: Here is a pic of the rocks at sunrise.
I also wanted to add a picture of the cabin campground and the brook that leads to the beach waterfall. Here is the camp.

I really like what you have so far! It looks great and reminds me of some of the more countrified parts of the UK. Actually thinking whilst I type, it reminds me of a place in Somerset where I went camping last year!
Really picturesque! I think I might just have to bookmark this one!

Keep up the good work. I'm sure you'll find someone to help with your building. Remember, there's no time limit with CAW - I would much rather see this all world finshed and polished than pumped out quickly because people start nagging for it (which will happen
A few questions...
How do you do your mountains? Mine always look like spikes.
How are you blending the terrain so well?
What are the terrains you're using and at what strength etc. etc.?
How do you place trees, because mine always look unnatural?
But anyways, this world looks GREAT.
but this is looking lovely

Can not wait until I can download it.
@MadGaz ~ Thanks for the comment. I grew up on the Oregon coast which is very green with lots of trees and rivers. This town reflects the sort of landscaping that I love. I'm glad you like it.
@dallas ~ I plan on taking my time with this world, I really want it to be as perfect as I can make it. I love that people like it and I know how it can be to have to wait for something but I definitely don't want to rush through anything. I think the lot building will take the longest. There are over 200 and I'm still not done placing them. This world it pretty big.
@goligy08 ~ I think I got the custom road textures from customsims3.com. It was a while ago but I think that's right.
@KevinSullivan ~ You know whats funny? I actually don't like my mountains all that much. I keep scrutinizing them every time I look at them.
@drowssap ~ I know what you mean. I see a few threads I want to read and by the time I'm done with one the other might be on page three.
@Birkettboy55, Chris2Chris, and mikitta47, ~ Thank you so much for your comments, they make me want to work that much harder on this world.
@MomSonSimFun ~ I love waterfalls so I knew right off that I wanted a lot of them in this world. In fact, I just added another one.
@Samaroni & Yahtzami ~ Thanks, I'm glad you like it so far. I'm having a lot of fun with it and I love all the positive feedback. I'm so glad CAW has been fixed so I could finally start to share my progress with all of you.
Here is a minor update, only three pics.
I worked on the coastline a bit. I just added some palms and put the last road in that leads to one of the falls.
I made another waterfall. I just can't help it, I love them.
And this is to give everyone an idea as to how many lots are on this world. There are still more to be placed.
I'm leaving for a vacation to the Oregon coast on the 20th. I will be coming back on the 27th to resume work on this world. I hope to draw some inspiration from the Oregon coast while I'm there. I grew up there so it will be so great to go home again, the anticipation is killing me.
So, due to my work schedule, this will be the last day I can work on Empyrean Falls until I get back. As of right now the only things I can think that are left to be done is to place all the spawners and create the rest of the buildings. Oh, and about a dozen or so more lots need to be placed.
The world your creating looks absolutely incredible!! The country roads and the waterfalls look stunning. I'd love to see pics when you've compeltely finished.

I have seen so many adorable beach homes that I can`t wait to build and add to my world. I wish I had a lap top. This is hard to type on a cell phone. Anyway, I`ll be back to work on this world by the 28th. Thanks for all the support so far.
I need sizes in 20x20 20x30 30x30 30x40 and 40x40. There are at least ten of each of these sizes. I'm struggling the most with the 20x20. Those tiny lots are hard to build a cute yet unique house on. The above lots are inland and would just need to be regular houses.
If you want to do a specific style of house I have a need for beach homes, log cabins, and farm style homes.
Still left to build for the beach area are three 30x20's, four 30x30, four 40x30, three 40x40, and a 60x40.
Log cabin lots are three 20x20, one 20x30, one 40x30, three 30x20, two 30x30, and one 40x20. These cabins are located on a hill in a wooded area.
Farm houses are needed in the following sizes; three 20x20, ten 30x30, three 30x20, two 40x30, one 40x20, and one 40x40.
Thank you so much for any you do choose to build. I greatly appreciate the help. I just arrived home today from my trip and after a bit of a nap I'm ready to restart work on this world. I saw so many cute, rustic, elaborate, and unique style homes while on the coast. I hope to get a few of those built tonight. Again thanks for the help. If anyone else wants to pitch in and build one or a few of these lot sizes feel free to do so. Much thanks and happy building.
He does not use any third party content in his buildings, so no worries and all his buildings are doll free and safe to download - I've tested every single one of them. I have most of his stuff in my game as I cannot even begin to make the kind of things he makes. He also has community lots including a french grape farm and nectary, several churches - so many lovely places.
By the way I think Oregon looks a lot like where I live in the White Mountains here in New Hampshire. If I didn't know any better I'd swear I was going up the trail road to the Castle in the clouds which is actual just down the road a ways from us. Or the Kangamangus Highway. It is so famous for Autumn foliage people come here from all over the world just to travel that highway when the foliage changes. It literally takes your breath away it's so beautiful. Right now it's all green like yours is though and still looks lovely.
But very beautiful job. Oregon and Washington State looks like they were both connected to NH, Maine, and Vermont at one time. Amazing, yet on two different coasts.
But lovely job. If we ever get a medieval style ep my first thought when I saw it was that would make the perfect Camelot and Sherwood Forest too.

@Writin_Reg ~ Do you think he would mind if I used his homes in my world? I of coarse would give credit where it was due but I hate not having permission from the source. I have seen his creations and absolutely love them. Many of them would look wonderful in my town.
I've never been to that side of the US. I always thought it would be cool to see the sun rise out of the ocean rather than set.
Anyhow, thanks for the comments on my world and if you think ehaught58 would be fine with me using some of his lovely houses then I'll head over to snag a few.
Hey he checks his Fort Sims thread quite often, just mention I sent you and you can ask first hand. I've never known ED to say no as he loves to share. But that way you can hear from him personally.
