    Yep, it's designated as a city! I already knew that, but thanks anyway :wink: .

    The only things you won't see in a city world are wild horses, deer and raccoons.

    Horses running around the desert wouldn't really fit in anyway :mrgreen:

    Setra is going to be great, Pyro.
    Neverglade was my first "Wow!" world, so I can only imagine what effect Setra will have on me...spontaneous combustion? I don`t have any questions for you, I just look forward to exploring all the things your imagination has created for Setra. Yep, Setra is going to be great. :wink:

    Lol! Dunno if they'll all fit into Setra, considering it already has 'bout 100 sims living there :mrgreen:

    -Haha it's no problem cause I'll most likely wipe out the populatin and replace with my own sims. (no offense lol) I just seem to like it that way :roll:
    Who knows maybe I'll keep some pre-mades around anyway :P

    I haven't posted much at all on the forums, but I usually just lurk your world thread - I'm terribly excited for it, by the way. There are seriously no words to describe my excitement that it's about to go into beta testing. Hope everything goes smoothly for you and I definitely cannot wait to play Setra! :D

    Thanks for your help!
    I will try that! Maybe they do just spawn at the base-game ones, but it is better if you can spawn the snakes at a rocky environment for example. And rodents on the fields nearby farms or something.
    So thanks for those links, I think they will help me. :)

    I read somewhere that Unicorns won't spawn either :shock: I could be wrong, though.

    Oh - great world. Not that I need to say it. :XD:

    I haven't actually made a post on this thread, or on many to be honest (I just stalk them like crazy), but I've been following the progress of this world for so long - even checking in on it while I was recently overseas for 5 months - and I'm sooo excited it's so close to being released!! Can't wait!

    Finally the mystery will be solved ;)

    Haha, thanks again for your always kind words, Johnny :)

    Thank you! I hope it goes smoothly as well. So far so good. I'm excited to see how testing will go :)

    Unicorns (actually, it's just one per world, in the wild) do :)

    Thanks conner :lol:

    About 40. Not sure yet, as I keep adding Sims and I still need to balance it all out. Won't exceed that number by much though, don't want to go all overboard with it.

    Beta testing will probably not be this weekend, but there is a small chance it will. (More on that in a bit!)
    I downloaded a Zebra pattern for horses and I have yet to try them out!

    My test-horse was a zebra; it looked pretty neat ^^

    Well, I'm honored you chose to comment here then :lol: I hope you'll like it when it's done!



    Aaaaand a little update. Setra is really nearly finished now! I got the routing paint all done. Took me two whole days of working on it, most boring and tedious part by far. Especially the double-double-double-checking for gaps and potential issues is 'lovely'. (like routing points locked in by trees)

    This also means 90% of the terrain sculpting is done. There's just going to be a little bit of editing here and there, especially on the decorative outer layer of the world. I'll probably keep making little changes and finishing touches during the beta testing.

    All residential lots are done, most of the community lots are done too. There's just a few community lots that need some extra attention, and I still need to make a cat jungle. (Final lot count will likely be 129)

    I've begun placing spawners, which is just fun, quick and easy. Should be done in an hour or so :P

    Sims are all nearly done. What is still going be a lot of work is fleshing them out. I almost have every Sim assigned a job, but I still need to write up stories for them and add skills and such. Don't expect too much in this area, though. I don't want to drive myself absolutely bonkers ;) Also, I might just do this part during beta testing too.

    Terrain painting needs some work here and there. Won't take too long, might make some adjustments during beta testing.

    Finally, there are the miscellaneous decorations. These are things like streetlights, trees, shrubs, rocks, etc. This has the potential to still take a while, but I'm not sure. Don't want to overdo this either and most of it is in place already.

    Before beta testing, I will test some things myself. I've been doing this throughout the development, so it won't take long. I did notice some routing-freezes, but I haven't fixed all the routing everywhere yet so I'm hoping that will be resolved soon.

    Beta Miiiiiiight be ready this sunday. If not, then somewhere next week. I want to get it out asap! :mrgreen:

    It's a house! Currently there is a rich celebrity couple living there. The wife is a successful movie director, while the husband earns his money in more dubious ways.

    Sorry if this is a silly question, but what exactly is a beta and how do we use it versus the final version? What are going to be some major differences between the two?

    A beta is the not the finished product, and a beta is the testing version

    I still can't say for sure. I'll have a whole night of working on it, and then tomorrow some more. There is a small chance I deem it ready for testing by the end of tomorrow, so we'll see. Regardless, testing will begin any day now if not tomorrow :)

    I have no idea what you're talking about :P I'm ok! Just excited that it's nearly done. After working on it for a year it feels extremely good to finally put it out there. (But I do also have lots of studying to do for upcoming tests, so I am sorta stressed and want this to be over with :lol: . My mind's way too absorbed by this world).

    Beta is the testing phase of the nearly finished product :) I want it to be tested before I put it up for download on the exchange. So yes, there might be some big differences between beta and the final version. Especially things like routing errors, typos, small unfinished areas, etc.

    I'll explain what is going to change from beta to the final version once I have beta up :)
