Hello everyone, I am SO SORRY I have been AWOL: I am not online much these days and when I am I am rarely on the forums or email, so, THANK YOU Terry for the reminder message. EDITED TO ADD: err.. I am confused, as it looks like (now I am a good partway through gifting) that someone else stepped in? Well I am very sorry to…
Hello hello! Gosh I've been away from the forums for months :oops: :oops: It is SO fun to sign back on and see some activity here! I haven't seen ANYONE posting their results from this here or on tumblr, so THANK YOU so very much Greencats for sharing your handiwork! They are lovely! I can't wait to see them in one of your…
Hello Dear Friends, I checked my email today for the first time in what I now realize is weeks and weeks, and right at the top was an email saying that I've been missing from the forums and I need to poke my head in, so I am doing so! I didn't realize it had been so long! Hopefully in the next few days I can get caught up…
Hi everyone! How are you all doing today? I'm off to the doctor again today as I took a bit of a bad turn late last week, but I'm sure I am on the other side of all this illness stuff. I've been sleeping well, which is very novel. I've been in CAW and building in game over the weekend in spite of it all and I might…
Hi! Sorry to be so slow. I was doing great and then I had a pretty rough week this week. I should be back on track now I hope :) I did the recolor! It turns out it each tower has three color options! And that is why the textures looked complicated. Duh. Haha! The only tower that isn't really amenable to retexturing is the…
Hello everyone! :) :) I love signing on and seeing all your faces, it really brightens my day! Happyjme! I am so happy to see you! Welcome back. I've been wondering how you are. I well understand avoiding a computer in a cold corner :) We've had a cold winter here, for sure. No worries on taking your time! I'm close to…
Hi everyone! :) So sorry I've been away: I was super sick the last two weeks and am turning a corner, so I hope to be back around a bit more. I've got an idea for a build and maybe will have some pictures to post! :) I hope you are all doing great! Springfairy, craingerbeagle, Looby, and moonbeamy, I'm so excited to see…
Hi! Sorry I've been away. I've been totally out of commission so far as being on the forums, but I'm doing a lot better the last day or so. I'm hoping to get back at this again :) Aaron, do you mind if I link to your distant terrain thread on the OP? I think that is super cool :) Also, I just dug up this link for the Real…
I'm sorry for all the frustrations everyone is having with this :( I'd be so excited if someone came in here with a strategy for getting around these issues that didn't involve getting a different license. Please note: If you are getting stuck on the LAUNCHER, then I believe this is when you need to have the earlier…
Hi everyone! I am so sorry for being such an inconsistent poster :) Silence, thanks for the interest, the project is still on, but has been somewhat on hold as I have been really struggling with health issues since the onset of Winter. And I am learning some new terrain-building techniques, so that has taken a bit of a…
Hi! Sorry I've been AWOL :) It has been a rough week, but I'm doing a lot better since yesterday evening, and I wanted to let Jodi know I took a good look at the files for recoloring the resort tower. They are just plain weird. I don't know how to describe it as I can't quite figure out what is going on with them. There…
Hi! I almost posted in here a few weeks ago about this. I have definitely used the techniques in this excellent tutorial on multiple occasions, to the point where I would say this is all a keeper in my tool box of CAW tools. And this is coming from someone who used to use DEM data professionally. The SRTM module for Google…
Hello everyone :) Thanks for the well wishes! It has been very rough, but just yesterday I think something in my lungs finally moved and I can take this big deep breaths again. This all crept up on my so slowly, I don't think I've felt that for months. It feels very novel. I can breath! Yay! I've had two good nights of…
Hello everyone! :) I checked in over the weekend here on my mum's ipad but didn't leave a message: Rukaya, I'm so glad your SIL is ok ! Definitely keeping him in my thoughts. Py, so happy your Grandma is doing ok, too :) Thanks for the thoughts and hugs! I'm hanging in here :) This will be my one stop online today. I'm…
Christine, :D That is great! Feel free to share any pics of terrains in here, in WM or in CAW or in game :) Azul, I am so happy to hear you have good doctors. Mine is great, too (finally). What a difference that makes! That is so great you were having fun in WM today. Sounds awesome! I can't wait to see, if you feel like…
Oh my gosh! Look at all these great posts! Thanks, everyone :D Star and Tangie, :lol: you guys are making me laugh! and Rukaya here too :) hugs! Jodi, if you didn't see my message, I'd be happy to do that recolor! I just need lots of reminding. I give you permission to pester me as much as you like and I'll try to get it…
Hi! Junceda, this great you are excited for this. Azul, you and I are all topsy-turvy. This is really kind of funny: I just had to drive 8-hours round trip to Albany today to go see my Doctor for my monthly visit/treatment, because I can't get the care I need here in Burlington. I'd be much better off in Rutland! I can…
Hi everyone :) Rukaya, I am right here, really putting the prayers out there for your Son-in-Law. We will all be waiting to hear how he is. I do hope you get your play time, too. That is great your granddaughter was with you over the weekend. I have pneumonia! Go me! (groans) I didn't want to say it, but that is what I…
Hi! :) I have done it once. It actually wasn't too bad. I recommend making a fresh library folder in your game, and using just that for saving your families for populating. I took the most recent version of the world that we had exported, with all the families placed where we wanted them, and drew a map on paper of each…
No such thing as behind! (says me, scrambling) :) Plenty of time for all this, right? I am sorry, I am sick as a dog here! I shouldn't keep promising to get things up, it is just so exciting that there is interest :) I did get quite a bit of play time with WM. Aaron's TMD files are great! If anyone is feeling stuck also…
Hi :) Dear SpringFairy and Sweet Rosemow :) Thank you for the lovely thoughts and words. I am so happy with my assignment! Pico, Azores! :) Thank you so much, Terry and Bathsheba !! I am so thrilled to have this challenge and to be able to share in the exploration with all of you. You all ease my saudade. That is very…
Hi! I hope it is ok if I post this here. I had so much fun thinking about all these things. I hope this is not too much: Username: aminovas Country which I live: New England, USA. Other places I have lived: Primarily South of London, UK and the Rocky Mountain West, USA; Also, Texas, New York City, and Tennessee, USA. Twice…
Nice! Thanks, Aaron. I linked to your post with those files on the first page and I'll add it the tutorial as well so people can compare the files. Exellent. :thumbup: (the worst thing, and really the only bad thing, about my Alienware, new this fall is the mouse/trackpad. I just got an updated driver for it and it helps,…
Hi Junceda, I am really glad you like it and I am sure you can get to a place where you are comfortable with using it whenever you want :) Not like you NEED it. ;) Or that any of us do, but it sure is fun!
Hi Aaron! Awesome :D Hey, if you felt like explaining the Distant Terrain, that would be amazing ;) I have a sense of what to do, but I'd feel a lot better hearing it from you. you know, if you have time :) no rush !! I think the danger for me with all of this is that I tend to overcomplicate things ;) My TMD files for…
Lol! No kidding, right! Actually pretty much everything else is on hold. I really need to get some things finished up for Zach which I haven't felt ready to tackle yet, and a family for Barcelona made, but, honestly, I'm making World Machine my priority right now. I really want to learn it and make sure there are resources…
:lol: hey there, neighbor! I'm in outside of Burlington. Rutland, you my peeps. ;) Rutland is where the sensible Vermonters live ;) haha! I was actually just ranting about that with my friends, joking that we should all up and move to Rutland because Burlington is just silly. This is great. I've been thinking about how to…
Hi! :) I'd love to sponsor and enter for fun! That sounds perfect :) Thank you! This is just what I need :) I love the pictures! We have black squirrels in the Rocky Mountains, but they are very rare. They are called Albert's Squirrels :) That is so cool they are in Venezuela, too! I filled out the entry form last night…
