It's Been Awhile

I know it's been awhile but blame that on CAW. I have been spending most of my simming time trying to finsih Newburgh Heights. I still have long ways to go due to rl taking place. I have most of the community lots done. Playtesting is near completion. I probably will release a testing version for others to point out things I may have missed.  I  don't have many residential lots completed. So far I have two starters and a small home. I haven't done any of the nightclubs either or apartments because trying to build inside the shell gives me a  headache. Well, not really that is just an excuse I'm using so I can get finished and play generations. Talk about drooling over all the pics from other simmers. I was just going to go ahead and install generations but then with my luck I thought it was best to finish this world. I really don't want to lose it like Newport Bay. So I guess it is time to show off some progress. You have been warned pic spam is about to take place.

Downtown: Almost complete only 3 lots to go. Salon, Consignment Shop, and a football Field.

City Hall

Modern Art Gallery: This is an earlier version, it just shows the architecture. The inside is complete.

Central Park before the Art Gallery and City Hall was completed and don't worry those lights have been removed.

Subway Station and EV Station

Police Station

Another Subway Station in the Downtown Area. In total there is two stations downtown.

Shopping Plaza includes Bookstore, Grocer, Spa, and Bistro. Originally there would have been two plazas but had some problems with the consignment shop during testing hence the consignment shop and salon not being completed.

Downtown at Sunrise. I'll post at night shot later.

Well I guess thats all I'm going to show for now. I'll post pictures of the beach are tomorrow.

Just a few more random pics.

Tomorrow we'll meet up at the beach!

My new project and the next home of the Magnificent Scents Series

Hi! I have good news and bad news.

I'll start with the bad news. Well its not that bad, so I'll say it is a little set back. I'm currently having an issue with the next home for the Magnificent Series. There is a problem with the ceiling tiles shifting from the design that I have in place. I did however go in a change some of them back, but I not sure if they will stay in place just yet. So I'll let you guys know how that go a little later.

Now for the good news. I'm back using CAW! I have somewhat of the world done except for the building process and a few tweaks here and there. I wasn't sure about a name until just recently. I decided to call it Newburgh Heights. It roughly based off of Newport Bay, Sunset Valley and Bridgeport. So Newburgh Heights will divided into districts just like Newport Bay. The difference being there will not be as many districts. So far it will have an industrial district, suburban district, and a shopping district. It has a small tropical area. Like Bridgeport I have added an area for the upper class rich, famous, celebrity folks. Now on to the pic spam.
Note: The buildings are not finished lots, they are just placeholders for now.

This is a one of the fishing spots that I recently worked on, I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it because at the time I just testing out if Edit in game will work.

Sneak Peek of the next home in the Magnificent Scents Series

I thought it would be a good idea to post a sneak peek of the last home in the Magnificent Scents Series. I'm too tired to ramble today, so the pictures are right below.

This picture shows the beginning stage of the home. I'm much further than this, but thought I'll show it anyway, since I had no other screenshot of the inner courtyard. Yes, it has an inner courtyard. Something I've been wanting to do for quite some time now. I know, I thought I was too tired to ramble. 

Next picture

I guess I can give you guys one more pic today.

That's All Folks!

Happy Simming!

My horrible editing skills

Okay so I seemed to not be able to sleep. So I decided to try out some photo editing with one of my sims. This is my first attempt at trying to make a sim look decent by retouching certain parts of the photo. I show you the before and after pictures.

Before-not much of a nice pose

After-I added eyeshadow and brighten her up a bit, maybe a lot. Tried adding in lighting and shadows but as you can see that didn't work out to good.

Here is another attempt at my horrific editing skills. I really need more practice.
