After much thought, I have a rough layout on the new area. Some regions may move slightly, but this is the plan. The new grid’s name is friends-grid
I have decided I wanted to give the 4 of you a special present…..but I really do not want to fight or argue.
This is the amount of land I am getting whether you accept your gift or not.
The next thing I want to mention is I believe and support creativity……but sometimes creativity is limited by the size of your canvas. Imagine being able to put up mountains that are 1-2 sims big…..or a lake that is 4 sims! Imagine being able to drive in high gear! These things are stupid impossible unless you have a decent size canvas.
Well, December and Christmas was pretty rough with all that happened with Hidden Dreams. You four stayed with me and have been active and involved. For that, I thank you!
Because of this, I am sending your Christmas a little early. You each will have a 4x4 to build, create, experiment, bulldoze and start over! I have put tentative names and themes on the map.
Before anyone says “omg, I cannot ever work with that much”, I want you to pause…..and realize what you could do:
F1 tracks for me to beat Pin’s ass
A fantasy area involving mountains and lakes without space issues
Mad max driving like a bat out of hell over the outback
Maybe a sci fi landscape
The bottom line…..you all have some serious canvas to be creative. Realize also that you may want water around or on your region, that can take up space. Use graph paper and plan it out.
Now, I also want to point out something. We are not on a time schedule….. we are not trying to have this done by May 1. In my opinion, this is probably 12 months, some areas earlier, some later. You may want to plan for two months, and you might build on day 1. I don’t care.
If anyone is worried about me not having space, I have about 82 sims to work on…..that should keep me busy for a few days.
Also, I do own 5-10 raw terrain files (islands). If interested, ask and I can show you some examples and you can decide if it would help.
I want to support creativity!
I hope this gift will be accepted in the spirit in which it is being given…..the spirit of friendship!
