just goes to show, i can't leave for one week without something amazing being posted...great work

Naryanna · February 23, 2007, 08:25:39 PM

Wow! This work is fascinating. Wonderful pictures also. But the thing that I find the best here is very-very wonderful region. Simply adorable and lovable.

I am quite ready, Emil, to spend a week at that beach. I can never get them to turn out looking like that.

The "barn" farm pic is evocative of hundreds of drives over the course of my lifetime through rural Appalachia. Thank you for capturing it- I feel a particular sense of kinship with someone who looks at a scene and the same thing catches his or her eye as would catch mine.

More great IG, my friend.

Believe it or not, that is actually a Maxis in-game farm (as I have seen from my experience) and it appears to have some mayor mode trees plopped around it. On that note: great stuff. Good details of things both small (boats, small stops along the road) and large (cities, etc).

Well, shoot.

I think I've had Grandpa Al's maxis farm blocker for years now, one of the first mods I ever got. Well, I'm not activating the rest of those ugly farms just to get the barn.

Thanks ts.

I'm very happy to announce the celebration of 100 posts in Developing Islas Gemas. I am truly honoured by all of your wonderful comments, and insights. A special thanks to Cali, that brought this MD in to 3 digit country.

Personal replies:

Marius: Thanks a lot! I did a search on STEX for it but now I can't find it. I think it's an old Cobb BAT, but it might have been uploaded by someone else. Sorry.

kwakelaar: Already answered that. Thanks for commenting too!

Rayden: Thank you! I'm in complete love with those rowhouses myself. Found them on the Mexican SC4 community.

bat: Thank you so much!

thundercrack83: I will try, sir, I will try!

sebes: Thank you! You are of course welcome as soon as get the airport finished.

CabraBuitre: Thank you! That means a lot coming from you. I really admire some of the things you do.

DebussyMan: No, thank YOU! I have recently downloaded your marvelous new cathedral, but I'm having trouble finding a big enough piece of flat land to place it on.

petercintn: It's from a very secret stash... If I told you where I found it I would have to kill you.

threestooges: Bah! Now you told him...

HabLeUrG: Thank you... now you made me blush!

Cali: And thank you for making the 100th comment in my MD.

Naryanna: Thank you so much! I love that region too. HabLeUrg made it for me. It can aslo be downloaded on STEX.

dedgren: Thank you David! I liked the look of that farm myself, I don't really no why, it's nothing special - just a Maxis farm and a road, but it somehow fits with the terrain and trees, which was basically a coincidence.

Zaphod · February 24, 2007, 04:23:28 PM

Congratulations! Sorry that more of those comments werent mine.100 comments in a month is pretty good. especially since its here on SC4 devotion... this place is getting to be a good place to host CJs/MDs
