Schulmanator: Thanks! Let's hope for it at least.

thundercrack83: Thank you, and not a small part of those comments are from you, my friend, hehe... ;D

patfirefghtr: Thanks! Yeah, I noticed that too, but a bit too late, actually. I would have reloted it, but for some reason it doesn't look wrong from other angles. ???

Shadow Assassin: Thank you so much!

NikNik: Thanks! That picture looks exactly like I thought it would look inside the club too. :thumbsup:

Strechnitz: Thanks a lot!

bat: Thank you, as always, bat!

rooker1: Thank you!

threeswept: Thanks! I like the older BAT:s a lot myself. Some of them may have some technical issues, but it looks much more original with them.

Badsim: Thank you and welcome back! I'm glad you liked Cecric el Malo (and that you understood the implications, hehe... :satisfied:).

nova vesfalo: Thank you so much! I'm really glad to hear that you think I have a "coherent urban style" since there are so many different BAT:s in there (for instance the "Finish rowhouses" that I use for midrises, hehe...) and it's hard to fit them all together.

kimcar: Thank you, kimcar!

Yoman: Hehe... thanks! I do think there is a small spieces of crab lurking the muddy sea floor of the Habelurgian Strait, known as Crustae Emilianus, but it has yet to be scientificly proven. ;D


Río Paraíso

Just a small number of pictures this time. One of the new features of Playa del Paraíso is a river that comes down all the way from the mountain Trueno. It streches over two city tiles, so this update will only feature the part of the river that is located in the PdP tile.

Very beautiful looking pictures, emilin! Wonderful work on the river! :thumbsup:

 &apls Very impressive work on this river. Super pics. :thumbsup:

A very beautiful river I like the way it is ending in the ocean cutting through the beach with all the underwater growth.

Sweeeeeet river :thumbsup: Very realistic nature there.
Visit Vorsfelde.

The Río Paraíso looks amazing, emilin! I love the bridge you've made to cross it with the puzzle pieces--very clever! I'll be looking forward to seeing more!

Thundercry

Very nice! &apls

Are those custom beaches?

Schulmanator

I love the terrain and the details you put in the landscape. Superb.  &apls

The river looks great, also the bridge looks very realistic.

Great 'small' update Emil.

I like that river and it is very realistic until it hits the beach. It looks like a very rapid river but at the beach it has quite down dramatically. This is only possible if you have some sort of lake just before the beach or the opening to the beach is very wide. Anyhow, just my thoughts.

Have I ever asked before where those reddish highrises can be found? If yes, sorry I missed it, if no: Where can they be found?

Enjoy life.

bat: Thank you so much!

kimcar: Thanks!

kwakelaar: Thank you! I like working with underwater flora a lot, so I'm glad it was appriciated.

patfirefghtr: Hehe... thanks! You are much too kind.

FromTheAshes: Thank you!

thundercrack83: Thanks! I'm glad you noticed the bridge.

Thundercry: Thanks! Yes, those are custom beaches. I edited them from the "beaches for irregulare coastlines" available on STEX.

Schulmanator: Thank you!

Berethor: Thanks a bunch!

NikNik: Thanks! You raise a valid point about the "speed" of the streem when it hits the ingame water. Sadly there is not enough space to solve the issue by making a lake, but if dedgren solves the problem with ploppable streams in ingame water I could probably sue that to solve it. And about the red houses: I'm not sure what they are, actually. I will have to get back to you on that one. ;D


Los Olivos and the southeastern coast of Zafiro

This will be a sort of roundup-update. In the region shot I have marked out all the places that we will visit in light blue. The places marked in white have already been featured in earlier updates. We are still touring the southcoast of Zafiro with all of its' tourist attractions and resorts, but after this update I will give that area some time of rest (frankly I'm a bit bored with building hotels right now ;D) and focus on some other places for a while.



Let's start with some of the farmlands surrounding Playa del Paraíso and the villages of Trevejos and Vilaflor:











And now, Las Galetas - a small resort town closely connected to PdP:









Los Olivos is a medium sized resort town with a more family oriented profile:













Buenavista is mostly timeshares and no hotels. Most of the people renting these houses are retired and looking for a peaceful vacation:

It really is a great day when we get a new update from you.  Another fabulous update.  I love your choice of residential homes, they fit together so well.  But instead of using the avenue, why don't you use RHW?  Just a thought.

Call me Robin, please.

Wonderful new update, emilin! Great work on that city (/town)! Also a great overview of that part! :thumbsup:

thundercrack83

Splendid update, as usual, emilin! Your farms are fabulous, and I love the that waterfront building! Excellent job, my friend!

flame1396

Love the timeshares. You find some interesting BATs.

Those tilted buildings are great.
The most astounding and unique aspect of the human race is our fervent application of our ingenuity to kill each other, thus completely defying the near-universally proven fact that the ultimate goal of a member of a species is to ensure the survival of the species.

NikNik

Great work Emil.
My first thoughts were, hey those appartments could be time shares, guess what you also thought that: "Buenavista is mostly timeshares and no hotels. Most of the people renting these houses are retired and looking for a peaceful vacation".&apls

Great stuff, the farms look also great.
