Three Rivers Region

..This isn't just a game anymore...

No, 3RR and SC4 is no longer an effort by a dedicated individual and the vehicle for his dedication. It is a way of life, creating things so that others may enjoy them and the fiction that comes with them, things that are in truth ephemeral and fleeting, only a crash or corrupted save file away from destruction. But we try again, always.

I salute you, my friends whose faces I do not and may never know. This is truly an experience worth living for.

...Wow. Waxing philosophical today. Of course it IS 10 PM here and I have been up since six thirty using that so delicate of an organ, my mind.

Sleep deprivation + boredom = philosophy. Who'da thunk it, eh?

And please, go on showing us picture of that hill. It is food for the soul.

as you can see Im getting dumped on and its so bad it nocked out power and the fire chief and a deputy fire officer are currently sitting at a down power line while i get to stay here in the warm station and wait for a possible medical call if we get one.... 

that last statement is all so true it was hazadous coming to my station under normal situations it would only take me 5 minutes to go about 4 miles well it took me over 20 - 25 minutes to get here cause its that bad out now, so bad we are even having that wierd thunder snow with lighting... 

BTW the highlighted green area as you are aware where Rhinelander is and well we are due for that amount cause we are to close to UP lol.... that pic just makes me wish for a nice spring day here....

Been lurking around 3RR for years.   Truly is food for the soul.  In January we relocated from Milwaukee, WI to Bangalore, India and I have been feeling quite lost and lonely.  Such a big change...and I'm one of those people who hates change.  But 3RR is a constant, a refuge, home sweet home.  Finally got the problems with the internet connection sorted out yesterday.  I've spent the last several hours going back to catch up from page 114, totally forgetting that I'm no longer in Wisconsin.  I can't begin to tell you how much your efforts mean to me.  Bringing us all together to share the joy of being human, of living, and most of all creating together.  Take care of your health....health, family and friends are really all anyone needs.  The rest is just icing.

Gentle hills, country roads, warm wind, wine bread and cheese.....
That's it! I'm going!

Like Matt, I first thought that this was a long gentle curved road and I was dreaming of the possibilities!
You had me there! The picture is simply gorgeous!

[bat]

That newest picture is looking really great, David! Looking forward to these fences...

[superhands]

i can almost smell the serenity.

Well, In response to that power pole desire, I know SFBT has some poles available (and they work really well) but I don't think they are orthagonal. If you have a particular style in mind, it shouldn't be too hard to cobble something together... the only question I would have would be: visible wires or not?

The maestro strikes again .

With his lyrical tongue and wondrous pictures

Ok I'll go and put the kettle on 
I'm sure you could do with a nice cuppa when you get back from your stroll

David, do you mean power-poles like in this pic? Those are just some lots I threw together- the props can be found in LBT MEGA Props v1.

As always, keep up the great work.

...and i've caught up now.

Shame on me, all this stuff is amazing... I can't believe that this is being done to the game.

It's definitely redefining the boundaries.




Hey, I wonder when we'll be getting our collaboration quads? I wouldn't mind making a start on my city tile - it should be good.

[dedgren]

I know that not everyone is a ruralist...



These fenceline/field edge lots, though, have become a labor of love.  I'm almost through.

Later.


David

[mightygoose]

beautiful work....

[Pat]

Super Sweeeeeet David!!!  Im sitting patiently waiting for those wonderful fences....

[Shadow Assassin]

This should be what every tree aspires to be... a fence on one of your lots.   

[Tarkus]

David, those fences, and all of these lots you're making, are just awesome.  Seriously awesome.  You've added so much to the realism of rural areas with this stuff, it's mind-boggling.

    These are truly a work of art.  I remember way way back you were expresing your frustration with the way the farm fields looked around the edges.  Now the problem is solved!  Fabulous.

[jacqulina]

[bat]

Wonderful two new pictures of the fences! Very beautiful, David!

btw, my 4700th post!!!
