Two Rivers Valley

[Rayden]

Long time since I showed a MD around here. About 2 years now. But my MDs comes back in time to 2005 when I first introduce New Haven Harbor , at Simtropolis, then they were called CJs (City Journals) and I remember competing against SCR from Jeronij, or AVR from Darmok or even Green Depra from chocolatemax285. In 2006 I started Els Pirineus , at the same time that other great CJs like 3RR from Dedgren or the multiple CJs Aleking have appeared. There were more I use to follow with great interest that I can't remember right now and would be too many to list them all. Unfortunately, and normally on that time, many CJs died mostly  because of a bad or missing plug-in, and Els Pirineus went the same way. After that I tried several other MDs, by then, I had already moved here to SC4Dev, and I started Little Italy . After that I made another try with Shosaloza I , and played on between with Costa del Sol and Bordertown and my last attempt playing a region was Shosaloza II which I never showed publicly.
One thing, except for Bordertown, all the maps were made by myself, like the one I am now presenting.

I don't have much to show right now, except for the region and a few images from the farming area. I'm using the Italia Terrain customized to my needs and my own Rock Mod. Usually my maps were quite mountainous and there were a lot of things I couldn't use properly like Canals, Highways and Airports. This time I'm going to build all of that. The map is 7x5 large tiles (35 large cities). I would like along the way to have your support and most likely will ask for some advise here and there, specially when I start building those Highways (RHW) and Airports or Seaports.
Also, whenever you see something you like and would like to know what and where to get it, don't hesitate to ask.

Here is the region


and bellow some shots from the first farming development.






That's it for now...

Great to see that you are starting a new MD adventure. Interesting region (do I already spot some future infrastructure in the making there?), and your farms look excellent.

[Reikhardt]

Great looking region and some really nice farmland. I particularly like the the bridge over the irrigation chanel to the farm.
Very good start! 

[Girafe]

Hehe good to see you back on a MD 

[noahclem]

Welcome back to MD-ing!  The farms and map look nice and I look forward to seeing the area develop!

[metarvo]

This is a good start to your new MD, Silvio!  I especially like the way that you carefully connected the driveways of the farm buildings to the streets there.  Keep up the good work!

[ldvger]

Very nice region and I like the farms.  It looks like you are using Peg's new SPAM mod, is that correct?  I've been watching to see how folks would use this and to see how it looks, and I think it looks pretty good!

UPDATE 1

I didn't do much today, laid down some roads and filled the city with some more farms. I also did some terrain tweaking and add some vegetation and fencing.



In the meantime population reached 3000 and I was awarded with my "humble" Mayor's House



I also made a small recreational park for my SIMS

Thx guys for the warm welcoming and nice comments 

@Gjermund - If you meant those lines on the region shot, yes, those are the RHW that I already layed down, still on 2 lanes version, that will be upgraded to wider lanes when necessary. There is also some rail lines already in place.

@Lora - Yes, I'm using SPAM, but not the mod itself as it is not CAMpatible, only the farms that I had to put them through PIMx and they grow along nicely with all other farms.

That's it for today, I'll get some more tomorrow.

wow, looking really promising.
i absolutely like the map.

looking forward for the next update...

[Tomas Neto]

Fantastic start, and awesome updates!!!

[Rayden]

UPDATE 2

Just a small update, a couple of mosaics and an image. The weather was good outside, so I didn't play much.







Thx guys for the nice comments.

[Exla357]

Hey there, lovely mosaics . Your rural areas are truly stunning . You could use a bus skin though, there are so many good ones out there . Looking forward to more!

[jmyers2043]

These are very inspiring pictures, Rayden.

[nedalezz]

Great couple of updates!

I believe its not neccessarily the quantity of the pictures in the upgrade but the quality, and you get a 10/10 in that regard

Its a very good combination of rural towns with wilderness, you blend them so well!

Your introduction stirred many memories of "the good old times". I used to follow those MDs.
Your new MD looks great.

[Terring7]

Looks great

Em primeiro lugar os meus parabens pelo seu novo MD. Já hà muito que admiro o seu trabalho e o sigo aqui no SC4D. Eu sei que é chato responder às perguntas do costume sobre onde arranjou isto e aquilo mas não posso deixar de questionar qual o mod que utiliza para ter os poste de iluminação nas estradas. E que vedações das quintas são essas?

Um abraço

Firstly my congratulations on your new MD. Has long admired his work and follow him here in SC4D. I know it's annoying habit of answering questions about where you got this and that but I can not but wonder what the mod you use to have the lampposts on the roads. And that fencing of the farms are those?

A hug
