To Be or Not to Be... Mountains, (also titled) Mountains Out of Mole Hills

So, this is just a little post to vent a couple things on my mind at the moment. This is not specifically sim related. However, having been a gamer for most of my life, this can apply to any online gaming community, or any online community for that matter.

Hidden Springs, Textures, and Rambling Rants

Warning: Sleep deprived ramblings incoming.

Sometimes I just do not understand people at all.   Hidden Springs, a new sims 3 world was released to the Store the other day.   Yes,  I grabbed it.  I've been excited for this world since I first saw screenshots.   I personally think it's an absolutely gorgeous world.  I'm honestly not disappointed with it now that I have it in my game.  Apparently though, I'm the only person who feels this way.

Messy Piles of Stuff

There's so much going on in my head at the moment and it's all a disorganized mess.  I so very much dislike disorganized.  I'm definitely one of those people that want everything in nice little neat piles.  That being said, my life definitely is not that way.  Things are more in huge messy piles.  Sometimes I have so many thoughts and ideas it's hard to organize it into a coherent paragraphs.   I suppose first I'll talk about where Summerset Bay currently stands.

Coming Together!

 Alot has happened in Summerset Bay since I last posted.  This is probably going to be lengthy and wordy, but I promise I'll have pics at the end.  I can honestly say that I am very very close to finished.  Meaning that I hope by tomorrow to have it in my game so that I can start play testing everything.  Let's start where I left off with building.

Building! Building! Building! and More Building!

I discovered the most awesome website.  Living Sims is an online magazine, about of course Sims.  It's set up just like any other home and garden styled magazine, complete with editor's page and monthly columns.  I have to admit, it's easily become my favorite place to visit.   There are so many unique interior and exterior home designs, I find that it really inspires my palette.

Summerset Bay Storming! (Brain-Storming)

I don't have really any pictures to share.  I have mostly been playing MC the last couple of days.  After spending four hours staring at grid lines and smoothing them out to make sure all the pathing was correct,  I was burnt out on creating my world.  It didn't help either that I had severe designers block regarding on several areas of my neighborhood.   However, I may have been playing MC and not Sims, I was brainstorming.   That is mainly what's been going on.

Routing, Routing, Routing!

Well, Summerset Bay is actually looking like a real neighborhood. I know I have said this before, I mean it this time, really!  The whole farmland, countryside is pretty much complete.  There are tree lined fields, barns with grain silos, and even pastures spread about.   I've also created a small woodland in the middle of one area.  Actually, I built the woodland area, something like, four times.
