Exams are coming up, so I don't have time to properly play the BaCC right now. I'm doing these MMO's in between work as relaxation, as I find it a great way to de-stress. (I'm not doing all these hood makeovers from scratch, by the way. I've got the templates for them saved, so I've got a starting point on which I can build further. In some cases I change them around a lot, in others, not so much.)
Megahood Strangetown is pretty much the same as in Strangely Pleasant, with a few tweaks. The reddish sky is what really makes this hood for me, though. It might be a goofy little town, but it's also full of aliens, mad scientists and secret military operations. Now it looks appropriately vaguely threatening. I really like that :)

I changed very little in Riverblossom Hills. Deco-wise, it's one of my favourite Maxis hoods, and it's clear one of the developers put a lot of work in it. It's got a lot of detail and character already, so I just tried to add to that a bit.
Taking neighborhood pictures for Riverblossom Hills is a nightmare, by the way. Because of the surrounding mountains the camera constantly flips out and jumps to a ridiculously zoomed-out position. Ugh.



( Just smell that mountain air... )
