MMO: Desiderata Valley

Ever since the first time I made over Desiderata Valley (which was for my first Megahood), I've been playing it as a tropical hood. Desiderata Valley originally has this completely uninspiring hood layout, and the whole 'valley inbetween the mountains on the edge of a lake/sea' thing has been done way too often. I was also missing a semi-tropical  hood. Plenty of temperate climates, a desert (Strangetown) and mountain/pine forest (Riverblossom Hills), but no palm trees!

One extra thing I did for Desiderata Valley was go into all the houses and give them the same off-white stucco job and red roofing.The effect is more Tuscan than tropical, but I like it anyway :)







I really like the lagoon effect that the bay now has.

The water colour thing is a deco object that came with BV, I believe. It's in your effects tab, and has 'no pic' written instead of a thumbnail. Just place it so it's just below the waterline, looks very nice, like a coral reef :)

Thank you nepheris :) I thought you used some kind of new object or replacement because I tried the BV deco once and it didn't work :/ No matter how I put it, the coral color does not appear on my Desiderata sea...

Thank you anyway! I will try some more times :P
