MMO: Desiderata Valley

[nepheris]

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.

I've been loving all your megahood makeovers but this one is truly stunning. It also really fits with the whole hobby theme of the place. It has some of the same feel as southern California where we've got the whole sea, palms, red roofs, and white stucco thing going on.

Haha I hadn't thought of the whole 'hobby' theme of the hood yet, but you're right, it does fit well :) Thank you!
