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.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's lovely! As are all your other 'hood makeovers! But I like this one the best for some reason haha!

>.> Do you mind me asking what hack/mod you use to make your waters and skies look so...awesome??

Thanks very much! :) I only use nimi4's sky objects (she's on LJ, check her out). The water reflects the sky, making it look much more realistic.
