I finished another block of buildings, this time in the more 'industrial' part of the town. This block houses three residential lots, and the local community center where sims can meet up and have a little fun. 

I added three more buildings, using the Fake Rowhouse technique. I'm new at it, and it took a couple of tries to get what I wanted, but I'm quite happy with the results :) Angler's Cove now has its own pub (The Sailor's Head), restaurant (Lighthouse Diner), and a small residential lot. Only the Lighthouse Diner has been furnished so far, and I haven't completely settled on a style yet, but it's looking good so far.

I also updated the Sim City makeovers with personal portraits for the sims. I had to split the post in two, because it got too large with the added pictures. You can find them here and here.

Hey guys, long time no see huh?

I'm not really simming a lot lately as I'm spending my time on other things. I might or might not get back into it - I didn't even open the game for over a month, and I've only just started to load it up again occasionally. I'm enjoying poking around in it a little, but I'm not really playing right now. Sorry everyone who was following Riverside Hollow or my MMO's! I might return to it in the future, but don't get your hopes up, I'm afraid.

I did spend some time decorating and generally fiddling around with Angler's Cove, my tiny seaside town, so have a bit of picspam :)

 A couple more pictures of the new 'hood, as I'm slowly adding in decorations.

 I was incredibly inspired after looking through nimi4 's pictures of her neighbourhood New Ambleside. (Go check out ALL of her stuff, it's simply gorgeous)
I've been itching to put together a small hood from scratch for a while, and I've finally made the leap. It took me ages to perfect the terrain in SC4 (Seriously, 2+ hours - longest I've ever spent on a single hood), but I finally have very own my teensy tiny seaside town :)

I've only just begun decorating it, but I'm so excited about it that I just want to post some of the early pics already ^^ I'm trying to give it a northern, rocky sort of look, and it will probably turn into a fisherman's village.

By the bye, name suggestions are always welcome!

 I spent most of my playtime today planning the future look of Riverside Hollow. I'm really happy with how it's turning out - I've got a seperate hood just for decorating and planning lots, and I'll be updating the town as progress is made.

I've incorporated a couple of the changes of future!Riverside Hollow already, so I made a little tour for your viewing pleasure.

So as you could read here, I've been helping out nimi4 with testing her new Neighbourhood Sky Objects :) Well, testing being a big word, as I mostly put them in my game and drooled a lot over them. And took some pictures, too.

Riverblossom Hills and Veronaville share a University in my Megahood (Academie Le Tour), so I wanted to tie them together a little bit in terms of general look and feel. RBH is obviously much more mountain-like and situated further north, but I tried to give it the same olde-worlde charm that Veronaville has (in my opinion.)

I've got a couple of pictures that I really love but didnt' fit in the story anywhere, or where sims were goofing off when I was trying to set up a serious scene.

And because I'm a sharing kind of person, I'll foist them on you all :p
