Betelgeuse a sim-colony in the Sea of Obscurity ... new pictures

Hi Lucy and anybody who may be interested,

I've finally ... after a lot of umming and ahing ... decided to start a post about my wip world as Lucyena one of my most wonderful TS3 friends has kindly offered to build some homes for this endeavour even though she has got no idea what I am working on.

This project begun over 2 years ago when EIG just kept crashing CAW and turned my 'alien' world into a supernova so much so that I feared I had lost it for good.
I recently got CAW working again due to a reinstall of my TS3 games and a decision to limit my store content ... so I thought I'd give Betelgeuse another go.

I have used the rabbit-holes and other items that came with Lunar Lakes, all EPs except Island Paradise and SPs except Movie + Sweet Treats and still a fair amount of store stuff especially items from the Futureshock sets.
Choice of plot sizes to build on are 20x20, 20x40, 30x20, 30x30 and 40x40


Right ... I suppose it's time for some visual input ... just a tiny sneak peek ... so that you my dear Lucy can just about imagine what you have let yourself in for ;) ....

A Couple of Finished Builds


The Bistro at the End of the Universe


Kepler Park - I used to be big time into Showtime ;)



... and please dear Lucy, don't feel obligated to go through with the offer ... but I must admit I really would love at least one of your awesome builds in this world :) x

    Hi @bekkasan , thank you very much for your lovely comment :) .
    I very much hope to have Betelgeuse ready before Christmas this year ... I 'only' have to build a few more lots and check for routing issues ... This world has been in the making for over 3 years so I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed that everything goes according to plan ;)

    @simsample what a compliment thank you! Now I have no reason to end up like 'Marvin' :)
    By the way I am indeed prepared and ready to use my towel ... as long as I will never ever have to listen to Vogon poetry ;)

    Thank you so much for popping by @tammyjo329 :) . I will try and double my efforts to get Betelgeuse ready by the end of the year at the latest.

    @Hidehi I spent the last few hours exploring your beautiful new world! Here is my Sim, Theresa Anderson, who happens to live in Nexus Dreams which is the perfect complement for Betelgeuse! Theresa not only lives in a spectacular home, but she also explores this fabulous future world and has the time of her life.. Here are some screen shots of Theresa exploring Betelgeuse..
