I love whoville and also Ellie's world. I've read so many of the tutorials by auntylinds-just don't know exactly how to contact her, she doesn't seem to use her page much :(.
I am spending a lot of my time researching how to do things.
I am not totally convinced about the recolorable rabbitholes. I removed some of the lots I used them on to do some re-sculpting and when I went to EIG to place them again they were partially off the lot and when you try to grab the building it comes apart in pieces. It doesn't happen every time but this is a huge problem, especially for anyone who might download the world and then find the EC in shambles! They are really easy to use and recolor though, much easier than doing it with another program.
My biggest problem has been learning how to recolor items. It is really hard to find the item you need and if it isn't from the store I can't even get my hands on it at all. I have literally wasted entire days trying to find out how to do it. There isn't a good tutorial on recoloring store objects and people who know are not being very forthcoming. They try to point me in the right direction but this is all a huge learning curve for me. I'm sure they have more fun things to do that walk me through it but I really need a step by step, start to finish tutorial on that. So far I only know that I need a minimum of 3 different programs to get it done. It is all very technical.
As for roads, I agree the witches need them to fly but I would rather see witches walking than taking a taxi! At least the flying monkeys don't need roads to fly!
I have found that using the subway system is actually very convenient. I added them inside little 'train depots' for the Wild West word and all of the sims used them autonomously.
Still, since the world is now a large world- I may do roads. I may also just get the bare bones of the world done and upload it empty. That way others can do what they want with it.
Does anyone know if placing sidewalks side by side (so that it looks like one wide walkway) causes problems?
I know I am breaking all kinds of rules, LOL...but I want to try and see how special can I make it?
I do also intend to put in a base camp so this can be used as a vacation world. That is how I really envision it. Oz is a place to visit. I might even designate it a future world.
I have found that playing with some of the better NRAAS mods is the only way to go. If you try to play a specialized world like this without one it just doesn't work. It just ends up looking and feeling like every other EA world and that is now what I am after.
