Well, I had the pleasure of playing this world last night for a few hours so wanted to post back with a bit of feedback.
First things first...
Diskette86, there are no limits to how many worlds you download or play, so I hope you enjoy Saskan Harbour and please don`t (as Regina has mentioned) hesitate to mention if you experience any problems. Main thing is though...enjoy it.
Well, Johnny, you've managed to shave 20 years off my age with the name you are referring to me as ... so that equals = I love you :-D LOL
First of all, very nice world. I did not experience any problems whatsoever in either the homes, the maps, the community buildings. I do like how you have customized some of the community buildings to be more unique, also liked how you have areas of housing grouped (log cabins in one part of the map, more suburban houses elsewhere), I also very much like the design and decor of the homes and the more than adequate descriptions for most. The only thing I wasn't really crazy about is that figuring out how many bedrooms at a glance from the main map isn't always easy (some homes have no description but all seem to be 2bedrooms) and some you have to read a paragraph and add them up! lol I also appreciated the level of detail in some spots - such as the little cabin out on the island by the campground with the boat. At first I wondered well how can you get out to that? But I guess it's just for more detailed realism. I ended up moving it inland so I could play it but I did like it while it was out there too, kinda cute idea.
The only thing that I am finding difficult at all about your world (and it's minor) is panning the overall map. The map is quite large and some of the housing is sporadically placed, so I find I am overlooking available or populated homes sometimes when I 'make my rounds' around the map. That's probably some weird neurotic thing with me but usually I kinda get into a groove of left to right or in a circle to make sure I cover all bases. Sim Outlaw's Alpine Shores kinda drives me crazy in this respect too but for a different reason - I like to pan smoothly in along the mapline, but with his world, you hit hard edges and have to pan back in then resume. Not sure if this is making any sense, but anyway....
You have a really nice world, am enjoying it very much. The homes and lots especially are one of the best features of this world. They may not scream look at me but once you are actually playing and inside them, you realize how much detail they hold. Thanks for a wonderful job. :thumbup:
