Aurora Skies Sharing Thread - Submit Creations, Stories, etc.

Things to update in Aurora Skies:

This is something new to this thread that I will be updating frequently as I go along. Basically, this lists everything that is recommended to update based on all of the expansion packs we have been given, along with which lots to remove, add, etc.

I hope you guys enjoy this particular part of the post and get your creative minds working.

If a player owns all of the expansion packs, the following will automatically place itself into the world, and it is best advised to remove these lots in order to expand your options for empty lots to build on:

1. Junkyard
2. Consignment Store
3. Salon
4. Private Venue
5. Supernatural Hangout
6. Live Venue
7. Equestrian Center

Also, please download and install the Official Aurora Skies Festival Grounds created by SimGuruSmitty. There are two parks downtown that are EXACTLY identical, so it does not matter where you put the festival grounds.

30x30 x3

Ok. I took some pictures and a couple of short videos. I won't bother with the videos since I doubt my claim to fame will be as a sim videographer.

I deliberately made a couple that were bf/gf with a toddler to experiment with these things. I might show more later. My skills at taking pictures is marginally better than my videographer ones.

This time I'm sharing a video, well a URL. The sky on a clear night. This world could fast become my favourite.
