Currently Junceda, Tangie, JodiRebby, Amonovas, Nilxis and me are building a Mexico-themed world with an urban area based on Coyoacan (a district of Mexico D.F.) adjoining a nearby market town, and a coastal area based on Campeche. Ancient ruins based on Olmec, Mayan, Teotihuacano, and Aztec culture will be added also.The landscape will be green and tropical.Current EP's Being used:World AdventuresAmbitionsLate NightGenerationsPetsShowtimeSupernaturalUniversity LifeIsland Paradise(Seasons will later be added to this list)Store content: Monte VistaNo SP contentNo CC, however recolors will be used.

Current lot assignments in Beta world:Lot numbers are assigned in Roman numerals:Junceda:JodiRebby: V , XIII Both are Coyoacan-based urban homes.Tangie:Nilxis: Goldysch: Apt XXIhttp://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/media/shard000//shard000/287/368/016/00/screenshot_original.jpg

Junceda, that is just incredible!Tangie, in my own search for pictures, I have stumbled upon what you are looking for I think. :oops: It's the blue one. Finding some pics can be hard, yeah.My preliminary pic. *Might be subject to constant and drastic change :roll:*.

I am much more happy with this one I think. :P Hmm ... this orangey colour works really well. Closer look. What do you guys think?

Junceda, hello! Love the pics, especially the ones with paper-folding! :) Can't wait to see your Palace of the Fine Arts when it's good and ready! :thumbup: And the art deco stairs. After some experimenting, I think I've finally got a dirty plaster look that's also subtle. :mrgreen: Dirty plaster in red. Red works really well, so there's a lot of red everywhere. I think I'm going to name this lot Red House. For those of you who know Spanish, if you think it's a good name, you can translate it into Spanish and that will be the lot's name. (: Front of the house. Think the windows really fit here. Tiles! This is coming along nicely I think. Everyone, I'm off on a holiday soon so I'll be gone for about a week. I might still be able to work on this world during a spare moment. :XD: Feedback is always welcome. And any ideas for names too!

Hmm hmm ... okay. On it! Haha I did wonder whether there's too much tile work or not in one place. :P Positively dreamy. I think this one's a winner. Thanks, Zach, for all the suggestions and help!

Hi guys! It is gonna be wonderfull!

Hope you like it but please point anything wrong that you can see. I think I will work tomorrow on the inside to clean my mind before I finish the outside.

Have a good time simmers

Nilxis, you are the undisputed master of CFE, I swear. That is probably the most beautiful version of a church ever made for this game, in my opinion. There's been a few here and there, but this definitely takes the cake, bakes a new cake, and takes that cake too. I can go on. It would take at least seven cakes.

Well here's what I have done so far on the Bazaar:

Part of what I liked about Mexico is how obnoxiously different things would be put in extremely close proximity. I think it adds so much to the adventure, that you find things where you would never think to look!

In this case, for the Bazaar, I've put a bowling alley/arcade/game room right next to a cozy book merchant! I think it's a lively concept that wouldn't be accepted in the U.S. or Western Europe.

Oh goodness. I'm sorry to hear that and I hope things turn out well for her!

I'll be heading out of town this Saturday and won't return for over a week, so I wanted to get the house uploaded for you. Finally managed to get it done this evening! Link to Exchange download is here:

Casa de Alegria

I intend to keep tabs on the forums while I'm gone but may not get much simming done, so I'll just be quietly cheering everyone on from afar. :-)
