Happy Tuesday All - I hope you all enjoyed your weekend (and hope it was a nice long 3 day weekend like mine.)
I wanted to stop in and update you on the progress of PLF -- its getting there. My goal for the weekend was to finish off the terrain tweaking and painting so I could place all the spawners and trees placed, etc but it didn't quite work out that way.
After spending 8 hours on Saturday tweaking and tweaking I decided I HATED the mountains, hated the First Beach area and hated the place(s) where I had thought to place the meadow (it moved four times on Saturday).
I basically started Sunday by deleting all the trees and terrain paint and wiping out the mountains and starting it over. By 6 PM yesterday I was thoroughly sick of CAW but I had the terrain in a place I was accepting of, the basic terrain paint down again and all the "new" lots (except the Meadow -- still not sure where it will go) placed.
My goals for the rest of the work week are:
#1 Take my midterm and hopefully get an A (since I spent this weekend playing in CAW and not studying -- bad me. Good thing the class is not that hard)
#2 - Finish finessing and fixing the "Farm" area, including the stuff I messed up when editing the terrain.
and finally
#3 - Go through the areas I had designated as "finished" and make sure I didn't mess anything up when I messed with the terrain / height map and terrain painting.
If I manage to get all that done and still have time this week, I will go back to working on
1.) the festival lot(s) in the national park (one of the finished areas that needs double checking)
2.) Add a base level of trees and spawners to the world and start taking some screen shots to share. :) :-) :wink:
3.) the Equestrian Center lots (I have 1 more indoor ring, and 2 outdoor rings to finish.
Well, that is it.
I do have one request -- anyone interested in doing some interior decorating and landscaping? My house are starting to have Stepford interiors and I am not liking that at all!
