Project Fenbury
I recently reinstalled TS3 and decided to start again with Project Fenbury. I am somewhat embarrassed as I am not gifted with use of CAW but I am pleased with the progress I have made so far. For ba...

I have left the problem of uneven terrain until after my trip to hospital (currently postponed due to a fire at the hospital, I kid you not). So I have spent the last few days tackling the thorny issue of Fenbury harbour. I also took the opportunity to do more work on the Tudor area and Queens Square.

It's amazing how much better things look with just the terrain painted and some hedges put in. The actual lots themselves need work but this can't really be done until I have exported Fenbury and reinstalled all my store content.

All I have added here are a few lights which I found in CAW game objects. The view is of the business offices of Hinge and Brackett. I bet nobody gets that reference :) Still undecided about the terrain paint to use for the paving between the lots.

My main problem with the harbour is cutting a slope down to sea level. As is obvious it is very much a work in progress and I have taken the opportunity to redo the Captain's House by smoothing the very uneven terrain at the top of the slope.

A bit of landscaping is helping me keep a sense of proportion. I shall probably put some parking spaces behind the palms at the top of the slope. There is also further fencing to be put in so the sims can travel safely up and down the slope without standing there squawking because their way is impeded by rocks.

Does anyone remember the film The French Lieutenant's Woman? Well I wanted a quayside for Fenbury Harbour and more by luck than skill managed to fashion one out of the natural rock. It does look much at the moment but with the Harbour Master's Office still to go in, fencing, signs and lighting it will eventually look more like a modernish quayside.
