Neighborhood Landscapes (v1)
Neighborhood Landscapes (v2)

Posting in this thread for the first time.

I've been playing with building my own terrains for a while. I just finished this one and I have never been more pleased. I tend to favor very small buildable areas and I had to have a couple beach lots.

This was the result:


The beachfront area is totally flat and allows for flat beach lots. The upper area is raised a bit and also flat to allow for an airport.

As soon as photobucket stops maintaining itself I will post the decorated neighborhood.

I need a name for this little hamlet too.

nice job you guys!

I am starting to rebuild Pleasentview!!!

Jargon, that terrain is really nice. :-)

So this is my little neighborhood decorated so far.


I am drawing a complete blank on a name though. I can't keep calling this place Testing.

Wow, Jargon... I love your little hood!! And you did an amazing job decorating it! The center looks a little like a flower... (hint for name)

Babolat85, I love the shot of the train coming around the corner. Your neighborhood looks like a great place.

beeps, Great shot over the balcony, love the towers.

Jargon That neighborhood is wonderful, I always get stuck on names. Sometimes I try to name it with something to do what's in the neighborhood map. Very well thought out neighborhood!

Thanks! I'm really proud of it. I tend to stick with small lots (nothing over 3x3) because my computer is on the slow side and gets laggy with anything larger.

Nice 'hoods all!

Babolat: Great as always and a nice idea to put the motorway on top of the railway bridges.

Jagon: Nice, compact looking neighbourhood, I can never think of names either! If you want to go with the flower idea suggested by CinnePin, I thinks Florasville sounds nice.

Elwood (last post of v2 thread): That looks like it's coming along nicely, a good start!

@ amora_selvagen - Awesome rebuilding of Pleasantview! You've given me a few ideas (and inspiration!) from what you've done using Criquette's neighborhood deco. :D

I decide to play all new again...Criquette made Pleasentview less boring to me!! :D!!!!!

Babolat - Amazing as always! I love the second shot and the way you used the hightway pieces. They just won't fit in my hood.
Boolpropped - very cute! I just have to admire the crisp clear photos you make *green with envy*
Jargon - Very nice hood! I guess you don't have to worry about gamelag or wait for it to load. I try so hard to keep my hoods small, but when I'm playtesting them I think they could be much smaller. Good job!
Amora_s - I love seeing pictures like this, they are such a great inspiration!

Great work everyone!

Jargon - Your neighborhood looks so adorable yet realistic. It just goes to show how decoration can make a huge difference to a hood. I can't think of any names though, I'm awful at that. I've been mulling over a name for my own hood for ages. Maybe you could use a town name generator?
Babolat85 - Beautiful neighborhood, so realistic. I love the freeway thingy stretching on for miles in the second pic, and I love how it looks more like a piece of land than a little isolated hood. Most hoods look like a bundle of houses in a large empty field of sort, whereas your hood looks like one part of a much bigger world. That sounds weird, I can't explain it well, either way I love it!
boolPropped - I like that shot; it looks really calm and serene. I've never been able to set my neighborhoods up in such a way that urban/suburban fit seamlessly together. Can you show us more of Summerset (that's the name, right)?
amora selvagen - You've really made Pleasantview look really different, very nice! I'm rebuilding Pleasantview myself, and I like that instead of moving the houses around and such (like I've done) you've focused on the neighborhood decorations (which I've been shamefully neglecting) instead.

Babolat85, I love the highway and how you've placed the farmland! You always make awesome 'hoods. <3
boolPropped, I love your graphics, and the city looks amazing. :D
Jargon, that terrain is so cute, you've decorated it perfectly. I suck at names too, but it looks like it'd suit a floral name, as someone above me said. Good work on it.
amora_selvagen, that looks so awesome! If only Pleasantview always looked like that. I love how you've used things by Criquette. :D

Here's Milly, but I renamed it Riverbrook.. so here's Riverbrook. :P
It's still empty, but I'm slowly getting it filled up.

boolPropped Wow, Summerset looks amazing! Is that were the Luckabees live?
gonebynow Love Riverbrook! Amazing job at decorating it!

Babolat: Geez. You never fail to amaze me. Love the highway shot,
BP: Summerset is adorable, <3
Jargon: Its so tiny!! Very cute.
Amora: Love how you redid Pleasentview, very creative.
Gonebynow: In one word, gorgeous, :D

Amazingly awesome neighborhoods everyone.

bP: That looks so great. Especially with that rainbow. ^_^ Which terrain do you use?

Oh Guys I love to hear all those compliments....I am so in love with pleasentview at the moment too!!! :D
Thank you!!!
The principal entrance from pleasentview is the river...And the Missing Bella park (I am looking for a new name)

gonebynow and boolpropped - God those hoods are gorgeous

Gonebynow- Wow...amazing job!!!!

Wow - I'd love to move into any of these hoods posted here! Amazing!

Wow, third thread allready and some great shots too, neat! :D
Pity i can't find the question i've read few days ago in the previous thread, bus somebody was asking about appartment lots from my last pics.. I must say that yes - these buildings are from Old Fokshire 'hood and it's actually a residential lots since i have created it about a year ago when appartment life wasn't released yet
And Wildchild was also asking about a bus station from my last couple of pics.
Yes, yes it is - a bus station from my last set that is allready under moderation at MTS2 I even have another picture of it combined with a railway station



Hope they will not moderate it too long, lol :D
