Alba Ceann mu Dheas = Scotland South End
I'm not sure if this is really correct but it sounds good to me.
Well, a short introduction to begin with:
It was one day in June when I asked Franky / Framly for some props in one of his pictures. This was the day when we started to PN. And that was about the day I startet my RP on simforum.de. The story ended up with me creating some Corn Props in the BAT for Framly for the time being.
I wasn't sure whether I should open my RP here as I have never posted here so far. But I read a lot. My favourite is the "Winding River Project" which I discovered recently and which is my actual bedtime reading. Today I found my nickname in bold letters in the "Rondnoir / Beyen RP" and some hint from eufl to my RP on Simforum. First it made me a little bit sheepish &ops. At least it might be the right moment to open my RP here. I hope you like it. :)
Let's start:
This RP takes place on a map of South Scotland. The map is not scaled, but I don't care. It will not be a reconstruction of Scotland. It will be my fantastic Alba. Why? I love Scotland. The 3 holidays I spend there were some oft the best times I had so far. All those quiet places and the quiet manner of the people. The RP – first started without intention to publish anywhere – intends to reflect my wonderful memories of my holidays in Scotland. And it sort of reveals my own development in the "art" of SC4 ... :)
I tried to find Scottish names for some of my places. For those who speak Gaelic the translations might be a nightmare ... perhaps someone here is able to give me the right translations (?) ;)
Let me introduce Finola Drummond and Gavin Innes. The two friends took timeout from work to travel Scotland on horseback. The story will show their journey.

The journey starts at ,,Cobair Stables". It used to be the farm of a horsedealer. Nowadays it is a stud on which you will find western riders as well as those who ride in English style. Right now the first participants of a riding competition arrive at the stable.

Let's start southward towards Stranraer and Port Logan. Finola and Gavin pass this little Farm where Farmer McAllister still maintains some cows although he's already in his 80s. If you ask him, you might get some can of fresh milk.

Next our riders pass the fruitfarm of Family Morrisson. On their fields they have Apples, Peaches and a little bit of Wine.

The old gravel pit of Stranraer lies directly behind the gardens. Pit and Stone used to be cleaned and cut in that area. As it always used to be a wet pit it's now filled with water. People love to chill on the shores and go fishing on the lake.

I like your MD. :) Scotland looks at you a lot better and I'm curious what else is everything. :P I love your style in SimCity. :thumbsup:
Another fantastic and huge update.
Thank you for that link to Jay's seawalls. Not too sure how I let those slip through my fingers.
I would make only one suggestion though.....less pictures is some times worth more. You also won't get burnt out posting so many and will have material for another update.
Just a suggestion.
Robin :thumbsup:

@Uzil: Thank you :)
@noahclem: Thanks a lot for the heartly welcome. I pretty well understand that it is impossible to regularly visit all those nice websites with all those nice MDs. That's the reason why Framly at least was able to convince me to post my MD here.
@Dantes: Thanks a lot :)
@rooker: Thank you very much. You might be right with the number of pictures. I'm just trying to get up to date with my MD on simforum which I update continiuosly. But I guess you are right.
Let's continue with Finola and Gavin:
As promised some more pictures from the ride which continues passing a ford and a small grainfarm.

Mìle fàilte for the next update which will show the next two trips of Finola and Gavin who still stay at family Peebles' home.
To have some change in their activities they decide not to ride but to play some golf on the court opposite the estate of the Peebles' family.

There's also a modern watchtower from which you can sometimes even watch wales ;). According to legends there used to be a little landing for ships of smugglers.

Northwest from Monreith you'll find the destillery of Daniel O'Brian who is a good friend of Gavin. He bought the land with buildings that were totally gone rack and ruined and restored them taking great pains to do so. Today there is a little party on the occasion of opening the destillery for public – with an opulent amount of the best Whisky of course ;D.

Nice work. &apls
nice waterfall. Also in the last update, i like your combination of Tahoe and transparent water to create depth. I've seen this method used before but I've never been crazy about the look, but yours looks awesome. &apls
Your landscaping is fantastic. :) I like to walk with the horses. ;)
Great Update :)
Yeah, a really good update.
And this little trick with different ploppable water is somewhat useful. The Tahoe-Peg stuff lies a little bit deeper on the ground than jeronijs water. This gives some abilities for a good looking changeover between them.
Greetz, Carl
Great job on the forest, river and trails.

Quite straight westwards we travel to the farm belonging to Angus Moffat. It is a wool producing farm in the southern edges of the Galloway Forest. Angus himself has retired recently and his son has overtaken responsibilities. The farm lies along the old road to Newton. It is barred to normal street traffic nowadays.

The farm cannot live from sale of wool alone anymore. Moffat Junior, Blake Moffat, therefore founded a small business company that offers Wagontours through Galloway Forest aswell as tours on occasion of weddings etc. A coach and a wagon just drive of in different directions.

Finola and Gavin stay a few days before they travel on to Kirkcowan. It once used to be an idyllic village. Nowadays there's not much left of it. An industrial estate has grown around the station of Kirkcowan that once just was a station to handle cattle. Not much changed about that ... only that the village has become an industrial estate and that the small cattle station has become a big one.

One thing I did notice was the river is too high, the plop water shows up over the bridge. I would suggest that you make the river a little deeper.

@framly: Thanks a lot :)
@Benoit: Thank you :)
@chester: Thank you very much. :) I try to build the scenes in a way I've seen them or something similar in real life.
@noahclem: I have seen many many animals during my visits in Scotland ... there will be many more in future ;)
@rooker: Thanks a lot! :)You're totally right. Unfortunately I first arranged the landscape and I realized the "bridgeproblem" too late. So I decided to live with this mistake in order to avoid it in future.

Let's continue our journey in Ayr. Ayr is a small town southwest of Stranraer at the Firth of Clyde. In SC4 dimensions one part of the town is situated in the district of Ayr and the other part is situated in the district of Kilmarnock.
We start in the part of the town that is situated in the district of Kilmarnock as this is where the racecourt ist situated that just opend its gates to the public. Today is the first racingday. A friend of Gavin und Finola is CEO of the racecourt. It is therefore obligatory to them to join the first racingday.
There's another very special guest at the racecourt: "Sir Cookie"! He's a descendent of the legendary "SeaBiscuit" and he took the long journey from the US to pit his speed with Scottish thoroughbreds.
His ancestor SeaBiscuit was an unimposing horse. Actually much too small for a racehorse. His career was supposed to end before it really started. But this little fighter with the big heart nevertheless made it and finally set the world on fire. He won many many races in the 30s and earned a lot of money for his owners. He even won against "War Admiral" who was classified as invincible in those times. Being what he was and with all his achievements he became a symbol of hope in those hopeless times around 1928. But see for yourself:

The middlepart of the racepart used to be the stalls for the cheap places. Nowadays it's the place for traders of noble Golf- and Gardenarticles and expensive cars.

This last update was excellent, I really loved the fortified castle. But what I liked the most was the beach near the lighthouse, very well done.
Nice to put a face to the name.
The light house setup looks great, I really like the break wall idea.

That's where the farm Laogh Fasgadh is located. A legend tells, that once in the past a group of settlers found a group of young cows on the edge of the little river. They weren't shy and followed the settlers. After a long journey full of privations the settlers drew hope from this incidence and settled along the small river.
"Helen was the daughter of a small farmer in a place called
Dalquhaim, in the parish of Irongray ; where, after the death
of her father, she continued, with the unassuming piety of a
Scottish peasant, to support her mother by her own unremitted
labour and provisions ; a case so common that I am
proud to say, few of my countrywomen would shrink from the
duty."

Great update. I like the rail bridge. Is the water already released for download somewhere?
Wow authentic and complex performance is stremetsat you to recreate the ancient architecture and almost medieval infrastructure. I like how the final touches to try everything to the smallest detail. Really complicated, very complex task.

Congratulations on the OSITM! Well deserved!
As always very original an unique updates! I like the lighthouse pictures and the market in the castle &apls
An awesome update indeed!
I love how you used jeronij's culvert under the train bridge.

Nice rural town there! And great work on the river!!! :)
Phenomenal updates so far! &apls &apls
Your rural scenes are especially amazing! I'm a bit jealous of you being able to use that ploppable water already $%Grinno$%

@nbvc: No, that water is not available anywhere except on my hard drive. It's the results of some experiments because I was not satisfied with the available waters. ;)

Hello Theresa , :)
What a nice MD you've there ... who do we have to thank for having been persuasive enough to convince you to present your MD at Devotion , Carl ? Hendrik ? ;D :thumbsup:
Well , I'm following Alba Ceann mu Dheas at Simforum.de since July , as your updates aren't the same here ( and I prefer Simforum's version , where there's a lot more to see ! $%#Ninj2 ) ...
I'm most of all impressed by details which are your own props , always so original and lovely ( they're numerous but like , recently , these guys tilted on the engine of their car to repair it ... ::) ) . They don't only add life or realism , but some poetry too . I'm truly won , hooked and admiring ! :)

@Dantes, Carl: Thank you very much :)
@Cederic: I guess you can thank both of them ;) There's a simple reason why I do not show all pictures here. The "complete" Version of this MD at simforum.de mirrors my own development in SC4. First I was just playing with things that were already there. I didn't know much about the LE and almost nothing about BATing. I wasn't even convinced if I was able to come much farther than the first district before losing motivation to continue. But obviously I've come farther than I thought myself :D
The Alba-project has developed a sort of life on it's own. It's not just building but also researching history, poetry and so on in the meantime. It's just interesting to dive into Scottish history, poetry and so on. And as I am a lawyer, much of my life centers on facts. So I really enjoy to be able to leave facts in Alba and create some sort of mix ... let's say a fantastic story based on historical facts ;)
As I read about the locations that I already presented and about those I will present in future, it was not satisfactory not to be able to show the anker points of the locations as most of them are so beautiful. At least you'll find thousands of skyscrapers, industry buildings and other "typical" stuff on the download sites. But I missed those little white houses which are so characteristic for Scotland. We will see what future brings, as rural stuff is just beginning to be developed more intensive. So far most of the BATs were made for urban areas. But I needed my little white houses. And so I began to use the BAT ;) I did not show those little sequences (e.g. of my first BATs) in this MD here as they were in the past. But you can be sure that I will show future developments as soon as both MDs are up to date :)
By the way: That car-repair-scene is from Namspopof.

Great work. The selection of texture mods and houses fits very well together. :thumbsup:

Just discovered your MD here at SC4D and found it in the OSITM section... A little bit late, but congratulation! &apls
I follow every great update at simforum.de and admire your landscapes and LE work. It's amazing!
Thank you very much to have taken time to answer to my curiosity , Theresa , much appreciated . :)
We have all a personal story with SC4 ( and we've all , sooner or later , to wonder why we're so addicted ... ;D ) and I'm very pleased to see that we have a similar approach so I have and will have a particular interest for your MD and BATing work which is another way to express your artistic creativity ( and we can learn so much about our real world through our SC4 activities ! ::) ) . I think I'm able to recognize your own BATs , but it seems that I'm more confused about props ! ( I didn't know that « car repair scene » from Namspopof but it was only an example among tens of unknown ones for me ... $%Grinno$% ) well , that's a good decision to show them in the future , why not through dedicated pictures ( I mean with boards ) ? It would nicely enrich that already lovely MD .
&apls &apls &apls
I can see Namspopof's Sims on some of your Lots but I would be unable to say if they're plopped of LotEdited ... I've created 3 MMPs with them , available as a zip file attached at the end of my last post at AntigOne ( just in case ... :P ) , I've created another MMP with SFBT playground props after have resized them all ( 50% with SC4ModelTweakerv2 ) . Being a BATer you'll have to face the « scale syndrome » which affect SC4 custom content ... good luck ! :D
Greetings ! :P

@nbvc, noah, dantes, solsystem: Many thanks! :)
@badsim: Let's see what I can do for you :) I've already downloaded your Nams-MMPs. But often they wouldn't fit on the lot anymore due to the occupancy size of the Props which are already on the lot. So I usually use LE to set the sims. And even though there those very good tutorials (yours e.g. ;)) I will not start to scale my props. I pretty much think I'm faster using the LE :)
Let's visit Sorn Castle. A castle located in West Ayrshire, surrounded by woods and meadows. Here's an overview:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg192.imageshack.us%2Fimg192%2F5857%2Fsorncastleuebersichtbea.jpg&hash=7f434366e5278d16d16b3a2ba0a363d829b72e3b)
Sorn Castle seems to have a very changeful history as far as I was able to find out. In WW 1 even soldiers were trained on the premesis. Obviously there must have been a sort of military hospital or some other sort of medical facility. I found pictures but unfortunately no texts to verify my assumption. Well, I don't care as this is a fictional story. In my Alba there are some traditions:
Every year in the time before Christmas WW 1 – veterans of the paramedic and the parachute units used to meet at Sorn to remember those who fell during the war and to exchange memories. This beloved tradition is still continued. Of course there are noch WW 1 veterans anymore. It's the veterans of those "armed conflicts" which took place recently. As every year, the Soldiers listen to Christmas songs warbled by the military choire. And – same procedure as every year – a small group of paracute soldiers glide from the sky to land on the close fields.

Back to the journey of Finola and Gavin:
They traveled from Kilmarnock to Trabbochburn which is a spot that consist of not much more than a single farm. On that farm they just finished the grain harvest. That's reason enough to have a party for all helpers and friends. As Finola and Gavin sat in a pub one night they met the son of farmer Ramsay who invited them spontaneously.

You can see a technician from the hydro – electric power plant driving down whilst a group of tourists drives up. The woodpath is closed for traffic except for those vehicles needed for the supply and for horse carriages. Following the path we come to Doon Castle. Only the foundation of this fortress was left when a group of culture freaks was wandering to the ruin in 1980. The fortress was home of the brother-in-law of the legendary Robert the Bruce, Sir Christopher Seton. Fascinated by the changeful history of the place the group of wanderers began researching and they found this painting ...

... which shows the fortress about 1306 which was the year when Sir Christopher Seton was forced to flee from the enemies of Robert the Bruce. Fascinated as those wanderers were, they began to plan the reconstruction of the fortress. First it was nothing more than a crazy idea, but they succeeded in enthuse architects and sponsors for their project. And so the crazy idea became reality:

Travelling farther up we reach the place where a new Galloway Visitor-Center is under construction. Motivated by the completion of Doon Castle the administration of the forest decided to offer the accustomed comfort of a visitor center for the tourists which will also offer some rest rooms.

One day I sat in front of the computer playing SC4 and I had not much of inspiration ... I had this empty corner of the map and didn't know what to do with it. Talking to a colleage who knows about my little SC4-Hobby she proposed that I should watch some pictures as I often do it when I need some inspiration. But even that did not bring me any farther at this point. And then she said that concerning the circumstances it would probably a good idea to create the end of the world.
Well this was the idea I needed ... Many weird persons are preaching the apocalypse for this year ... but why preach if it's possible to celebrate the apocalypse ... but watch yourself ;)

The journey goes on to Cumnock. A little town about 16 miles east from Ayr. Cumnock is a workers town consisting of some smaller settlements. One of those is the one of the miners. This mine has also been closed and pupils visit it in their lessons about local history. Cumnock serves as a market for the surrounding towns and villages. On the market place there is a statue for James Keir Hardie who was a politician and one of the founders of the Labour Party. He used to live in Cumnock for some years as a journalist.
Cumnock also has a quite successive young soccer team, the Cumnock Juniors.

Travelling on, Finola and Gavin reach Sanquhar. When I first marked this town on my orientation map I had no clue about the interesting facts that this little town offers:
1. It is said tob e home of the oldes post office in the world (as some say) or Great Britain (as others say) – sorry there will be no pictures ;)
2. There is a ruin, which probably became part of the name of the town. Sanquhar comes from the gaelic word "Seann Cathair" which means "old seat".
3. William Wallace and Robert Burns where here. I seriously think of only telling you where they have NOT been in future ;)
4. Sanquhar became quite an important market place for wool in the 18th century. Every year in July there was a market which regulated the wool prices in Scotland. There even is a kind of knitting pattern in blue and white which is called "Sanquhar knitting". The knitting is not conducted industrially anymore but the tradition of knitting is still alive.
5. There is another tradition that I discovered when I did my researches. I'll show you .... :P
But let me show you all this in pictures:
We start at Kyle Castle close to Cumnock. It's a ruin nowadays but I decided to recreate it. The example for this was Coxton Tower which is originally Situated close to Elgin north of Aberdeen. It assumed that the castle was built in 16th century. Around 1535 there was an Act of Parliament which obliged all land owners owning more than a certain amount of land to build a tower to defend their land.

The A76 circles around ,,Tollbooth House". According to my researches it was a prison at some time. Today it is a museum showing local history and tradition as knitting for example. I was not able to find out why this building is called Tollbooth House. It does not really make sense to me in connection with a prison. I'd rather imagine, that this building or another building which stood at this point before, was used as some sort of tollbooth for wool traders who surely had to pay if they wanted to sell their wool on the market. At least I do not really know it, but the position of the house (directly along the main street) and the name would point to something like this.

And then there is another beautiful scottish tradition which is cultivated especially in the south of Scotland: Riding of the Marches. Originally this tour on horseback was part of the defense in the broadest sense. Members of the towns and settlements rode along the borders of their estates to be sure that their defense fortifications along the borders – if there were some - were in best condition and that no English invaders caused any damage. This tradition is cultivated until today although there are local differences in the performance. Some pictures I saw showed riders galloping fast over fields but some also showed a mannerly procession through the city center:

Again and again: i love it! (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cosgan.de%2Fimages%2Fsmilie%2Ffrech%2Fs015.gif&hash=20617451fe301382a916bcf28b7f32b7ec79bd0a) (http://www.cosgan.de/smilie.php)

@dedgren: Thank you so much for the K-Point. Actually I didn't even know about those points. But when I asked Framly he explained the K-Point-Mysterium to me. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to Alba! :)

Well here's what Cédric called a "jewel" (Thanks for that expression! :o).
It's a "remake" of Drumlanrig Castle. My version is slightly different for some reasons, e.g. the original texture that would have been too bright for SC4. Beyond that I had to have an eye on the number of polygons. For that reason I decided to set some of the decorations aside.
Here's the Original:

THIS is a typical soccer stadium for regional league :thumbsup: Great work again rambuckel &apls
Amazing two last updates!
Great work with the woolmarket and this last BAT is amazing. I also like the regional soccer stadium &apls
Hi Theresa , :)
Due to its sizes , I'm impatient to look at Drumlanrig castle more closely , even if you decided to do not reproduce all details that's quite a spectacular BAT . Hard to say at that zoom level but I'm not sure about the roofs textures ( instead of terraces like shown at Simforum ) . To tell you the truth , I was prefering the previous version with grey textures closer to the real tin roofing ... and I think that you would have less problems of brightness . Well your BAT aroused my curiosity and I read a lot about it . Its environment and gardens would be nice to reproduce too . :P And , like many other scottish castle , this one is haunted by a beheaded woman ( Lady Anne Douglas ) ... and a yellow monkey ! Quite original . ;D
Great update in addition , the rural football stadium is lovely and the angle of view for the waterfall near the Burg Eltz is the best waterfall shot one I've seen in a while . ;)
&apls &apls &apls
Cédric .
Updates fantastic, amazing waterfall! Congratulations!
That last picture is beautiful and I really like the scenes around the football field as well &apls
Very promising bat as well!
That soccer field is really beautiful! Also fantastic work on the building!! :)

Thanks. I ended up finding a different one that I liked, but is very similar. Some of the blackletter fonts are almost illegible and yours (and the one I found) look great and scan well.
Also - another very nice update, love the bat, fits well for what you're doing here.

@Dantes: Thanks a lot my my friend :)
@kergelen: Thank you! :)
@Cédric: Thanks a lot for your kind comment and for your suggestions! :) The castle measures about 5 to 6 SC4-Boxes. It is not yet the final version. But it's good enough to be part of an update. I also had some very good suggestions from some of the experienced BATers on SimForm. I definitely am interested in every suggestion and anybody else will have. There's already so much work in this building and I guess the final version should come as close to "very good" as possible. I'll continue working on the BAT. Suggestions are very welcome! And you are pretty right, there's pretty much to tell about the castle. But I will do so later on.
@ricardomiranda, noahclem, bat: Thanks a lot!
@benedict: Good to hear you found something. Thanks a lot for commenting again.
The following version of the castle is far from being ready to upload. But – as I already said – it's already good enough to be part of Alba. Therefore ....
Welcome to the first visit to Drumlanrig premises! There will be another visit later on as there will be a big event. Just now there's preparation for it going on:

This is one massive castle! Though, i'm not really kind of the surroundings, I think it take away some of the beauty of the castle itself.

Here's a little teaser ... propably only the first in a series of teasers as I still have a lot to prepare :)
Yesterday I was close to giving up all efforts to create some new horses and carriages for SC4. But last night I somehow managed to create a carriage and pair that fits my requirements. It's not perfect in all details yet, but it's a basis for all the other models I still need :)

This is amazing!!! I love the small town feel! Its like playing SimTown but way better..
Tell me are most of the props custom?
@dantes, carl, noahclem, JonM: Thanks a lot for your motivating words :)
Still far from being ready, but I'm approaching my goal to create presentable horsemodels with carriage. There's still a lot to do but finally I found some textures for the horses' fur that match my requirements. :)
I still have to work on the heads and on the hind quarters of the horses. There's only one model of carriage yet but those models are the smaller problem. Modelling and texturing the horses really is much more tricky. :P
I'd be pleased to hear your advices or suggestions.

Slàn leat!
I can't offer you any advice but I think the horses and carriages look outstanding! &apls &apls Nice that there are multiple color options also. Are the sheep going to be your next project? ;D
The farms are looking great by the way! The only thing I'd really like to see added are HD trees.
Looking forward to more :thumbsup:
I like the realistic and romantic images of agriculture. :thumbsup:
This must be eco-agriculture. :satisfied:
Great pictures, I'm looking forward to more. :)
Great job !
@ Noah, thanks a lot for your kind comment. That's really motivating. Sheep are not yet on my agenda $%Grinno$% Actually there is another project of RFR that has to be realized after this pretty time-consuming Drumlanrig project. But maybe sheep will be on my agenda one day. But first of all I have to take part in realizing our plans. Otherwise my teammates would go nuts I guess ;D
@ dantes, ricardo: Thank you very much :)
Well, I just fumbled a little bit on the head and the hind quaters. And it went so well that I decided to present the result right away. I guess I'm really pretty close to final now. Those are the models that are ready so far. Some still have little "mistakes" which I did not see until I saw the models in SC4. But that's only cosmetics which will be done in quite a short time compared to the time it took to create the models as far as they are now.
There will be horses of different colors of course and diagonal models as well. So that's the result as it is today:
Wild horses in the park!

Welcome to
Drumlanrig Horse Driving Trials – Part I
Other parts will follow. But I will have to spend many more hours in BAT before I can present new pictures ;)
While researching things about Drumlanrig, I read something about ,,Drumlanrig Horse Driving Trials". The information about that was quite short but it was enough for me to take the challenge to create some sort of Horse Driving Event. The shape of the course is similar to a course that I drove some years ago with only two horses. I'm not able to drive carriages drawn by four horses alone. I need an instructor to do so and I am not actively driving anymore. But driving four (or even more) horses is quite tricky as you have to conduct the pairs individually. You cannot just go diagonal to go through a curve. In zigzag-courses like the one on the bridge or in the "Sheepersgate" the driver needs a lot of sure instinct to pass the course.
Well see yourself what's going on. I hope the pictures speak for themselves:

It's about a month after the last update. And that's about the time it took to finish all the stuff needed for this update. It's time to change the scenery and go to a place where I can use more stuff that's already been created by someone else ;) But Drumlanrig is not yet finished ... We will come back at least one more time =)

Slàn leat!
Boah! What nice horses and coaches!! &apls &apls
And ur Guinessstuff! :thumbsup:
Do we get ur props one day?? ;D
Great work with the horse driving trail. &apls
So much awesome batting &apls &apls
I really love all the new stuff shown and the presentation of the different carriages is really interesting! Now I know where they got half of the names for Cadillacs ;D
Wishing I could be at the horse-driving trials with a Guinness right now! ...Though I'm happy enough to be viewing Alba with a Koff (good but generic Finnish lager) ;)
Looking forward to more :thumbsup:
After going back over the 8 pages of updates I've missed, it makes me sad that i haven't had the time to check back sooner. I especially like the last few. those horse and carriages are amazing!
Wow, clearly one of the more talented people is at work here... Stunning!
Cheers,
Willy
Fantastic work Theresa! Your work is always very inspiring for us!
I just love your thematic updates :thumbsup:
I still work on the Horse and Coach-MMP...hard to choice of so many great models :)
Keep up your work :)
Awesome work once again, my last comment was true, your work its amazing, all those details, not only in the pictures, we can see details in every part and that's good for us, because we can enjoy with every update &apls &apls
What an amazing work with the classic carriages! The parade looks very nice and the scenes so alive.
Really interesting and different pictures &apls &apl. The Guinness bar is a great detail ;D
Without words &apls &apls
You definitely create the most complete farm and stable scenes I have seen in SC4.
@tb7, nbvc: Thank you very much for commenting! :)
@noah: I didn't know Cadillacs were named like these coaches. More will come soon .... ;)
@chester, swordmaster: Thanks a lot!
@framly: Thank you! For your comment and the MMP :)
@kelis, kergelen, ricardomiranda, benedict: Thank you very much! :)
I'm still waiting for some props for the next scenes at Drumlanrig. So I started working on some new construction sites ... So this is just a little in-between-teaser with some scenes I found while scrolling through that area:

Todays update has nothing to do with horses except the fact that there might have been some on the area of the mine around 1850 ...
This is the Mine of Coalburn. The settlement for the workers will be the theme in one of the following updates. The mine is a product of my phantasy. There really is a coalmine in Coalburn as the name already puts it. But according to Google Earth it seems to be an opencast mine in real life. And that seemed way too complicated to realize without extensive research and BATing ... So I took the miningprops and other props that already have been published and arranged them in a way that seemed to match a mining area which was founded around 1850 and which is still in service.

Slàn leat!
Wow, what an amazing recreation of the coal mine Theresa &apls &apls Just spectacular. I wish I had your ability and patience with LE ;)
No horses, but I was happy to see a little group of wild boar at least :D
Once again, just spectacular work &apls
Love the amount of details that you have managed to add to your LOTs.
Great job!!
Robin &apls
It's so wonderful :) &apls That's just like I imagined scotland to be! :thumbsup:
Great Update! i really like the small details everywhere ;)
Fantastic LE-work :thumbsup:

@noah: To be honest ... this mine area was originally a diversionary tactic to calm myself down when I was close to give up my horse project. I just knew I had to do something very different to be able to continue working on the horse model. So I had a lot of patience because I wanted to have an excuse for the fact that I wasn't working on the horses which I needed for the coming update ... So at least even this has to do with horses although there no horses on the lots ;)
@rooker, flatiron, framly: Thank you very much for your kind comments :)
Today:
The small town named ,,Coalburn". It developed from the 1850s as a railway settlement associated with the local mines.
In 1990 Coalburn was used as a location for the film "The Big Man" (british) / Crossing the line (USA) with Liam Neeson.
Here's my interpretation of this mining settlement with Saturdays get together on the church court after the weeks work is done and with a view over the local farm.

Slàn leat!
Amazing last two update. &apls &apls &apls
I love the props, rail textures and buildings you use in the mine. Great area!
And the village is amazing. The amount of props and details, the area of the church with tables, the stables and the fields near the village. All is really beutiful and full of activity.
Love all the small details - you always show us something new and cool. The cowboys herding the cows are great (although not very Scottish!) ;)
Just some little scenes in between ... I'll give answers to your comments together with the next update ....

Amazing! Very beautiful scenes. &apls &apls &apls
Awesome job with the last update and teaser &apls You do such a perfect job creating small towns that blend well with the countryside around them!
I certainly understand working on something else when you're frustrated with your main project :D In fact I've been doing more MD stuff lately because I'm a bit overwhelmed with a big project I'm also doing. My MD project is getting too big though so maybe I find something else easier than that ;)
Best of luck continuing with the horses (when you're ready) :thumbsup:
Nice stream scenes. I like the use of sorchin rocks wich looks very good in this area :)
Very beautiful! &apls
That river looks great!
Robin
oh my gosh! :o i love this river scene - really well done! &apls
Fantastic Teresa ! &apls &apls

Slàn leat!
Beautiful work here. Love the British style, but I was wondering, are you using Irish in your title? It seems very Irish to me.
Beautiful town.
I like a lot the cementery and the church. Also nice rail station &apls
Beautiful detailing. I especially like the church and the graveyard. That's what I'd call a good detailed graveyard!
I especially like the street mod. I have seen it and downloaded it, but never saw it in use as much as in your images. Didn't take the time to test it myself.
It looks better than I thought.
please continue your work. &apls
Nice pictures, but it is all too British! But if you like it, it was approved! :P :D
I like Britain, particularly their food! And that's no joke! But the brick houses want me in the game and in real life, not just fallen. But it is there! hehe! I'm curious what will come. :thumbsup:
As always we can see a great update, I like this little town, the street mod that you are using is perfect and looks so good in your town, great job as always Theresa :)
Nice pics, fantastic job Teresa ! &apls
Just spectacular &apls &apls Everything looks great, from the industrial areas to the shops and from the winding rails to the rows of houses! The churchyard with the diagonal stone walls fits so perfectly and the flora is perfectly done. The creek in the second picture is also particularly nice (I wish I could make that water look that good ;) )
This update is a perfect reminder of why Alba Ceann mu Dheas is one of the best MDs around!
PS, halfway to the Classics &dance
Hi Theresa,
missed some updates here in the forums, what a shame! Nice railway station, nice little town, and a really wonderful church ruin! :thumbsup:
I can´t stop looking, there are too much details they grab my attention... $%Grinno$%
So i only have to say: &apls
Greetz, Carl
Edit: something i´ve got wrong... $%Grinno$%
Fantastic city, full of details and realism.
A pleasure to view!!
Robin &apls
I thank you all very much for commenting and I'll give you you personal answers together with the next update :)
I do not know yet, when the next update will be ready, but at least I had a little progress today. Some know that I've been looking for a house. Actually I didn't find one but I found a piece of land instead where I'm going to build my new home! I signed the contract yesterday. So most of you will be able to imagine that I have plenty of things to do and plan right now so time for SC4 is really short. But I pormise there will be a new update, soon :)
Thanks for your patience :)
Very beautiful pictures, very detailled ;)
Thanks to the SC4D-Team, especially Noahclem and Jmouse I'll be able to continue this MD although I had to have a little break! Thank you very much again!
I was busy planning my new home so I didn't have time to go on with my MD. But now the plans have developed, the days become shorter and I have time and creativity again for SC4 and I already have plans.
Here some pictures of Douglas industrial estate.

These were the last pictures from Kilmarnock District as the map is complete now. I really look forward to the next map, to new ideas, stories and so on. I really have to admit that these last pictures were quite hard to create because I really needed some change, a new map, new settings end new challenges.
When I was ,,desining" those last parts of the map, I remembered how many things were created just for this map. I really became a little bit sentimental and I hav
Framly for great cooperation and all his brilliant ideas and
the members of SFBT for helpful hints and instructions.
And I have to thank allof you visitors for your motivation, your helpful critiques and all other hints and instructions!
As always I have a "Map of the map" for you:

And RFR released the Maize Set, the deers and boars and we started working on our hay project which is not finished yet.
See you soon on the next map....
Slàn leat!
Wow, the slaughterhouse is stunning! Glad it has railroad access :)
Although I wouldn't have electrified that part, it's really rare to have industrial connections served by electric engines. They're not really practical to do shunting work. Then again, it's not impossible, of course.
Cheers
Willy
Wow, really a remarkable finish to an outstanding region &apls &apls &apls
A slaughterhouse isn't a very glamorous thing and you've somehow made it look beautiful. The region picture looks great and it's so impressive how many fantastic things you've created for this region. I can't wait to see where you go with this in the future.
A K-point to you!
I'm very excited to see a new update from you - and a fantastic one it is!
Nice to see that your MD goes on. Great work with the slaughterhouse. &apls
Great new update! &apls
Absolutely stunning! Your detailing on the slaughter house is incredible!
Nice to see that you are back. :thumbsup:
Wonderful Loting on the slaughterhouse &apls. Jestar's big industrial BAT are great and fits very good in your pictures.
Hi Theresa,
All well with your new house?
The new images are great, like your other friends already said.
As you might have seen my project is still not yet finished ( :-[ ), but I am still very happy with the maize props you made for me.
Can't wait to see what you have in mind for us.
Great pictures! &apls &apls
And could we perhaps expect some of you creations to be available on the LEX?! ::)
Anyhow, looking forward to your next project. :thumbsup:
@swordmaster: Thanks a lot for your reference ... I'm not very familiar with things concerning railways :)
@noah: Thanks for commenting and "K-pointing". A slaughterhouse is really not glamorous but I showed so many cows in Kilmarnock ... even old dairy cows have to go their last way sometimes. So it was logical to show some scene like I did ... :( I'll show happier places, soon :)
@benedict, nbvc, solsystem, art128, kergelen: Thank you very much!
@FrankU: Take your time. I can only imagine how timeconsuming such projects are. What you and mrbisonm are doing is a real big project and all the time already spent would be lost if you would not take the time to finish it as carefully as the project affords it.
@vortex: I guess the way onto LEX is still quite a long one for me and my BATs :) But Framly and I are working on a few MMPs which will be available on the STEX as soon as possible.
New District, new location, same country ... it's still southern Scotland. The journey goes on in the District of Newton Stewart and the surrounding area. As I'm still preparing the locations for the next update here's some pictures of
Autumn in Alba

Dogs!! Beautiful fall scene again Theresa and I could sure use your newest creation in Siilijoki ;D
Noah, these dogs are made part of one of the NAMS - Prop - Packs. You'll find them in LE searching for "chien". There's two different dogs.
By the way there should be 3 pictures. I checked the links and they are o.k. I guess there's some Problem with the image-hoster that I can't solve at the moment :(
Nice work with the autumn scenes. &apls

Lovely autumn scenes and great work with the horses and stables! &apls
You may want to redo the street intersection in the fifth pic though, those sharp angles sticking out are an eye-sore, or maybe that's just me. ::)

I'll second that! Great update again &apls The equestrian scenes, beautiful fall colors, and detailed scenes all remind me of why Alba is one of my favorite MDs. Keep up the great work :thumbsup:
I really enjoyed the autumnal colours there! Only Saturday I was walking around Liverpool's suburbs snapping the colours in the trees! This time of year is great for photography when the sun is out....shame the clouds are never far away!
The meticulous attention to detail is what stands out for me here. I hope you are rewarded for your time, patience and effort you have shown in the last update. Keep up the good work!
November is SC4Devotion's 6th anniversary and what better way to celebrate than a super special month in the OSITM section!!
Fantastic pictures of some of the best rural scenes I have seen to date and this is why this MD has been choosen to be in OSITM this month as out first 4in1 surprise! Each week will be a new surprise. It's always a pleasure to stop by this MD early in the morning while sipping coffee or any time of the day for that matter.

for your congratulations!
Well, I'm really honored being part of this "Special – OSITM". And I originally planned another start for it. But the BAT unfortunately unfolded its life of its own once more and freezed twice after 4 hours of rendering of a larger building. As this building is vital to what I wanted to have as a starting scene this scene is not ready yet. That actually did change my plans, but that's not a problem at all as I still have pictures for at least one more update in my storage. As I'm on vacation, I'll have enough time to catch up with my plans.
So here's my little introduction to Newton Stewart for you:

Remarkable start to your month. I love the journal idea and how you went about it. Your rural farming scenes are great, wish I could put together something like that half as good.

I'm still working on the next update ... in between here's a picture of Newton last Summer

Close to the spot I'm working on there's a stony beach. Nearly invisible there are 2 guys walking their dogs:

Beautiful update &apls &apls I really like the format you used for it. Newton Stewart is a great town and I can't wait to see more of it. Great start to the 4-in-1!!
The last couple pictures are also very nice. Very interesting idea to do a rocky beach like that. I hope you get your computer/rendering problems figured out :thumbsup:
Great first couple of OSITM updates. Newton Stewart looks very well put together, and I love the pebble beach - grew up near one and it was always interesting, and less popular than the sandy beaches nearby.
Edit: just noticed that My Little Pony is displayed on the floor of that bouncy castle - brilliant work!
Nice pictures!
The first one is awesome, just too bad about the bright maxis grass under the streets... :P
Congratulations Theresa for OSITM! &apls &apls You have created a wonderful MD with beautiful scenes.
Great updates of course... &apls
Congrats for the OSITM, really well deserved &apls &apls

@swordmaster: Thank you :)
@noah: Well yes, I got the rendering problems figured out. :satisfied: At least that's sort of a game of luck. The BAT sometimes renders without any problems and sometimes it doesn't ... But it's extremely annoying if it doesn't in case of larger buildings as the stadion tribunes ... :angrymore: There's still some little things to improve with these. I'll fix that for the coming updates ;)
@benedict: I loved the rocky beaches along the shores of the Baltic Sea most as you did with your rocky beaches ... they weren't so crowded. And yes, it's My Little Pony on the bouncy castle ... I had to find something that fits the taste of little girls and the topic of the update ... there wasn't too much choice =)
@art: Thanks a lot! Actually I do not love these textures but I don't know how to avoid them and so I decided to ignore them ;)
@solsystem: Thank you! :)
Well here's the start of my new project. You have the chance to see theses premesis develop. The jumping arena is just the first spot. The whole area on which the Newton Riding Center will develop is about sixfold larger. For this update I created about 30 props (including the different horses). Some are smaller some larger but it was fun :)

The festival looks like a great time :party: I love all the lotting and detail, as well as the nice sayings. Great job putting the facility and all the horse events together! And nice to see the new My Little Pony bouncing room put to use ;D
You're surely putting a lot of work in this. Very nice! Will need to mull over these sayings, though. Not sure I agree with all of them :P

Nice work with the Riding Center. :thumbsup:
Another great update. I really like that carousel - I can see a vintage car to ride, what else is on there?
Very nice. I like your lotting. Must be very time consuming.
Now that's interesting to see. I haven't seen anything like that before, good job.

@benedict: Thank you! The things on the carousel are actually scaled models of my horses and one of the coaches. I guess I'll put some more work into the carousel on the basis as it is now. I would like to "dress" the horses with saddles and bridles that fit the style of the carousel. Usually carousel-horses are dressed with colorful saddles and bridles.

Todays pictures show the stables on the premises of Newton Stewart Riding Center. The old part of the stable is the place for the horses of the riding club of the riding center. The new stables provide space for some of the horses of the participants of the competitions. There's a good tradition in the riding club to have a training of professional trainers for amateur riders. There's another focus every year. This year there will be training on quadrille riding. These brochures are available for those who are interested in taking part in the training:

Slàn leat!
Great work, it has been interesting going through this MD. Lots of very good BAT's.
Excellent work &apls It's very interesting to learn more about horse riding, competing, and training. Without knowing the purpose and origin dressage can seem pretty silly but now it makes a lot of sense to me. My hobby passion has been water skiing, also potentially very expensive, but we use clubs to reduce the cost and share knowledge much in the same way it sounds like horse clubs do. I really like the way you've captured the details of the events and the competition in this update :thumbsup:
You've put a huge amount of work into the graphics of this update - really wonderful stuff. Thanks for sharing it.
Great work with a lot of nice details. &apls

@kwakelaar: Thanks a lot!
@noah: I guess it's pretty much the same in any sports club be it riding, football, soccer or water skiing. It's more effective to share equipment and knowledge. In the village where I ride there's two stables. One has the larger riding hall and so we can use that for events during winter and during summer they use our cross country parcours. Thanks a lot!
@benedict: Thank you very much!
@nbvc: Thanks a lot!
Today a short update about what has happened in my little workshop in the meantime. I had to realize that trucks are not really mine but I did my very best.
Workers are preparing the arena for the jumping competition while the riders arrive on the parking lot:

Slàn leat!
Looks like people are getting ready for something exciting! Nice trucks and trailors and I'm very curious as to how the competition they're getting ready for will look! And yes, I think our hobbies are very similar, but football/soccer might be a little less expensive than horses or waterskiing ;D
It must be very cool going to a horse riding event, as i have not been to one before! $%Grinno$%
Hey, could you please, please give me a download link or just the name of those tiles, because they look so nice and I've been searching all over for them. Thanks, ()flower()

Amazing recreation of the horse world. &apls The "horse arena" looks great and the parking too.
Those horse trailers are fantastic - love the one with the Scottish flag skin.
And congratulations, your MD is number 8 for the year on BTT!

That looks exciting! I know absolutely nothing about horseriding, and the few times I get a glance on it (like the past olympics), I never understand who won and why. Like cricket, another crazy sport :D And I tend to agree with Noah - some sports are mighty expensive, others not at all. That's why football is so popular around the world - all you need is a ball and something for goalposts. But I take the most expensive part of your hobby is the horse itself? (Himself/herself?)
Cheers

Fantastic Updates, Theresa! You're are Bat-Artist :thumbsup:

So many hd horse props, amazing :o Well done :thumbsup:

@noah: Thanks a lot! Soccer and Football are surely not as expensive if you just take the personal equipment. But the maintenance of a proper soccerfield produces probably more costs than the maintenance of a riding arena for training and everyday use. Althugh I guess it's still cheaper than the maintenance of a water-ski site with some boats and propably even one of these constructions to drag waterskiers. But I certainly agree that the personal equipment for riding or water skiing is much more complex than that for water skiing :)
@sunv123: Thanks a lot! Riding events can be very nice even for those who're not riding themselves. Especially those in summer. Most of those events provide space to sit on some sort of meadow while watching the competition so you can sunbath while watching the competition and you don't have to sit in a row like in a stadium. The tiles? Do you mean those? http://www.simpeg.com/forum/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=640
I might have got you wrong. In case I did please tell me and show me more exactly what you mean and I'll have a look again :)
@kergelen: Thank you very much!
@benedict: Thank you for your efforts with the Top100! I was really not expecting to be within the Top 10 but that's a real honor.
I have to thank all of those who visit and comment Alba. You actually support my little project with their acknowledgement and motivation!
@swordmaster: Thanks a lot! Usualle the horse itself is not the most important cost factor. Horses can cost up to 1Mio € and even more if you take "Totilas" for example. And a sport horse for ambitious riders which has certain abilities, a really good quality, pedigree and education and which already has some experience and some rankings in competitions averages about 20. – 40.000 €. I'm not really familiar with actual horse prices so this is what I regularly see in the magazines I read regularly. But this usually is for the really ambitious rider who has the ability to start in higher classes. If you want to have a horse for leisure purposes you can get a really good horse for 4.000 – 6.000 € and even less if you have a little luck. The most expensive part is the maintenance of the horse (stable, feeding, medical care ...) and the equipment for the horse.
I tried to give some explanation about the rules of show jumping in this update. As I usually ride dressage I'm not too familiar with show jumping although I know the basic rules. But it was really interesting to read about the history.
@Framly, Dantes, Schulmanator, Solsystem: Thanks a lot!

Slàn leat!
Great details! And nice work on all of the extras you added in.
Slan leat!! :D
You're incredibly talented, Theresa. To make updates like this, you can't just be an average SimCity player. You've got to have much more going, not least of all a thorough understanding of this complex sport and the ability to explain it to simpleminded folks like me :)
Great work.
Cheers

Thanks for the history - I had no idea that's how showjumping originated. Great update - love the jumping course. I bet the horses don;t enjoy jumping number 4 with the bright red number 9 in their left vision!
The jumping scenes look fantastic. &apls
Great work Theresa &apls The jumps are fantastically done. It's awesome to awesome to follow the story of the sport and then the course itself to have all the background that went into creating the great scenes in the ceremony. And I would never have thought of that as the reason for the origins of horse jumping! Another spectacular update :thumbsup:
Ah, yes that's the one! Thanks! ()flower()
Great work with the info, I learn so much from this! :thumbsup:
Hmm, seems like Americans aren't as good at this sport. ::)
I see a great Horse fan here, probably someone who even owns one or more and participates in horseshows like this or at least has been around the shows a few times. Am I wrong? In Aachen?
Edit: I have just found and read the interview with 3stooges, sorry, didn't see that one neither.
We have a horseshow in my neighborhood, about 10 miles from here every year. The Cookshire Country Fair, as they call it here. I go once in awhile and watch my niece on her horse. I'm not actually a fan of horses, but I used to have a few standardbreds and quarterhorses on my farm which I bought on an auction, just to save them from the butcher. They all died naturally of old age on the farm. Now I don't have the time nor the room for them anymore, but I wish I could do that again one day. It was fun to see the horses grazing and running in front of my home in a pasture made just for them.
Great story, great pictures and settings, great props and I love the "horsy" details you add to the game. Well done and good enough to make sure that I come back.

@Schulmanator: Many Thanks!
@Swordmaster: Thank you very much for your kind words! Good to know that my explanations are understandable! I really love the possibilities of the game to let my imagination run wilde :)
@benedict: Thank you very much! Well I didn't really have an idea either ;) It was interesting to read about the history of the sport in preparation for that update. I was convinced that show jumping originated from any military discipline.
@nbvc: Thanks a lot!
@noah: Thanks very much! As I already wrote, I had my own theory where show-jumping might have come from. But actually that theory was wrong ;)
@sunv: Thanks a lot. Actually there are some American riders who are world class. Think of Meredith Michaels – Beerbaum for example. She actually married a German rider and rides for Germany but she's American. Ashlee Bond, Beezie Madden and some more. Some of them live and train in Germany or one of the Benelux states but they start for America.
@Fred: A warm welcome to Alba! Thanks a lot for your kind words!
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a good time with all your families and friends!Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.
His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
Clement Clarke Moore ( 1779 – 1863)

Slàn leat!
That is just fantastic. The jumpers are very well done - what a cool course, too. And in addition to that, some history lesson. Great stuff as always.
Wow, just awesome work on these last two &apls &apls I love all the different BATs for the show and especially that house (I assume it's yours?). A belated but very sincere happy new year to you! It's a real pleasure to learn so much about equestrianism and its history as part of enjoying Alba. I'm very curious what the new direction you'll be taking things is and will be awaiting it eagerly :)
Stunning update there! Showing off a fine tradition too!
The horse show has great style. :thumbsup: Very impressive and very English culture. :satisfied: Again fantastic what you've conjured.
Thanks for the great explanation, Theresa. It's (slowly) starting to make sense to me. Once again these props are amazing, as is your way with flora. That first picture is truly something to hang on a wall.
(You didn't answer my question from last update, maybe if you have some time: I'm quite curious whether that house by the lighthouse is a new one made by you or available somewhere.)
Cheers
Willy

@Swordmaster: Thanks a lot! :)As you can read in the reply for Noah, the upload of that little white house is already in preparation. So stay tuned.

@Swordmaster: Thanks a lot! The white house is ready in BAT. It'll hopefully be rendered and lottet within the next two weeks.
Biologists have found out, that not aliens were responsible for the mysterious damages. It was a vermin that delipidates parts of the substance of the trees. Some trees are so badly damaged, that they fall immediately if a strong storm hits them. As the forest is very dense they carry other trees with them. That's how these punctual damages were caused.

Wow, great job with the forest and especially the plop water! I'm like Swordmaster, can't get the hang of it. ::) But you seem to be really good at it! :thumbsup:
Keep it up, Theresa! &apls
Gorgeous nature and I'll echo the previous comments in that you did an outstanding job with the ploppable water! Also, the newsanker from the previous update almost made me spew coffee over the monitor!! Quite a hilarious head he has! In any case, keep up the great work! :thumbsup:
Delightfully awesome! All purrs from us to you for this one! :D :D :D
More amazing Alba scenes - I particularly like the people walking with the dog.

@noah: Thanks a lot! :)These guys are okay. They somehow managed to slip through the barriers. Fortunately they just walked along the edges of the area that's been affected.
@Swordmaster: Thank you! :) It actually tool some time until I had all the watertiles in the right order ...
@Kergelen: Thank you! :)
@sunv: Thanks a lot! :)
@vortext: Thanks a lot! :) I'm glad you liked the news-show ;)
@Schulmanator, benedict: Thanks very much! :)
To finish the Loch Trool scenery I'd like to give you a closer look at Glentrool Lodge. It's a guesthouse that's popular with tourists and day trippers as well.

Great lotting. I like the Glen Trool Lodge !!
- Jim
Excellent work once again &apls I just love the level of detail you're able to get into these pictures with top-notch lotting and good zoom 6 shots! One suggestion this time though would be to use different playground props or resize the ones you have--they seem very large ;) Keep up the great work :thumbsup:
Almost feels like OSITM here ;D (You're always of special interest to me and probably many others.)
I agree with Noah, but it's only the swing that seems to be oversized. Model tweaker is a great tool, if you haven't used it before.
Excellent work, as always.
Cheers
Willy
Looks like it's fun... wish I was there!

Great river and bridge. &apls
Great work Theresa! :thumbsup:
I really like the Glentrool Lodge - very detailed - a nice spot for families;)

Great scenes! The mmping detailing is outstanding, though imho the bridge is a bit too urban for its environment. Or maybe the city is hiding just around the corner?! ;)
In any case, the guesthouse looks like a nice place to stay indeed. Looking forward to more!
Fanatstic pictures, looting and BATing.
I love this chic bridge in the middle of the forest
It's beautiful again, Theresa!
Thank you all very much! I'll comment all your nice posts together with the next update on which I'm still working on. Due to real life building activities I have to decelerate a little bit :) Here are some pictures from my real life building site. Yesterday we had 20 cm of new snow ... so today I came across a situation that will hopefully never come back in future: 20 cm snow in my future living room =)

@Schulmanator, RickD, nbvc: Thanks a lot!
@Framly: Thanks a lot! It surely is a place for families!
@vortext: Thank you very much! Actually the bridge is in the middle of the woods. But that as far as my researches took me there must have been a trading route through that area at the time of Robert Bruce. And Scotland actually offers some surprises in its landscape. There are massive castles and other buildings in places where I could hardly imagine to find a hunters cabin So it was my interpretation to build a massive bridge there ...
@Kergelen, FrankU, sunv: Thanks very much!
I finally found time to finish Kirroughtree Visitor Center. Actually I wanted to present another spot as well, but I didn't have time to arrange the surrounding area, and the BAT is ready but not rendered yet. So I'll keep that for another update :)

I had a wonderfol roofing ceremony and even a rainbow showed up ... it was a great day!

Hi Guys, finally I'm preparing to start another comeback of Alba Ceann mu Dheas. I still have one BAT in the pipeline that hast to be rendered. It waits for rendering since April or May.
I'm really regret the long break. But by force of circumstances I really didn't have the leisure to go on with Alba. I lived in quite a chaos for about 2 months since I started to pack my belongings for the move which actually took place about a month ago.
My construction manager made me one of the best presents I ever had. He managed the construction so perfect that I was able to move on my 35th birthday. It was great! All the new neighbours came and we had a great party!
After the move there where still many things to do. But I'm quite settled in the meantime and I'm happy in my new home.
On Saturday Mozart (cat) an I got a new housemate: "Kalle" the dog. Kalle is a 14 months old beagle. He used to be an experimental animal in a laboratory. Fortunately there are some organisations which care for these animals and which are able to adopt the dogs which are still healthy enough to start a new life. I'm so happy to have Kalle here with us. Everything is new for him. Today he had his first day at the office and he really did a great job!
I hope I will be able to render my new building on wednesday. Thursday is a holiday in Germany and I actually plan a lazy day on the sofa playing SC4.
Glad to see you back! I am sure more awesome is coming soon. :D
It's really great to have you back.
I can't wait to hear how you have been and see what you are up to.
Robin
Thanks for the warm welcome! I hope the BAT will render my hotel without any problems so that I can start the LOT tomorrow. I really can't wait to play again and to try all the new stuff especially the plants from VIP :)
I just realized that some pictures are missing and I asked the provider about it and they told me that the pictures were lost in a crash of a hard disc on any of the servers. I'm really sorry about it and I'll try to replace the pictures. I still have them on my hard disc. But that'll take time and primarily I'll "produce" some new pictures.
Little leaves fall softly down
Red and yellow, orange and brown
Whirling, twirling round and round
Falling softly to the ground
Little leaves fall softly down
To make a carpet on the ground.
Then, swish, the wind comes whistling by
And sends them dancing to the sky.

Finally it's fall again and I really enjoy the walks with "Kalle". Fortunately I just have to leave the house to be on the fields and to start a long walk. There's just one street to cross on a one hour walk. I really love it!
At least I found leisure tonight to go on with Kirroughtree Camping Site and I took some pictures. The rendering of the hotel building went very well. I already checked it with Lot Editor. It seems to be o.k. When I wanted to start SC4 afterwards I had to realize that the CD-drive of my notebook was finally broken. It already showed some defects for quite some time but it still worked with the SC4-disc. But that problem is solved as well and the notebook is repaired.
@rooker just to answer how I've been. I actually had a great time building my house. It was pretty time consuming and sometimes annoying but retrospectively it was a great time to see my new home grow. It's a very special feeling to live in a building which you know from the first big black hole in the snowy ground. I've seen the casting of the floor plate and I know where the first bricks were set. I had sleepless nights when I had to decide the kind of flooring and the kind of tiles for kitchen and bathrooms. I wasn't sure if I chose the right things. But in the end I made the right decisions. There are surely some little details I would change if I could but overall it's a perfect home which allowed me to fulfill another dream. I always wanted to have a dog but I knew it wouldn't be right to have a dog in a flat in the 2nd floor. And now I have Kalle so my household is complete.
Weekend is coming and I hope I'll be able to prepare the next update! I'm really enjoying playing again!!!!!

Slàn leat!
Nice campgrounds. I like the VW van in the pictures, because it brings back memories of when I'd go camping with my family in our VW van. It doesn't run anymore, though.
Nice detail work with the trailers and the swimmers. Very realistic, especially reminds me of a state campground in the summer.
Welcome back :thumbsup:
Nice lotting with the campsite &apls
Very nice &apls
Great campsite. :thumbsup:
Beautiful work, Theresa!
It's good to hear again from you Theresa. Very nice your move went well and you got a new friend in the mean time. I hope you can restore those lost pics - nothing is worse than losing such great work due to lost images.
That camping site is great in your typical style. Looks like you didn't lose any of those ;) I especially love the pond - really picture perfect there - and the campers between the hedges.
Looking forward to more.
Cheers
Willy
Great to see one of my favorites return.
Beautiful update &apls &apls It's really great to have you back and I'm glad you're enjoying the fall. It's already winter over here :'( What's that beautiful water from the 6th pic?
Wow, new pics from Theresa, beautiful as always. :thumbsup: It's good to see you back, I hope in the Simforum too?

@APSMS, Kergelen, Gugu, nbvc, FrankU : Thanks a lot!
@Willy: Thank you very much! I actually was able to restore nearly every picture. Just some of the pictures of my house are missing. But they are not lost. I just don't have the originals on this computer. I'm really glad that I have backups from every update on my computer!
@benedict: Thanks a lot for the warm welcome!
@noah: Winter is coming here as well. Today we had the first heavy wind over here which removed the roof of the hut in the neighbours garden and we expect decreasing temperatures. Thanks for the warm welcome! Do you mean the water with the bathers in it? That's a texture from one of Pegasus' ponds which are available on the STEX. If you need more specified information just tell me.
@Thomas: I hope I'll manage to restore the pictures on Simforum as well. I'm pretty short of time but I'll do my very best.
Here's some pictures from the meadow in the woods. The farmer was informed that foxes were sighted close to the meadow with his sheeps so he decided to check the situation:

Looks fantastic!
Really great scenes.
I like the hint of story....Foxes in the meadow and farmer checks it out. Simple idea but extremely well executed.
It's starting to get cold here as well. We saw our first hint of snow on the weekend.....rainy snow for about 5 to 10 minutes both days. No accumulation though, ground is still to warm. Winter is definitely coming. ;)

Great pictures!
Last week it was still 24° here, but now I think the weather has changed for good >:(

Nice pictures !! I like so much the ambient in your pictures, it's always very natural and peaceful !! Btw I think the pyrenean terrain mod it's a better mod for your style of region, more european and more rural ;)
Cool pictures! Excellent MMP work.
I hope the farmers wont kill foxes, I like foxes!

@scott, Gugu, giraffe, nbvc, FrankU: Thanks a lot!
@Rooker: Thank you! Foxes in the meadow is quite a big deal in Alba's backcountry. Sheep and wool are not to be sneezed at in Alba's economy.
@Willy: Thank you! We're luckier than you. The storm is over and we still have pretty warm temperatures.
@kelis: Thanks very much for your nice comment and for your suggestion as well. I have used the Pyrenean on two other maps. As I'm not able to modify any mods I cannot use it on maps with coastlines as the mod produces beach textures even on cliffs. I tried the settings which the original mod offers but it doesn't really fit my purposes. And at least the grass texture is a little bit too "fine" for the meadows I want to create. I guess it's a matter of taste.
@art: Thank you! I guess I cannot promise that the farmer won't shoot the foxes. Farmers in that area are not really demure with animals killing their livestock. But I hope the foxes will see the danger and leave the place.
I'd like to introduce my new friend to you. His name is "Kalle" and he's wonderful:

Finally I can present Kirroughtree House Hotel which is the BAT which I already finished before the break. It was hard to find good pictures from the building so I had to improvise a little bit. But I think the result is nevertheless presentable.
Kirroughtree House was built in 1719 as a country mansion. It was originally owned by a family whose roots can be traced back to ancestors who fought on the side of Robert the Bruce to get back Galloway from the English. Poet Robert Burns paid several visits to Kirroughtree House. He was a friend of the owners.
Kirroughtree House belongs to a hotel chain and serves as country house hotel. It's situated east of Newton Stewart.

@girafe: Thanks so much! This nice comment from you means a lot to me!
@nbvc: Thanks very much! As I already said, I didn't have many pictures of this building. But on those I had it seemed to be a white roof. But you're right as this was my thought as well when I first saw the building in the game. As rendering lasts pretty long for this building I passed on without changing the color of the roof.
@noah, metarvo, sunv: Thanks a lot for your kind comments!
@vortext: Thanks very much! As the walls of the hotel seemed to be recently painted on the pictures I decided to transfer this impression to the BAT. I guess that's a matter of taste.
@art, kelis, Willy: Thank you so much for your kind comments!
Thanks so much for this 3rd invitation to OSITM!
I hope I'll be able to create some nice impressions within the birthday month. I'm still working on the next update. But I'm off from work this week and I'm really looking forward to play around in SC4. The weather is pretty unsettled and so the circumstances are perfect to settle back on the sofa with a nice cup of tea in the hand and some pretty good ideas in mind which just wait to be realized! I already have some BATs but I'm still working on some more. For the time being I have these two little snapshots for you!

Slàn leat!
Great pictures!
Epic pictures!
Beautiful bridge &apls
I want to see that picture with a steam locomotive (or just an electric train) going under that bridge!
It is always a delight to see you work here :D
That bridge is stunning :o I hope you're planning to share ;D
Theresa, I missed the OSITM, but now I can congratulate you too!
Well deserved!
I also like the beautiful House. &apls

@shroud, Gugu, Kergelen: Thank you very much!
@art: You`re right, a train is missing. But there might be a train later on ;)
@Schulmanator: Thanks a lot!
@noah: Thank you very much! I could surely share that bridge. But actually I don't know how to upload things and how to mod things so that they're ready to play for everyone &ops. Franky used to do all that technical stuff for me. I'm "just" tinkering the things in BAT and then I make them ready for my own use which is not too ambitious in terms of modding.
@Frank: Thank you so much!
Here's just some little pictures from Carsluith. It's far from being ready by now but these little scenes might give an impression of what comes next:

All those fine houses and MMP-able props and flora and shrubs....
I have been into Lotting so much, I guess I missed a lot of these developments this year. Maybe some day I'll have time to do some game playing myselaf again.
But that wasn't the issue here. Sorry.... Gorgegous images! Thank you.

@Frank: Thank you very much!
The following scenery shows Carsluith Castle. I have to admit that this ruin is not the best BAT ever ???. I had to realize that my BATing skills got pretty rusty over the time but I'm practicing hard! ;D I actually wanted to show the whole place today but somehow the nightlights of the BATs on the other lots do not show and I'm pretty proud about the nightlights in the other building so I have to find out where the problem is before I can show you the rest. Enough about these negligibilities ...
Carsluith Castle is a ruined tower house. At a rough estimate it was built in 16th century. As all those buildings this tower house has something to tell. It's not a place where any of the well-known Scottish heroes drank their coffee. But nevertheless there's something interesting about it which has to do with the protestant reformation which will have its 500 year jubilee in 2017 as it was the 31st October 1517 when Martin Luther pinned his 95 thesis to the churchdoor in Wittenberg. Carsluith Castle was owned by the Brown family in the 15th century. Gilbert Brown of Carsluith was the last abbot of Sweetheart Abbey (what a pretty name ;)) near Dumfries before the protestant reformation. After the reformation it was alleged that he hid Jesuit priests at Carsluith Castle. He was arrested for catholic sympathies and he was banned to France where he died in 1612.
The 500 year jubilee of protestant reformation is prepared here in Thuringia. I live about 60 km from the Wartburg in Eisenach where Martin Luther lived after his excommunication by the pope in 1521. And he even was here in Arnstadt where he visited the Franciscan cloister about 1506. I have to admit that I never tried to really understand the meaning of protestant reformation before I engaged in an association with the purpose to rebuild the Oberkirche. The church belonging to the cloister mentioned before. Actually I learned a lot about the meaning since. I knew that the reformation impacted global history. But that's not the thing which fascinates me most. The most fascinating stories are those like the story of Gilbert Brown. These little historic "home stories" of families.
So here's some pictures of that place in my interpretation in modern times:

Great job !! Sorry to didn't comment the last update, but I have to say you did an amazing job in both updates, making your own bats and lots, I think this is the best way to do our best creations !! Congratulations once, your MD is awesome.

This is really some awesome work Theresa! I love the ruins and your pictures of the area. I hadn't replied to your last update yet because I wanted to finish something I'd promised to someone else before I offered the same to you: I'd be happy to help you with modding these bats for you if you'd like.
I love the bridge and the stone houses. Very Scottish! Congratulations on being featured this birthday month.
I hope that bat is released

Welcome to Carsluith Farm. While creating the landscape around Carsluith Ruin the place seemed too empty. In real life there actually isn't much as far as I could see on Google but in the game I felt that something was missing. So I decided to rebuild the Farm which might have been there in medieval times and to add some modern elements. This is the result:

@kelis: Thank you very much!
@swordmaster: Thank you very much! I have some more pictures for today. I went for a pretty long walk with the dog. As temperatures have decreased very fast I was freezing afterwards and so I enjoyed a nice cup of hot tea on the sofa and finished the meadow behind the ruin.
@vortext: Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like these houses.
So here's some more pictures for today:

The next update will be out of the ordinary. When I watched the news a few moments ago I had an idea for a little scenery. I'll have to prepare things in BAT before I can go back to the game. Actually I'm not sure how to create the scene but I'm sure I'll find a way. So the next update will not be within the next days. But I'm really enjoying playing SC4 again so it won't be too long.

These last farming scenes look great! Really shows off those nice buildings. Lovely river and farming scenes from the last one too &apls

It is the versatility of the game and the originality of some Players, such as you, create with it that I love so much. Great pics, I see you spent a lot of time in this, inspiring me a lot both for play and modeling. ;)

@Noah, schulmanator, Gugu, FrankU: Thanks very much!
@Fred: Thanks a lot! Actually that's what I love about this game
@rooker: Wow that's so many flattering adjectives.
@kelis: Thank you!
Actually I planned something completely else ;D. I already BATed some buildings for my next planned update and I just wanted to look through the available props in my archives when I discovered these beautiful buildings and I really couldn't resist to use them ;). Actually I don't believe there's a university around Newton Stewart. First I thought about something like a military academy, but there wasn't enough space where I wanted to place the lots. So I decided to take the occasion to test some more Christmas props. As the university consists of 4 lots it was a real challenge to get all the lights glowing. Actually it was a matter of the right order in which I had to place the lots. As some props are hanging over I can just imagine that there is some kind of problem with the LODs although I tried not to overlap any LODs while lotting. Well I somehow managed to switch on all the lights. Around here we still have autumnally atmosphere but there's full christmas decoration everywhere in the town. Today I started the first christmas decoration in my new home. It somehow was a great feeling :)

That's absolutely fantastic!
I'm also completely into the Christmas spirit. Street decorations are lit over here, and I think it's time for some snow.

Charming update, Theresa. While I was in the neighborhood, I looked back through your last few updates, and the quality of your work is amazing. I especially like the way you've "decorated" the areas around the farm structures. It looks truly realistic, in part because vegetation often crowds in behind the buildings and around fences. Your approach to this element looks great.
I'm a sucker for night shots, and yours are beautiful with the Christmas decorations bringing a cheerful but peaceful atmosphere to the entire scene. And you're right about the beauty of the buildings you used. As you have done in your other updates, you've displayed them with an amazing sense of casual elegance.
Fantastic updates. &apls &apls
Excellent! &apls
Love the update. I like the fence in the river, good idea. It's the small details that make for great pictures.
Great to see the Christmas Spirit spreading. It has snowed here in Toronto Ontario a few times now. This morning I woke up to about two inches of snow, had to clean the car off and give myself extra time to get to work. We also decorated the house last night, Christmas tree and lights.

It was in the news last week that there will be protests against the fur industry in several German cities. They are planned to draw attention to the cruelties which animals have to suffer in order to give their fur for our consumption. It was just recently that a video circulated that showed an angora rabbit on a Chinese fur farm whose fur was plucked alive. I spare you the link! But that's just one of many cruelties happening on fur farms all over the world. Actually I couldn't resist to express my statement in pictures. Just to avoid misunderstandings: I condemn nobody wearing fur, angora sweaters or any other products made from animal fur. Everybody has to make his or her own decision about it. This silent protest does especially not aim against furs made by those who hunt animals for nutrition based on fine tradition like the Innuits for example. Due to the hunting on industrial basis these fine traditions are actually in danger as well. This silent message protests the production and the thousendfold harm of animals just to supply the fashion industry with fur for the mass-market.
That's what the press reported:

Slàn leat!
Very interesting news article there, I'm guessing that you wrote it? It was actually quite entertaining. :D
Loved the protest, very original and well thought-out. &apls
Great work on the previous update; the Christmas lighting and scenery turned out great &apls
I really like the unique format you've used in the most recent entry. The scene's are excellently constructed and your original bats really shine. We have a significant fur industry in Finland and while I don't much mind the reindeer business up here in the north (they spend most of the year wandering free and are primarily raised for meat, not fur) the fox furs they make further south are pretty disturbing. Best not to get into the details of it here I think but quite unpleasant.
Anyway, keep up the great work &apls
Your work is brilliant. :thumbsup:
The university complex is well thought out and very nice! &apls
The newspaper article is hilarious, surely your next BAT will be a moose space station. . $%Grinno$% :thumbsup:
Clever idea for an update, Theresa. The BATS are charming and fit right in with the theme you chose. Once again, you've decorated the area in your own unique style, and I think I could learn a lot from studying your work. BTW, I'm in 100% agreement with the protesters and their graffiti.
Wow, what a fun update! It's not very often I actually laugh out loud reading an MD, but in this case I did (the Moose census article was especially amusing). And the fur protest was nicely done (especially the signs.) &apls
Looking over the past few updates, you've clearly taken Alba to the next level Theresa. Anyone in the MD business will find it hard to match the quality displayed here, especially given your dedication to creating new material and the original storytelling.
&apls
Cheers
Willy
Well done, your MD has held on to the top of Ben's Top Ten this week.

@sunv (and all others who supposed that the moose text would have been penned by me): The text came with the template for the newspaper I just added the text about the furfarm. But I had to laugh as well reading it. Thanks a lot for your nice comment.
@noah, FrankU, vortex, Jmouse, Willy, benedict: Thanks very much for your cordial comments
I actually was really surprised to find Alba on the top of BTT but that's not my achievement it's your contribution to this project. Thank you so much for motivation, input and every other contribution! I appreciated all your comments!
I actually had no idea what I could present for Christmas this year. Last week was busy and it seemed as if it would have no end. I went to work early and I came home quite late. Conferences in the evening hours always cause problems as I need quite some time to calm down and to be able to sleep. Although it's always said that watching TV before going to bed is detrimental to a well sleep I have to say that watching TV is kind of a sleeping pill for me. As the program was boring I decided to look for a film and I somehow came across a film I hadn't watched for ages: Whisky Galore. Perhaps some of you know it. And while I dozed into sleep I suddenly visualized the setting for the Christmas update. I'm not ready yet but I thought it's a good point to give a small introduction:

Very nice! :D
I loved the whisky story, and it had me laughing because it could very easily be true. The Christmas Festival is a beautifully touching and joyful tribute to the holiday season. It will go right up there with my many other favorite updates.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, too. :)
Great update! Merry Christmas to you as well :)

Fantastic update, agrees very well with this time of the year ;D Merry Christmas to you.

Very very nice! :P
Simply gorgeous, love all the attention to detail. Makes for an amazing scene!
All the best this new year. :)
I should be lucky enough to find a BAT like this. :D But luck had nothing to do with the way you created the shoreline. That is pure skill combined with an amazing eye for detail. I think I could learn a lot from studying your work. And a very Happy New Year to you as well.
A great setting for a lovely BAT!
Rambuckel, that's another lovely update. Happy New Year to you, too - and best wishes for the Lunar New Year as well - it is the Year of the Horse! May it be a particularly good year for you, and for horses you know.
