On to the Story


At the beginning of time there was nothing, nothing but darkness.  No land and no seas. This darkness was without form or void.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg353.imageshack.us%2Fimg353%2F4997%2Fimage001vt9.jpg&hash=4d2e354f6f5d40ea3da31868c15d8bf7ed1da2f5)

A great voice shot through this darkness proclaiming "I am the I am.  I am him and he is she.  We are the alpha and omega."  This was the voice of our creator.  And the soul of our creator was upon this vast darkness.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg245.imageshack.us%2Fimg245%2F2710%2Fimage002ex7.jpg&hash=9eac19d168a77daa4001ab313623922069a61671)

Our Creator's voice thundered "Let us now create light", and with that light broke through the darkness and formed into the stars, sun and moon.

The Creator's voice thundered again "Let us now create a spring of life giving substance, and we shall call this substance "Water" " and water immediately sprang forth from among the light.

(In this Pic I am using PEG's Hawaiian Holiday Water MOD – I am also using the above space pic which I modified to use as my background pic for my cities.  I learned about doing this in the Omnibus Section)


Again, the voice of our Creator spoke "Now let us create land that we may walk upon it" as these words were spoken, fire spilled forth from the midst of the water and started to form land.

For the Terraforming I am using SC4 Terraformer (http://www.simtropolis.com/modding/index.cfm?p=details&id=391)  This is an extremely great tool!  One of the best ever made.  Thanks to wouanagaine and his team for creating this wounderful product.

Here are the pics.

The great voice of our creator continued to speak "Let the land bring forth life" trees and grass then sprouted forth from the earth.  "And let the Earth put forth living creatures to roam upon the Earth."

Seeing all that they had created together they were joyful.  "Let us now be fruitful and bring forth children, and we shall call these children "Mayors" and unto them we shall give dominion over the land and the seas and they shall bring forth children which shall be called "Sims", to be helpmates to our Mayors and to help them care for the land and the seas."

Hence, they came together and begat -

Azna - goddess of earth
Cogln - god of food
Megalla - god of light
Fantasia - goddess of love
Sabu - god of power
Azul - god of war
Nafar - goddess of peace
Ryna - goddess of water
Isis - goddess of wealth
Jafar - god of health
Istar - god of safety
Nabru – goddess of fire
Ruto – goddess of wine
Bail – god of the underworld
Enya – goddess of music
Rantool – god of fuel
Oswego – god of knowledge
Mazar – god of death


So far that is it.  I hope to post the start of my first city tomarrow.

MsD sweeeeeet i loved that and very differnt start here to a Mayors Diary.
That terraforming of that map you made is just awsome wow great work and
i will be looking for your next update - pat

Yes, I agree, this is a very unique start to a MD - sort of a hybrid between classical polytheistic mythology and Christian creationism.

For the most part, nice terraforming, though the laws of physics tell me that middle river in both region pics would probably not exist, unless the Creator said that water could flow against gravity :)

-aaron

While I do prefer "In the beginning there was nothing...

BANG!

... and then there was the universe."

This is most definitely a unique and interesting start to an MD! So, a huge kudos for innovativeness, and on top of that, for it looking great too!

Good luck with this one, and I'll be checking in regularly (as time permits) and following this story with a hawk eye!  :P

Regards,

Unique introduction.  :thumbsup:

OK to answer a few thoughts and maybe point it out in my opinion is that,
i belive this is the river in question about flowing, far as i can see it does cut
deep down into the valley and so thus forth it flows pretty good.  MsD am i
correct in that assumption?

Quote...sort of a hybrid between classical polytheistic mythology and Christian creationism.

Whoa!  And I was just going to say that I thought it was cool...

A finely wrought kickoff backstory, great pics (the first one was a little underexposed, though- all I could see was black), nifty terraforming- and a million places to head from here.

MsD, good luck!  It's great to see VotG on SC4D.


David

Actually Pat brings up a good point - that SC4 does not have any method of surface-level water like previous games.  So, yes, I was wrong in saying that about the water, but from such a distance it looks like the water goes uphill.

Even still, it still looks a bit strange - wouldn't the river naturally want to take the easiest route?

-aaron

Wonderful start, MsD! A very creative twist to the beginning of your MD's universe! Your region looks fantastic, too. I can't wait to see how you develop it!

Thanks to all who have posted and replied.

I thought they were talking about the section that "Y's" to the left.  I have a plan for that area involving PEG's Ponds.

The part that goes through the hills does look like it is flowing up hill from a distance.  A closer view in the game shows that it flows nicely through a canyon.

I am sorry that I am unable to post an update.  I was looking for something particular that I wanted to start my city out with but I was unable to find what I was looking for.  Therefor, I have been creating textures and working on a BAT all day.  I should be finished tonight and able to put it in a city tomarrow.

Thanks again.

Man what great Azul-dammed beginning.      I mean, holy mother of Oswego, could it get any kooler than that.   I might be cast down to see Mazar but Azar be praised this is great.    ;D   I love it.

Great start MsD ! I like your terrraforming

Do you gonna take a brake after the 6th days Lol  ;D Great start . Looking forward.

Simply wonderfull!

I really like your beginning, it is in my opinion very original. but hey that has been said a zillion times by now.

Whats really funny is how you compare a monotheistic universe creating with a polytheistic pantheon. wich will obviously rule this creation. so where did the voice go?

just curious, about that. Good luck with this MD

Strech.

Yippeeeee MSD is up the CJ ballpark!!!  &dance &dance &dance &dance The story and all is Magnificent!  &apls

What a fantastic start to an MD, truly unique. I'll be watching this develop, very very promising indeed

Okay, ma'am... Break time's over!  This reader is (and judging by the comments of others- many other folks, too) anxious for more.

Great start- eagerly watching for what's next.

Definately a tremendous and unique start. love the terraforming :)

looking forward to more  :thumbsup:

Yes! More, more, more! :P

Welcome my friends.  Thank you to all who have posted.

My heart felt apologies to all who have been waiting for an update.  I currently have quite a bit going on in real life at the moment and I haven't had much time for playing the game.

I, also, was wanting to create some plopable gravel and brick roads for the start of my first city.  However, I found that I am unable to make a lot that is transit enabled and plop them next to each other.  I know that there are some lots out there that look good and the creators did an outstanding job on them but they are not transit enabled.  This is what I was wanting.  Trolca has created some dirt and brick street textures which look awesome yet the draw back to using these (as you will see) is that you get a strange mix of dirt, brick and concrete roads.  Not to pleased with this, so I even tried to create something that would complement these textures.  Again, I was unable to do so.

With all of this lot creating and testing I was doing, dummy me failed to make a backup copy of my region or make a new region for testing purposes.  What an idiot I am.  DUH!!!!!!!!!!!   I won't do that again.

So, needles to say, the nice looking region I had started with ended up looking like junk and I never could get it back to its former beauty.  Therefore, I created a new region.  It looks somewhat similar to the original yet different.  A little larger for sure.

The story line is the same as when I started, though I will have to come up with some more gods.  LOL.

Here is the new Region.

On to the Story.

Azna, the first born, being filled with joy, immediately began to cultivate the land and bringing forth children to help her care for the earth.  Teaching her children well, Azna showed them how to create roads and lay out areas for homes.


(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg507.imageshack.us%2Fimg507%2F5700%2Fmsd0059sg4.jpg&hash=e919a9c084e70c8570272aa7a9ff9c144eec53cb)(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg507.imageshack.us%2Fimg507%2F319%2Fmsd0060ow0.jpg&hash=48044c4478cc73fb0d9b4b0f0a10e95857d5ccef)

Her children learned quickly and began to grow food and build homes and business.  (As you can see, I am using Trolca's Dirt and Brick street MOD.  Located on the STEX (http://www.simtropolis.com).  It is the best thing I can come up with for the country look I am wanting.)

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg511.imageshack.us%2Fimg511%2F1731%2Fmsd0064wa2.jpg&hash=b27c16826ef04762f5e459de3df28b4cb0ad29c9)

Being loving children, they want the best for their mother, Azna, so they built her a home where she can govern and oversee all they do.
(This is just the in game Mayor's house, however, though hard to see because of the trees, the ground textures are from the retaining wall pack that I uploaded to the STEX a while back.  I have since locked that file due to some problems with the texture ID's.  I believe I have them worked out but I am still testing.)
(The pine trees that are behind the Mayors house are PEG's Mayor mode Pine Trees.  You can get them here (http://simpeg.com/forum/index.php).)

Here is a better view of the grass lot I mentioned above.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg166.imageshack.us%2Fimg166%2F8335%2Fmsd0067pu1.jpg&hash=58b56a205a7890825eac893025a98621e023c038)



It is a 1x1 lot that forms to the terrain and it adds $25 a month in income to your budget as a business deal.

You can plainly see what I was talking about above concerning Trolca's street MOD.  I have brick going to dirt and back to brick with some concrete thrown in for good measure.  I love the texturing of the streets, but getting them where I want them is something I am yet to figure out.

I this picture, I am using the Extra cheats .dll file which was talked about in a thread on ST.  I found the link for it towards the bottom of page 8.  I allows me to have snow in the mountains without setting my system date to 12/25.

That's all for now.  Not much.  Very simple start.

There's nothing worse than losing all that hard work :'(

But you've recovered  :) and I will be interested to see how the region develops.

Nice start with the rural town. Look forward to the next update.

Very unique start, I love it.

Glad to see you're back, MsD! Your farms look great, as do the cliffs in your last picture, and I love those retaining walls that you've made! I'll be looking forward to seeing more, my friend!

rooker1 Thank you so much.  I am glad you came to visit.  I hope I will be able to keep it up.

thundercrack83: Thank you.  It is great to be back doing what I enjoy doing.  I just hope that R/L does not interrupt me again.  I have some other lots that I have created and will be using in the future so stay tuned.  I hope you enjoy them.

bat:  Thank you.  If you like my farms make sure you look at the new one that is in this update.  I can't take the credit for it.  Another member created the farm, and yes they get all the credit.  LOL


The Update:

Welcome my friends.  During this past week I have spent quite a bit of time on line searching for different types of lots that I can use in my CJ.  There are so many great things out there that it was difficult to choose what I wanted to use.  I hope everyone will be pleased with the choices I have made.  I will do my best to put in a link to all files that I am using with one exception, that being anything that I have created myself.

As Azna continues to nurture and teach her children she convinces them to cross the river as they expand and grow her city.  Go forth and be abundant.


In the picture you see the first bridge developed for crossing the river.  The tiles on both sides of the road are, again, from my retaining wall pack.  I personally believe they give some nice color to the area as well as providing a way of preventing erosion.  They provide a small park effect as well as help with cleaning the air and water.  (Note:  This anti-pollution effect is not that radical.  It has a radious of about 3 tiles.)  It also gives me $25 a month in income per tile, so with what I have used I now have $400 a month in income as a business deal.

The ability to be abundant is based, in part, in the ability to relax.  Let us now create an area of peace and relaxation.
In response to the words of their mother, Azna, the sims set forth and created a river front park.

In this picture I am using PEG's RKT3 sea walls.  They are located here (http://simpeg.com/forum/index.php) or on the STEX (http://www.simtropolis.com/) search for pegasus.
I decided to use the Lot package because it came the closest in color to the retaining wall that I am using next to my bridge.

In response to her children following her commands, Azna, sent out her love in the form of life from the earth.  This life is known as trees.  Some bearing fruit and all producing the life giving air that all sims breath.

Again, crossing the river.  In the next two pictures I am again using my retaining wall pack around the road embankment leading up to the bridge.  This gives the same effects as the one above.
I would like to draw your attention to the trees surrounding the area.  I am using a verity of trees here.  I am using PEG's Seasonal tree pack (http://simpeg.com/forum/index.php), I am also using Dusk Troopers tree pack, and Jeronij's tree pack and Cycledog's Tree MOD.  All are located on the LEX (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/).

Another wider view.  This one is showing my air pollution.  As you can see it is minimal, this is due to the trees that I have planted as well as my use of  my retaining walls.  Since my retaining wall are slope conforming they can also be used as small plaza parks.

This wide shot is showing my water pollution problem areas.  I have never understood why the farms have such a high water pollution effect.  So I am using two of the in game water treatment plants.

Stay tuned!  Up next, the railroad comes to town.  And quite possibly the coming of another god.

MsD sorry i havent been around lately but wow awome last few updates here and i looking for more- pat

Firstly, in answer to your question regarding farm pollution, haven't you seen how much a cow s***s. :D.

Sorry, MSD, sometimes I just can't resist, well actually that's most of the time. That's not a bad population level for what looks like a small rural town.

Like the pics, and you've maintained that rural feel throughout the area :).

One suggestion if I may, perhaps consider a slope mode to avoid those jumps off the end of the bridges (jeez, I'm starting to sound like Nardo69, I hope he's not reading this, I'll never live it down ;D).

Good work and waiting for the next update.

Cheers.

Another great update! Fantastic pictures, too! :thumbsup: And I like the picture of that farm! ;)

Cool MD! I really like the famrs you've done...rolling up and down the little hills...very nice.

Loved the previous updates, the terraforming still amazes me, the snow covered mountains looked fantastic.

Really great work and look forward to seeing you develop this further.

very nice terraforming, just found this, looks good!

that said, i always find maxis farms slightly unappealing  $%Grinno$%

Very interesting beginnings (both of them). I'd like to join the crowd that's already gathered to see what develops, but be forewarned, I ask a lot of questions. (If you don't believe me, just ask Tooheys!)
Anyway, good luck with your new region.

Until next time...
Joan

You've got my attention

EDIT: didnt see the update :P Nice work... Though not as spectacular as the first post :P
