Tales at TeaTime

[Pat]

Evening Time my friend im sitting by my computer and enjoying yet anther wonderful
update here.... i love the farm walls... Congrats on 1000 post... soon maybe i be that
high up LoL

[Gaston]

Okay I'm gonna take a couple of guesses...

    The angled stone path is new.
    The cows and trees in the field.
    The seasonal crops.
    The wall along the newly straightened section of street.


Those are my guesses.

Some wonderful updates, TTC! A lot of great pictures! Fantastic rural area!

btw, Congrats on more than 1000th post, TTC!

[Gaston]

Hmmmm,   It looks like I am the only guesser.   


---Gaston

[Pat]

well i did throw my guess in there is Farm walls LoL... I was being sly 

[Ennedi]

Hello TTC,

Of course this area is much better than before 
Maybe my brain is overheated - we have 36 degrees (Celsius scale) now in Southern Poland  - but I can't see more new things than Gaston 

Btw, these cows - why they hide themselves amongst trees? Maybe they are in danger - see below



(I made this photo on Ibiza - these creatures are not very popular there, but you can see them quite often    I suggest to make taller walls and shut gates on this field  )

Got your cuppa? Sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin this update.

Ok then so what has happened lately? Well we all remember the shock of the possibility of TatTT not being anymore. The cause of that was the "my documents" folder becoming corrupted. I now know why it happened. It was the prelude to the hdd failing and a puff of smoke that came from it sorta gave it away too. Oh no I hear you cry not again. but see no panic got it all backed up on the other hard disk . Oh cant install OS on that cause it will wipe the back up. Hmmm New hdd, fresh install windows yippee nice quick pc again. New copy simcity also as had lost second disk grrr Hey result trawling thru bargain bucket at local pc store and found a copy of SC4 for a £5. its easy now just import everything back.

What missing dependencies, missing stuff - grrr ok tis not a problem just reinstall it. good job i kept the zips just about 2gig to reinstall and test test test and now its all back and working and ready for CAM     oooh cant wait to see the new stage farms- me want NOW

so back where we started and a nice fast game what with SUmanager3 , cleanitol, datpacker etc all working so well to make my experience with this game almost as if it had just come out on the shelves for the first time:)

anyhow back to TatTT.

Gaston:

Beautiful update, TTC! I love that single bridge crossing the river, it looks amazing. And the farms look absolutely wonderful! Keep up the good work, my friend!

[bat]

Another wonderful update, TTC! Great work!

[Russell]

Too seldom I comment your work, but this update deserves not only a cuppa, but also an applaud. 

[Diggis]

This is my first trip in here, and I'll be back.  Nice work, and lovely scenery

[Ennedi]

Your villages and small towns look very charming and inviting 

I like the Town Square - the Smart dealership looks very well, and it seems to me I see some nice pubs here 
Oh and this roundabout... 

[EDGE4194]

Beautiful updates- i absolutely love that village  Glad to hear everything worked out well with the hard drive death  . backing up has saved me many times....

[Strechnitz]

Lovely pictures in this update Teacat.

The rural villages do seem to have walked out of an old "England, this green and pleasant land" poster you had in the 70s. perhaps you know them. they look just as rustic, embedded in a scenic landscape.

Patfirefightr: It's the man who can work with water yo Dude thanks! Oh yeah so glad.
Still I had some conflicts but well on the way to a sorted pc also.

Do you realise just how itchy that sash was. 
They told me it was ermine but really it was polyester uggh    

Nice silk cushion now though  

thundercrack83: Cheers my man.I love rural and with all the great stuff about now it all
blends together nicely.

Bat: thanks my friend. Its always good to see you here. Thanks for taking the time to pop in
and have a cuppa:)

Russell: Maybe so but when you do its always positive. Thanks and for the tea too
I lurk too much in yours too but my feline gaze does check it out. good work you do too

Diggis: WoW one of the greats appears, I am humbled sir by your presence.  I do hope you got
your cuppa on the way in and there will be one waiting for you on your next visit.
Thanks , I am glad you like

Ennedi: Thank you. The square took a bit of time with the 'dozer to get right but worth it.
Pubs - always in my towns even if I don't frequent them that often nowadays .
The roundabout - Funnily enough not many crashes there. That tower I think may have something
to do with it. Looks right there too now that it been restored to its former glory

Edge4194: Cheers my friend. Bigger is better they say but i say small is more beautiful.
Annoying at first but I had a feeling when things started to corrupt, it was backup time and done
in the nick of time too. PC was down for 5hrs total

Barbyw: Thank you for visiting, yes I saw you pop in. I do hope you got you cuppa. Thank you so much for your help with the missing dependency. You were right first time and I did have it on my hdd but once I reinstalled SG Swedish villas all my troubles were gone

Strechnitz: Thank you very much. Coming from someone with one of the most impressive MD I've seen I feel honoured indeed. I have a great affinity for the outdoors. As you can tell I'm sure.

The Guests:Thank you all for your visits.
Feel free to leave a comment good bad indifferent they all count

Check yours ONCE A WEEK

A word of advice from the Swedish Chef

Ok for this update its really small sorry but to let you know what happened is I revisited Cowley to

see how things had fared since the reinstall and there were a few things "wrong" in the town. Nothing

major just a few missing plugins, nothing serious. One farm was wrong so out came the 'dozer which

cleared a nice space for the new Cattle Auction.



The following day, the first Auction was held and business was brisk with trading continuing well
into the evening.


Auction Day
EDIT: I had to edit here for some reason the animation will not work so have provided a link to it.
