More outstanding attention to fine details, my friend.

Sector D...the place to be!

Another great update!  I don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said.  Looking forward to the next update and the "click"!

Brilliant work Jeronij. It is very nice to see you playing the game again.

Looking at the cemetary I was wondering which cemetary lots you use? I like especially that gate.
One thing I am always missing at the cemetaries we post is some space for new graves. The cemetaries are so full that I hardly can believe that there is no spare space anymore.

At which point (I noticed that it occurs) do farms no longer develop? Does any one know that?

Keep on playing jeronij!

Hello dear Grand Canyon visitors,

A so big amount of such pleasant feedback, deserves a fresh update right now  !!!

Time to see how the planning is being done in sector D.

Biniaraix Sector D 04 - 01 The development starts near the school, just under the cemetery. I left the grid on, so you can appreciate the terrain's difficulty.



Biniaraix Sector D 04 - 02  Of course, a pathway must lead to somewhere....in this case some ancient castle ruins just under the snowline...



Biniaraix Sector D 04 - 03 And from there, to the new farming area...



Biniaraix Sector D 04 - 04 And another perspective.



Biniaraix Sector D 04 - 05 After some fine detailing, the new area is ready for "the click" 



Biniaraix Sector D 04 - 06 But there is more developing work in the area, before we let the sims come and stay 



Biniaraix Sector D 04 - 07 So, we stop here, and wait for the next update...



I hope you like the main layout...some "real" development will start soon  !!!



Thanks to all the members that found a minute to post their nice and motivating comments to Grand Canyon  !!! It is always a plesure to come and find so much excellent feedback 

Nik-Nik, I use a cemetary lot found in Simtropolis (this one]http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=15700]this one) as a basis for a custom lot set. I changed some textures and some props and Voila !!!. The gates I used in this cemetery are included in my rural walls set.
Actually the available space is short also for the cemetaries. I can see entire modern buildings in the cemetary in Palma de Mallorca, which are used instead land tombs. Also many people wants to be burned once dead, so land space is not that necessary....
I am not sure at which number of residents the farms stop to develop, but since the "bigger" farms are stage 3, and the game goes until stage 8, probably when you start to see stage 4 residential buildings, or stage 3 farms, you are probably near the limit 


Again thanks to all for the feedback !! Next update in progress....

This brings back some good memories of Sculpting Columbia River... except it's better! 

Keep up the great work!

[LP_Green]

This new farming area's gonna be great! I can't wait for the development. I also like that pathway up the mountain that leads to the ruins. Also, you got a really realistic and impressive layout! That's so great!

Good job Jeronij!

Very interesting work.  The grid really does show the difficulty of the terrain, thanks for showing pics with and without the grid.  I'd like to see a close-up of the castle ruins, or better yet, where you got it and I can take a look at it myself (if it is not too much trouble  ).  The new farm layout looks great!  You are such a tease with the "click"! 

[Alfred.Jones]

Very cool Jeroni! I love the castle ruins and the path, very realistic Great overview, keep it up mate

[bat]

Sector D looks so great!

[sebes]

The master published again  Great update again Jeronij. The grid realy adds to these pictures adn gives us all an idea about the slope grades.

But is it my eyes or does this road end on the soccerfield?

[figui]

wow, great planning! really realistic.

well, enough for my first post ever.

Thank you for the Link Jeronij. Gosh more than 21 pieces. My park menu is now absolutely inreadible. 

Beatiful pics. I ike that one staring down from the mountain on the ruin and trail, it has some nice 3D effects.

Also nice to see that Mc Donalds at the foot of the mountain. The kids can walk the trail path to the Mc Donald during lunch hour or would taht take too long.....

Sorry to say, but you don't amaze me any more. You always do great stuff. 

Another SCR !!! What can I say ? Great work.

[thundercrack83]

Sector D is looking great! Keep up the good work!

[Ajax]

Nice update!  I like the additional trees you have added, especiallly around the ruins.  BTW, thanks for the link!

Hey Jeronij,

I've just checked your works here. And you know what? They're amazing!
This is the style of building that I like - sculpting, so much work on so small area. I think you'll agree with me, the more hard the terrain is to build, the more fun game provides! I really like that trails which goes uphill to castle ruins. It must have been a pain in the neck to terraform it properly, but the effects are great.

I'm looking forward to more of Grand Canyon!

[sebes]

Man - the details of the terrain  and layouts are awesome again.
