Shipal-Shin inspirational stuff

Here is a building and the wall with the new textures. If it is quick enough, I will do it. As I do agree that it does look better.
Just means the removal of the large temple, which is ok. It is the only place it is used.

Hmmm, I'd recommend desaturising/altering the ground texture instead. While the new house looks good, you'd have to do this for every single object in the game, no matter how small.

I took a stab at this idea this morning, and it was quite successful! The stark contrast is missing now that was there before. I do not have a clue why I did not think about that.

So I took a trip up north to Payson this weekend to camp and decided to snap a few pictures while driving (safe, I know) and while I was up there. I figured they could be useful for getting ideas on how different parts of the mainland can look for us. It's mostly mountains which can be useful for Shipal-Shin and are in contrast from Sedona's hues they are a but more neutral brown. There's also some of a forest of dead trees which can be useful for whatever reasons. I will snap some more when I go to Sedona next week as well. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Thought I would give a progress show of my Inner Plains.
Keeping it on the arid side, I went with just a few flora. The area is now locked in, and ready for the creation. This really helped boost this region, which a week ago was still flat, and mostly unpainted....that despite the entire rest of the world being at least given some terrain, or being locked in/finished.

Ash Yams
Skathecraw
Roobush
Fire Fern
Heather
Ash Grass (R)

For the mushrooms (Loved the idea) I tried with the Emperor Parasols. They looked too well watered for my happiness. So I looked into the models from everything I had. I came across what is marked as "Terras Trees" in the TR stuff. These were perfect. I added a hint of color, and BAM! They are perfect, because (to me) they have their parasols in a bowl shape, to catch what water does come around. That, and they fit in it so well.

I thought I would show a couple of the terrain creations as well.

Bumping this as well....for good reasons.

Sadly I lost this mod, when my Hard Drive crashed and burned. I had it on a memory stick, but something was missed. No matter where you went in the game, it would freak out and crash from something missing.
Long story short I could not fix said issue. So I reluctantly am rebuilding Western Isles.
A little bigger, with things I wanted in the original. But the inner plains remained the same. One slight alteration...the rocks.
Here is a photo of the new town of Laquaimar. I hated having to begin again....but it was so worth it in many aspects.
