Soft relaunch of Riverside

Last Friday, I reuploaded a slightly tweaked version of Riverside but didn't think to announce it because it wasn't a major overhaul. But I changed my mind and decided to announce it anyway so that everyone knows what was changed:

New Band Platform at Kiki's Karaoke
There's a new room on the first floor of Kiki's Karaoke where bands can now perform.

New Stage at V's Flying Coffeehouse
V's Flying Coffeehouse has been remodeled with a new stage.

Fixed This Guy
I accidentally had another sim from Oceanview, Mac McGinty, as one of the Bodine brothers. Now Mac is back safely in his home in Oceanview and no longer a victim of identity theft in Riverside. :-)

Additional Community Tables
There are more picnic tables in-world for your sims to eat at when they buy ice cream treats.

Fixed Glitch at Riverside Gate
The walls were misaligned near Riverside Gate.

Reduced Household Balances
All the families of Riverside had a ridiculous amount of money in their household balances. Now no one is stinking rich anymore, and this will lead to a more interesting game.

Added More Trees in Rural Area
The area around the Bodines, Beaumonts, and Dauterive seemed a little sparse, so I added some trees to spruce things up.

That's about it! Simply click on the link below to download Riverside v.2.

Sim Acres is Back on Track [WIP]

Well, after messing around with Oceanview again this year, I am now back to completing Sim Acres, my third world. I'm not sure yet how soon it will be released, but just so you know, it's about 95% done. I have almost everything in place--including my families. I just have to place them, play test Sim Acres again, and see whatever additional tweaks I need to spruce it up.

Below are some of the latest pictures:

New Version of Oceanview is Officially Released

When I last posted in July, I was working on a new world, Sim Acres. However, I got sidetracked over the summer with Oceanview, my very first world. What wound up happening was that I learned so much while making Sim Acres and Riverside that I went back to Oceanview to apply what I had learned from those two worlds to improve on it.

Well, after much further ado, I am happy to say that the new version of Oceanview is out and ready to be downloaded.

Below are the specs and some other important information you need to know:
