Idling

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Not a lot is happening today. Earlier in the week, I made a trip down to London to do some networking, which resulted in a little techie work. Back in the real world, I’m slowly terraforming my new sim and adding some prefab houses for new tenants. Unfortunately, thanks to LL apparently glutting the land market, the market is moving slowly. As in all things, it will pick up again, of course. The key, as always, is not to try running before you can walk.

Fabled Legend

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

This is to announce that I am entering the land-baroning business in ever-larger steps. I now have a second island, named Fabled Legend. It is still undergoing terraforming and preparation for renting out. Some of it is already either rented out or available to rent out, and the rest will be made available as it is finished.

The northern half is designated as desert, and the southern half as grasslands, with a mountain ridge dividing the two main areas.

This division is achieved by judicious use of the ground texture tools, and setting the altitudes at which each texture is used. One consequence of this is that the desert areas must be kept very close to sea-level, and the grasslands must be kept at medium-high altitude, or at least, not as lowlands.

Rental enquiries go to the usual places.
