Keep adding more and more lot mode stuff to be able to build things the way I see it in Feverfew.

There are 5 basic brick walls now, few types of fences to match each colour, same 5 brick colour scheme chimneys, dwarf conservatory walls to match, custom conservatory roof pieces, separate window sills with variations, window and front door lintels and canopies, roof soffit cornices, front doors, few types of windows that support animated windows hack, some custom roof materials and that isn’t all.

A new Expansion, a new universe for my faves! Both of Neptune’s grandparents are Merpeople, and her mother. Dad is a local fisherman. And Revan (I’ll give him some other name for this save) comes from a family of sailors from Brindleton Bay. I think I’ll start with them having 2 kids, not sure yet. But they met years ago when Revan came to Sulani because of the Conservationist career, which he is very passionate about. The night he arrived in Sulani he decided to enjoy the sea breeze by trying out the Jet Skis. Long story short, he hit some rocks and fell off into the water, hitting his head in the process. Neptune in her mermaid form saw this and dragged him to the shores. But when he begin waking up she fled into the ocean, not wanting to be seen. But he did see her, or at least he thought he did, but couldn’t quite explain it. A few days later they met again being grouped up together to clean the beaches and he doesn’t recognize her, but thinks there is something oddly familiar about her. Aaand the rest is history ;D

Some progress on Feverfew lot making. I try to keep them as CC free ass possible. Well, a bunch of CC made especially for Feverfew doesn’t count, lol.

I know that it’s probably quite boring to see the same lot for the third time in a row, but I have only just considered it ready and that means that all premade lots that will be included in Feverfew release will have the same level of detail as this one. Almost empty on the inside, and slightly decorated on the outside. No fancy photoshop editing this time. Just pure in-game pics! I’m still not sure about how playable this type of lot is. It’s residential, but made for 3 separate households (as normal terraced, or row house would). I can’t make it into apartment, since I don’t have AL in my Sims 2 Super(-duper) Collection (the reason for the absence of ceiling too). So basically, you’ll have to decide yourself what to do with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There will be few lots like this one in the neighborhood. Pics are captioned! Yeah, as if —__—

2 Gerbit Street, Feverfew. Price: about 65.000 simoleons

Main facade, I’ve decided not to move mailbox and dust bin around so that everyone could decide whether it's necessary or not

This arch passage leads do the garden, well, the patio. Once the driveway was connected to the main road through this arch

The very corner terraced house doesn't have the access to the patio, but it has a lovely attic with dormer windows

The dormer windows are now have a proper roofing (it was a flat roof in earlier versions)

As you can see, all the flora is completely vanilla. I try to keep the lot mode CC at low (special Feverfew stuff doesn't count though)

Corner house attic

The house on the left has a cheeky bathroom upstairs ^^

Ground level. As you can see, the floorplans are a bit silly, so there's a plenty of makeover possibilities

A closer look to the patio. Like I said, only two out of the three houses has direct access to it

One of the Feverfew’s features I wanted to implement (and I finally did) were these festive street lights that only appear when there’s a heavy snow during winter. Let’s just hope that Feverfew will be available by this Christmas so that feature would make sense.

Everything I wanted the Feverfew Railway station to have is now complete. Proper buffer stops, signals, water crane and coal staithes. Goods yard is full of wagons and vans, there’s ‘Gertrude’ the tank engine with a brake van resting at the station and a diesel multiple unit approaching the platform. The dedicated Feverfew themed hood deco folder is about 70Mb now and there are 250+ packages there. That includes already released hood deco cars, sport fields and shop facades. It is safe to say now that there will be no more new neighborhood decorations created within the project. What I need to do now is to focus on lots I want to add. No big deal, just a few prebuilt, undecorated, as noCC as possible community and residential lots here and there. Some lot mode custom content has to be done though as I want my buildings to match hood deco ones.

Keep adding more rolling stock. Feverfew railway station is finally becomes less deserted. And that means we getting closer and closer to Feverfew predecorated hood release.

[criquette-was-here]

Slowly, but we’re getting there! I have finally started working rolling stock. This Diesel Multiple Unit is something I wanted in my game for years. I needed something small yet regular looking. Not a big passenger train but still rather something that looks bigger than a tramcar. So I’ve decided to create a hood deco version of a real BR Class 104 which fits my British rural and lost in time fantasy kind of theme perfectly.
