Some days are difficult

We deal with rl stress

And physical pain

Some days our hearts are broken

And some days we feel crushed by turmoil

Some days our emotions feel like they will explode

Some days everything we touch seems to break

Some days we make a mess of our projects

What you have to realize, even with all these things going on in your life, you have a group of friends who care about you!

END OF REGION EVENT - SATURDAY 4th FEB.... 12noon Grid Time.
Ok ... it's here ..... the moment we have been waiting for.... OBLIVION ! (HAHAHAHAH) soon our region will transform ... Come to the END OF PARTY !
SATURDAY 4TH FEB.... 12noon Grid Time
See you there !

END OF REGION PARTY IDEA'S
Hello Beautiful friends.... our old region is coming to an end and we will be re-birthed soon. In light of that, we are thinking about an end of region party .... We would love Reggie to DJ if you are available, and of course have all the regulars together to say good bye to the old... and welcome the new ! QUESTION..... which weekend day is best and what time... So let us know in comments when you are available over the next 2 weekends if you would like to come and take part. It would be awsome for a friends wide participation. Does anyone want to build something special for the night ? Any particular music choices? Any dress code? etc.... let us know your thoughts . We will make it special XXXX

After much thought, I have a rough layout on the new area. Some regions may move slightly, but this is the plan. The new grid’s name is friends-grid

I have decided I wanted to give the 4 of you a special present…..but I really do not want to fight or argue.

This is the amount of land I am getting whether you accept your gift or not.

The next thing I want to mention is I believe and support creativity……but sometimes creativity is limited by the size of your canvas. Imagine being able to put up mountains that are 1-2 sims big…..or a lake that is 4 sims! Imagine being able to drive in high gear! These things are stupid impossible unless you have a decent size canvas.

Well, December and Christmas was pretty rough with all that happened with Hidden Dreams. You four stayed with me and have been active and involved. For that, I thank you!

Because of this, I am sending your Christmas a little early. You each will have a 4x4 to build, create, experiment, bulldoze and start over! I have put tentative names and themes on the map.

Before anyone says “omg, I cannot ever work with that much”, I want you to pause…..and realize what you could do:

F1 tracks for me to beat Pin’s ass

A fantasy area involving mountains and lakes without space issues

Mad max driving like a bat out of hell over the outback

Maybe a sci fi landscape

The bottom line…..you all have some serious canvas to be creative. Realize also that you may want water around or on your region, that can take up space. Use graph paper and plan it out.

Now, I also want to point out something. We are not on a time schedule….. we are not trying to have this done by May 1. In my opinion, this is probably 12 months, some areas earlier, some later. You may want to plan for two months, and you might build on day 1. I don’t care.

If anyone is worried about me not having space, I have about 82 sims to work on…..that should keep me busy for a few days.

Also, I do own 5-10 raw terrain files (islands). If interested, ask and I can show you some examples and you can decide if it would help.

I want to support creativity!

I hope this gift will be accepted in the spirit in which it is being given…..the spirit of friendship!

Information about Grid
