Building Crimson Castle

For such a big project this hthasnt had many posts so hopefully can change that even if we have alot going on directly or indirectly at the crimson castle.

I guess the main reason for the sim is to give a home to the vampire clan so we can all have our private place to enjoy our SL with each member of the crimson vampire family having their own skybox or platform. Down below has been a busy time building and landscaping the sim and this being the 3rd sim we hopefully now have a good idea what works and what doesn't.

My personel favourite is the fishing area. Lyria got me hooked on it when we 1st met and so far only beaten her once in about 10 comps at it. But i digress.... this fish pool we've tried to build it up in to a rocky treelined gorge and give a relaxed peaceful area to bait your hook and mull over things as you fish. It may not be capabilty brown's work but i like the look and the bird sounds and underwater world we've added to this area. with 7seas & lucky tribe fishing there too it makes for a great place to visit and the traffic is rising all the time in this part of crimson castle.

The centre of the sim is our market with room for around a dozen large shops, the square is massive and needs a few more things to fill the space althought we have a few toys dotted around. OuR regular conversation is on this market and i'd like to add more shops but its a matter of grinding down lyria on this one i feel. But so far we have a few great vendors and our bleeding rose design shop is here.

Besides the square we have a chicken farm for vendors theres a great toy bull here in the corner but the rest is dedicated to stalls selling sion chickens and the eggs as part of the marketting for this there is a sim wide chicken hunt and so far something like L$30,000 has been given away and it goes on till this Saturday.

When on the sim the church and castle catch my eye and always remind me these need filling up, yesterday Lyria and me visited a sim selling gothic items and its given me plenty of ideas for these 2 buildings. 1st off is the organ, move over phatom of the opera! But these need to be more vampyrish for the clan and with all the hunts taking place and chickens the vampire castle and church have taken a back seat. hopefully these will be done soon as i know we can give any vampire clan a run for their money when it comes to making an intersting sim to visit.
