Here's some more shots of my remodel of Barnacle Bay, now called Enchanted Havens. 

Founders Park:



Grill area in park:



Right side of playground area:



Rest rooms, note crib and potties:



This used to be City Hall, now holds Spa, Bistro and a stairway to the underground science facility, plus a rest room.  I'm having trouble with this one so if anyone has suggestions for the center area, (including removing the fountain), I'd like some tips.  Samoht, if you'd like to take this file and fill in the gaps I'd be so happy!



Outdoor eating area at bistro:



Spa:



Overview of town.  Lots of lots to fill in yet!



Jude's house:



There are lots on the island and a way to get there!

It's coming along beautifully, Joria!  Every picture I see makes me more and more excited about Enchanted Havens (great name,too)!

Hopefully I'll be able to figure out, (probably will ask NAGA or Flynn Arrowstar), how to get it up where I can post it.  I'd like a few trial runs of it before Flynn actually puts it up on his site.  I'm also still waiting for a yes on one house I've included so can't post it till I get that ok unless I bulldoze it.  That Topsy Turvy house fits right in, as does Micler's Fairy Tale cottage. 

Jude, is the landscaping on your build ok?  I'm hoping people will feel really good and happy when they see their builds and/or Sims here.

It's starting to get a bit laggy with all the landscaping so I'm wondering if I should remove some of the empty EA houses or just some of the landscaping!  I've tried remodeling some of the empty houses, not doing much to them except sometimes getting rid of things like wall telephones and changing the roof to thatched or something.  Also not sure if I should just keep all the natives and not add too many more Sims or remove some and add some more familiar Sims.  I've got the ok from Samoht to use some of his Sims, and Pam and Anushka and a few others and I've got quite a few that squeakyclean made for me.

 I'd really like some input as to what you guys would like to see here.  I already know all the LN venues and ST venues but what else?  What's your take on removing some of the "extra" graveyards and small parks?  Some of the so called gardens here are just ugly, and could be made lovely, but would another empty lot, (size 40x40?), be better?  We have TONS of tiny lots from size 10x10 to 25x25 but not so much on larger sizes.

I really like the little sitting area by the Restaurant with those cute round chairs. Awesome work, Joria.

@Joria, I must remember to make my mens' and ladies' bathrooms different colours so you can tell which is which at a glance, or with walls down!  Gorgeous rebuild!

Enchanted Havens is coming along very well and is almost done.  Now I need to know how to turn the file into something I can share with you all, but first my testers will get a crack at it.  I want you all to know there have so far been fifteen people who have contributed to this effort.  It is by no means my own thing but a joint effort of so many talented people.  The two most prolific contributors are Neashaleigh, who consistently creates new things for us as I whine about things not quite ready, and Agneza whose fantasy builds are well known to us all.  Here is a list of all the contributors in no particular order.  If I miss someone please speak up.

Neashaleigh            Agneza        Gogowars329            Twinmum         Ratchie        Stella

Schiperke           DeLouche         samohto4        Anushka       Ausette         Saltypaws       Micler

Pam        judewright

I am so grateful to you all, thank you just doesn't say enough.

Anyone wanting to play this world has to understand it contains every single EP and all the SPs except Diesel.   It is VERY full of store items, to the point even I had to buy a few things.  At first I was listing them but then discovered I'd pretty much have to list the entire store so gave it up. 

Some pics:

The spa and domino courts.  There is a fairy house among the flowers by the spa.



The Vault of Antiquity with bistro in the background.



Bird's eye view of that area.



Why putting all the rabbit holes underground in ONE spot is NOT a good idea.  You can't see them all but there are eleven Sims here and more inside the buildings.  It has become the latest "hot spot" to meet.



Gypsy Fortune Teller is just a short walk up the hill from the Traveling Tavern and Neashaleigh's Gypsy Caravan.





This is the spooky library from the store.  I added the spell book and elixer maker thing.  (Can't remember the name.)  There are lots, if not all, elixer ingredients to be found on the grounds.  Next to it is an empty lot.  Anyone want to make a gothic-ish house?





The beach.





Installing the campground, Kermit and Splork, (exclusive lounge), and who knows what else later today.

Hugs everyone!

It looks awsome, but I don't have nearly enough SP's or store content. So I'll have to admire from afar. I love when you put the updates on this thread though. :)

Well, you did do an AWESOME job on a certain secret hideout and it's in Enchanted Haven.  I did write and ask you for permission at one point, both you and Gogo.

Lol, well there you go! Proof that my mind has been elsewhere the last few weeks.
