Rebuilding River Island part 1

 When we moved to River Island  I placed the club at the corner of the sim and build a city around it. Over the course of time I made changes and placed new buildings. New parts had to fit and I did my best to get them in the space that was left.
When RIPA asked us to build there theater on River Island I was honored and build a platform for the theater and started to build club T.R.A.C.S there also and other buildings. On the sim I removed the old club and on the open space I pushed in some new builds but because of the small area it was always a struggle to squeeze parts in it.

 When RIPA left we had two cities. One in the air and one on the ground of the sim. I placed a big building were the theater stood and went on with the scenery there and neglected the ground part.

           ▲▼ At the top of this building a part of it has no roof and there I build a water and a cactus garden.
                    I love how I decorated that part.

           ▲▼ I forgot to mention a second platform in the air. It is a dome that was intended to be a landing zone                        were you could teleport to other parts on the sim. It was never used and been cleaned up.

Here are a few snapshots I made during this wonderful show. But better watch yourself.

Valentine Party and Valentine Show

On February 14th we had two events on River Island.

Deepert build a great Valentine event hall.
DJ Treesje made her debuut, as dejaay, at T.R.A.C.S. And she did a wonderful job.

The guests, Deepert, Tim and I enjoined it a lot.
We will see DJ Treesje soon back at T.R.A.C.S, that is for sure.
Here are some snapshots made during the party.

RIPA had a Valentine Show.
As always a great made show by Red and Steve.
And Red made a great dinner.
DJ Zee did the after Party.

Sadly this was also the last show of RIPA on River Island.
River Island is made for wandering through the city, harbor, little Tokyo and the village. It is made to explore the woods, find hidden places. It is made for watching animals in de little zoo and all over the sim.
The sim follows the seasons as in real world.
But all this also uses a lot of scripts and with a large audience and the scripts that been used for the show gives lag and problems with stage decor and animations.
RIPA found a "clean" sim and moved the theater to there.
Soon more about it.
