I am a Druid/Pagan. I would love to see a SMALL stand-alone Sacred Grove that takes the place of a church. An open air ring of trees with with a small fountain in the middle, where people could go for comfort and reflection. Just a simple mod. Would anyone be able to do this for me? :heart :clear :heart
Hello! I love the idea!
I'm picturing a blend of three of Kid's mods, but with decorative trees for more customization.
These are the mods that could be merged and adjusted into a single one called 'Sacred Grove'. Sadly, I'm not fast enough to create something like this yet, but maybe someday.

number of tiles ?
against a mountain or in open area ?
Open area, maybe 4x4 or 5x5, thereabouts? Small, not huge. :)
ok, will see. it will make me get out of thatch for a while LOL
i am making a fountain model presently but i will maybe need help from Kid cause even if i made the canals, 7 years ago, to make water flowing.... i dont remember AT ALL what i did back then lol
too much time has passed ^^
It is too soon yet to give you a first raw look of it :)
maybe after my hockey game (i will continue after)
Here the first look.
I did the fountain all from granite :) I need Kid to look into it cause me water go up LOL instead to go down. i have no idea how to fix it or where to look....
I know he can fix that :) me i have no idea LOL
after i'll need to add your ring of trees.

I'm just letting you know that I'll be joining River in downloading this as soon as it drops! It's looking great. One question though: how does the water rise? Is it above sea level? I'd just name it 'Magic Fountain' and call it a day haha
ya , or it is RK Magic ^^ or it has a pump that circle the water :)
Turn the AO-map 180 degrees, and it should run down.

this is why i asked River if it is for against a mountain or open air ^^
would have been more real if i sould do a lake in the mountains
@kid1293 i dont even know how to look at the AO map anymore lol

I mean the UV-map
No problems. It is about the UV-map.
Here is my fountain. Check the UV-map for the water.

You know, the window where you place and arrange your texture.
For water, it doubles as a direction.
ya i forgot everything ... 7 years
i cant even remember what i ate yesterday lol
I like the fountain, Red. Looks like a natural rock. It will be in the center of the grove, right? with some small spacing around it for people to stand in the grove and rest.

ya it will be at center and i ll put a ring of maybe 6 trees around
If Kid can fix the water lol. i m trying but in game, nothing change ^^ the water still go up haha , and the water from the top basin, is going up and down (literally up and down to the sky ^^)
@Rivereuh... i scaled the model down to 80% and it takes all of 4x4 tiles :(
can i make the total 5 by 5 ? haha i need to put the trees :P
Yes, that's fine. And thank you so much for doing this!!
how s about that ?
if OK, gonna make it as a church and wrap it up :)

Yes!! Looks great! Maybe another tree or two, its ok to leave one end open. But it's looking wonderful! The fountain will flow water, right?
yes the water will flow. but if you put too many trees... you wont see the fountain and its water :)
some of the trees are out of the 5x5. cannot do a lot of things in a 4x4 or 5x5. Although i can put more further, which can be clipped 'graphically speaking' by other buildings if you put them too near. although i don't see a grove in middle of a town lol.
for myself and RKEC , i will do 8x8 :)
i' ll set the church when i'll get back from sleep and release it :) (i'll check for another tree)
I used those spruce because the are very low polygon and also, i dont remember how to make the trees to have leaves in summer and disappear in winter. in 7 years off, we can forget a lot of things lol.
i can put some flowers though :)
want some ?
What if the remaining trees were decorative to allow for better customization of the surroundings? This was an idea I proposed initially, and I still believe it would work well.
If you need more room, try 6x6, but no bigger please. Yes, the trees being decorative would be good, and yes, maybe some flowers here and there. You do such good work, I do not want it to be hard on you. :)

absolutely no idea what you meant
I had an idea to allow adding individual trees instead of having a fixed circle of trees around the spring. This way, players can customize the grove however they want, giving them more options to build it exactly as they imagine. The mod would be like a 'Sacred Grove Creation Pack'.

Um, sounds a bit more complicated than the original idea. I'm all for keeping it simple.
nan i dont think River wants that
anyway there will be some delay ... i just noticed something wrong with my fountain. it is like it is doubled.
Doubled in exact same place, like 2 fountains at once and thats just wrong. even if we cant see it, it double the amount of polygons the model has and our computers are drawing it twice for nothing.
So i need to fix that. and i need to go back a lot previously of what i did in the concept of my model. that means to redo what i did after my previous save. lucky i sometime, when not sure, i save sometime on a different file so i can always go back before.
Okey Dokey. Do what you have to!!
So i made.....
you told me ok for 6x6 lol i took it :D
i redid 90% of everything....
maybe you will find it ... less from natural rock, i ve got to same the amount of polygons, of triangles... computer power because i add to add more trees... some flowers...
So this is i will give you, with your permission :D
