Wow, I'm away for a week and you do miracles! I shoud've only made an Island as well, my world always seems sooo lage. I love the layout of your stables. I see you stuck with aligning the stables around the yard. But it's much more open now. Just wonderfull. And your beach is just so dreamy! Anyways, to align the streets correctly, you need to drag the dark ble rectangle at the end to the missle of another street-end. If it's slose enough they will snap together and the dark blue rectangle turns light blue. It works the same for walkways. But you can't connect them to streets, just let them overlap a bit, then it should work just fine. Hope that helps a bit.

Thanks alot, Lexi! Heather Ann, ok, I will put it up, I promise I read the tutorial but it was hard for me to understand what exactly I have to do. Also I searched for help on the internetz but most tutorial were saying "untill it snaps in" or something like that and I just couldn't find out what they meant. But that's cleared now, I'm currently redoing all the streets so that they are connected and I also flatened two lots that were not flat. Also I'm working on the Vet clinic / harbor building. Heather Ann and Lisa, if you use the island for an equestrian center... I roleplay as if this island was part of a group of islands which lay where the river Simomon (The river passing through Riverview) meets the sea (You can find more information about how I imagined everything later on on my website) and I thought it would be cool if there were people joining me in roleplaying this island group Just an Idea Ann, sorry I refreshed the page and missed that there was a new one Thanks for your explanation, but my rectangles never turn light blue, just green Oo I don't know what I'm doing wrong. At least I found out how to connect the streets right, now only the walkways are a bit... Well, difficult. Thanks for your comment on the stable layout, you're right, somehow I keep to that But I learned from my other equestrian Center that I prefer the open box stalls with turnouts over the closed ones in a barn so I tried to focus on open ones The mare and foal stable will change though, I want a open stable for foals without mothers connected to the big pasture.

Thanks so much, Erin Since there's still no special thread I have some more pictures, now from the public parts of the facility. I finished the Cross Country Course, the Jumping Course, the riding School and the grass dressage / cavaletti / racing part today, so I still have the main stables, the harbor building and the "hotel" left. I know I'm currently only showing building pics, this will change as soon as I can play again - then I'll post pics of the foalies I got <3 and my horses in their new homes... I so want this island to be done... -.- Atm I'm mostly posting pics to tell myself that I make progress, which I can't really see since there's so much left to do. Sometimes I wish I wouldn't have decided to make an Island for me, but the old Equestrian Center just missed stuff I needed badly and now I started it so I'll finished it. Sorry I'm ranting here I know no one wants to hear that

Thank you so much for your comments, Katie, Sylvia, Heather Ann and Niki. Oh guys, if you weren't here, I would've given up long ago, I can tell you that. But I must disappoint you at this point, because to be honest, I absolutely hate building and furnishing. It's the worst part about moving the equestrian center to an island and the reason why I gave up all the worlds before. Even if I'm not bad at it, it's always something what really annoys me. I can put up the island for download, but I don't think there will also be lots to download. The ones you see now belong to Marigold Acres anyway and as snobish as that sounds, I don't want anyone else to have an EC with the same lots. I hope you can understand :/

I'm following your project for a while now and I've gotta admit that I absolutely admire your dedication o.o Many others, including myself, would probably have given up a long time ago and move back to their old lots, because it's such a time-consuming and sometimes frustrating (I believe) thing to build. So yeah, I think I totally understand that you want this to be finished so you can play again Please keep it up! I love your island in every possible way (there will be a hotel?! O.O My summer vacation is SO booked.) and I can't wait to see it finished
