Terraforming help

Are there any skilled terraformers out there who'd be willing to help me out sometime this week? I know, technically, how to use the terraforming tools and the bulk of the work is done, but I've got a few problem areas left that need refinement, and I'm at the stage where every time I solve one problem, it creates another somewhere else. And I've fussed with it so long, I'm starting to hate the whole thing.

The land is a 6144 that was originally gently rolling hills, and I'm trying to recreate that look while still keeping bits of flat land to build on. The problem areas are mainly the edges where it adjoins other people's land and a 512 or so near the center where the higher elevation land in the east meets the lower elevation land in the west and I can't get it to smooth properly.

I'd be happy to pay for the service, but I can't afford very much, I'm afraid -- all my money's tied up in the land itself. :-}

try posting in the "help wanted" forum

here your post will be buried by tomorrow, and those who are looking to do some landscaping work might not ever see it

I'm pretty good at it! If you will send me an IM in game and a landmark, I'll come over and beat up your land for you!

Thanks for the offer, Grace! Alicia was kind enough to come over last night and help out, so I'm all set now.

Sorry -- forgot it was possible to use "help wanted" for anything but club and escort jobs! :-)

If Grace can't help, the problem may just be the limitations of terraforming. Land does act a little bit like Silly Putty...you punch it down here, it poots up there.

Once you've done all you can with your bulldozers, shovels, rakes and hoes, you may need to hide the rest of the flaws with a prim or two.
