Ever want to work for an OCD crazy woman who will drive you nuts? (yes, this is the warning in advance!) -- you know you want to sign up for this job right away.

Anyways, I have an open air sim that I am looking to terraform - beach, tropical, but elegant, classy - like South Beach Miami in the "good locations" (laugh)

I want to have a central mountain with a waterfall that I want to see how much can be done with actual terraforming and low prim useage since open air sims are lacking in the high amount of prims.

I'd like to see some other unique and interesting twists you'd like to add to the island, low prim tropical trees and plants, sand dunes, etc.

If you are someone who will give me a realistic quote for a reasonable amount of time for a job, contact me (Mia Genira) in game. If you are a 5-star Terraformer who charges $10,000L for a job, sorry, I can't afford you!

I'm looking for realistic quotes and pictures/proof of your abilities. I know you have to pay for good quality, but I know there are a lot of people out there who are charging ridiculous prices for very tacky work (i.e. if your waterfalls are bright blue, sorry, move on. I want *realism* here guys).

I'm picky and upfront on if I like or dislike your plans, so be prepared to deal with my insane quirks, but I promise, I'm still a fun person to work with :)

BTW: I'm a DJ by "trade" and I'm always willing to negotiate skills trades if you have need for any club work (hostessing, management, event planning and DJing)

I would suggest to check slx....ehmm sorry xstreet there are a lot of pre-built raw files.

Check this: http://xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&SearchKeyword=terrain%2520raw&SearchLocale=0&SearchPriceMin=&SearchPriceMax=&SearchRatingMin=&SearchRatingMax=&sort=&dir=desc&page=2

Also most of those creators do customs.

I had an open 'space' sim some weeks ago an I did it myself using terragen, and then in world terraforming.

please remember your looking at something that, done well, could take 10+ hours. and you seem like the type of person who likes things to be very specific, this can add extra time to a build, i know most of us are on here for fun but 35 bucks (10,000L) for that amount of time and effort is a little low and your asking for people to do this under that price, would you do it?

Kahiro's idea is a good one, you could get yourself a raw terrain file from slex or similar sites for a much less price and it would be done almost instantly, minus plants ect. which are a dime a dozen, i could suggest aminom as a good place for 2 prim sculpted tree's and i'v come across other places with fantastic looking 2 or 3 prim sculpted palms with shadows, the name of the creator escapes me tho.

good luck

Very well said, Crunch. I was going to respond in a similar fashion but couldn't come up with a post that was as polite as yours. :)

I think that Crunch and Kahiro have made good suggestions, Mia. With the scale of the job, the requirements, and the amount you are willing to spend you might have better luck with a DIY effort. If you're not comfortable composing premade objects, maybe you could find someone to assemble them for you. You could pick and choose pieces that you know you will like and the assembly would require much less time and effort than a full-on custom job.
