sand and grass ?

is there any chance to make private islands half grass and half sand... ?

we need some of parceles to be grassy and one or two parceles with sand..

can anyone explain how to do that....thank u very much

From what I recall (can't get in-game at the moment), you can choose default textures for the NE, NW, SE and SW corners of your region, and they all blend together.

If you set, say, NW and NE as sand texture at a slightly lower level, and SW and SE as a grass texture at a couple of metres higher, then fiddle with the upper and lower level limits, you should get something approximating the feature you're wanting.

Putting something like a road across the middle of the region will also help disguise the change.

Hope that makes sense.

Every sim has 4 textures that will appear at different levels in the terraforming. You set those levels in the Estate Tools section and can adjust them by corners of the sim. The textures have a blend range where they transition from one to another - visually it seems to be about 10 m of overlap. The normal water level for a sim is 20 m, so if you set your sand texture to top out at 25m you will create a nice beach. Your grass areas can be the next texture and you will have to terraform your land up enough to get full grass instead of a mixture of grass/sand in the blend zone. It is possible to have the grass texture start lower, but then you end up with grass below your water line (which looks really odd, IMHO...)

tnx for answers ppl... !!!!
