One of the things I'm doing to create interest and depth in Dragonwyck is to create vignettes in several spaces that help to tell the story of the world. As I get close to finished with the world, some of these points of interest will be spawner locations for various collectables or good fishing spots. Others are intended to expand the visual area of a constructed lot so they don't feel boxy, but instead feel like the overflow into the world around them.
Here's one example, where I'll have a digsite spawner. I hope that since people will see the old truck, they may get the idea that there could be other hidden treasures.
This is the area I'm working on right now. It's a small beach area I've named Stargazer Beach. The finished beach will have a pier with telescopes, and lots of starfish under the pier. The trail leading to the beach from the road is a sidewalk, so pathing should be consistent for Sims, and the sidewalk itself may be switched to invisible by the time the world is released to give the illusion that it's just a well-worn path. Just beyond the beach is a small open area where I'll create another vignette just before the bridge while I finish the landscaping at the other side of the path. Likely it'll be a nice little spot to fish.
Behind the rocky area is a decent sized flat spot where I had planned to put the Equestrian Center, but that may end up being a few more houses with the EQ center on a smaller lot using the rabbit hole rug. The links for those downloads are really old, so if they're no longer available I may need to zip the rugs into a download here, giving credit to the creators of course. Otherwise I'll just provide links.
