Fun With Items

Since I didn't have the time to put in a full day working on the module this weekend, I instead decided to work on it in spurts. I'd open up one area and add in all the placeables and such, and then be done. I managed to finish up five areas that way, although I'm not 100% happy with the results - the outdoor areas are kind of dull, because they're all flatlands. Still, there isn't much I can do about that, since the terrain is supposed to be flatlands. I also put off redoing the cutscene for the time being; I'll probably work on that this weekend, when I have more time.

I did, however, end up spending more time on the module than I expected, because I got caught up with making custom items. Specifically, I realized that the CEP opened up a vast array of possibilities for clothing customization. I must have spent an hour or two making and tweaking various peasant outfits. This was partially because even though there are a lot of clothing options, most of them don't look right for a peasant, so it took a lot of fiddling to create something I was happy with. The good thing is that now all my peasants don't have to dress identically. I also got obsessed with making custom items - specifically, with creating various foods. I made about eight different items before I realized that Sharon's 1600+ Module Items, which I'd already downloaded a while back, already had all that stuff. Why do the work if it's already been done for you?
