This off-sim environment (a virtual version of a modern city, with three different texture setups) instantly makes your place part of a 3D panoramic town.
NEW: This landscape makes use of the new Materials in Second Life. In order to see it properly, you should use a Materials-enabled viewer and switch on the Advanced Lighting Model (Graphics settings in the Preferences menu, CTRL+P; consult your viewer's documentation if you don't know how). The Materials make it possible to have additional detail on the buildings and to prevent the trees from bleeding through textures (trees, windows) on your land.
NEW: Because of the Materials, this environment is set to 'Physics type NONE', which means it does NOT cause and lag to the physics system (no interaction with moving animals or vehicles) and it does NOT cause any problems with sitting scripts (no problems with unscripted sit and multi-sitters). Unfortunately however, each sculpted prim has a land impact of 2 because of the Materials and use of Physics Type NONE.
Properties:
• Change the surface textures of all landscape parts (254 textures available in the HUD, selectable on some landscape parts), and you can even use your own textures
• Change the trees to 18 predefined different types: winter pines, fir trees, deciduous trees (both summer and autumn), palm trees… New types of trees will automatically become available in the HUD
• Switch to a different texture setup (materials)
• De-rez landscape sections, if you want to leave out the trees and rez them again later
• Allow others to change the scene and surface textures
• Copy-permissions: you will always be able to replace an item when it’s lost, or rez one at a friend’s place
• Advanced menu to remove redundant scripts to decrease script load on sim

Other characteristics are:
• Its size is 1000x1000m, sculpted to one side. An island measures 256x256m, which means it covers your island and extends way beyond its limits. However, it cannot be seen from other islands that do not share one full border with your island. Islands that just touch at the corners are no problem to use this item. Make sure other land owners on your island agree to using such a big item!
• A script takes the landscape to the best position on your land. You can rotate and move it afterwards like any other object in SecondLife. Do not drop it too close to the edge, it may go off-world and end up in your Lost and Found folder!
• You can combine this landscape with other landscape elements, like waves and rock structures.
• Matching terrain textures for your land are available in the in-world store.
To your viewer this landscape is a set of sculpted prims with textures. Technically there is not much difference from, for example, a detailed set of furniture. The textures do not contain an alpha channel, and are not animated. There are no particle systems in this item. The surface and sculpt textures take some time to load, but after that they cause no lag and do not obstruct your movements.

Excellent
Very nice gave my sim a great look fits perfect with my sim theme only thing I would have to say is that sometimes it doesn't rez in when first logging on but other than that it is beautiful I highly recommend.
This is just absolutely Amazing
I have been in secondlife for over 13 years and I have never seen anything like this.I was in complete aww when it rezzed. I would have paid 5 times the amount I did and think it was a steal. Fantastic job
Well done
This surround is very well done, with many configurable options. You can tell when a creator is meticulous- the texturing is very well done with no visible seams, no misalignment and they are bright and clear. The edges of the surround are angled up slightly- so it's easy to merge with the land border. The trees and being able to change the textures of the roads, asphalt and greenery are a very nice touch and I was able to blend it convincingly into my environment. Overall, five stars- very pleased with the quality of this surround. I ended up rezzing 2 of these and putting them on two borders of the sim.
The best city surround out there.
I have the full sim and the half sim and regularly swap them, using the half sim with terrain. Have used others but this stands head and shoulder above all else. I have experienced no problems with installation or how it looks. I wish there were more city sim surrounds out there so hoping the creator might do a post-apoc/dystopian one, scifi and so on.
Looks great, but
Every single person that comes into contact with it complains of "Black and green lines that go across their screen". I have found that you can fix it for yourself by right-clicking on it, but that's something I now have to explain to visitors, and I can imagine it would drive some people away, if they can't figure it out. This surround is the best city surround I can find, and I'll probably keep using it until I find something better, but the way it loads is a killer, stripping two stars off an otherwise 5-star product. It's a shame, I own a few of the other surrounds that this maker offers, and they do not suffer from this.
