Dear All,
It's been a while since there was an update on Aviodora, which I apologize for, however things have been though in my personal life in the past couple of weeks. My little bunny is sick, the vet has no idea what's wrong with him, but he is not eating or drinking by himself anymore which is quite worrisome as I can't be there all the time due to university and work.
But, without further ado, let's delve into the realm of Aviodora.
First, I have finished the interior of the airport (for now, as there are two empty rooms for a future update when active careers arrive). I have added ropes as suggested to the check-in area, and the security area.



I have started preparing the mod for the world file, meaning, I have merged some objects and also improved the performance a little.
As a part of the preparation, I updated the lamps and the roads, so the city will look better during the nights:



As I have not finished Simtorini yet, I am working on that district today, the headline picture is the Springs Outdoor Cinema which will only be accessible if Sims booked a ticket online and it's after 8PM.

I have also added an AirBnb-stlye rentable house with a private hot tub and garden. Sims will need to book in advance, as purchasing a ticket will not be possible.

Next up in the city is the theater (only rabbithole) and possibly a community garden with a farmer's shop (rabbithole).

There's also a huge surprise coming to Aviodora, but that has yet to be created, so for now, it's a secret.
I have yet to finish the Simffeil district as well, but only a couple things are left there:
Altogether, the number of active venues only grew, so now we have, 32 active venues:
Café, Bike Shop, Bridal Shop, Knitting Shop, Gym, Hookah Lounge, Gnome Shop, Cinema, Clothing Store, Grocery Store, Wedding Palace, Botanical Garden, Bar, Disco, Museums (Red Light, Simtorini, Aviation), Graveyard, Hostel, Hotel, AirBnb, Public Toilet, Arcade, Library, Marketplace, Apartments, Picnic Park, Tulip Field, Camping Ground, Several Playgrounds, Outdoor Cinema and Airport.
Other than that, I have 17 solvable issues or to-do on my list, before the big release!
I also plan to create a trailer once, Simffeil and Simtorini are finished as well.
As for performance, I have tested the current version of the mod on a low-capacity computer, and it runs on 25-60 fps (In contrast, Tomarang, which is a very demanding world, also runs at 25-60fps) at medium graphics settings. That computer has 12 gigs of RAM and the CPU is an i7-5500U with no GPU.
My computer runs Aviodora between 35-160fps, depending on how outzoomed the view is.
And some bonus pictures:



If you like what you see, please spread the word about this Mod if you can by sharing it to other Simmers via Twitter/X, Patreon or Discord, so that when the time comes, testers will be able to help with bug fixes.
