Day 214: Babbage Square
My friend Ana told me recently about Babbage Square. Its such a cool place, I will be eternally grateful! :)
Babbage Square is part of New Babbage, a new planned series of Victorian-themed sims. Babbage is very similar to Caledon, and follows a similar set of Steampunk ideals.
That means Daisy Duke is not necessarily appropriate attire for attending local functions :P
But whereas Caledon is an established society, New Babbage is just getting started. Some areas are already open, while others are nearing completion and about to open.
New Babbage is a residental sim that rents land to residents, just like Caledon.
Almost all the buildings in Babbage are amazing...nearly all of them are spectacular. Its like there is a building contest going on or something...
The textures are wonderful inside and out, nearly everywhere you look! Especially in this cool little tea room :)
Push the button on this platform in the middle of the sim and take a ride up the elevator :)
You need to "Sit" in the elevator and "Touch" the floor to Activate it...
The elevator goes up to this flying platform and gives you a wonderful view of the whole sim!
Um...is this thing steam powered? Like...what happens if we run out of steam?
There are all manners of wonders in the sim :) You can spend many hours here going through each plot...
And it looks like my blog friend Edward has a store here :) Can spot that uniform a mile away :P
Oh oh...and heres my favorite building: Remmy's Moving Castle. Really cool-looking building thingie :)
If you havent been to Babbage Square, you have to come see all these wonderful places! Click on Search, select Places, and enter "babbage" as the keyword. Pick any of the Babbage Square destinations that come up ("KAHRUVEL STEAMWORKS" is a good one). The SLURL is Babbage Square (58,30,22).
Beware the dreaded Fangorious Duck Beast!

One can never have enough Steam, Miss Zelmanov! Though my home is in Caledon, I love Babbage dearly--your pictures are lovely, but visitors to this blog ought know that there are many, many more builds there equally amazing (I *do* love that Lewis Carroll magic lantern show).
I hope this is not shameless self-promotion, but this week, Sir ArthurConan Doyle (yes--he has an avatar that looks just like the author!) has allowed me to put up an Annie Londonderry exhibit in New Babbage at the Undershaw Restoration Society. It is all about Annie Londonderry, who became the first woman to bicycle around the world in 1894. No charge for admission. An amazing and inspirational woman who's story seemed to fit right in with the Victorian surrounds of Babbage.
Don't like that duck. Be careful....
Virrginia, I agree about the steam! It seems Babbage has a whole area dedicated to make it :) Babbage is truly an amazing sim...everything there is spectacular!
I remember you telling me about Annie Londonderry :) I have to go check it out today! Good luck with your exhibit!
Trouble, heehee yes, that giant monster duck is scary...big fangs!
Glad that you liked it! :)
Ana, its a great place! Thank you so much :)
