A little flowery oasis in "Alik'r Oasis"

LalMirchi

A little flowery oasis in "Alik'r Oasis" which is now my favourite house. I love the vastness and spareness.

The only waterfall available for purchase was quite short so I lined up three of them.

I hit two snags when trying to create this oasis, water & grass.

Water: I could not find any pools, ponds or other bodies of water to place as furnishings.

Grass: Placing hedges flat while not ideal does give the illusion, perhaps I did not look hard enough.





I remember once waking up in the deep desert after a very spectacular thunderstorm and there were flowers everywhere. They only lasted for a day unfortunately.

There is a large pool as an achievement furnishing from High Isle, but the water looks quite blue (maybe it would look alright under a blue sky though). Alternatively, there is the sulfur pool achievement furnishing for fishing in the Deadlands, but that “water” looks quite dirty. Alas, rarer even than water pool furnishings are ones with clear water!

There are two pool furnishings (one with a waterfall fountain that can fit will with the Summerset achievement furnishing) in the Sunken Trove crates, which we may expect will return soon.

Thanks ever so much for the tips. I'll look for the achievement furnishing from High Isle.

The one @Araneae6537 mentioned is the Firesong Spring, Basalt:


I used this in a house build just now (the thread is still open, see the one with "Gorinir Estate" in the title). The water is fairly shallow, roughly knee-deep I think.

@vsrs_au Thank you very kindly. The pool is nice and large. I will tear down my present flower patch and build around the Firesong Spring. Thanks again.

Thanks to @Araneae6537 and @vsrs_au I have made the Firesong Spring, Basalt the focus of my oasis with a triple waterfall.
