In Ultima VI, relaxing after an adventure in my base near the moongate northeast of Britain.

Using the program pu6e, I'm currently adding new islands called "home/mansion/museum/library" islands, for owning your own home you can decorate, "well-guarded night thieving" islands, for robbing a bunch of houses that replenish (if the idea works), and "combat gauntlet" islands, for adding intense, high level combat for high level players. If there's a legal way to share that work, I'll do so, but regardless, those are the areas I wish U6 had more of, but even without them this game is awesome and super inspiring for my game development now.

An update for this, is that adding an island in the corner of the world, corrupts the world file. So for now I've settled on adding small houses near many of the moongate locations, and you can use these houses as your own bases. If I remember I'll add pictures here of the one near Paws, and the one east of Britain.

Another good tool it seems for ths is U6Edit though I have not tried it yet.
