I love your update, Derry - especially the riverside, green spaces and trees between houses  :thumbsup:
I like all pictures, but some of them look extremely realistic - how to identify them? Of course - Consuming chocolate, Rubber bands, women and money  :D (really?), Strong tongue, and this poor ant... ;)

Maybe you didn't know, but I'm working on the SC4 Encyclopaedia project with some friends, it seems we should provide a special section in it to share all these facts from your MD  :D

Ok I had a day off from work and after getting all the bits and pieces that I had to do
done I found free time on my hands.

When playing the game I found that 4x4 zones for industry would break down into smaller
zones very quickly especially if I hit play.

So after a bit of deliberation I decided a place holder lot would help.
But that meant dealing with the LE.

The Lot Editor, a wonderful and mystifying tool. Right I thought its time for

and fire up the program.

As it was going to be a place holder I suppose it had to look somewhat like a building
site so with a few choice props and a sense of trepidation, off I wandered down the
path of the unknown. How would this all turn out?


By the way did you know?

Babies are born without knee caps. They don't appear until the child reaches 2-6 years of age.

I thought I'd throw that in for fun :)

Anyhow this is what I ended up with :)



close ups of the four corners









the entrance




Now I know there are lots to improve like ...

fences not all lined up perfectly
some better textures maybe
scaffolding very same - needs varition

but not too bad for a first go eh?

and this is here they get better have a look at them in game.

And as a bonus they grew  ()stsfd() ()stsfd() ()stsfd() ()stsfd()


Here they are in all their beauty





Now not only did I mess about with the LE I also messed about only a little bit with

the reader too and modded some stats too. :D
I mean number of jobs, length of construction  :D :D


grew on High density :thumbsup:


grew on med density  :thumbsup:


Names appears right in query :thumbsup:




the construction site were to employ 10 sims and has 8  I'm happy with that ()stsfd()
take 150 days to appear.  yep that worked too.

Commuters and freight -all good  :thumbsup:


and the other ?


time for a cuppa and a big fat grin :)

But wait whats this .......are those farms in the background????
It looks like so but wheres the buildings you say??
Ah he plopped them but no they are special made blank lots  ()what() Huh?

yep growable maxis farms without the buildings look see here are the zones



and if you query it?
the names are self explanatory ::) ;D ;D





They have just one job each too :D just about right for an empty field.  :thumbsup:

So folks what do you think of my afternoon and evening and nights work?


All comments good, bad, indifferent, suggestions the lot, come on let me know.
I'm a ready and waiting fo ya  %BUd%

Time for a cuppa now methinks  :D :D
