Great work Kergelen! I think you've been largely successful so drop the "trying"

Looks like we need to make something else for you, though.

Sim_link: Currenly I'm on suburb mood
swordmaster: Thanks for the curve! I still don't download the new NAM ( RL leave me few hour the last days, and like the important things in the life, NAM need time) so I don't know if it's included. It'll be a surprise
Benoit: Many thanks
Badsim: The pictures are inspired by olive fields in diferent places like "Cadaqués" and "Banyuls sur Mer", so relatively close to your town.
Great news: poppies and more mediterranean stuff   Looking forward to you surprise... Thanks

Update 25


Today more suburbs and some other things. These suburbs are located in a a city tile close to the center of Merkine. There are a highway and a rail line to connect the area with the city center and with a industrial area. The suburbs are built on a site where they were olive fields and in the city limits we can see that fields. Also we see some old farms integrated in the suburbs.

I plan to use extensively the olive fields in futures towns and villages, and for this reason I create a small set of growable olive farms like the ones I MMPed some months ago ( Badsim post). To achieve the same landscape with growable fields that with MMP fields, at first I deleted the base texture with the reader, but doing this wasn't a good solution because we see the texture of the yellow farming zone. The satisfactory solution is to put a transparent texture ( Shadow assasin texture, that Badsim always is talking about) so the texture of the fields is the Terrain texture, and I have diferent textures depending on the Terrain and height.    I also reduce the "Occupant Size" of the props to 1,1,1 in order to be free to MMP the field depending of the situation. And finally, following FrankU's work, I made Ploppable fields to put where there is no funcional road/street ( mountains,...). To make the growable fields realistic there isn't Farmhouse building (usually in RL not every field have a building). I only plop one Farmhouse near the fields. And finally, following FrankU's work, I made Ploppable fields to put where there is no funcional road/street ( mountains,...)

In the future I plan to make vines, apple, and maybe more kind of transparent fields. That's all, I think.

Now the pictures

Those few shots looked very nice! I loved the Mediterranean styled suburbs.

And that overshot of the whole town looked pretty cool!

[rooker1]

Breath taking city and great effect shoots there at the end.
I really like the complexity of the transit layouts, it's very interesting.

Those last few shots are some of the best I've ever seen. The rest of them are "just" awesome     Fantastic mix and transitions urban to rural and back.


Check PM

Amazing stuff. I really like the orange & grey train flying over the freeway.

[Schulmanator]

Looks great, even when the weather is bad!

[vortext]

Very pleasant scenery and it looks realistic as well! No small feat, well done! 

[noahclem]

Beautiful update    It's a distinctly different style than I'm used to from you but just as excellent. Exciting modding/lotting too, btw
