Show us your shoreline/seaport

[hconline]

I'm looking for some lots for container terminals, specifically, the yards full of containers in rows. I have SN's container set, but I'm more interested in the sets I'm seeing that have the tracks between rows....

Also, one other thing, when using SOMY's seaport lots, how are you all transitioning them to others, like say PEG's CDK3 SP lots?

HConline,

I advise you to take a cloes look at Soulstealer's Port realism Pack at the STEX:
http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=19554

And what do you mean by transitioning? You want to combine SOMY's lots with PEG's lots in one seaport?
I use Soulstealer's and PEG's lots for the real large terminals and I use SOMY's containercranes for the smaller container terminals: like where riverships dock to load and unload their containers.
Is that something you wanted to know? Otherwise, please elaborate on the question you have here.

Wow, these two pics are awesome! I hope you'll show us more of your amazing stuff!

That mosaic is incredible smtfrank! May I ask where you got those pent-house type housing at the shoreline?

I think Jacob (ShultzCity) meant the larger buildingsa in the second pic.

No, more like what lots do y'all use to change from SOMY's to PEG's visually. It's a tad annoying for me, because all the waterfront lots have their docks extending different amounts off the shore line. For instance SOMY's docks, some overhang a whole tile into the water, while others only stick out a quarter of a tile. PEG's are all a uniform one tile overhang, but it doesn't match SOMY's overhang...

That's what I mean. And thanks for the link to Soulstealer's stuff, just the thing I was looking for.

What a beautiful picture!

jjbao and smtfrank: Cheers to both of you for the amazing pictures! 

The pics on this page so far all all-timers in my opinion. I'm simply blown away.

EDIT: Sorry to faun, but I have to say, smtfrank, when I first saw your second picture - the small version - I thought you had posted a RL pic. Its amazing.

Ah, now I see. The answer is quite simple: I don't. I just put them next to each other. In real life seaports aren't always attractively designed with outlined piers either.
Off cours, you could put something in between like a small pier or put them around a corner. But basically, I just plop them regardless if they fit.

Great pic Andreas! I like the shoreline a lot! Which water mod is that?

           Your friend,

Thanks! The water mod the first water mod that was ever made, joerg's water mod (available at the STEX), together with Cycledogg's Columbus Terrain Mod.

not completely finished, but it's a hawaiian style Island

I'm from Hawaii. It looks good, except for the lack of beach access from the hotels.
Waikiki has a small breakwater for a section of beach without waves. If you have room...

Thanks Andreas! downloads . Nice pic Delta!

Andreas, is the Columbus Terrain mod responsible for that beautiful grey rocky beach?
