Title: Show us your . . . . current projects
Post by: keithsed on February 08, 2007, 07:44:42 PM
Hi:

I thought it would be nice to see everyone's current projects.  I would be interested in seeing what you are working on and how you're developing and planing them. I know there are a lot of good finished projects being shown here, but for myself, I would be interesting in seeing how you started them and how they grew and advanced.     

It would be sort of like a mini Mayor's Diary, but only for one project, or more depending on how things are posted.  I don't want the pressure of posting and keeping a large Mayor's Diary project going.  That is a big responsibility and I feel it is beyond my capabilities right now.  When I see threeRR's, Badsim's and the Teton project I know it's way over my head. 

Jeroni, I hope this is OK to start here, if not move it or delete it as you see fit.  No hard feelings. I don't get upset that easily.

Here is my current project.  I'm developing a city.  I've spent a lot of time putting in the infrastructure, i.e. major roads, a light rail system, freeways, avenues, canals, seawalls and railroads.  I'm about ready to invite the sims in to see what develops.

The first picture is an overall view of my city.  The light rail system shows up as white, the freeways you can see, the canals you can see, the major avenues are black, and the rail system is in grey.  I know there are some mapping mods that make it easier to see but I didn't want to take the time to find them and put them into my plugin folder. I will next time.

This second picture will be my industrial/rural area.  The lower right hand corner, by the light rail depot will be my industrial area. Above that, underneath the cloud and further North will be my farming areas.

This third picture will be my commercial and residential areas.  Everything from the freeway to the ocean will be commercial.  Between the two freeways and to the East will be my residential areas.

This fourth picture is a closer view of some "eyecandy" that I've been working on.  I used Jeroni's seawalls and think they turned out GREAT!!  Thanks Jeroni for all the time and effort you put into making them.  &apls They are going to look GREAT in my commercial area.

And finally, the last picture is a close up view of the tower on the right.




Now . . .  I would like everyone to show us your current project and what you are working on and the plans you have for future development.  I would like to know what problems you ran into and how you overcame them. 

Thanks.

Urban if you don't want to start the map from scratch I think I remember seeing the Du Bai map on STEX. 

I don't think I downloaded it.  You might do a search and see if you can find it if you want to start on a prebuild map.

Looking good.

this is a good idea...

i've been slowly working on a fairly large region with lots of cheats...here's the latest.

Sanantonio

I like the seaside baseball park.  I've got to file that away for a future city. 

I think we all use designer helps (cheats).  You can't be a perfectionist on $500,000.  I like the word designer helps rather than cheats  ;)

I like your idea of having the freeway run straight through the city.  It looks more realistic.  My city was at the very end of a peninsula so I couldn't do that so I made it circle.

It looks like you've used a single line of pine trees at the end of your light rail system.  Is that for future light rail tracks? 

Keep us posted of future developments.

Thanks.

Pretty impressive, Sanantonio. The beach is nice and clean--that's all I can say! Complex transportation system, too, I may add.

keithsed -
Thanks, I've used that park on the water idea before and like it, so here it is again.

I like "designer helps"...I think I'll use that if you dont mind.

I'm trying to force my residents to use alternate modes of transportation (instead of cars) and not use highways if I can get away with it.  Avenues for now, but I left room for future expansion. 

The trees mark where future GLR is going, but I plopped them very late one night, and now that I'm awake and coherent, it needs some adjustments.  Actually, the entire GLR line will be getting an overhaul. ???

Progress will be slow - 4x4 large tiles...One tile is complete (farming + a small town) and what can't be seen in my last pic has fully developed.

Other projects currently underway are the regional airport, the amusement park, military base and an Olympic city.  These are still in veeery early stages, so I'll post when it's time.  #stsfd·

Thanks, like I told keithsed, I'm forcing the sims to travel the way I want them to, so it's taking longer than usual.  I spent most of my time on the intersections. They've changed a little since I posted them here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=252.0), but not much.

Post by: keithsed on February 12, 2007, 10:52:49 PM
I'm with you on alternate modes of transportation.  I'm going to "blast" a few avenues to see if I can get them to climb on the GLR.
               
I've been working down on the farm, but the farmers I've got think it is eternal spring.  I'm having some trouble in the game getting the "seasonal" farms to recognize the season.  They all seem to think it's spring and stay brown dirt.  I've asked on the help forum to see if anyone can help me.  I don't know what is happening.  The computer placed them so I did not plop them.  I've tried rezoning agricultural again and it still doesn't change. I've plopped them myself and still no luck.

I don't give my old thought process enough time to figure out what looks the best.  I get a big demand for farms/low cost residence/industrial zones and I don't take the time to figure out the best looking zones and find the best plops. 

I just finished looking at Teton project and every one of his buildings look he spent a lot of time choosing the best looking one.  I've got to have more patience with my "plopping." 

Thanks again and lets get building.

Title: Re: Show us your . . . . current projects
Post by: Masochist on March 04, 2007, 12:11:14 PM
Current project, eh?  Okay, I'll bite...

This project is the first foray into a brand new region.  The project is sort of three-fold, really.  First, there's the part where I'm trying to make the city a fully-functional, at least semi-realistic city.  This is kinda hard for me, since I'm working with unusual terrain:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb99%2FJetWarrior%2FSimCity%25204%2520Pics%2FTheMountainside.jpg&hash=e7b3d4498090549049c1489f826acdb0aec358af)

...and looking west:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb99%2FJetWarrior%2FSimCity%25204%2520Pics%2FThefoothillsII.jpg&hash=e448571008f441a9e6cecfc6d886d86e5ac558f2)


From a mountain to a beach, you see?  And not too much room between the two. I don't want cliffs everywhere if they aren't necessary.  Along with that part of the project is the second part: making that beach look presentable.  This is how it looks now (facing west):

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb99%2FJetWarrior%2FSimCity%25204%2520Pics%2FWillowBeachtheprototype.jpg&hash=799774013a672d30c0eea3249d04a13d3d630f03)


Kinda ragedy, right?  But don't worrry...I haven't put in the seawall yet, and that cliff between the avenue and the street will be hidden and/or gone when I throw in some high-class resorts and residential towers and such.  I also need to find more flora for that beach...straight palms are terrible.  And I've got some other things in mind that I may or may not try as well.

Another key part of the first aspect of this entire project (the city-building aspect) is that I have this gigantic future industrial area waiting for me:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb99%2FJetWarrior%2FSimCity%25204%2520Pics%2FTheindustrialzonemodified.jpg&hash=34d242cce1e774629be291b80da61609998db29e)


It's connected to the residents by one long freeway.  And it's adjacent to the third part of the project: the future seaport.  I've never done a large-scale seaport before, but as you can see, I've got a bit of room to work with (that whole peninsula):

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb99%2FJetWarrior%2FSimCity%25204%2520Pics%2FFutureseaport.jpg&hash=a1a2ee50965852281165e01ed2fe9ddac0a7d70f)


I'll probably add another arm to it, just to increase the coast length and accomodate more types of ports.  I've got all of SOMY's stuff, and Peg's ports and such, but I won't even start terraforming to build it until I get the rest of the city up and running, and take a look at some of the tutorials on building a proper seaport (I need to find that one Emilin posted...).  But it's going to happen one day....

So that's my project.  I'd start a Mayor's Diary, but I don't know how often I'd update it; I'm pretty sporadic with my playing times.  So I'll just share it here.  When it's all said and done and lookin' good, I'll post the update.

This is a terriform project that is begining to get out of hand. I was experimenting with terriforming a quad by raising it, then lowering it one notch to get water, and the correct elevation for seaports. Then the rest just started. It is a representation of a Florida like setting with A1A in the foreground, the intracoastal waterway and the interstate. I just started this last night, it isn't very far along. I appologise for the fuzzy image, it is a merge of two screenies and some Corel cleanup. A closeup of possibilities is included.

I've been working on rebuilding the city of Ralston.  Currently, I've gutted the downtown and suburb directly east in order to start an extensive rebuilding... things are looking good.  Here's two closeups of some detail work I've been doing:

Hi everyone:

I'm sorry I haven't kept up on the new posts.  I've got some good news and some bad news.  First the bad news.  I had some slider bar problems in my first city I posted here.  The slider bar on my fire stations would not stay up.  It kept creeping down to zero and I would get a fireman's riot every couple of minutes.  It became a real thorn in the old side!  I asked for some help in another forum and I tried doing everything they suggested and I could not correct the problem.  Sooooooo   I gave it the old "CONTROL SHIFT O"

Now the good news.  I've started another map.  One good thing about belonging to a SC4 site, a good map is just a click away. 

I downloaded a new map.  It's a biggie, 228 cities in total.  I've been bringing up cities, planting forests, and then saving the durn things.  It takes FOREVER!  I finally finished the last city/god mode a couple of days ago and am now in the preliminary planing stages for a new city.  I've laid down a couple of freeways, connecting them to the neighbors and have decided to try my first sea port.  I'll post some pics when I have something to show.

Masochist  Slopes can cause some real problems.  It looks like you're doing a good job working with them.  I worked on Jeroni's slope city for a couple of weeks and know what you're facing.  Keep up the good work.  I'll be interested to see the next posts.

Sepsis I like how you've handled the train station.  Great use of bus stops and water feature.  It looks great.  &apls I also like the stadium.  I followed your linkie but had the same problem as other downloaders.  I don't know what happened but I got the same corrupt file message that the other guys got.  I tried to follow the thread and see if it was resolved but I couldn't find a solution.  Soooo, I guess I'll do without that terrific looking stadium.

Shoremaster VERY interesting seaport treatment.  Very unique &apls I've never seen anything like it before.  I'll have to file that treatment away on my internal hard disk (brain) and try it out on one of my new cities.  I don't think it would work with the one I've already got started. 

Well good simers, need to call it a day.  This d#@! daylight saving is for the birds :thumbsdown: Talk to you later. :)

It's supposed to say Phantom of the Opera, but I got tired of replopping the lot for the desired title. As for Hendrix, you can get tickets in that alley from a scalper. Of course, that theater's been closed for over 30 years...

Great looking map.

Where did you download it?  Is that the complete map?  I would like to download it as a keeper. I would like to post a pic of my entire map but I can't find the program to shrink it small enough to get it to fit on one picture. I know there is a program floating around to do that but I don't know where to find it.  If this is the complete map, what did you use?

Maybe my eyes are failing me, but I just notice it looks like you have the same problem that I did . . . flat mountain tops.  I think there is a setting you can adjust to avoid that look.  Each time I brought up a city on my new map that had flat mountain tops, I put peaks on them.  I never quite felt I got them to look like the original map.  If they are flat, are you going to put peaks on them?

Thanks.

Keith

As oldrogue said, that's haleburg/beskhu3epnm's Kinbasket Lake map, found here (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=17827).  I want it too, for my new region, but unfortunately, SC4Mapper isn't saving it for me.   :'(

The Kingdom or Carinthia has been investing heavily into r&d of NEO (Near Earth Orbit) platforms. These advancements come in response to increasingly aggressive and detailed tactics being discussed as actionable against the Carinthian military. Some interesting results have been approved for further development...

Two models of Vipers (mkII in white/red and mkVII in grey) along with a bomber and a Raptor EW/Recon ship in brown.
All models have dual capability for both spaceborne and atmospheric operation. The Raptor and Bomber are equipped
with a limited FTL jump drive, but the Vipers are designed for short range ops.

get this free program called irfanview if you don't have it. I do the jpegs for my cj/md around 8 compression and they have the same quality as your image but are only around 128 kb for a 800x600 pic

My current project is a huge map.  To start with I've decided to develop three rural cities.  They are Southport, Richmond and Greencastle.

I've only started Southport and Richmond

Here is an overview of the map with the three cities.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg408.imageshack.us%2Fimg408%2F7245%2Fcurrentmaplz6.jpg&hash=34f874826c7363b637f3a0483f01dcb41663c82b)


I'll start with Southport.

Here is the future port.  Not much to look at yet. In fact none are much to look at yet.  I just started them. 

I think I've made the port area it too large.  I think I might have to eliminate the last land area on the West, left hand side of the port.  Cut it off where the two opposing land masses almost meet. 

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg408.imageshack.us%2Fimg408%2F4637%2Fsouthportseaportcc0.jpg&hash=32daf5d4db567e261c09a5fea139e544514c7063)

Here is an overall picture showing the farms and city.

Here is a picture of Southport's rural town.

Now on to Richmond

Here is an overview or Richmond.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg408.imageshack.us%2Fimg408%2F2955%2Frichmondoverviewpq7.jpg&hash=9f39f357e25d21c25036127cfac5cd2397fb6f4a)

The town of Richmond.  On this town I decided to use double streets.  I thought it might be interesting to compare it with Southport.  The first thing I noticed is that it sure takes up a lot more space.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg408.imageshack.us%2Fimg408%2F6012%2Frichmondruraltownwh7.jpg&hash=5fb704de046f5715d872be0548b7b7f399646f6d)

and the last one, the farms of Richmond.  I've got to add a lot more farms since the demand is way up. With that small number that is to be expected.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg408.imageshack.us%2Fimg408%2F1238%2Frichmondfarmajc8.jpg&hash=a4c3cb9d43bfdb02891856d9af7bb0f850a9ce94)


I haven't started Greencastle.  That will be the next one.

I think I'll try and develop all of them into large cities.  It will take me a while but that is what SC4 is all about.

Kekus74 - I really like the Mediterranean look.  I might have to follow the "Threestooges" lead and bite the bullet. They're looking mighty good. 


Badsim - Thanks for the lead on Region Census.  I'll go and find it and use it next time. Is your (I know there is a name for it, but I can't remember it right now) "identifying picture" from Broke Back Mountain?  I saw that movie a couple of months ago.  Very sad story.

U3D - I can't believe you've developed that city in two or three days. Way to go. I worked on my first project for months and never got that far.  I guess I had better go read some tutorials on how to develop a large city.

Talk to you later.

I started working on a new city, Sofia, last night, and took some pictures while I was working on it.  It should be fairly obvious by now that I am tremendous fan of Haarlemergold's BATs; I think they are some of the best made and actively try to make them appear in my cities, hence this city design.  I think it has come out fairly well, personally.

Here's the full city shot I took before I went to bed, other pictures may not be consistent with this one (as I would take them and continue designing).  click on any image to see it full size.

the impetus for this entire city was a place for the ferry to be used, and here it is in use.  I think the port came out pretty well, actually.

a poorer section of town, right next to the dirtier industrial area.  kinda ghetto-ish, I guess.

Oldrouge, you said:

QuoteSpeaking of which.....what is map?   Did you do it yourself?  Or is it a download?

It's a download.  I found it on STEX by listing only maps and then choosing the most popular.  It's called Cape Newenham.  It's an acutal place located in Alaska.  I looked it up using "Live Search."  Live Search is a place where you can find maps from all over the world.  I've been using it a lot to get the names of my cities.  I'm not very good a naming cities so I look on their maps until I find one I like that seems to fit. 

It took me weeks and weeks to bring up each city on this map (like 228 ::)) and add the trees and fix the mountains.  I think you're correct when you said there is a setting that you have to change before you start on the map, but like you, I didn't play around with it before I started this map.  I was in a hurry to start a new city since my first one bit the dust.   &ops

The logs travel down the creek and are blocked by the little rock dam just past the mill. They are brought the the mill by the boats and then shipped out by rail.

Okay...so I'm back with a small update.

Remember that beach I was working on? (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=388.msg17211#msg17211)  Well...I finally started actual work on it :-[.  If you go back to that post, you may notice that that beach is the lowest of three levels where the mountains meet the sea.  I tried out some walls, and experimented with observation decks, and I think I found what I want, but I have to do a bit more experimenting...

I wanted to place hotels (and resort-looking buildings) on the middle level (with the two-lane road)...which is what I started doing.  I'm usually not a plopper, but that's the only way that I can make sure that it comes out exactly as I want it (the town's not big enough yet to support growables that big, and I don't have AK's patience ;)).  As I started doing that, I found that I had an interesting angle for taking photos.  So...I took some photos %wrd.  I took pictures of three views: one showing the avenue running behind the buildings, one showing just a tiny bit of the avenue, and one with the avenue cut out (and there's a daytime, nighttime, and sunset shot for each view).  Here's three representive shots of everything I just explained above:

View One (nighttime):
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb99%2FJetWarrior%2FSimCity%25204%2520Pics%2FNighttimeInParadise1.jpg&hash=1838e6e1adf6a183b0c1c00bfadc5474b336f768)

View Two (daytime):

Those darn square avenues... &sly

View Three (sunset):
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb99%2FJetWarrior%2FSimCity%25204%2520Pics%2FSunsetInParadise3.jpg&hash=4abdf2d92407e8a6e2940564845281a64a3141e1)

Of course, none of these are permanent.  Because of that odd angle (and long length), I have to really be careful about where I put each building.  I might not be able to keep them that close...but we shall see.  Whenever it is that I finish this beach, I'll post up more pictures.

Masochist: I like the depth the angle provides. The detail in the water and the palms on the beach are great touches, but (and I don't think that there is much that can be done) the avenue in the foreground has some interesting cliff angles. Nice job.

Mightygoose: That's a hefty map, I'll be interested to see what the twist is.

Keeping in line with my railroad theme, I submitted a pic to the photo competition a (long) while back, and it lost quite handily (from what I gathered, it was the road). The first will be how it was, and the second will show how it is now. If you have any further suggestions on ways to improve, please let me know. I believe the only changes were: train mods, trees for the streets, and peg's rail mod (and taking out the street mod...though I kind of liked it).

I've only started to hand-terraform, without the use of the terraformer tool as I can't be bothered to sit and work out how to use it. As well as special development at the foot of this area, all will be revealed in my next update.

@belfastuniguy-Very nice terraforming, though you might want to hit the "reconcile edges" button once in a while.  Those cliffs would be a nightmare for roads.   :D

@threestooges-I have to say that the second pic is much better.  The brick street looked really out of place in the rural area (I might even suggest a dirt street mod, though it would probably get screwed up by that house.

Hey, everyone,

Nice projects going on, SC keeps us quite busy, eh?  threestooges, I'd like to see more of your timber industry if you've got any more development, and the rural area did benefit from the changes IMO.  Masochist, that beach is quite unusual and dramatic, I like the mystery about it.  mightygoose and belfastuniguy, those are some nice rugged regions.  football_fever, that looks like something out of Star Wars or something, how did you terraform so squarely?  beebs, I follow your masterpiece at ST, and it's been an eventful ride.

Well, my project is not much comparably, but one step of it is finished.  My farming village tile, Robertson is complete.  On to the next city in the region of which you will hopefully be seeing more.  Here's the overview:

Well, this is not as much a city-building current project of mine, as it is a region-building project.  ;D

As stated elsewhere, reading JRR Tolkien's "The Silmarillion" has renewed my interest, and indeed proliferated my obsession if you will, with Tolkien's universe, Eä. So here's my on-going project to integrate and interpret Endor, more commonly known as Middle-Earth, into SimCity 4.

The map was provided by Heblem and is available here (in three formats) -> Click! (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=17303) It is not strictly accurate or in anyway canonical as it adds lands further to the south that Tolkien himself never even mentioned or perhaps, dreamt of in his wildest dreams.  :P

Anyway, I'm in the process of opening and saving each of the large city tiles (10x11 in total) and doing some minor terraforming - especially on the rivers.  ;D It's not accurate or to scale (as far as I can see) and I don't intend for it to be either. My purpose for this is more than 6 000 years after the War of the Ring as it played out in the Third Age. In my mind, this is located firmly within the 7th Age. More specifically, 61 years into the 7th Age.  $%Grinno$%

I guess it's time to shut-up and show you what I've been on about.  :P

Thank you Owen!  ;D

On the subject of Mt. Doom (yes, it was correct), I have also found this map -> Click! (http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=18299) (by Japamala) which happens to be a very accurate representation and interpretation of the Gondor, Mordor and parts of Rohan map at the end of the Lord of the Rings book.  ;D I was very pleased with the accuracy and scale of the map and have decided to fire it up in-game too.  :D

It's an 8x8 (large city tiles) map.

That looks great. I've always thought the mouth of the Anduin in the maps to be a more artistic representation than actuality, with the long thin fingers. It'd be interesting to change them around a bit.

A quote from the great JRR Tolkien himself:
Quote...as for the shape of the world of the Third Age, I am afraid that was devised 'dramatically', rather than geologically, or paleontologically.
From here -> Click! (http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2007/06/03/121-where-on-earth-was-middle-earth/) :D (Although I think that site's map is utter crap :P)

I rather like the 'finger' delta of the Anduin. I think it's justifiable in the light of the deltas of the Nile and Niger rivers in Africa. ;)

QuoteAnd Nen Hithoel should be raised up for the rauros falls :P

One day, when someone figures out how to make Maxis water be visible on and run down from higher elevations - to form a waterfall - then it will indeed be shown as such, until then, there shall be no complaints, okay? :P

Hmmm...been a while since I visited this thread.

Well, if you remember waaaaaay back when I posted [this post] (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=388.msg17211#msg17211), you'll remember my three-fold project.  Well...it's been scrapped.  I realized the region was too large in scale for what I wanted to do...so I made a new one based off of that one, except on a much smaller scale. 

With this new region, I decided to work backwards.  Instead of building the city and then building the seaport, I decided to work on the seaport first.  This was the preliminary work area of the seaport (based on the one in the first region, of course):

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb99%2FJetWarrior%2FSimCity%25204%2520Pics%2FBlankSeaportLandprelim.jpg&hash=dd82b6a78b916768ae1cf9a7e87ad4fd0858641f)

Then I went through some threads, read through emilin's "Build A Port" tutorial, and decided that that was too basic.  So I changed it:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb99%2FJetWarrior%2FSimCity%25204%2520Pics%2FBlankSeaportland.jpg&hash=5fa5bfb7b674350462d3c0374c7d65e82782d591)

And then I built the seaport itself.  I paid very close attention to emilin's tutorial, because I wanted my port to look good.  It started out like this:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb99%2FJetWarrior%2FSimCity%25204%2520Pics%2FSeaportProgress1.jpg&hash=57769aedf17c6668e68e16422b1262ee7bae7150)

I did a bit of rearranging, tried to use as many different port sets as I could for the different arms.  I've been working on it for a while now, and it's pretty close to being finished.  Here's what it looks like currently:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb99%2FJetWarrior%2FSimCity%25204%2520Pics%2FSeaportProgress3.jpg&hash=02f0d1d449cd72fda6d3fce8b5f626736eea86de)

So that's what I've been doing for the past couple of nights or so.  Next up will be the industrial area to the north, as well as the recreational harbor on the opposite side of the industrial ones:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi17.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb99%2FJetWarrior%2FSimCity%25204%2520Pics%2FSeaportProgress4.jpg&hash=f2d975f1bbb6b66b1e181d5f70d995365a3a52d7)

If you'd like to see more pictures of this Seaport, [click here] (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=77.msg90885#msg90885).


I'd really like your input on this seaport.  This is the very first large-scale seaport I've ever done, and the largest custom-content project I've ever undertaken.  If you have any pointers on how I might make it better, please let me know!

Very well done, Bigberta! &apls   :thumbsup:  &apls

It actually took me a minute to figure out which streets were on the diagonal.  That's enough to make me impressed by itself.  On top of that feat, everything fits and flows together very well too!

I've been working on a section of city that looks like Coruscant.  As far as I know, no one has come too close.

Here I laid out the underground city stuff to make it look like the ground level is way above ground

The terraformed mesas are for normal buildings to stick out over the white filler pieces, which are very tall.

Here it is mid-build

Whoa! Just awesome suplado!  Looks just like a crescent moon!

Heres something I've been working on.  Its a large interchange between two 12 lane highways.

You can click on the images to view them in FULL RESOLUTION! (1440x900 px)

Overview:  It is one massive slab of asphalt.  Most of the interchange is shown here
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg221.imageshack.us%2Fimg221%2F882%2Ftheinterchangejan130011cn5.jpg&hash=e94a34cdf8127b5198f745eb90b0a5d586e4a877) (http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/882/theinterchangejan130011cn5.jpg)

Here is the central stack interchange which connects the collector lanes from one highway to the other.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg179.imageshack.us%2Fimg179%2F5733%2Ftheinterchangejan130011pw4.jpg&hash=5b4684d432a75f2afd1f28b3cea74f24bb0fb1a0) (http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/5733/theinterchangejan130011pw4.jpg)

This is the southeast side of the interchange.  Here you see connections between express and collector lanes as well as a few ramps for local traffic.  To the left of this image is the main stack that connects the express lanes of each highway with one-another.  The proximity of the T-bone interchange with the stack image is the closest two ramps come together in the entire interchange, but are just far enough away from one-another to prevent any weaving.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg266.imageshack.us%2Fimg266%2F5622%2Ftheinterchangejan130011fi3.jpg&hash=e030c3bed089fd50f1086c3bcfd84e4faf81975c) (http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/5622/theinterchangejan130011fi3.jpg)

Looking northeast now.  Here you can see a spur highway connects express with collector lanes between the two highways.  If you look at the main 12 lane artery, you can see that the express lanes become elevated and veer off to the south to allow the collector lanes hook up with one-another.

Here is a more centralized view of that diversion.  This also showcases the stack interchange that connects the express lanes of each highway together.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg232.imageshack.us%2Fimg232%2F9519%2Ftheinterchangejan130011lh3.jpg&hash=eae104130edd433dc4b25279ec7144bec2956745) (http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/9519/theinterchangejan130011lh3.jpg)

In this picture, we see the express lanes of the other highway leave its collectors to connect to the stack interchange.  There are also many local connections in this photo that are accessible from the collector lanes.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg338.imageshack.us%2Fimg338%2F8518%2Ftheinterchangejan130011ag9.jpg&hash=5c0eb068e14e3442ec3b17225a7a14534b48844d) (http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/8518/theinterchangejan130011ag9.jpg)

In the south of the interchange, we see the express lanes of the east/west highway hook up with the collector lanes of the north/south highway, and vice versa. Several local connections are displayed as well.

In the west of the interchange, we see the express lanes rejoin its collectors which intersect at the stack interchange to the right.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg523.imageshack.us%2Fimg523%2F6356%2Ftheinterchangejan130011bs5.jpg&hash=560a22beb9bbdaa44ea5d83c7dcf22e7312f1c00) (http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/6356/theinterchangejan130011bs5.jpg)

In the north, we see the same thing happening as well.  There also is a connection on the collector lanes that provide access to local roads

The following pic doesn't really fit in any of the "Show us your..." threads, so I though I post it here... An important part of today's city planning is the development of vacant areas in a quarter, also known as "urban infill". Quite often, I face myself with those problems in SC4, and this time, I had to deal with an L-shaped area between the city center (on the right) and a suburban shopping area on the left.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg212.imageshack.us%2Fimg212%2F8229%2Furbaninfill2yi7.jpg&hash=0286369576cf9e4fceff5523e7733fabbba94184)

The in-game Convention Center founds its place there rather quickly, but after being empty for a long time, I finally had the idea to build Bandito's Kölnarena, basically as an extension of the Convention Center. The strip along the road next to the city hall and the hospital was filled with DuskTrooper's excellent loft buildings, and as you can imagine, it took quite a while (and lots of bulldozing), until they grew in this configuration. I was waiting for the dark-brown Jaquinto Lofts without luck, but I guess it looks quite nice as it is now - probably my best compilation of loft buildings so far. :)

The city of Hammbruck

It will be a new chapter in my recreation-MD. The city will be fantasy, but based on the cities of "Basel, Switzerland" and "Bremen, Germany". It's situated on the German/French border and the city also has a Parisian inspired part of town.

In this picture you see the overview of the German side of the city. With top left the river and it's industries and port. Bottom left are newly neighbourhoods with hgihrises and appartment-complexes. Top right is the oldest part of the city, with church, stores and historic plazas. Middle of the picture contains the central station (German), the exhibition centers and city-park.

@bighead99, if that is the same concept of big dig, it shouldn't be hard, I had made, my own secret tunnel lots by using the subway. It functioned with commute traffic actually proceeding through. So you could probably path it from the ground up yourself.

If I use the rail big-dig and the road big-dig, then I have two systems that convert to subway as underground transport. Does this mean that if I cross a rail big-dig and a road big-dig that I can convert train traffic into car traffic? That will become a horrible mess!  ()what()

tankman, that looks like a very well-put-together Asian city!  I like the layout you have decided, because the towers don't completely overpower the homes.  And it's really nice to see MAS71's river sections being put to such good use.  They look amazing in your city :thumbsup:!

Hmmm...well, my latest project is Merideth Valley (just click these to see the full size pictures):

after having no luck finding any lists on how 'effects' are used on lots, ive begun to explore what they all do. there are about 100 or so of these effects in my LE window and unfortunately most of them do what they say while others i cant even get to show up. here are a few of the more useful ones ive used. i will be adding a list to the effects thread in the LE help directory in a day or so if youre interested in knowing what each effect does.

sorry for the thumbnail pic here, but when scaled down the details are lost. here is the ghosties effect, which works during most of october. also, i used jeronijs tankfire water effect. the tankfire water effect makes for some great fireflies in game. thats right, those white specs on your screen arent dust and they look even better in game.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg503.imageshack.us%2Fimg503%2F7194%2Fhaeundaeoct130212189394co1.th.png&hash=44db0c429100904137e44e5df2b41c8b367be0a0) (http://img503.imageshack.us/my.php?image=haeundaeoct130212189394co1.png)

the reason i started wondering about effects was for this reason alone. i wanted to make a land reclamation area. the water spraying out of the pipes is from the fire hydrant effect. unfortunately its only available from july 5-11 so you gotta watch for it.

On the Straddle carriers, make the handle rails a little thinner, otherwise they look incredible, colors will match with my cranes I'm working on right now also  ;D

This 'project' I'm working on is a collabortation of ideas. Firstly, it's combining what, as a child, I though NYC was like, then Boston, Seattle, and other cities. It's in it's early stages and I'm sorry about the small pictures, but here's a few pictures of Haverhill Metropolitan Region.

This is the main area of the city of Haverhill. I'm debating whether or not to make that piece of land off the end of the city an oceanside park of have it just be more ocean. Any thoughts?

Hi everybody!

This is my current project...

Freemont Hills is a small town (1.000 inhab) located far from major urban centers. Life here is calm and commercial activity is the main livelihood of the local economy. The people are friendly and always has a smile for visitors.

The image is part of my current project, which could become an MD soon. Please, post your comments about this image. I hope you like it!

See you soon!

Blub! Old thread is revived, but still old!

Been working on learning Blender the last few weeks. Obviously I have not added any windows or a door yet, while doing a bunch of boring tutorials I thought I had to test to make a fairly standard looking Swedish home. Although its small(~34m/sq bottom floor/16m/sq top floor). I've got this idea to make a bunch of R$, R$$ and R$$$ Stage 1-3 homes with gardens, all the houses having the "faluröd" red colour and white decor. Have to test the full cycle before I start it off though(Export to Gmax and Sc4, and make it grow in-game).

Cheers

Hi. I've had SC4 for a few years, now. I've been lurking around here and Simtropolis for quite some time, though. And with all the brilliant cities, I've seen, I wanted to try my own serious one. This is a recreation of a 'city'. Only the city I'm recreating is from a popular videogame, originally on the PlayStation 2. I tried to make it as accurate as possible, but due to the limits of the game, I often have to improvise. But I think it's turning out well.

Can anyone guess it?

-A National Guard supply and weapons depot. (Hint: in the game's earlier missions you assault this place). The shoreline behind it needs some work; I was rushing to get it done.

QuoteWill you make all of the cities? That would be cool!

I'm going to try to. The success of Los Santos so far gave me some hope.

Unfortunately, I think I may have trouble with the desert. Installing a terrain mod for sand for Las Venturas and the Badlands would jack with the rest of the cities in the region. ( I think, I've never used terrain mods). If there are any large scale, terrain conforming, ploppable sand, that would be great.

Also, I'm working mostly from memory, and a blank overhead map of the city.

If anybody knows where I can get a map that shows the location of the main hospitals/police stations/fire departments in the city, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi everyone,

The region I've been working on for a while is called Pravlovszk:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fkepfeltoltes.hu%2Fthumb%2F090527%2Fregio_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg&hash=43ba1529949391381bbd1513f8a5f74987f19de6) (http://kepfeltoltes.hu/view/090527/regio_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg)

It's a plain, where several rivers run into each other, with some hills to the north-west (hand-made, they will be improved later as I make progress). It is a little similar to Budapest (capital of Hungary). The centre of the region is the city of Mitszenszk, an industrial centre, which will have an extensive agglomeration of smaller towns and villages. I expect the total population to be about 600.000, but that is not sure. I'd like it to give an Eastern European impression.

Here's a part of Mitszenszk I've completed already:

Post by: nerdly_dood on June 04, 2009, 07:49:38 PM
There's really no such thing as a "final version" of my mods, as I['m constantly finding things to improve upon, and uploading the results as an update to existing files on the STEX. (See links to development thread and STEX files in my sig)

As a rather extreme example, take the hatchback. It started off as Maxis' regular luxury car model - then I shortened the back end and did a few accompanying tweaks to make the changes look good; I also shortened the hood, and changed the headlights and taillights. Since I changed it so much I'll have to create a new headlight model for it but that won't be hard at all.

Most of my tweaks are ironing out a few minor wrinkles that can't be easily seen in-game, but it's my intention not just to iron out the wrinkles, but to dry-clean, starch, thoroughly iron and custom-fit these mods so that there's a mod for everyone to enjoy.

Because of the enormous amount of Custom Content and ideas shown on this site I always get distracted form one of the most simple, but awarding, goals of this game: growing skyscrapers. I never had a city developed that far that I had a real skyscraper area.
So now I really try hard to reach this goal in a new region. Please don't distract me too much! $%Grinno$%

It starts with an empty area of 16 mid size tiles.
I called it Welsum; after a very small village near my hometown. Why? Just for the fun of it, one of the other really important goals of this game.

Here is Welsum. Boring, isn't it?
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi277.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk63%2FFrankU_bucket%2FWelsum%2FS_Welsum-01Leeg.jpg&hash=20041eb36039052ff468d27c15d4b9efb02c75ed)

Then I filled it up with a real "first year's players" grid, with only one deviation: the two "central" axes that cross in the second tile from south and the second from west.

Still quite boring, right?

Then I added the rivers: all plopped Jeronij Canals. Here and there I added some bridges.
It becomes more interesting now, or not?

Now I added the Highways. Mostly sunken ones. I never used the RHW, I didn't feel like them.

And then the city building started.
This is how the region looks now.

One of the main goals is also to break the grid, play with it and use it for my own purposes. I hope there will be some interesting developments.

I have no details for now.
A CJ would be too much for me, so I show the stuff here.

impressive stuff guys....

here is a little picture of the radiotower (the highest structure city-wide, so far) in a small park that is located in a southern part of the city core.
as you can see, the park is surrounded by some pre-war buildings and some 1960 project-living. connected to citycenter via tram (on the pic), bus and train.

My current and on-going project, working on my most favourite city in the world: a 90 tile (10 x 9 large city tiles) section of the greater Washington Metropolitan Area.

The next phase would be the actually planning of the layout of the area (infrastructural, residential, suburban, commercial, industrial, agricultural, naval, military, etc.) I do hope to have it resemble as closely as possible the layout and feel of Washington, D.C., Alexandria City, Arlington County and all those other parts captured here.

Thank you very much! It is indeed one of the NHP and Blade / Troy's best maps, in my opinion, ever!  ;D

As for my computer, I am using an Acer Aspire 5315 laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, an Intel Celeron CPU 560 @ 2.13GHz 2.13GHz (for some reason it is put there twice lol) and 2.00GB RAM.

In addition to this, I also use what I would term micro-management of Plugins: having plugins for rendering terrain and tree-ifying regions to speed up loading, and then plugins for playing a region, which would have it all. I also am a firm believer in proper plugin organisation and dat-packing.

I also hate functional plobbables, and have removed most, if not all, functional plobbables that have growable versions. I believe cities grow over time, they are not plopped. :P

On another note, I also used, in this instance, a CP tree mod that doesn't place trees as densely to increase performance. :)

I thought it apt for me to rather post in this thread again - despite the fact that I was the last person to post here - specifically because I don't have the time, images or will power to launch a full-scale MD at this point.

Developing Washington, DC, and doing the city the justice, is quite challenging. The transit networks are especially challenging, particularly as I am a political scientist and not a civil engineer!  :P

Therefore, while I continue developing DC, I thought it a welcome break to give attention to something closer to home - and closer to my heart - and develop the skilfully recreated map of the City of Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula (recrafted and SC4-ified by the NHP's Travis).

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi921.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fad59%2FMariusHR%2FCape%2520Town%2520General%2Fc98b957e.jpg%3Ft%3D1247231973&hash=d65234865836dfd55c66d2ac0f9b492eedab7b53)

Today I spent some time developing the Table Bay area - more specifically, trying to get the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and Cape Town harbour to look like something and be functional. (The above image shows a "before" shot).

Before I launch into the details, this is the general area of focus:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi921.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fad59%2FMariusHR%2FCape%2520Town%2520General%2F5b7741c7.jpg%3Ft%3D1247231977&hash=d0960dbb361746e22b3773202da20acb6d4d3000)

The above shows the City Bowl, known as such because of the "bowl" created by the surrounding mountains - of which Table Mountain is indubitably the most famous - including the Cape Town CBD. Also indicated is the V&A waterfront and the Cape Town Harbour (with Ben Schoeman dock the furthest away from the city, and Duncan dock then being closer). Also indicated is Green Point - home to Green Point commons and Mouille Point lighthouse, as well as one of the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup stadiums - and Sea Point - a largely residential development.

It ought to be quite clear that I extensively re-imagined and re-worked the harbour and waterfront, struggling with and keeping in mind the constraints of the grid and the future development of the area. I don't know how the Capetonians would feel about their new Table Bay development! :P

For those of you who have not yet had the fortune to visit our "Mother City", this is what you see (courtesy of Google Earth) from Table Bay:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi921.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fad59%2FMariusHR%2FCape%2520Town%2520General%2Ffeff3c6d.jpg%3Ft%3D1247231973&hash=219bbcd9041afdcab438c03bf557b5981a643149)

Breathtaking in real life, I must say. :P

Anyway, the next few steps for me would be to develop the Table Bay area as follows:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi921.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fad59%2FMariusHR%2FCape%2520Town%2520General%2Faf359312.jpg%3Ft%3D1247231977&hash=565a1fc8a74334e7c658b239254c93d07206ce5a)

The 'blue' being the largely commercial V&A waterfront, the yellow being the largely industrial container docks of the harbour, and the future marina development indicating the location of Granger Bay and the marina development there.

I am not going to stick to the details of RL Cape Town (CT for short) too much, but will bear in mind general 'realities' as I develop this beautiful and prime residential and commercial stretch of land jutting into the cold Southern Atlantic Ocean!

If you have any suggestions, comments or thoughts on developing harbours, marinas and waterfronts, it would be MUCH appreciated. Again, I'm not a civil engineer and am largely "winging it!"  ;D

here is a lot that ive just started editing.  its not the best model (much, much better than what i could do) but i like its uniqueness.  its based off a real building
somewhere, i cant even remember where i got this bat from, or who made it.  anywho, i was looking for some help.  im not sure which base textures i should
use, mainly for the center part.  its difficult to find any textures that are able to follow these curves if i was to use muliple base textures or overlays.  also, any recommendations
for props?  ive found that ave. roundabout fillers fit well with the curved inner section (the top of pic 3) but thats a bit showy for this i think.  i was hoping to make the lot just as unique
as the building but i dont think its gonna stand out too much. 

any ideas from you lot making gurus out there would be appreciated.  if not, i will post the finished product in the 'custom lots' thread sometime soon.

@ jmdude1: what a wonderful building. remembers me of some blocks in former east berlin or some buildings in moscow i've seen.

i think a playground for kids to play, teen to hang out, smoke and do whatever, would be realistic. maybe sum trees, a small sea too.

It is a unique building! I think I remember seeing it a while back over at Capital Simcity. I have no input on props , but since it was a low wealth building(or at least a government type housing)except that  I think some concrete and some scrubby flora would be a start...if that was the direction you were thinking about.

Started my first major foray into terraforming today. Up until now I've been playing on the Maxis regions, and only changing the landscape when I needed to for development or somesuch. Started out with a blank "new region", and here's what I've got so far. Some advice would be really helpful, as I've got no idea what I want to do with the area south of the river.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fd137%2Fcheezymadman%2FSC4%2Fmountains.jpg&hash=06fdcf1e2b76e9126c7ce3b3d029186fee6a9b96)

The part where the river forms an island is probably my favorite area, and I'm thinking of making that one of my major commercial centers. The delta is probably going to be mostly residential, with some light shopping areas and pedmalls.

Another thing I'm wondering is the mountains. Is it possible to add waterfalls to make that area look more realistic? Mountain lakes don't just form like that, they need a feeder system.

The only way to make waterfalls is to use plopable lots. There are a few on the LEX, STEX (At ST), and the PLEX (at SimPeg).

I figured out the waterfalls part. Too bad they don't show up on the region view. I used the Wave3 stream mod, I think it was called.

As for my region, I'm wondering if there's a way to shrink the overall size down. If I could get rid of most of the area south and east of the river, it would really cut down on empty space to fill. Plus it would make it easier to get a nice-looking region with less flat ground and more city density.

You can try making the config file smaller, or just making the parts you don't want gray. But, make a back up first.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't realize you could do that with the config bitmap. Region Census is a nice little tool, too. Full region pics with no toolbar? Yes please.  ;D Here's what I've got now.

May I post a picture I made for my CJ ?
I find it interesting for this thread...

I am working on this country since few weeks and have already a lot of projects (and works) to do in goal to make the best maps and cities I can.
The begin of the list is :
- new vineyards(almost completed. I am now askng me f I try to put them seasonal or not. Hard work...);
- new rural items (to complete the Ruralset I made and put on the Stex);
- new south France buildings and houses (half completed). I ll have to handle the family prop component to bring this serie at a high usability level...;
- new props and shop signs (like window boxes with geranium or "Café-Tabac" shop sign)

To illustrate these projects, here is a good illustration :

Post by: Steamrobin on August 08, 2009, 06:56:50 AM
As you can see in my CJ, I am batting some new houses to suit with my Beaujolais Valley design. A total of about 20 models are planed and 6 are already made...
These are French houses and buildings very common in the center and south of France (but not the far south like Provence or Côte d'Azur where houses are more Mediterranean styled).
These days, I am planing some improvements to this serie like making some variations of colors on the roofs, the walls, the windows frames, etc. Also, making some shop signs as props like "restaurants" or "café-tabac" typical in France.
In this way, I had the idea yesterday to create some windows box with geranium, as props.
I find it pretty cool and really in touch with the look of some rurals towns and villages. In France, we have a kind of annual competition between the towns that is called "Villages Fleuris" (Villages with flowers).
I am searching other ideas like this one. Easy to put on a building (or props) to make random variations while ploping them (using the family prop properties to change props at each clic or while growing...).
For example, I think to create some really different cheminees terminations to put them on the existant and basic model I did yet. Or putting some antenas of different sorts...
Have you got any other ideas or feedback about this ?
For example, why not creating the doors as props to vary them ?

As always, like for my Ruralset, I am searching new ideas that focus on simple concepts like puzzles and one vision that could be sum up like this : "How obtaining more with few" ? More variety, more usability, more originality, more perennial, etc.

On the pict below, the window boxes come with 3 sorts : red, yellow and mixed geraniums :

Some good stuff in here.

This is my current project, maybe not as impressive a feat of civil engineering as some here, but it's what I've been working on lately -- a new region map, ready for building.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg38.imageshack.us%2Fimg38%2F2029%2Fnewarea.jpg&hash=c0f6a393971ed78a98fd153c397ab6e06fd4ad4d)


It's 7x5 large city tiles, which ought to be plenty big enough for all I want to accomplish. I'd gotten frustrated with the space limitations of the 4x4 region I was working on, and I wanted an area big enough to have some variety in what I could build, and some open space too. 7x5 should do.  :D

Plans are for two main cities, a mid-sized gritty port city where the three rivers meet, and a more low-density, green "state capital" type city down there at the southeast corner of the region. With suburbs, some farms, open space, etc etc, filling out the region. I've sketched out a tentative map of the major highways and railroads, and I've got a big-picture idea of how everything's going to fit together; now it's time to stop planning stuff and actually start building stuff!

Ok, maybe I'm outclassed by some of the stuff I see here, but I thought I would share. Here is a city I'm playing with. I may rebuild a new city on a similar idea. All houses face a pedestrian walkway, with backlane bays. I took the idea from a neighbourhood called Wildwood Park. There isn't a back lane tile in SC4, so I just used streets. Walkways are implemented as ped mall. I first plop the Park Sidewalk, the plop a Mountain Path over top; the result retains the lamp posts, park benches, trees, and flower planters from the Park Sidewalk. Down the centre of each bay is a single square wide ped walkway, as are the walkways between bays. Down the centre is a double-wide (2 square) ped walkway. At the intersection of 4 bays is a feature, alternating between a small commercial cluster or park feature. At every commercial cluster is a subway station, with the subway line running beneath the double-wide ped walkway. Power plant for this city is a Waste to Energy plant augmented with windmills. Each bay connects to a road, with 3 roads so far. This leaves two double-wide ped walkways, and another two on the outside are only built single-wide so far. Commercial clusters are arranged checkerboard fashion. The central park feature is replaced with a school cluster: elementary, high school, and library, with subway station at the school cluster. Most park features have something unique: tennis court, flower garden, but all have at least one park green and one playground. The idea is to ensure grocery store and other common services and hopefully most people's place of work are within walking distance of any home, and subway service to distant places such as a major shopping mall, downtown offices or industrial area. Some commercial clusters have a medical clinic, and the avenue to the idustrial park has a fire station. So far it has significant pedestrian traffic, but still too much road traffic.

This is a self made map (with a self made grey scale file.. ) of the "metropolitan area" of Magadan, In Russia (Магадан  in Russian). The city is located in the Magadan Oblast in the Extreme East of Russia.

But, I keep the actual MD , as the name of the region still is Svanskinahya. The region is a 8x9 big city tile, so 8x4 on 9x4 Kilometers, so a  32x36 kilometers region, at a scale of 1:1 (I took ti use a Google Earth picture of the area with a square of 4x4 (a tile) real kilometers drawn to get the good size.

It actually does look alot like Wildwood park, except with alot less trees, and no river passing by.  The idea is good (and it's a nice neighbourhood in real life to emmulate), but I think it would look alot better with more trees and maybe more parkland.

Thank you. Actually I didn't initially know placing a Mountain Trail on top of a Park Sidewalk would leave the props of the Park Sidewalk. I hadn't bulldozed and rebuilt most walkways, just used the double step method for new walkways. I have been looking for how to build a custom ped mall tile, using a concreate (grey) walkway like Park Sidewalk, as well as the props from Park Sidewalk (perhaps without the concrete flower planters), but active as a ped mall. Still haven't learned how. Anyway, I rebuilt those paths just for you. Here is a new picture. (Lower resolution so the image file isn't so big. I had to delete some stuff from my personal web space hosted by my ISP; hitting disk quota.)

Wildwood Park doesn't have commercial space right in the residential neighbourhood, or schools for that matter. I put those right in the neighbourhood to add to pedestrian use. I have often read that the latest thinking in city planning is a mix of residential and commercial, so people can live close enough to work to just walk.

For those reading this who aren't familiar with Wildwood, it is built in the loop of the Red River, and has a community centre with two outdoor hockey rinks, and a baseball diamond outside the ring road, adjacent to the river. There is also St. John's Ravenscourt private school (a small campus) just outside the ring road to the southeast. That is the most expensive private school in the province. And a dirt ridge to the north separates the residential community from a full-size golf course, which also has 11 tennis courts. Quite the upscale neighbourhood. To the west there are public schools within walking distance: elementary, junior high, and high school. And 5 blocks west of Wildwood Park is Pembina, an avenue that is the major shopping route in the south end of the city. Pembina also leads to the largest university in the province, but that's a few miles away.

Hmm, that reminds me, I should add a country club somewhere. I don't think I've reached the minimum population yet. Hmmm...
I and I was going to build a custom lot with a hockey rink. Need to go back to search if a hockey rink download already exists, or even a small community centre. Got to have something to do during the long Canadian winter.

I don't really post here a whole lot, mostly lurked for the past couple years or however long it's been, but here's a city I'm working on for a possible MD in the near future.  It's built on the Potomac region by NHP (I think... not sure but seems like a safe bet, amirite?)

Here's two pictures of what I have of the main city so far.  Unfortunately I've been in too much of a development frenzy to really take any good pictures to chronicle the development of this tile.  These are before and after the establishment of a CBD/downtown.  Not really clean enough to be MD shots, these were just me toying with getting a flat overhead view (somewhat).  On the first pic you might notice the section of avenue leading to the industrial area having a white jaggy sidewalk... had a plugin flub after reorganizing and messed up my sandstone mod.

Yes, indeed. You need Sawtooth region census. The resulting picture must be rotated and made square with Gimp, Photoshop or the like.
There is a tutorial somewhere, but when you understand the trick, it's very simple. And the trick is no more than my sentences above. Good luck!

Sorry for the double post, but i just finished a beta version of the Space Island 3 (O'Neill Cylinder). Before the images, here are some information from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_Three).

QuoteThe O'Neill cylinder, also called an Island Three habitat, is a space habitat design proposed by physicist Gerard K. O'Neill in his book The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space. In the book O'Neill proposes the colonization of space for the 21st century, using materials from the Moon. An O'Neill cylinder consists of two very large, counter-rotating cylinders, each 5 miles (8 km) in diameter and 20 miles (32 km) long, that are connected at each end by a rod via a bearing system. They rotate so as to provide artificial gravity via centrifugal force on their inner surfaces.

The cylinders rotate to provide artificial gravity  on their inner surface. Due to their very large radii, the habitats would rotate about forty times an hour, simulating a standard Earth gravity. Research on human factors in rotating reference frames indicate that almost no-one (at such low rotation speeds) would experience motion sickness due to coriolis forces  acting on the inner ear. People would be able to detect spinward and antispinward directions by turning their heads, and any dropped items would appear to be deflected by a few centimetres. The central axis of the habitat would be a zero gravity region, and it was envisaged that it would be possible to have recreational facilities located there.

The habitat was planned to have oxygen at partial pressures roughly like the Earth's air, 20% of the Earth's sea-level air pressure. Nitrogen would also be included to add a further 30% of the Earth's pressure. This half-pressure atmosphere would save gas and reduce the needed strength and thickness of the habitat walls. At this scale, the air within the cylinder and the shell of the cylinder provide adequate shielding against cosmic rays.

Large mirrors are hinged at the back of each stripe of window. The unhinged edge of the windows points toward the Sun. The purpose of the mirrors is to reflect sunlight  into the cylinders through the windows. Night is simulated by opening the mirrors, letting the window view empty space; this also permits heat to radiate to space. During the day, the reflected Sun appears to move as the mirrors move, creating a natural progression of Sun angles. Although not visible to the naked eye, the Sun's image might be observed to rotate due to the cylinder's rotation. The light reflected from the mirrors is polarized, which might confuse bees. To permit light to enter the habitat, large windows run the length of the cylinder. These were not to be single panes, but would be made up of many small sections, to prevent catastrophic damage, and so the aluminum or steel window frames can take most of the stresses of the air pressure of the habitat. Occasionally a meteorite might break one of these panes. This would cause some loss of the atmosphere, but calculations showed that this would not be an emergency, due to the very large volume of the habitat.

The habitat and its mirrors must be aimed at the sun. O'Neill and his students carefully worked out a method of continuously turning the colony 360 degrees per orbit without using rockets that discard reaction mass. First, the pair of habitats can be rolled by operating the cylinders as momentum wheels. If one habitat's rotation is slightly off, the two cylinders will rotate about each other. Once the plane formed by the two axes of rotation is perpendicular (in the roll axis) to the orbit, then the pair of cylinders can be yawed to aim at the sun by exerting a force between the two sunward bearings: away from each other will cause both cylinders to gyroscopically precess, and the system will yaw in one direction, towards each other will cause yaw in the other direction. The counter-rotating habitats have no net gyroscopic effect, and so this slight precession can continue for the habitat's orbit, keeping it aimed at the sun.

O.K., it's impossible to make a cylinder-like region, so i turn this 3D environment...

Lots so crazy, that will drives you crazy!! ;D ;D
Images are coming soon

So you have a great city, with plenty of skyscrapers and factories. Great job :thumbsup: . However you just make the mistake to take a tour. Why "mistake"? Because you'll soon notice parks, Parthenons, tiny airports, fire stations e.t.c.. "Wait a minute, i didn't build them!" You have right, you don't build them. Your Sims build them!!!

"Crazy Lots" is a collection of lots that will allow Sims to build their privet temples, spaceports, power plants, police stations, parks e.t.c.. They will be grownable commercial and industrial lots (and maybe residential too) that will spiced up your city. Of course there are not 100% functional! If, for example, you notice a tiny grownable airport, it will not work as an airport, so don't worry. Some of these lots are realistic, like the privet football field. Others will be totally crazy, like a Capitol Records build by a simple Sim ;D

CRAZY LOTS, lots so crazy... that will drives you crazy

Some really great ideas and creations here. For myself I am taking a great idea and pushing it forward. Some great modelers in the past were able to take our Automata to new heights and give us a larger variety in automation thus inspiring others to step further. Cop car creator Nerdly_dood has blessed us with many choices to help weed out the Maxis version "Ugh!" His "slick top" release (and some others) helped me to look into providing myself even more law enfoecement options to help clean up the streets of SC4.
Below are all original creations from Nerdly_dood that found their way into my chop shop. I reskinned his early car releases into my own, making a Boston police car and Mass state trooper which you can see here as dispatches 6 and 25 up front. After the "slick top" release I again reskinned one into a state trooper (dispatch 26) as this release offered the ability to play the game with two police cars at once. This was a major breakthrough for me as I had been waiting for this since the first cop car mod so long ago. Tinkering with the DAT files in reader I was able to manipulate the "slicktop" TGI's so I could have all colors from that release in the game at once. But I relented to one color, in this case maroon, and then set forth to see if I could mod the files so I could have any cop car in the game at once. As you can see below I have 4 police cruisers that are fully automated and UDI enabled.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi624.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ftt325%2Fjaatt%2FInnerHarborBoston-Mar7-Copy.jpg&hash=bac4b9e0b250ea3eb59f57f6e3f0fd929560dc86)

In addition, the same tinkering resulted in putting the FBI suburban from SIMFANATIK in the same city for riot control giving me 5. And Gwail's and Swampers fire trucks as well. All vehicles are UDI playable and chosen randomly by the game.

Again... these are only reskins of Nerdly's cars, I just meddled with the TGI's. The suburban I left alone as it suited my needs as is.

Custom region I'm in the process of finalising. It's heavily based upon part of Marathon County (and is centred on the county seat, Wausau) in Wisconsin, although I wouldn't call it an accurate terrain at all as I've changed the lakes a little as well as the alignment of the creeks and such.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us (http://imageshack.us)

(if you've checked the filename, Ashfield is the name of the fictional region I'm going to build on the thing). You can probably tell that this is post tree-ification. I use the contours view to apply trees above a certain terrain height. Anywhere else I tree as needed.

Thinking of a release on the STEX if anyone's interested, it's pretty much ready to package up now.

this is my current project, the Auburn Dam.

the dam sits in the mountains south of the city of Easton and once completed will become the primary source of water and electricity for the growing metropolis.

there is a LOT of work to be done, for an easier understanding i've higlited the future reservoir's edge, the Dam itself and the Foresthill bridge that will cross the lake

maybe someone from california will notice that the Auburn Foresthill bridge really exist, i've take both the names from a never-built dam and the bridge that was built to cross the reservoir.
obviously my dam and my bridge both differs from the original.

It would be nice if you could find that mod for me, at least if it is compatible with CAM (I fear it isn't, then I can't use it anyway (so don't bother then)).
Thanks in advance.
I'm pretty sure that the farmmod is NOT CAM compatible, so I won't bother with searching it. Also I have enormous problems with the STEX (where I last saw it) and searching at the moment is a pain in the ....welll, somewhere. ;)

Sorry for your farms. BTW, I made all my CAM farms regular, don't need nor want CAM.

QuoteSadly the farms won't develop on the south side for some reason.

R$ Sims like to work in dirty industry, CS$, and Farms. A well educated city of R$$$ Sims is not conducive to farm growth. The city in the above picture does not look like a R$ type of town.

Also keep in mind that all demand is regional. This means that all those R$$$ Sims in this city will have an impact on all other cities in your region and negative impact on any future rural cities you may want to create. I always get my rural country side the way I want it before trying to create a mega city.

There is a trick though. When you start your next city ... and if you want it to be rural ... do not make any neighbor connections. The demand from your mega city will not affect the new rural city until you make a connection. Basically - the new rural city will think it's a new city in a new region until you make connections. Farms should develop.

Good Luck.

By the way - where did you get that giant dome?

QuoteI'm pretty sure farms won't grow if the tile's population is over 50,000.

That's the first time I've seen a comment like that. I've not tested that scenario but I suspect that I can create a town of 50,000 and that farms will grow. One would have to be careful not to create too much ID or CS$ - I think.  &Thk/(

To be honest, I have no idea where I got this mod from. I have it for a longtime.
I just went through my pluginsfolder, but with more than 14 Gb's of files, I can't seem to find it. However, there is this file called * EvenstageFarms*, I don't know what it does, maybe that's it, try searching for it.

The Census Repository would increase the CAP for farms, so you could have a larger population and still have demand for farms.  If that isn't working then my guess is that you have too many high EQ sims and therefor no demand for farms.  I suppose this could be changed in the type of jobs that High EQ R$ demand, but not sure of the exact location of that Exemplar, and it would have quite the effect on a city that uses that demand for other things.

I use many prop families. Some of them I have made myself. This is to obtain as much variety as possible without needing to make endless series of lots. The farms around the roadcrossing are all four the same lot. The variety is due to the prop families.

There is actually one windmill with rotating blades: the Stellingmolen by Meurdoos. It's on some of my other lots, although I use the non-animated version.
The mill you quote is made by Oppie, long long ago before we found out animated windmills are possible.

If you look closely there are more things that don't really correspond with reality. The rooftop should not a be half dome, but a dome-like shape made of flat surfaces covered by reed (?). The mill itself should also be covered with reed, not with shingles. But I was happy to find a windmill at all, so you don't hear me complain.

I thought the dome was just because of graphic restrictions, because from here, it does not look like a perfectly round dome, there is somewhat an illusion of straight lines.

You know, Flora might be a good way to simulate aging.  The properties that define the timing are not restricted to one year (like props that need to start on a specific day).  I think the most reasonable thing to try first is building families that just have different colors... hmm.  So many things got "turned off" for the Maxis Release, maybe one day everything will be flora  :D

Lowkee, you were talking about the aging of the mill? That is gets older and older after plopping? That would be.... well... flabbergasting (is this an old fashioned word or not?).

:) Agreed.

@FrankU:  If you know of a building you want to see change I could try it out.  I am currently trying real hard not to start my progress on playing this game all over. ::)

25 building .descs, 16 lots, 1 base texture with 10 random FSH, 6 fence props, 1 offset driveway prop and a slight mod to a T21 later...  The R$1_1x3s with that packed in feel just need some plants.

Thanks Travis.  Unfortunately, the amount of modding I did (pretty much from the model on up), means I can't release these as a whole.  I could possibly release the random textures (although, they too are in a MEGA pack).  I should also probably make more than one driveway for a release.  Progress will be made in some direction :)

Hi Carl, Dont let me distract you from your projects.

I have some comment on your images:
- I see some very nice textures. On some of them the edges are a bit too blurred in my opinion. Seen form the heigth we see the villages the edges of these small gardenplots should be a bit more sharp, in my opinion.
- And secondly: wouldn't it be nicer to have the crops and flowers as props on the empty land? We could make them seasonal etc...etc..
- The fences: most of them are yours? They are very nice.
- I like the driveways! It would be good to have a (MEGA?) pack of driveways like these for all kinds of roads and streets.
Title: Re: Show us your . . . . current projects
Post by: Lowkee33 on March 30, 2011, 08:23:01 AM
Thanks for more comments :).

@Girafe:  Get to work!  $%Grinno$%. The lots have some flora now,  I'm getting there.  The battle between Flora and Props is well on it's way on my computer.  Flora can clean the air, props can have better timing, Seasonal flora has to be planted one at a time, props look too repetitive...  I have all of Cycledogg's flowers/bushes/trees as seasonal flora, but I did it in an unsharable way.  I make progress on that, but there is a lot of stuff in CP_01. 

@FrankU:  Which is where the fences are from.  I will be thinking about the textures.  I feel that as I add small bushes this will become less apparent.  I basically made 4 lots and gave them unique textures.  I then cloned each lot four times and then gave each one a varied fence.  After posting this picture I realized that I could also variate the textures, so I did a little of that.

Right now my problem with props is making them random.  I have been avoiding seasonal props because I want a tree to appear only sometime on a lot.  If this is done with timed props, then you may get a spring tree, but not a summer one... 

I will try to make as much sharable things as possible :), but I predict them as being building blocks rather than new lots/buildings.  Driveways, textures, those I can do.

Edit:  For the Textures, I have BSC #2 for the various gardens, but they don't match each other on the tile's edge.  I use some overlays from the MTP to make the edges grassy (and hence the blurring).  Do you know of any overlays that are like the overlays in MTP, but wont interfere too much with the BSC base textures?

Don't know if I agree with that, but if you do use 6s, I think its okay if you leave the retaining walls there, rather then demolishing them for the shoulder.

yes it would ... but when I was in Tokyo.... some of the expressways where elevated with 2 lanes per direction (and clogged too). This is actually my first new region since I've been to Tokyo, and some of my design elements for this region are with Tokyo in mind.

What I use for that are Marrast avenue dividers. They're 1x2 and 1x3 lots that you can stick between OWRs for just such a purpose. Here's the link. (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1179)

in the UK you also get a lot of shortsightedness with highway planing, setups like this (one of the Runcorn (near liverpool) "expressways") are commenplace (do a 180 degree turn);

it's the same in London where the infamous and extensive ringways plan was to be almost exclusively 2 lanes in each direction (most inner-city sections which were built are):

An update on the suburbs.  Dropped the amount of Stage 1 lots to 10: 6 Front lots and 2 lots per each corner.  Stage 2 only has 8 lots because it is getting pretty cramped: 4 fronts and 2 per corner.  Stage 3 was very cramped, and only 1 per corner are made.  The up side of stage 3 being on the corners only is that when the growth is complete, all corners are properly filled.  Now just looking for houses of similar size.  The next building model will be larger and replace one of the buildings on the stage 2 front lots, be a stage 3, and also the driveway prop to be upgraded.  It will have a stage 4 corner piece(s), so that as the stages increase, the streets can be upgraded to a less rural texture.
   
Thanks for the feedback.

Edit: though now that I think about it, the Stage 2s can be a little more varied by moving the hoses a little.

In the newest NAM (or maybe it is an addon  %wrd - I can't remember it exactly) there are some rail bridges included, that are raised exactly 15,5 meters, so they will fit the elevated rail puzzle pieces.

I still don't have a clear plan of where I want to put the river and streams. I'm thinking of forgetting about the river altogether since I can't find a set that I like.
I love the Diggis Streams and love winding them around in loops.  :) (I am loopy for loops!  :P)

As you can see in my next project, I've done more loopy streams, and will continue that on the left side of the residential area.

In this project, I'm trying to create (not re-create) a U.S. town settled by Dutch Settlers. I downloaded some Dutch buildings, but they're not growing. The residential areas look fine with the houses that are growing, so I probably won't be replacing those. The Commercial, on the other hand... I most likely will be plopping the Dutch buildings in those areas since what is growing doesn't look so good with the look I'm trying to get.

Well, that's it for now. If you want to see more, just visit CSGf and go to the Glimpses Section and click on any of Towncrafter's threads.

Hi Greckman,

Your looping rivers are very nice.
The Dutch buildings you downloaded are maybe a too high growth stage. So they will grow when your region has developed more. A good set for low growth stages is not available. But you might get lucky if you have some patience: there is a new BeNeLux Bat team that is working on Dutch, Belgian and some Luxembourgian Bats and Lots. I myself have made some new lots with the mill you have plopped. Pity for you that I didn't upload it yet! But I will, when I am happy with the set.

So please have some :sleeping:

Those are the single-sided parallel ramps, ones that connect to orthoganal OWR's. It's at the very end of all the puzzle pieces. So just press Shift+Tab once to cycle thru to it.

here it is, not a single project but more likely a collection of more.

1st: the easiest and quickest, getting the superb and way more realistic Italia Terrain Mod to replace the ingame standard by Maxis.

2nd: beacuse the Easton map is almost completely flat i decided to terrafor a bunch of mountains in the upper part of the map, in order to have a different terrain to work with other than flatfields and shores.
not a perfect work (you can see the edge of some cities on the right), but i'm somewhat satisfied of the results, i think i will add some trees to hide the imperfections.

3rd: the real fun! building a huge dam (210 m. tall) inside one of the valleys, put winding roads between hills, tunneling rails under the highest peaks, and blasting my way through mountains and majestic bridges to take the highway to the edge of the map.

I haven't unpaused the sim-ulator yet, so I dunno either. However, I provided them with mass-transit in the form of GLR and bus routes. Of course, I'll also expand and connect to other tiles, so the sims aren't stuck in a petri dish forever. :P

Suburbian precinct based on the fused grid model. I plan to encircle with GLR-in-AVE.

I do my res like that all the time... except I do it 1x1 lots centered in either a 25x25 or 51x51 square and with a lot more dead ends. Often I'll only have two roads and have 2x1 com lined up on it... while having one of the roads intersect with a highway that leads to downtown. I never had a problem, although I do use demand boosters.

Its because the game wants you to keep zoning and zoning more density.  I hate that if I try and make a large city tile I get the advisor popping up every 10 minutes telling me about trouble ahead because I have only zones low density(1x1,2x1,2x2,3x3 lots) and keeps telling me to zone medium and high density tiles

I do, but he still keeps popping up all the time.  He reminds me alot of one of my kids who still thinks if he nags me enough over time, I will acquiesce and do what he wants me to do  lol

I love building a low density large city tile, and I may actually do a 1x1 low density city on a large city tile to see how it turns out.  I just need to decide whether I want to do it with 1 main Avenue top to bottom(or Left to Right) or have multiple city length avenues for the roads to connect to

By the way, I'm using Chinese and Korean buildings as well, so you might notice Chinese and Korean characters. The problem is that there aren't a lot of Japanese bats. I hope you guys can forgive me for that.

Thank you for these kind words ;) I had also to take many trys till I made it to this point... most of my airports were "San Francisco - style" but they didn't look good in any way...

There are not only your planes but also many from the AC team and Bripizza. You'll also notice the Airport roads: I made a new textureset that can be used with 747-style gates and aprons and a new gateway lot to fit A380's passengerway position... ;)

I think joelyboy enjoys again to SCAG's planes over there ;) (I love this 717!)

Interesting indeed... I'm wondering, they get to that terminal by a tunnel under the taxiways, right ? About the tower, I agree with you. I've seen - I don't remember where - A real airport with more than one tower so that they can handle the enormous amount of planes coming by the airport.

Also, great idea to combine the old terminal with Tokyo haneda's one, very creative and the result is well done and good looking.

Then I filled it up with a real "first year's players" grid, with only one deviation: the two "central" axes that cross in the second tile from south and the second from west.

Still quite boring, right?

Then I added the rivers: all plopped Jeronij Canals. Here and there I added some bridges.
It becomes more interesting now, or not?

One of the main goals is also to break the grid, play with it and use it for my own purposes. I hope there will be some interesting developments.

I'm starting to adopt your method, Frank 8U. All's I hafta do is learn how to quit hesitating from demolishing & altering road networks. I gotta train myself not to think everything is set in stone and can't be changed once established. Otherwise I'll forever be stumped on where to start.

A little something I'm working on . . . . custom pavement markings via the BAT!

Thoughts / opinons?

Looks great! I've missed these things in the game... So, keep on working! :thumbsup:

I don't know what it is like in the US, but I've never seen a highwaysign indicating north, west, east or south, because nobody has a compass in his brain so it's better to indicate major cities and towns, I think.
@riiga: great you inspire me &apls
It is different in the US. They do indeed use cardinal directions a lot. ;)

Around here directions are indicated when you enter a highway from an interchanging road.  For a east-west highway, signs will tell you which ramp heads to the eastbound lanes and which heads to the westbound lanes. There are also a few recurrence markers on the highway itself indicating the direction you are traveling. I think it's similar in the US.

Yes, that might be applicable in a SC-based orthogonally designed country like the US or (apparently) Canada, but in Europe, which is basically historically designed by people without compasses or bulldozers (so they had to go around hills instead of through), all highways and roads go all possible directions. So nobody knows if a road is east-west, north-south or anything in between.

One of the main goals is also to break the grid, play with it and use it for my own purposes. I hope there will be some interesting developments.

I'm starting to adopt your method, Frank 8U. All's I hafta do is learn how to quit hesitating from demolishing & altering road networks. I gotta train myself not to think everything is set in stone and can't be changed once established. Otherwise I'll forever be stumped on where to start.

Hi Risu,

Frank 8U? Who's that? It's me! FrankU.
Anyway: after I had added some more in this region the Prop Pox hit it and that disappointed me so much that I stopped building on it. The idea still appeals to me though. I just don't know what to do. Prop Pox has hit all my regions after some serious development. It just is no fun, you know? Working hard on details, nice parks, great skyscrapers and dirty seapots and then suddenly.... empty asphalt, boring meadows, lonely dirt.....
So now I am into lotting. And I decided to develop only medium city tiles, because Prop Pox is less probable.

It's a nice and efficient design--and with symmetry  &apls I wonder how much those thick areas of railroad will separate neighborhoods and cause people to not want to live near them. Rails and highways are my favorite part of SimCity but real-life people don't seam to enjoy them near anything they do besides using them. Anyway, how has it worked for you with the game? And great to hear from you again  ;D

Believe it or not, people tend to tune out the noise generated by rails and highways when they live near them.  I used to have an apartment that was literally right off the busiest rail line in my town(a train would come by every 10-15 minutes for 20 hours a day, and all that separated me from the rail line was a 5 ft chain link fence, hop the fence I was on railroad property).  The first week I lived there, I heard every single train that came through, and considered moving once the lease was up, but after a week, it got to the point I no longer heard the trains, unless I was outside.  Even when my kids were babies, at first they would wake up every time a train came through, but eventually they to slept through them as well.


Interesting design Terring, be interesting to see a shot of the city in 25 game years.

Le Corbusier's ideas of city-planning were the worst ever and don't function at all. :thumbsdown: The car-friendly city is outdated and belongs to history. you should build more bike- and pedestrian-friendly towns and cities, with mixed-use neighbourhoods.
The venus project by the way is just a way of avoiding the consequences of global warming: "oops, we killed our planet..... let's get another one"

I like some of Le Corbusier's ideas but a car-based city is a totally nightmare. This project is about building a railroad-based city, this is why I didn't include bicycle paths. As about the Venus project, is not about abandoning Earth but redesigning our global culture and changing our values :)

Some generic Airlines. Two are based on real-world companies, past and present and the other two are completely fictional. Most of the models have been generously licensed  by members of the Flight Simulator community with only a couple of exceptions still awaiting permission.

Titan Airways is actually one of the UK's premiere charter airlines and have one of the coolest paint schemes. With that in mind I set out to expand upon their current fleet which includes the 737-300, 757 and 767. The Sim fleet is now comprised of the 737-800, 757-200, 767-300er, 747-8i, 787-9 and A330-300

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi154.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fs265%2FElPhantasmo69%2FTitanFleet.jpg&hash=0e2415618c4d4018751db33915e181dda22cb62f)

Caledonian is based on British Caledonian, another UK based company that operated in the 70's and 80's before being acquired by British Airways. Back then, the most prestigious aircraft they flew included the A310-200 and 747-200. Although we can find the A310 in the appropriate SCAG download, after the SIM Caledonian moved it's operation to your nation, the company thrived and now flies ultra cool planes such as the 747-8i, A319, A320, 757-200 and the Concorde. Oh yeah, they also fly the Airbus A350-900.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi154.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fs265%2FElPhantasmo69%2FCaledonianFleet.jpg&hash=d794dd577b676e257b3ad18da64778c0906965f6)

Gryphonair is one of those generic airlines. They don't have a huge variety of airframes but they can still serve as a good national carrier with a fleet of A319, 737-800, 787-8 and 787-9's.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi154.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fs265%2FElPhantasmo69%2FGryphonair.jpg&hash=c40bd2a4e7e0382bf501eb3b3b8a285693df962c)

Finally, Phoenix is the other generic carrier, one that can fill the role of low-cost or no-frills a la Southwest. They own the B717, 737-800 and 787-8

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi154.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fs265%2FElPhantasmo69%2FPhoenixFleet.jpg&hash=77f4d60215d1472a21f5884c1a103f0d5c72b906)

There is still a potential to add the 777-200 and 300er to a couple of these fleets but after spending months on this already, I'm getting a little antsy and just want to play with them. So far, I'm still waiting for permission to release the 747 and 777 (if I decide to do it). The Concorde will likely be a casualty as in real-life.

There is a fairly extensive list of dependencies but everyone that will be interested is going to have most of them anyways. One of the best-kept secrets (sort of) is the dependencies residing at http://bripizza.net/sc4/index.html - the ground handling sets which add a little bit extra realism to the airport activity.

Finally, there will be NO NIGHTLITES. I have a general idea of how to do them, but I just have no desire since I never play in day/night mode.

Also, I'm selfish. Meh.

This is the "residential" part of the base, housing approximately 12 000 people, which includes military personnel, administrative and other support staff and their families.

The base has to be relatively self-reliant / self-sufficient as it is wholly within a national park indicated in red below:

I really love the Jacksonville map, but I'd rather not attempt a recreation as I've never been there and really don't want the added pressure. This time round it's just about playing.

I guess it will turn out like Jacksonville in the end, not because I aim for that, but because my region, just like the Jacksonville Metro, developed in response to the geographical features of the area.  ()stsfd() I'm guided by the terrain and by what I think would be the most logical development in a particular location.  ;D

This is going to be North Bend which is a Twin Rivers municipality.  Part of a metro region I plan growing to a decent size and density.  Once I figure out how to get a pic of the whole region you will see how important this city is.  It basically is the last piece of land that is not built up between the port city in the region and the "Twin Cities" upriver.  Once this is done I will start building small towns and cities on the edge of the central metro region.  A lot of work but all of the tutorials I have watched have come together in this region.

Test construction on slopes

ねこぱんち is so awesome  &ops He has programmed building for hillside development. I've experimented with it a little bit and hope you enjoy the pictures. Here is the link to the downloads:

6.Next, I built up the slope so that the road leads only to the buildings. The hillside road I built separately on the side and attached later.

Using Paeng's Map Template (http://paeng.e-workers.de/gallery/city_journals/lots/no_mtp/details/dev_map.php), I'm going to build a huge cyberpunk city with as many futuristic mods as possible. This means that the whole city will have underground neighbourhoods, floating towns, antigravity buildings, arcologies, a large dome, tall skyscrapers, spaceports, quantum super computers, domed parks. modular apartment buildings and more. As you can see, the project is in the very beginning, so don't expect updates soon.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1101.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fg436%2Fterring%2Ffutureregion_zps3f6ae967.jpg&hash=4b90705b1ff3995d2fb9911155980ff7984ca679)

Here are a few informations about the names of the cities and my original plans about them:

Piraeus is a port city in Greece, located within the Athens urban area 12 km south-west from its city centre. This is where I live. Piraeus will have a few industries and residential zones as well. It will also have a seaport and some marinas.

Alexandria is the second largest city in Egypt and the largest city lying directly on the Mediterranean coast. Hellenistic Alexandria was best known for the Lighthouse of Alexandria and its Great Library. Since Alexandria has a few building space, development will take place on water. There is already a floating airport and other structures are coming up.

Kavala is the second largest city in northern Greece and my favourite city as well. Kavala will be mostly a residential zone, with plenty of parks and a few commercial buildings as well. Expanding on water is on my plans.

Trantor is a fictional planet in Isaac Asimov's Foundation Series and Empire series of science fiction novels. Is depicted as the capital of the first Galactic Empire and its land surface was entirely enclosed in artificial domes. Sounds like Coruscant from Star Wars, right? Trantor will be mostly commercial zone and will have the tallest buildings ever made for Simcity 4. An antigravity airport is already constructed.

Diaspar is the main location of Sir Arthur Clark's novel The City and the Stars, which takes place a billion years in the future. The city of Diaspar is completely enclosed and nobody has come in or left the city for as long as anybody can remember. The entire city is run by the Central Computer. Not only is the city repaired by machines, but the people themselves are created by the machines as well. Diaspar will be a general city, with homes, shops, offices and factories. There is already a dome here. Not sure if this dome will be just an eye candy however.

Valley of the Roses is a beautiful city that will constructed into the distant future. According to Paul Amadeus Dienach, his consciousness travels forward in time, at the year 3906 AD. He learns about the facts that stunned humanity from the 20th to the 40th century AD and put his experience down on paper. Valley of the Roses will be mostly a cultural city, with beautiful gardens and landmarks. On water expansions are also possible.

Mars Hill is a location west of downtown Flagstaff, Arizona, U.S.A.. We'll find there the main facility of Lowell Observatory, founded by astronomer Percival Lowell in order to observe Mars. Mars hill will be heavily industrialised, with plenty of laboratories here and there. Seaports are on plans as well.

Fluttertown is the only city named not by a location, but by an adorable cartoon character. Who is she? If you're brony, here is a clue for you. Element of kindness. Fluttertown will be mostly residential, with low and maybe medium density buildings as well, with plenty of parks and green zones.

I have two railway stations in the city center, this is clearly the older terminal station, it is mainly intended for tourists and users of public transport. Next to a tram stops, there are two bus stops: Green for regional bus services and  orange for the city bus service.
Also a bike rental / bike repair shop / bike shop has removed with a special permit from the station forecourt space a little and opened a small business.

Before the station opens up a large space is part of a historic group of buildings on the old terminus of the heard.

Love that! It's good to see the underside models behave reasonably well on sloped sections. I believe this was a major showstopper for similar projects in the past. The deck parts may need some further tweaking, though, I think.

Yeah, I'm glad it turned out well, you can thank Maarten for a lot of that too! By the way, please elaborate on what you mean by tweaking. Just a heads up, some texture issues are the result of interim ploppable filler pieces.

Hi,
Is this one large tile filled with small streets, waiting for residentials to pop up? How long did it take you to fill it with all the streets? Could you give us some close ups?

About 10 hours ... I fill out the roads so I can zone 1x1 ... here is the end result for that tile:

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fglidingeagle.com%2Fimages%2Fsc4%2Fres2.jpg&hash=9741e948949a57873eef6afc6be0e3e7d8a3de29)

The reason why I go this route is a 1x1 house holds as many residents as a 2x2 lot. So 4 1x1 hold almost four times the residents depending on the house. That tile peaked at 250K sims, I'm working on another tile that'll likely end up around 330K sims. The two blank spots in the bottom left is for medium density, and along the top that is the city boundary. For jobs, I use a modify BSC 2x2 grass park. I removed all the props so its only grass, gave it an insane landmark effect and also 1500 jobs. I also modified the demand graph so R$$ is always at 50K demand, and I set the tax rate to 0%. For the other two wealth, I set taxes at 20% and thats good enough to kill that demand. And of course, I use other mods (such as zero garbage, clean air / traffic and another one that limits power and water needs). What I'm attempting to do is build one realistic city, and the population should be over 3.5  million by the time I'm done with this monster, but I'm nowhere near being done.

Ahh, yes...That is also a way to play the game.
And I am really curious what the streets and neighbourhoods look like. You have pictures for me? Close ups I mean?
The zoning of 1x1 do you do that by alternating mid and high density along streets?

Since I took this shot, both of the farm fields in the upper-left part of the picture have been redeveloped as part of a new residential subdivision and downtown has undergone a number of restreetscaping projects.

Hmm, the last few posts on this were looking pretty well-developed, so I was reluctant to post, but here goes.

Project Motivation: A region to eventually serve as a setting for written fiction... should I get to that.
Essential Concepts:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fwb4K6rT.jpg&hash=7c43d6b1ff42f4792f014f07d86f17370ef0a9de)
Details:

So, it's coming along.  The east and west corners are undetermined in terms of terrain, and I still need to decide how that land is divided between the two factions.  Dates are very important - I tag buildings with when they're constructed, and I generally prevent things (like modern shopping malls and tech) from appearing before their time.  I also accommodate urban design ideas, so expansive suburbs don't really show up until around 1950.  I'm not sure how large the population will get, though I feel it will be under a million.

To-do: determine how east and west divided; try to expand into mountains; perhaps start a page for this project...

You might want to consider using a slope mod, in addition to a terrain & water mod. Those things help to increase the level of realism. That said, you already have lots of custom content which makes for a pretty decent city!  :thumbsup:

This may not strictly be a current project, since I finished it today, but check out my city of Kings Cross, Yakutat Bay. I broke ground on it today and got it into its current, just about finished state in only about two and a half to three hours. There's still a fair bit of work to do, namely expanding the town into the two forested areas immediately west of the urban fringe or using the area for parkland and widening the coastal highway into a fully grade separated 4-6 lane freeway, both however are tasks that I don't plan to take on until the region is far more extensively developed than it is currently.

I wasn´t active here since a long time, and yes, it is a shame, if I look to the different threads and artworks here. But I have to admit, I left the game. My interest in townplanning is simple framework, and eventually I found some program, that matches my way to play. It is EA too, it is the CreateAWorld-Tool, a program like the SC4Terraformer with a lot more abilities in a sandbox-like way.

I hope, I do not break any rules if I show you two pictures of my current project, nothing finished, only work in progress, stills from a small town. Till now the most houses only are facades, and the level of detail here is at a starting point. But after years I found, what I was looking for...

Some houses near the market place:

Cool projects guys! CreateAWorld looks quite interesting, though I've never had any interest in the Sims. I like how detailed a townscape you were able to create in it.

I've been messing around with terrain mod settings and textures recently.
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.majhost.com%2Fgallery%2Fnoahclem%2Fitstime%2Fcliffsetcmodding.jpg&hash=d667eec1e982759451a34d3a735510b70ae1efd7)

The thing that's been the hardest for me to figure out is shorelines. Beaches can stand out way too much and appear to often but minimizing them leads to very jagged diagonal shorelines, particularly with low transparency settings. The deep sea floor texture can play a significant effect and steeper shorelines will be influenced by the cliff texture as well. In my picture the sea floor texture, which is what is showing up mostly on the shorelines due to some tweaked settings and terraforming, has been changed to a dirt texture from Gobias' Berner Oberland TM that normally appears at higher elevations. The beach is Gobias' Cape Cod with the textures made more brown. I've also given the rock mod (the stock one from the BOTM) a browner tone to help it stand out less in general and to blend with coastal textures in particular. The water is Gobias' Mississippi, modified only to not include seafloor textures. I've been digging around in the core of the terrain mod and am finally getting a fairly good idea of how it works. I plan to do more messing around with that and explore a couple ideas  :D

Noah, thanks for your nice comment, and that is a really nice picture. The rocks look unbelievable realistic. And the water is perfect for a region with a moderate clima. And yes, I see the "glitch". Sadly I have no solution, no idea, And to be honest: I really would like to know more about texturing, but I am a stupid idiot with every program, where you can edit pictures and graphics.  %wrd

Today I will show you a last shot of my work, a finished version of my last picture. If someone is interested, you can always visit my thread in the SimForum (http://www.simforum.de/showthread.php?p=4577180). There I will show the forthcoming of this small region. Funny is, that i use a map, that is like a SimCity4 small tile in a region. The same sizes in both games. And I always can import any greyscale.  :thumbsup:

But here the picture. I would really like to open a region portrait but it is the wrong game...  ;)

And I am working with an editor only atm. Sculpting the landscape, laying out streets, building the houses and placing environmental objects - everything I do with this program. The next step is cleaning the so called world-file from unneeded informations (like all EA products, sims 3 likes to corrupt it´s own files). Then I have to put in all you need to play with this town, and after this it will be a playable town for the Sims 3 game.
The houses are built ingame. The windows, doors, everything aside textures are models like houses or props in SC4. The Sims community calls models "meshes", that is the only difference here. And so there is no chance to convert houses into SC4 model files sadly.
But on the other side, every house here has an inside, is furnitured and can be used as a home if you like to play this "world", how Sims 3 players call their "regions".
For me, who loves to plan a town AND buildings, I have to admit: Sims 3 and it´s modding tools currently are the best solution, the golden apple so to say.  ;)

I'm normally setting out grand city squares and parks/gardens but I've started to develop a new part of the capital of Perseus and it's going to be the location of one of the main train maintenance, washing and research depots for Perseus Rail. It's a different sort of project for me, so I'm still learning.

Man,i`m so jealous of everyones decorating,planning and citybuilding skills.
Currently i`m working on a project where i want to build/recreate my very orn version of a well known city.This city was the environment of many many movies (old and new),it is best known for it`s skyscrapers and the fact that this city never sleeps.You will also need a knife,a fork,a bottle and a cork to spell this city.
I guess most of you already guessed it.I want to build my very own New York,especially Manhattan and also a few of the outer boroughs.
Currently i`m in a very early state which includes the exhausting task of dragging the street grid.The Avenues are pretty easy to drag because they go from top to bottom (well,almost.)The streets from left to right are the annoying part.But it has to be done.
Unfortunenately it`s very easy to distract me and i start to go through my Landmarks Menu and plop the Landmarks.I always have my smartphone on my desk with an opened Googel Maps App,nerdy right?
Luckily the street grid is very reliable and i can easily count how many blocks i need to count from one location to the spot where the Landmark needs to be placed.
So,the first early pre production prototype shoty of my street grid:

Regionview with Buildings,if you look close,you can already see some landmarks

The next step after dragging the streets is placing some bus and subway stations around the city because in some areas you won`t see the streets because of the highrisers.
There are two things of which i`m a bit scared.One thing is the Central Park with it`s sheer size and another thing is the Broadway,especially the part where it goes from straight to angled.
Did someone ever made a tru size Manhattan RP so i can get a bit of inspiration?

First of all, I wanna say its a big project! I always like people going for things like this. Now, I saw the map, and it is no rocket science that you are not using the best map available currently. There is a map made by Izidor44 that is actually better scaled. Of course it has its limitations when it comes to simcity, but it is better than the one I just saw.

Second, there is a thread in simtropolis you might find inspirational and maybe useful for your recreation, it is in the NYBT section.

Third, what terrain mod are you using? I like how it looks, but maybe we could give it a better "color" to fit best for the area...

All in all, its not bad, and I like it, but of course it is always good to see other people's work to find inspiration and maybe sort things out.
Title: Re: Show us your . . . . current projects
Post by: deora on July 23, 2014, 02:32:15 AM
cmdp:Thanks man,it`s always good to get useful and helpful critics and advises.
About the map:I chose this map because it was one of the few maps which are aligned with the Simcity Street Grid and also includes complete Manhattan.The Map from Izidor for example is missing the upper Region of Manhattan,so most of Harlem is missing.
That thread on Simtropolis is indeed helpful,the funny thing is that they are almost at the same stage as me,completing the road grid and thinking about how the Broadway and how the Financial District can be made.Yesterday i found out that the draggable fractional angled curves also can fit perfectly in a narrow street grid.So if there is any wider network with draggable Fractional Angled Curve-Abbility i would be happy to use it.
About the scale:It seems that the scale isn`t that bad after all.It suits the 4 tile wide horizontal street grid perfectly and the roads always end where they would be expected.
As for the Terrainmod,i actually forgot which one i`m using.It was a HD Terrainmod from Simtropolis and i choosed it because the grass is green without looking too bright and the beach areas have a greyish white sand.One thing i want to change is the rock texture.Currently it really looks like some kind of granite but it might be better to have a texture with less dark spots and specks in it.Something that maybe looks like concrete.Any help would be appreciated.

Ah sorry,your`re right.I didn`t took a closer look to the SC4 Mapper Top Down View.Man,this is a behemoth of a map.I really have to think about it if i will start over again.On the pro site,it seems that the pier thingies are already there,so no guessing where to place harbour pieces in manhattan (i also wanted to bring back a little more industrial harbour to my manhattan)
On the contra site...well everything else.I`m not that type of SC 4 player that can fill a large city tile within a few hours.I am often micromanaging every single block of streets and until several 4 x 15 grid blocks are filled with the buildings i want to can take hours.Now imagine that with a whole city .
But i will sure keep this map in mind.I have to admit that there are large portions on my current map of which i`m not very satisfied about.I made a few mistakes with the avenues that go from top to bottom and now i have one or two avenues too much and had to place other avenues aside to make room and to give it a proper look.You will notice that if you look closely at the connection between the second and third city tile with manhattan on it .

Very nice looking city area  &apls  The selection of BATs is top notch both for their quality and their appearance together and the five-way intersection and street mod work excellently. I'm paying special attention to that mod as I'm starting a new region where I'm using it for the first time--it makes the railway adjacent to the road look much nicer as there's more of a divide between the two and it somehow makes the space between the triangle Japanese building and the road look better (I think it often looks too narrow since the building goes right up to the edge of the lot). As a small detail I'd suggest magneto's Sayonara! Maxis Trees mod (http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/29333-sayonara-maxis-trees/) so the couple Maxis trees popping up look as nice as the others. Could you let me know where you came across that rounded corner building? Best of luck with your MD, I'll be looking forward to it  :thumbsup:

@Kisa, well if Tokyo has Shibuya, New York has Times Square and even Nakahara has Suzuya Crossing. Well then I present to you Teiko's Shimazaki Crossing.  That is an important intersection in Teiko of three arterial avenues (Igarashi Avenue going north, Koike Avenue going to the right and Jonghyun Avenue going northeast). :P

Hello and welcome to the Larch Creek Resort.  Larch Creek offers 36 holes of championship golf and tennis as well as several hiking trails in the hills flanking the course.  First, here is an overview of the resort showing the hotel grounds.  The Valley 18 starts and ends at the bottom center near the parking lot.  I will be highlighting the first three holes of the Hillside 18 which is above the hotel...

This is the hotel, pool and tennis courts.  At the top left you can see the landscape compound and just below that there is the cart maintenance shed.  At top center is the driving range and putting green.  Finally, at top right is the starter shed for the Hillside 18, where our tee-time is imminent...

The 1st hole is a par 5 that borders the driving range.  Here is the tee (center left near the starter shed)...

And here is the 1st Green (top center next to the far end of the driving range) and the tee for the 2nd hole (top right) which is a par 4 bordering the creek...

The 2nd green (center above the creek) and just a bit of the 3rd tee (left side of image between 1st hole and the creek)...

Finally, here is the 3rd hole (center of image).  A par 3 that crosses the creek...

Don't put too much backspin on the ball or you will end up in the cattails, reeds and muck next to the creek!  The orientation of this image was rotated from that of the other images because I believe it gives a better view of the 3rd hole.  On the left side of the image is the 4th hole tee and restrooms (placed after every three holes).

@Dantes: I like the mix of the historical and industrial. But can i just ask where did you get the buildings along the avenue in the centre, the old industrial Japanese ones?, Thanks
@Catalyst: I like the road and pavement textures

Minor note but you might want to fix those missing base textures.  ;) Apart from that it's really well build, wouldn't mind a closer look.  :thumbsup:

Okay,i`m still working on my current Region and i`m currently concentrating on the Area around Central Park NYC.Billionaires Row on South Central Park is almost done and as the first time ever,i tried MMP Water.I choosed JRJ`s transparent Plop Water because i like the Idea of decorating under Water and many non transparent Plop Waters just look like splotches of Paint dropped over the Map.
I started small and tried to copy the general shape f Central Parks "The Pond".Well i guess i missed the Goal here but i tink it is still a prety nice Pond.... :-[

I've completed the logistics section of this particular city tile (still more to build in the neighbouring tile) so I've moved on to filling up the rest of the tile with urban development. The motorway acts as a barrier and beyond the motorway urban density is reduced and will be mainly residential with the odd commercial offering and perhaps a large shopping centre/mall.

I've also decided to remove the surface motorway in most parts and have it below surface for much of its length in this tile. There's also a couple of duplicated buildings I'm going to swap.

The large empty site to the left is where the University of Passau's sporting campus is to be located. I've revised my previous plan for that and I'm going to make it merge with a planned park and have much more soft landscaping than hard. I think I'm also going to incorporate an narrow MMP river and remove that lowered 'ditch' which was going to be an ornamental canal-type feature.

Once I fill most of the gaps I'll retake my regional overview image that I've showcased previously.

-Via Expressa GreenBelt (Green Belt Expressway): Delineates the end of the urban side of the city, and the beginning of the Greenbelt. It's an RHW-4 With 2 RWH-4/OWR-2 to domestic traffic and intersections with the other expressways

-Via Expressa Norte-Sul/(North-South Expressway): In the Major Part, goes side-by-side with Journey River, and it will demand an retification of the river in the CBD. It's an RHW-10 in the two sides of Journey river.

-Via Expressa Leste-Oeste (East-West Expressway): Goes from the East side to West side of GreenBelt Expy. In the way, it founds the city centre, and intercept with Via Expressa Norte-Sul. Has an Beautiful bridge linking both sides of the expressway. It's a RHW-4 With OWR-2 in both sides to domestic traffic. Sometimes, it converts to RHW-8.

-Via Expressa Porto-Aeroporto (Port-Airport Expressway): It's a Project, Linking The port to the airport without going to the city centre, not wasting time. Can be fully replaced with an BRT Line or for Line 1 of Journey's Subway System, called "Metro". 

- Via Expressa Jayme Costa (Jayme Costa Expressway): Connects Alternatively Via Expressa Norte-Sul to Via Expressa GreenBelt, but the principal function its to connects the airport with the same name to the rest of the city.

Fabio Costa, looks good! I think you could expand on the commuter rail network, though, at least with one line to the airport (that is, unless you're planning to build a very "anti-dense" city, like Phoenix).

Had to redo this residential area thanks to a save file corruption. That area is complete and the large blank space is going to be a large hospital site. I need to plan how to arrange it and create some new lots for the site. Not sure if it's large enough but this will be one of a few major hospitals in Passau.

As you can see, the free tool Maps4Cim (https://github.com/Klamann/maps4cim) is quite helpful for this. While it can't draw the roads directly, it does recolor the terrain which can give a nice idea of how things should look ideally. Sadly, many real life road layouts aren't possible in CIM2 - but it's close enough for now.

EDIT: Progress

Maybe you could consider adding some more space between buildings (although they are kind of locked between the avenue and the highway). You know, for parks. As much as I know, green surfaces make patients to feel better.

That was playing on my mind actually. I was sort of annoyed there wasn't enough park space. I'm thinking of removing some road sections, the road bridge over the motorway and bringing forward the motorway tunnel entrance to create a dedicate park for hospital patients.

The park would cover this area, roughly...

Other than that, the one thing that stands out is the length of the bridge over the park. Does this connect with a car park or something? It just seems a bit redundant to make a bridge over such a distance to me.

Yeah it connects to a multi-storey carpark that serves staff and visitors. It's a compact site so didn't want lots of surface car parking.

My first third BAT! Just in case you have a hard time discerning what exactly it's supposed to be: it's peat!   :D

Next up I want to create a huge pile, like this:

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/Peat_stacks_and_cutting.JPG/1280px-Peat_stacks_and_cutting.JPG)

Now dumb question time: how exactly do I render HD props in gmax/BAT? For now I've just made a big model and resized it with model tweaker, which seems to work alright I guess. Would be nice to render in proper HD from the outset though.

Also, this small endeavor took my appreciation for BATters to a whole new level, this modelling business ain't easy!  $%Grinno$% Hats off to all the BATters out there!  :thumbsup:

Post by: APSMS on March 28, 2016, 02:21:01 PM
I wasn't aware GMAX could do HD renders. I figured you needed 3dsMAX for that, which is why it's so prevalent among most BATters (well, that and proper nightlighting).

3dsMAX is free, but I imagine its workspace is pretty different from GMAX.

The method you're using does work properly, though admittedly I would have had no idea what it was unless you had said something.

Post by: mgb204 on March 28, 2016, 02:32:10 PM
Just download BAT 4 Max, it's not just for 3DS max :).

Once installed, it will put scripts in place that offer a HD option under the preview roll out.

Well done on the BAT. Honestly, someone with your texturing skills should at least have, what is for me, the hardest part covered. With your desire for the historical, I could imagine some totally unique objects coming our way soon  :thumbsup:
Title: Re: Show us your . . . . current projects
Post by: vortext on March 28, 2016, 02:50:31 PM
Hmm, so I've downloaded BAT4Max but it needs 3DSMax to install properly - unless there's a manual option somewhere just for the Gmax component? And I didn't know 3DS max was free as well, though I can't find a free download, unless you mean the educational license APSMS?  ()what()

And yeah, making the texture was the easy part indeed, just whipped something up rather quick and it looked alright - imagine my surprise! :D

Anyway, should really be going to bed instead of trying to figure this all out this right now. .  ::)
Title: Re: Show us your . . . . current projects
Post by: mgb204 on March 28, 2016, 03:09:49 PM
BAT4Max includes components for both 3DS max and SC4BAT.

Even 3DS max users must create the LODs using SC4BAT.

However, looking at my files, I realise my error. Because Bat4Max handles it, it overwrotre the memory of the separate package  ::) Find what you need here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=7430.msg238749#msg238749), sorry.

As for free 3DS max, many people are using the educational licence, I think it's pretty "flexible" in terms of who can sign up. So long as you aren't selling models, I don't think they care too much. Word of warning, newer versions of 3DS max are no fun to setup, but of course 3DS max would bring you much better quality models in the long run.

Yeah I can send them to you. The only issue with the skywalks which feature the concrete supports is that the support props are, I think, a type of monorail support, I need to check that. The problem is that they look perfect from one angle but switch to a different view and they don't line up with the skywalks. I don't have an issue personally as I use them purely for in-game CJ use but it's something to bear in mind. If anyone had any ideas in regard to alternative support props let me know.


Now the hospital site is complete there's a few other gaps in this large city tile that need filled before I can move on to work on the massive Passau Island area I announced in my MD many months ago.

This particular city tile has featured extensive GLR and I'm in the middle of planning a modern GLR depot. The depot will have cleaning and maintenance facilities as well as being the 'tram parking area' during the hours the GLR doesn't operate.

I'll be using MGB's lovely depot buildings and Simmer has very kindly agreed to assist in the creation of GLR track overlays, they'll be a clone of the RRW overlays he's showcased in his thread. I'm very grateful for his assistance and MGB's depot buildings.


This is the area it'll be located in (the motorway in this area will be placed in a tunnel)

and this is a rather simple plan for the depot. I'll likely refine it in-game and with LE, so the final layout may vary slightly and will depend on track layout and so on :)

Looks promising, belfast! For other layout ideas, you might take a look at this new maintenance yard (http://thesource.metro.net/2015/05/26/photos-dedication-held-for-giant-new-foothill-gold-line-yard-in-monrovia/#jp-carousel-79900) for the Los Angeles Metro. It's somewhat similar to what you've planned above, and it should be large enough to suit your needs.

Meanwhile, I've been working on a new airport in preparation for a new series of MD updates. To start, here's the access road setup as it stands:

While I'm not totally pleased with how Terminal 1 looks, it seems to be the best way to combine xannepan's JFK terminal with the modular terminal pieces to make a larger terminal.

Terminal 2, on the other hand, turned out much better, IMO.

In order to better reflect the runways' magnetic headings, I made a few custom runway designators for use with Tabi's 200' version of the RMIP runways. I'm also working on a set of 30° exit taxiway textures that will fit these runways (some of the streets below are serving as placeholders for those taxiways).

Looks great and a more realistic office parks.  Only one complaint and that is parking.  The first image the parking looks sufficient.  The second and third, seems to lack more realistic parking for the size of the office buildings.  No real complaints, only an observation for what could be suburban office parks.

Yeah, the spaces are rather limited. These are all growable lots which is why I was hesitant to supersize the parking lots. If you look closely, there are multiple entrances on the lots which are meant for expandable parking via my modular set.

KOSC: Thanks! Just wait until you see the whole airport. Your latest business park lots are looking fantastic, btw - I look forward to using them in my cities!

Remember how I said I was working on a set of 30° exit taxiways? Well, here they are:

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4509/37309842324_5ac5eb9669_b.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/YQWGgw)

I made separate lots for the runway side of the exit taxiway and the taxiway side, each with the taxiway facing one of two directions. The lots aren't as modular as the classic RMIP, but I've endeavored to match the style of the existing sets.

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4450/37988205572_045432eb10_b.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/ZSTu2A)

I made sure to include all the details and get the geometry right. mbsimcity's plans for new runway/taxiway lots came in handy, and if he comes back, I'd love to collaborate with him to help realize the dream of having good-looking, 200-foot-wide runways.

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4474/37309842024_53b3e08573_b.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/YQWGbm)

I'm still trying to get the taxiway center-line as close to the center of the runway as it should be, but I've run into some trouble. The flat props I made for my first attempt turned out to be pretty much invisible in game, so I'll have to find out what I'm doing wrong on that end.

These parking textures are a true revolution for sc4 parking realism. What texture are you using, kosc, to extend the medium-green lawn, like in between the buildings in the last image? Never mind, realised it was Maxis' default $$ grass. Never thought it looked so good! :D

Post by: j-dub on April 07, 2016, 01:11:36 PM
Ughh. If I had it my way, all the Maxis and Nam based pavement would have that more realistic look these new parking lot textures have instead of that Maxis default black pavement where there's no skin detail, but it's too time consuming and complex to make such a replacement for all parts. Otherwise, I would say thisshot  looks pretty real, too bad Maxis networks are too cartoonish.

Just to follow on from my development thread (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=16939.msg510731#msg510731), I've managed to get the base pieces working. There are a few minor issues to sort out, but it's happening finally. Obviously the image is photoshopped a bit, for example the transition with the 270° bend doesn't actually exist (yet - maybe I add this). But the diagonal pieces are working, basically a carbon-copy of those from MattB325's diagonal add-on for the original's by SG.

If I manage to work out FAR-Support, I'll probably update them for both SG's original and CAL's re-mastered canals. Since the only difference between them is the textures and how they are rendered.

Whoohoo (https://i.imgur.com/7drHiqr.gif) - sorry couldn't resist.  ;D

But yeah a 225° bend (180+45 ;)) and other ortho-dia transition pieces are kinda necessary imho to make it work properly.

Other than that fantastic work. Who could've guessed so many years after CAL's incredible remaster we'd see diagonals for these canals as well!? Certainly not me. +1  :thumbsup:

Working on more relots of Maxis stuff. Next up: schools:

Added walls to their yards to prevent the kids from walking off the school while on recess >:D. Also got rid of some parking spots since I felt they made the lots awkward to place realistically. May need to tinker more with the municipal university one. The Large Elementary School relot is outdated in this image: I removed that extra gym since I realized it already had one :-[
Hospitals and clinics:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FzgOGM3R.jpg&hash=374176545776412039d5bcf00ab96178402c0735)
For the clinic, I decided to replace the parking lot with a small patio, and the back of the building prompted me to add a short asphalt access. There's not many changes on the hospital besides the parking lot. Tried to simulate a front parking entrance with that storefront prop, covered some odd rendering of the main building with cp's stone wall props and added benches on the inside.
Passenger Rail station variants:
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FkvQuxx9.jpg&hash=5ebadeaa6172e3b28fdd1cb1a17b3909e967aa61)
For these I decided to modify the stats of each variant, using the NAM version of the vanilla station as a reference. For instance, the compact one has 25% less costs and capacity, while the terminus one has 10% increased capacity and costs. The passenger stops is way cheaper but has much lower capacity in comparison, with the TE version having double to compensate for the fact that traffic that passes trough counts against it.
And finally, I uploaded the Grand Rail Station relot to the LEX. Feel free to point out any mistakes I possibly made :D

Post by: Themistokles on August 18, 2016, 10:15:49 AM
These look really good! :thumbsup: (Even despite them being maxis... :D) Especially the schools look great -- I'd actually think the large high school would be a very good W2W corner. The walls that you've added also fit very well. Regarding the one for the oldest students (college? I don't know what the English version of the game calls it $%Grinno$%) my only suggestion would be to add some excitement, like benches and maybe a big (non-Maxis :P) tree, to the small park area, instead of just some grass. But that being said, many real-world schools are horribly non-exciting places too, unfortunately.

The hospitals and train station I think are very good too. :) However, I think you should consider giving the stations some longer platforms, considering that most commuter train sets are at least 40 metres long (2 to 3 game squares) and that many commuter rail stations are built to be able to fit trains with double and sometimes even triple sets, i.e. with platform lengths greater than 80 metres (5 game squares), or even more. 5 game squares might be hard to achieve in the game, but at least 3 square platforms could be possible with a 1x1 station lot using overhanging platform props.

Anyway, I think this is a very good project and you have already made in my mind very good lots. Lastly, I hope that I have managed to convey these suggestion as the friendly piece of ideas as they are meant to be. :)

Looks good! If I may, I might suggest for the college to remove any parking altogether and just provide a nice sitting area or something. Even a small college like that one would have a sizable parking lot (bigger than the 2x3 space not occupied by the building, I'd say), which could easily be made with the variety of modular parking sets at users' disposal.

The nice thing is you trace out the original shore line with one road tile at a time and once you have everything done - you still have the original shoreline but now everything else is perfectly manicured. I tend to do the same thing for my cities as well to have flat land to develop.

Great to see you back  :)

I frequently use a similar technique and can understand both the tediousness and the reasons for being precise with shorelines. One thing I'd suggest, to save you time, is either to be less precise with the middle portions of your water or to use the god-mode leveling tool for larger areas (adjustable by zooming, with shift, with CTRL, and with shift+a number). A mod is required to do it but should be easy enough to find, if you're not already familiar with it and are interested.

Yeah, I understand that controlfreakishness. That is what computers can do to you. They do it to me, more or less.  :D
You can do things in such an exact way, the machines are designed for it, that you want to do it that perfect way.
It gives a certain feel of satisfaction that you can manipulate things. It's one of the main reasons why SC4 is so popular, I think.

Hey, Ralfger! Nice project you have here! I also have made my region by myself, using terraformer and in-game tools, so I can give you some advice :)

First of all, like vortext said, after you start your region you can use Terraformer. It's a marvelous tool, that allow to . However, vortext mentioned also to protect started cities not to have them saved over... but personally, I don't do that! I do modify already existing cities and when saving I chose the option to save changes but not erase established cities (hidden behind "no" button). For now, I haven't had any erros related to this.

1. First of all - water. Even though you're in the mountains. It's better to terraform with thinking not about mountain ranges but about water catchement areas (drainage basins)*. Bear in mind that rivers are everywhere. Water drops from the rainfall and any point need to find its way downstream... right down to the sea.

So, avoid creating small basins without outflow. In real, they would fullfill creating a lake and after reaching the top, water would flow further**

I used to make the same mistake back in the past until I put a river somewhere in the mountains... and had to reterraform everything below.

2. Secondly - the main rivers. Rivers in flat areas tend to meander. Yours seem to bit a little bit to straight sometimes, in few places you could make them winding.

3. Try to make a place for a dam - you might want to have one in the future. A narrow valley with steep slopes, in area of high elevation.

4. Now about mountains and terrain shapes - mountain ranges are... ranges and tend to have a continuous "centerline" that makes their general direction and layout. This line is called "ridge" (Gebirgsgrat in German).

Below I marked on your region few areas without outflow (red circles) and proposed main ridges (yellow)(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FKbEdi0m.jpg&hash=b6a0275f9c4f5a1de5a9b20581fbd2f045bd53b4)

What is more, I'll show it on the example of my region. With blue lines I marked rivers (note that from each place water can flow downstream!). With red lines I marked main ridges. With thin purple line I marked few examples of catchements. The image is high resolution in a link below:

*A drainage basin or catchment basin is an extent or an area of land where all surface water from rain, melting snow, or ice flows to a single point at a lower elevation (usually the exit of the basin, where the waters join another body of water, such as a river, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, sea, or ocean). It is very important to know and feel what a catchement area is.

** Excluding very dry regions. Or very big no-outflow areas (like Grand basin in western US or Jordan Valley), that creates their own closed system, where instead of sea there is a lake (like Great Salt Lake or Dead Sea) big enough, that amount of water evaporated from it equals to amout of waters that flows in from rivers.

I hope, that you understood what I generally mean... sorry for any mistakes, I was writing it quite quickly. This is some knowledge that I gained after years of trial and error terraforming and region shaping :) Feel free to ask more (in fact, hydrology and hydrotechnics is my profession, so I know something about that :D )

@vortex: Thank you! And I thought so but as soon as I started SC4 after terraforming in a city under development (locked!) I faced a ctd until I removed the whole region  ()what()

@Ernestmaxis: Thanks again and I´ll do for sure - it may take a while....

@kbieniu7:
First of all thank you very much for your great advice and the effort! What you describes is exactly what I have in mind for my region - a dam for water power and reservoir, a plateau for a skiing resort, small creeks, waterfalls and rivers running down the hills into the main rivers, a canal connecting the rivers between the moutain ridges, impressive cliffs by the sea... Imagination is without limit but - a rather huge but - I don´t have the knowlege to achieve it at the moment.  :crytissue: E.g. shaping of mountains: I end up with eiter cliffs and deep valleys or those silly round lows. So I take my chance to fire away my questions (not only regarding the water system but mainly technical stuff if that´s ok with you)  ::)

Sorry for that long list of questions (I still would have more  "$Deal"$).  ;)

Thanks a lot for your patience and any answer!

Ralfger, that's fine, although I'm not a pro in Terraformer and have rather trial-and-error knowledge ;)

Quote from: Ralfger on January 18, 2017, 10:20:51 AM
It is possible to see the city borders within the Terraformer? Sometimes I face very annoying, unplayable layouts in specific cities.
I don't think so. I have the same problem. My solution is to have an in-game screenshot of the region with tile borders on and try to navigate with its help, but that's not perfect anyway.
However, I don't care much about city tiles, I try to built as there was no edges, trying to seam everything on both sides of the border. I've even built a dam across two tiles ;D

Quote from: Ralfger on January 18, 2017, 10:20:51 AM
How do I control the level curves during shaping? Using tools like smooth/make valley and so on gives me odd results...
Actually, I don't understand what you said there. Could you explain more?

Quote from: Ralfger on January 18, 2017, 10:20:51 AM
What is the trick to path down e.g. a small valley for a later creek made of mmps?
Hmm... First of all, I try to imagine, how a creek/valley would go. Then, I try to "open" all no-outflow areas on this way (it might create some kind of steps along the future river course. If so, I use "smooth" and then "plain" tools, trying to make the longitidunal slope as consistent as possible. That's quite time consuming unfortunately.

Quote from: Ralfger on January 18, 2017, 10:20:51 AM
Is there a ratio between the size of the tools and the tiles in SC4? I need to get a feeling of proportions e.g. width of a river, size of harbour etc.
If you press "g" key, you toggle the grid (instead of default countour lines). This grid is equal to the in-game grid (1 tile=16x16 meteres). If you know your terrain well, this might help with figuering out where tile borders are located.

Quote from: Ralfger on January 18, 2017, 10:20:51 AM
How do I cap the altitude of hills/mountains without smoothing them to death??
Once again, I'm sure what you mean. If you want to make a mountain (or any other terrain form) that have exact altitude, you should check it with mouse cursor during terraforming (look for a small red dot at the top of the cursor). Below the main window (in the lower right corner) you can see several data - coordinates: x,y and height - they correspond to the point that you are currently pointing with the cursor.

Quote from: Ralfger on January 18, 2017, 10:20:51 AM
How do I avoid terraforming below bulidings of existing cities?
Like vortext said: just after loading your region into Terraformer, you can chose which cities you want to lock. No changes will be made to those cities (all changes you make over them will immediately and automatically "undo") as well as none of them will be saved.
However, if for example you want to terraform just a part of existing city (like you had built up just half of the tile and you want to terraform the other half)... then you need to remember where exactly the buildings stands and just avoid terraforming this places.

Quote from: Ralfger on January 18, 2017, 10:20:51 AM
Regarding the forking river I still have no idea how to start/connect it to small outflows from the hills. A lake seems to be unrealistic.

You mean to connect MMP water with "real" one? Well, that is a big question to all of the players ;) In one place I made a dam - upstream was plopable water (as a lake) and downstream was the "real one". I ploped a waterfall generator, so it imitated a spillway and covered the beginning. In the rest of situation I just plop MMP water as far in the "real" one as possible (with making a little estuary with "real" water), but it's not always nice-looking...
You can check two of my updates, where I made such things.

Morning devotees!  ;D

I've been working on some (re)texturing for the past few days, mainly to relot (CP's residentials and other lots) and modify some textures, in particular the AC airports textures, to match the MGB mod(s) I use.

I'm absolutely obsessed with making everything match up  ::) ;D

Here's the results, for the airports (click for larger):

Small Airport (Stage 3)

Large Airport (Stage 9)

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/740/31584908033_1bf8cac1f4_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/Q83UKT)

The image below shows some of the re-lotted CP residentials, and shows a bit of my other work...

I've modified the TGIs for the Maxis (and SFBT) medium wealth trails / parks and the medium wealth (weird off green) grass to match MGB's mod(s) I use and to replace the MW trails with the HW (black) trails.

While not the most realistic looking parking lots, etc., it is an interim (and easy) solution, the long-term and more arduous task being re-lotting them.

I hated how the parking lots of commercial buildings didn't line up if they grow next to one another, so I thought of fixing it this way.

I must say, I'm very pleased with the result  ()stsfd() :P

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/632/32395927175_6639656599_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/RmHAux)

You'll also see I'm quite obsessed with the SMP sandstone base texture... I hated how lots didn't always align / match the sidewalk texture, so I've replaced (modified the TGIs) of most in-game base textures so that they now match - and more importantly, line up!  $%Grinno$%

Bedtime for me! Flight to Cape Town later today...  :-[

@art128: How stupid I am -never seen that :D  Thanks, now that issue is solved for sure!

@kbieniu7:Thanks again for your really helpful answers! Terraforming becomes more managable... Regarding my question about the level curves an example might help: I want to fine-tune a riverbank using flattening or smoothing on a level curve. Sometimes is goes to the right expanding the beach, and on other occasions it goes to the left, narrowing it. And it doesn´t seem to have any influence on the result placing the red dot on either the left or the right side of the curve. ()what()

I gave it a quick try to start a city and indeed -no problem so far :)! Kings Road to Königsfurt

No I get what you mean, Ralfger. I had the same issue, it's quite challenging to smooth it correctly... I do not have answer there, I just use trials-and-errors rule :/ By the way I also forgot about this option that Arthur posted :D
That's a nice terrain there. Hope you will show us more of your developement! What about starting an MD? :)

To M4346, that's pretty nice lotting! I hardly lot anything larger than several square tiles large, one small town in LE took me two years :D Hope, you have more time to show us something from your New Frontier as well ;)

Hello guys;

I'm working in the artificials islands located in the bay of Saitama. Today I've created the main heliport of the Prefecture. Here you can see the result. Hope you like it.

I wish I knew how to build airports like that... I have no idea what I'm doing with them. Also, is that RHW-to-Roundabout connection working?

Technically, yes - but really it's just an avenue that converts to RHW immediately after the roundabout. Just drag RHW4 into an avenue tile and it will create a seamless transition.

That is a beautiful egress ramp you have there, Ryan.  Perhaps I will take the plunge toward using a single egress to construct a ramp that diverges left and right instead of two separate egresses like I am currently doing for all four approaches.

Good choice of platforms! They fit excellently and I'm always a fan of quality HD props  :thumbsup:

Could I bother you again though about what those big warehouse-ish props are that you're using on the lot? I'd love to investigate their potential use in an airport environment.

Nice work! Pity the textures don't all fit. I know the availability of useful textures is always too little, and I see you are doing as best as you can.
The trees in the lot do not really fit, in my opinion. Maybe they would fit in an entrance area to a shop or main office, but not in the industrial grounds.

It's seems that nobody took the references :(

Onirosanti is a city with a name inspired by Magnasanti (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTJQTc-TqpU) and a layout based on Mega-Region (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmZ06Uz2gug). My challenge here is to build a futuristic metropolis without being too dystopian though. And here is some progress. The final product will have plenty of parks, rewards, landmarks and tram lines.

A new small town I'm working on, named Mermaid Town. The challenge here is to build a city that follows the landscape of its area and still provides as many amenities as possible with the lowest environmental footprint possible. This means no power plants based on fossil fuel, few to no low-tech industries, no out-of-place layouts, as many parks and mass transit options as possible, and no excessive terraforming. Obviously there is a lot of work to be done.

I don't think anyone's interested in pics of what I do with PIMX, but I have just updated SG Residentials Vol3 to fix a minor issue with a building style OG.

https://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1046

As the only affected building could never grow in the first place, there is no need to demolish anything. And as I do not have the BSC image files for a proper installer, it is simply in a zip with the suggested install path of SimGoober/Residentials. I've used the same filenames as the original, so if you've kept this path, it will simply overwrite the original file.
