Marina  2

About This File

I have added a bridge to the shore, improved the lighting slightly and added navigation lights. I am still working on this lot and hope to come up with more improvements. The zip now contains both the original and the new version.

 

A recreational marina for your waterfront developments. This marina acts as a large park. I have not modded it but if you have any requests for a simple modd let me know and I will try to implement it. The lot is 4x3 tiles.

 

To place it, you will need to level an area of seabed that is not too deep. If the seabed is not level the lot can still be placed, but the graphics will not look quite right.

 

I don't know why, but the whales in my game find it very interesting and come in to check it out.

A very nice looking, well thought-out lot, although at night it seems to be quite dark... Maybe a few lights going down the jetties?

ed_diaz, you are right, I always wondered about that in SC2000, which was the main inspiration for this lot. I will have to think about how to modify it so it has a bridge or something going to the beach. I am still learning how to get lots onto variable terrain. Thanks for the input.

Salamanda, thanks for the suggestion, there are a couple of ideas I want to work on in that respect. I will have a tinker with it tomorrow and see what I can come up with.

villarule, the boats in the first picture don't move but if you look in the second picture there is a boat in the lower right. There are a whole heap of these but they appear mostly further out to sea. Sometimes they don't appear straight away in the game.

SOMEwhere in the LEX (!) there's an overbridge lot, maybe you could use the same technique as was used on that one for a bridge to the shore (?)

I will have to check if the new one work better but the first one the boats were on sand not water.

Hmm, did you know Maxis is putting a Marina in with Rush Hour? It'll let you drive boats through your city!

Hey, this is coming along nicely! I think the LEX should bump these up when they're updated, otherwise they get lost even though there are big changes. Then I guess you'd have everyone bumping they're lots with little changes, though.
