Southwestern Windmill  2

About This File

Here is windmill #2, a southwestern version. It is designed small, with a low monthly so that you can drop many down in a small town to give it that Southern style.

 

Plop - $500

bulldoze - $10

monthly - $50

1000 watts of power on a 1x1 lot. It does not replace anything already in the game.

 

Thanks to all who helped with the design process. Please comment, rate, and as if I need to tell you........enjoy!

 

Update - You asked for it, here it is...The watermill has been added to the zip file. I have rotated the tail and changed it to a pump that produces 2500 cu/m of water. All the other stats are the same. Now you have two lots, a windmill that has not been altered, and the new watermill. I hope this helps.

The 'tail' of the windmill is sticking out in the wrong direction. It should be straight behind the blades. As is, the wind would turn the blades away from the wind rendering it useless.

Thanks for the comments. JMH - I saw pictures of it both ways, and I will upload the picture I worked off of later today onto my 'shmails bat designs' forum for you to see. As always, if enough people agree with you I am always willing to change for the better.

Very well done. I agree with the others about the tail. Also I thought the blades would be vertically strait.

I have uploaded a few pictures that I used to make this lot. Please take a look and let me know, maybe I just used the wrong pictures. I want the lot to look authentic, so please let me know. Thanks again.

Sorry about the double posting but I just thought about what they were used. At least were I come from their primary use is for pumping water. Could you add that to the lot?

Your windmill is wonderful, perfect for every rural community. But I have to agree to the others, the tail points into the wrong direction. I looked at the pictures in your thread, but this tail seems to be rather odd. Oh, and Trolca is right, the windmill should produce water instead of power. ;-)

Once again, great work, gshmails... These little details were missing from the game, but you're fighting the good fight to get them in there! 10

Your willingness to take onboard people's suggestions where they make sense to you is most refreshing. You are up there with PEG and Nexis in my list of favourite lot makers. Great job.

Dust bowl here we come. Great design. Figures are out of whack with in game numbers. Like the idea of one for power and one for water.
