Natural Parks 1.0

I can honestly say this is a good mod,I hate seeing those lines in the parks. I always wanted the parks to blend in and just look like they grew out of the ground, then it just being plop and standing out. Nice mod man I kinda hope to see more.

Excellent. Death to nasty ugly astroturf!

Nice ^_^

Why did they add those ugly white-line crap in the first place? :/

Oh.......my.........god..... THANK YOU! I have a touch of OCD and that blue "astroturf" drive me quite literally nuts, I'd deleted entire city files just because a few of those broken looking parks showed up >.<

If this works like you're saying here it's definetly as of now my fav SimCity mod.

I've wanted a mod like this ever since placing my first park, thank you sir.

Thanks :) really good!

A very welcome update for those dreadful park textures. Thank you.

Well improved. I will download and use right now. 5/5

I've been waiting exactly for this!

I'm thrilled :D Thank you very much :) 

Very very nice!

Cool, it seems that the new simcity is starting to come alive.

But I still don't like it's graphics :P I wish if they made it's graphics looks to simcity4 (fake 3D) but instead of 4 views, maybe 8 views or 16 views+curving roads and the systems that this simcity has=The best city building game ever!

 

Great work thought! these additions are going to make Simcity alot better

Simcity 3000 is 'Fake 3D', Simcity 4 is Fixed 3D: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_graphics#Fixed_3D

Maxis obviously did not want to just make "SimCity 4.5". The modern gamer also expects a major title to have a free 3D camera, nowadays the fixed/isometric perspective is associated with cheap indie games and mobile apps.

thanks a lot! :)

This is how a park should look, super good work. Thanks a lot.

Quick question, does the texture change based on region? If I remember correctly, by default the park textures change slightly between regions. I am pretty sure they do at least... For instance look at how the park strip appears in one of the new regions like Verdant Jungle and then look at how it appears on one of the older maps like discovery delta. If I remember properly the textures change to match the current environment... So, with this mod, will it make parks look strange in other maps such as the deserts or the newer green maps? I'll prob just have to check it out myself, but I thought I would bring this up. I do like this idea, though I would prefer if the ground textures were simply transparent so that you don't see such sharp edges around them.

Ooh, I'm totally going to get this, time for some real earth!,lol!

Those turf parks have annoyed me from the beginning. Going to be installing this as soon as I get home. Many thanks!

The way it is designed it should take on colors that compliment the surroundings, no matter what the color is. It uses the ground it is placed on as the starting point. As far as the transparent textures, I tried it and may upload the option but it does not eliminate the edges due to the way the lot is created. Thanks!

The parks look amazing! If I ever get the will to play Simcity 2013 again I will try these out, the parks should have been like this in the first place!

Works as stated. I love it.

 

My only SMALL complaint (which is really more of a problem with the parks the game offers and not this mod at all), and really just more of an FYI for people to keep in mind is that sometimes it can make parks (especially the small medium wealth "short/long tree row" parks) a little hard to see if you're like me and plop trees all over your map.

I see.

Agreed. I just select the parks button so it floats an icon over all the parks. Makes it pretty easy to locate them. Thanks for pointing this out.

Yep. I just meant people should keep it in mind because I was attempting to build something that wouldn't plop and I couldn't figure out why. Finally zoomed in and saw the park. Now I know to bring up the parks menu when this happens.
