Metasmurf's region

[metasmurf 705]

Oh yeah, another Cj by me. This time i've focused less on small detaling and more on building. So, the result might look a bit uglier then my previous Cj's, but I simpy don't have time for the small detaling anymore. And hey, it's just a game Since i suffer from bad imagination, i've taken random names from a map of the state of Utah. Well, enought talking.

FILLMORE - UPDATE 01

Well, gotta start from somwhere

A pretty ugly begining, but I had to build som ordinary maxis building before puting the no maxis bulding mod into the plugin folder. Let's just wait from simgoobers small homes to grow.

Oh, there they are (i have the swedish version of Sc if you wonder what the weird language is)

After some bulldozing, and planing, here's what i got:

Oh yeah, this is how clean rows should look like

A few random farm shoots, nothing else to say.

Notice the custom made windmill, made from SG's props

Ops, almost forgot..A closeup of Sg's rural stores

Overview:

And that's the end of update 1. I have several more updates allready made, so it shouldn't take long before next update is posted Cya (Hope i didn't scew up with this new forum thingy)

I don't like it metasmurf! I think you should post the whole region pc in the first place... nah! just kidding!

Great new start! the pics are awesome, goopd work!

[Simen 1]

Woohoo! Great start meta! Elsker d! finally a new cj from ya

[mightygoose 92]

very nice farming town, great start

I like your variety of trees in particular; I also like the dirt road behind the houses. Are the trees themselves God Modeable, or are they lots? The dirt road I assume is a set of lots? Looks nice.

likikng the start have to see where this goes great work keep it up

Thanks for your comments

RiverCocytus: I use a mixture between Peg's random woods and Jeronijs Sesonal forest lots, and in the big forested areas, i just mix everything together, and then ram it with cycledogs god mode-flora As for the dirt road, try searching for "dirt" on stex, they're called dirt alley something

Don't know why all the text is bold in this post, i tried to fix it but it doesn't seem possible. Anyway, to keep the interest up, i'll post another update now.

FILLMORE UPDATE 2

First some terraforming and planing...

Zoning...

There we go...

Church and cemetary

A few more stores...

Overview:

Yupp, that's it. Cya next update

[sloppet 3]

Maybe you should use more Different buildings?

[Zelgadis 638]

I dunno, sloppet.  The rows upon rows of cracker boxes may be monotonous, but they certainly are more realistic.  I can't tell you how many neighborhoods I've driven through like that.  But you do have a point, there is much to be said for variety too...

But anyway,

Metasmurf is back!  You can bet that I'll jump right in when I see that name.  And what's this about not focusing on details?  This is you not focusing on details? 

This, folks, is Metasmurf disorganized.  And he's still better than almost everyone else...

Anyway, like I said, I'm loving the rows of houses.  Reminds me of the cracker box neighborhood I grew up in.

Hello Meta,

I have to say you are making a great use of the available trees !!! I specially liked the seasonal woods in action ;-) , and also this fantastic church

[dfnva 34]

The farms look really nice, nice rural small town. Keep up the good work.

Nice detail you have in your rural town. Why did you say that you weren't going to pay attention to detail, b/c I see that there is tons of detail? Great job and looking forward to more!

sloppet: The plan is to use one buildingset per neighbourhood. So there will be other building sets aswell. Just wait and you'll see what i mean in future updates.

zelgadis: Thanks for your support. Well, I don't really care about realism since it's a game, and getting a city realistic in SC would take endless of hours making custom lots in lot editor. And i don't think anyone has the time for that.

jeronij: Thanks, and I do enjoy your seasonal woods lots

dfnva: Thanks!

cityhawk: Off course there will be details, but not as much as before

I'll post another update in like 20 minutes.

[rooker1 4]

Not alot of fine details but it looks great to me anyways.  And sometimes it just fun to play!

Great new CJ, I'm excited about that harbour(?) in the region view... Hope this one will get a better destiny then your old CJ. Great!

[spikeydarren 1]

This CJ is looking great ,i love the forest tower thing.

[Simen 1]

*whistles* niice. really coming along well, really enjoy how you focus more about the game in its entirety, keep it up, meta

[patfirefghtr 159]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet updates missed the second but wow still great last 2updates keep up the good work

[mightygoose 92]

really nice looking region and more great shots of the farming community, nice use of the dirt trails.

[Fabiocb 1]

nice work, it looks like a very calm place to live, keep on the good work.

[Cjah 15]

I can't belive it I always end up missing the first few updates,but atleast i found the place alright...lol

but none the less awesome job,maybe sloppet has a point with a tad more variety,but excellent work all in all.I absolutly love your farms and I think it was your farms that originally inspired me even though I have been through many big and small CJs with similar farming...there is just something about your work that makes me scream "OMG why can't i do that?"

anywho I can't wait for more updates and i hope you see my CJ one of these days to give me some rural pointers...

[cityhawk 12]

Rural perfection is evident here! Great job!

[Zelgadis 638]

Wow, incredible farms and forests!  Everything you make is just so pretty!

Well, the row of crackerboxes wasn't pretty, but I liked that anyway.

This is surely great work that you have there. Attention to detail is good in my opinion but too much kills the fun out of playing the game. What you show here is certainly a great balance of detail and builder friendly CJ work. Great worl!

[sloppet 3]

Great work so far.. one building set per one neighbourhood you say? Well... maybe it isn't a dumb idea...

The region shot is really great you know!

[Nardo69 51]

Good one! nice rural seddlement! I like that high street with jeron?'s wall and SG's irrigation kanal!
