    Thanks everyone!

    I'm putting the finishing touches on 826 N. Plankinton, which will henceforth be known as the Grantosa Cafe, but it's been a while since I last modded something, so I've got a dumb question to ask: if I want the building to grow in the middle of a block OR on a right corner, can I mod a single lot to do both, or do I have to make two separate lots?

    I.e., can I set the Road Corner Indicator exemplar to "0x08,0x0C" or do I have to make two separate lots, one for 0x08 and one for 0x0C?

    I'm pretty sure I can mod one lot to do both, but I just can't remember! :uhm:

    Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing well.

    Just wanted to let you all know that 826 N. Plankinton, now known as the Grantosa Cafe, has been released on the STEX!

    Nothing new to show now, but I have a few projects in the hopper and can't wait to show them to you. :)

    Impressive indeed. That's the first time I see a cafe at the side of the building like that. :wub:

    Well, it's getting rather late in the year, isn't it? As the days grow shorter and colder, I'm feeling more motivated to BAT! I've got a few new things going on...

    1. Aqua is still in the wings. I can't seem to settle on the textures -- some of them still don't seem quite right IMO, so I keep tweaking it now and again. Rest assured this will make it's way to the STEX some day soon.

    2. For some reason I have developed this need to recreate buildings that are abandoned and crumbling in Highland Park, and the Hamilton Arms is no exception. This building used to stand at the corner of Hamilton and Hill in Highland Park's northwest corner, it has recently been demolished. This just needs to be modded and lotted and it'll be ready for the STEX.

    I may have a couple more SUPER SECRET projects in the wings... you'll just have to stay tuned for them! ;)

    Hope everyone is doing well!

    I think the bricks on the Hamilton Arms would need more work - contrast between "bricks" is a bit excessive.

    If you are like one of those painters who tried to paint a whole canvas by using "dots" of colours, then it's fine - however, if the result is that the dots are visible (they stick out, rather than blending in a canvas, which is what does it happen if, for example, i look at a canvas painted the way I described by being too near to it)...well, the illusion crumbles.

    Aqua is a fine looking building. I'll be gladly using it in Hiroshima.
