Show us your Creeks, Rivers, and Streams!

[John Kirby 1]

Show me and the members of Simtropolis your prettiest Creeks, Rivers, and Streams!

[Nardo69 51]

Not bad but you really should turn off the grid (just press "G" )  before taking pictures ... 

And the river bed is a bit empty, could need some nice rocks etc. 

Some teaser of one of the upcoming updates in my CJ: 

And this is oneis from my recent update: 

Enjoy!

My bad, I completely forgot to turn the grid off.

Your river looks great!

[Nardo69 51]

Well, seems to be this is not becoming the most crowded "Show us your ..:"- Thread ... 

Anyway - a nice'n'fresh screen shot from my last session -enjoy: 

[FishermanIvan 3]

Some from my current region.

[joshriddle 29]

Nice rivers everyone! I won't post any of mine for now because I am currently using the Maxis water.

[Nardo69 51]

@FishermanIvan: 

Nice River. Nice use of the TPW but the shores could use a bit more variety. Well, they are the hardest part actually ...  

You might use some other trees, too. PEG's pice tree cluster is nice but becomes boring rather fast. You might try Girafe's pine trees from SC4D together with c.p. pice trees. Have a look ar my forests in my CJ and you'll see the difference! 

@joshriddle: 

Feel free to do so, Maxis water is water, too!

 Well, here's another one from me, actually same map, same area but from a higher zoom level. Have fun:

Pics like this are the ones that make me wonder if you're taking shots from your own backyard stream...

Doesn't it though?!

Here is one from my latest session. I didn't show the entire area I wanted to show... I haven't quite completed the redwood forest. Keep in mind this is Maxis water. Who needs ploppable water?

Nice Work, I like the rocky river banks.

[The Duke 11]

Very nice work, i like the clear plopable water.

[joshriddle 29]

[Nardo69 51]

@TekindusT: Almost.  As I am living in exile the backyard is my home country that lives in my heart ... homesickness make one creative with this game ... 

@joshriddle(1): Nice one. Like the shores.  But you should work on these Redwoods. I guess you use Tree Controller tress (i.e. God Mode Trees). Ever thought of downloading Girafe's pine trees at SC4Devotion and try Mayor Mode forests? You can see the difference it makes in my CJ ...  Drawback: it is extremely time consuming ... 

@Muck308: Not bad. Also my advice to download and use some Mayor Mode trees! 

@joshriddle(2): Not bad, too! Peg's Stream Kit is a bit outdated though, but you really try to sue PW - it will add a lot to your pics (and decrease your work speed ...) 

Ok, another one from my latest update:

Have fun! 

[DCMetro34 577]

Amazing work Nardo....you are a big inspiration to me for rural CJing. I have no idea where you get half of your content, but it amazes me! This is my first river actually, so please feel free to critique or point my towards any better content.

What is PW 

ED: Never mind I found out. Well, I kinda wiped out that region a few days ago.. 

I'll use it i my ew one. 

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Something simple for a change - no ploppable water, no spectacular dams, no waterfalls or rapids... just a boring, unimportant bridge that carries some boring, unimportant main road over a boring , unimportant river somewhere out in the suburbs (which are equally boring and unimportant, in case you didn't guess).

[heitomat 156]

Nothing looking that realistic could be that boring and unimportant, T Wrecks. Great picture!

[DustyLee23 6]

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like something from this tree pack by SimFox.

[DustyLee23 6]

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

I don't have any in either of my CJs, unless you count this:

https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=36&threadid=118258&enterthread=y#1778587

[quicksilver991 37]

A waterfall, a bridge, and some pine trees.

Edit: Sorry, I forgot to turn off the grid.

This is from my latest update.

[Nardo69 51]

Der Gammler on the German SImforum is developing a new ploppable water. Not completely innocent on him doing so I was able to help him betatesting them. 

Wanna see? Have a look: 

If someone's interested I might make an update out of this ... 

Have fun!

@Nardo69: Where did you get those retaining walls? Looks good, I love the powerlines!

[quicksilver991 37]

Very nice work everyone!

[9988 428]

So, this is one from my CJ:
