Show us your Creeks, Rivers, and Streams!

I have a nice collection of streams and rivers here:

These here are from the Capital Province of Timberland, namely from the Sierra de las Cascadas Forest Preserve:

This one here is from a neighboring settlement: Monte Colmillo--it's my tallest waterfall yet:

And these are my most recent creations: in the new region of Madagascal-Emeraldian Beta (I'm using a sligthly modified Madagascar map with the terrain mods I'll be using for my planned CJ, which will come by summer):

This is Salto Sabroso in the outskirts of the coastal town Arena Serena:

These ones here are in the outskirts of Río Cristal. The single fall is Cascada La Gruta, the two smaller ones are the "Chorreritas":

Kieran Creek. Probably one of my better works.

Coming to my CJ soon!

SimCoug: Awesome mosaic! Love it! Simply outstanding ! Which software are you using? i'd love to have similar renders on my pictures but...

[SoloOne 20]

Hi, fantastic work here guys!

Here is my first attempt at a creek. It's Ontaw Run in a new suburban community I'm working on:

There are some things I just can't seem to get right, but I've decided to leave alone. For now...

I have a lot to learn about MMP's and SC4 in general, but with the info on this forum I'm having fun learning. Thanks for the inspiration!

Here's a little overflow creek running past a cemetery.

Wow. That is absolutely incredible. Such patience you must have, and an eye for detail - how on earth do you know where to begin!?

[Lost Realist 762]

SimCoug and paeng really amaze me, it's great inspiration.

Fresh out of my CJ:

[Identor 9]

Just a kick of this topic to inspire the nature-enthousiast

 

After a day struggling with mods i came out with this:

 

 

For a bit grunge along the riversides (gravel/pebbles) is used the MMP  from OMCo Filling Gravel.

 

Identor.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Identor, that's actually really lovely! I can't fault it, the stream sits well and there isn't any sharp riverbed line either.

These look really well made, however they could look infinitely better with a carefully chosen terrain and tree mod, as well as some community-made buildings

two different styles both kinda cool

[89James89 1,169]

Just my two cents. 

 

A small spring above the town of Marinko.

heres a couple of things i never got around to posting

This is Glerb Lake, in the South side of the CBD of Anas. It is connected to its sister, Miel Lake and connected by Dogwood Creek.

This is a closeup of Glerb Lake - sure, you work near the motorway, but just imagine this is the view from your office?

The city has provided a lovely gazebo so Anasi can take lunch by the lake!

Dogwood Creek flows by the University, past the Lower Glerb station and some posh flats

That's all for now. I was inspired, so I thought I would share

Thank You for sharing Lumeria, but you might want to check out this thread first so you can edit your post so we can see your pictures. They need to be .jpg not .png

INFO: How to Post Pictures on Simtropolis: https://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/46701-info-how-to-post-pictures-on-simtropolis/

Looking forward to seeing your work.

[Lumeria 17]

Thank you, Phil, I do appreciate that. I assumed DropBox photos would work, but alas they did not so I had to switch to PhotoBucket and it worked like a charm! But I will especially remember to convert from .png (default in-game) to .jpg in the future. Not a problem with a little free program IfranView

Diagonal railway viaduct over diagonal stream. Believe me, for years I haven't thought that it would be possible to create a setting like this. Other than resorting to McDuell's technique of modifying the terrain with the SC4Terraformer after building the viaduct, it required turning the RFR Plopwater and Pegasus' Terrain Kit MMP's into props, switching from RKT1 to RKT4, offsetting the props, and creating lots with overhanging RFR Plopwater and Pegasus Pebble props (as described in a tutorial by FrankU found on sc4devotion). An honest tribute to all the SC4 community members that have spent much time to get around SC4 limitations. Hope you like it.

[simlink 1,098]

Amazing work, you have made great use of MMPs... looks like a really nice spot.

[rsc204 21,857]

Great stuff, I'm still not able to get really good results with RFR plopwater or MMPs, just don't have the patience, but you've done a fine job.

It might be helpful to know, you can use the DBE in this situation, usually it's not necessary to offset the MMP flora as props in such cases. although going this way does make it easier to get the river/creek exactly where you want it and not where the bridge allows.

Giving this thread a bump , I recently came up with these ...
