NTM's Lot Workshop

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Update to my project. I fixed the issue of requiring a power station nearby by just making it a power lot(So technically it powers itself). Here is what i am going to include in the zip.

Random generator

Horses generator

llamas generator

Cows generator

Here is my next project:Roundabout filler pack 2. This one doesnot replace anything and appears in the parks menu.

[Slashback 136]

These fillers look good, but you could try to make them look more non-grid (not having stune textures as base textures, only grass).

Good work!

[His Divine Hand 244]

Sooo. . . why are people standing around in the middle of a round-about? Seems a bit, absurd to me.

[MandelSoft 2,775]

I have to agree with His Divine Hand: why would you take a seat in the middle of a roundabout.

But I'm not complaining about everything (although it seems I do complain a lot in other threads). I find the fountain and the garden house filler simple yet beautiful. It's just a small modification with maximum effect! That's something I do like

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

i am sorry about this, but my roundabout pack had some problems with it. I had to trashcan it. At the moment, I am taking a two-day break from lotting because of Christmas.

Happy holidays everyone!

Here is my next project:A national park entrance station:

[Slashback 136]

I'm sorry to hear about your roundabout fillers. Honestly, I think you should make some new roundabout fillers, because making toll booths and entrance stations etc. requires some work with the BAT and some transit editing, if you don't want it to look unrealistic. The booth is standing in the middle of the road, and that will make the cars run through it.

Here is my next project:

A motor speedway:

[Faded Glory 13]

Hmm... Neat idea, but it does need improvement. The outside of the stadium not only seems too crowded but also extremely repetitive. Also, I don't understand the purpose of the buildings on the left of the picture. It could probably use some more cars too

[MandelSoft 2,775]

If it is a speedway, those are really tight corners. In fact, for normal roads these corners are really tight...

[quicksilver991 37]

Also, the road is very narrow and the concrete texture doesn't look quite right. And I'm not sure what the police kiosks are for and those buildings on the left side of the road.

There are cars, but I guess they din't show up in the photo

The police koisks are ticket booths and the buildings on the left are supposed to be luxury seats/pulvilon

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Here is my next project:A water pump for rural areas or roadless cities:

[Slashback 136]

It looks nice, maybe the Sims want something else than grass to walk on?

Anyway I like it, the base (or overlay) texture is your decision.

I think I will make the base texture transparent, I know how to do that now.

[quicksilver991 37]

I agree, that is a nice looking water pump, but the base should match the blank terrain around it.

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

I had to remove the transparent texture because it gave me some issues . Instead I found one that would look nice for a rural water pump.

[Slashback 136]

^ I'm sorry to hear about the issues. To me, the texture looks like it was before

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

My next project is another roundabout filler pack:

[MandelSoft 2,775]

Try to make a version of the fountain and garden house filler without palm trees. We don't all live in the tropics of California, you know. Try to use more common trees, as on the leftmost OWR-roundabout filler.

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Like mrtnrln said, i replaced the palm trees with decidous trees:

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

Update to my project, I fixed one of the lots and added an additional filler:

[MandelSoft 2,775]

Ah, me likes

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Actually, I'd make that last avenue roundabout filler you made more round.

Which one?

[T Wrecks 10,210]

The last one you've added to the pack, the one with the cherry trees. I think it would look a lot better if you arranged the trees in a circular pattern. Basically, this applies to most roundabout fillers. Roundabouts are a great feature to "break the grid" and hide the square-based architecture of SimCity, but the effect gets ruined when the inside of the roundabout looks like a square.

[Slashback 136]

Your skills have improved. Way to go!

[nathanthemayor 1,263]

As T Wrecks said, I made the cherry trees in a "circle" fashion:

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Much better! Now you no longer see that a square lot was inserted into a circle. Everything looks rounded and non-tiling. You may want to consider this method in all your roundabout fillers. Placing large props in all four corners highligths the corners, but the idea about a roundabout is that there are no corners.
