Something new, trail parks for Mars

Any idea is welcomed

[Terring 6,476]

After 6 months of delays, the blue project in finally begins. For now, all R$ lots were reloted.

[AndisArt 2,068]

Now that the Terraform 1000 mod has been released the Reloting packs can also be used on Mars! hehe

[RiCHBoyZ 75]

hmm, that funny... i simply put simmars 3beta +Residentials folder into my SC4 plugins folder and everything growable without need to re-lot them. 1 common building that i can recall is SM_R$8_TenementBarbarella and it grow a lots all over the place!

That's true

Did you notice their red surface, with plenty of dust and rocks? With this style they fit perfectly on red Mars... but not on Earth or green Mars. My project is to replace their red feeling with a green one, by adding trees, talking Sims, fountains e.t.c.

[Terring 6,476]

I just finished with the dirty industries (I$)

I think I add too much white smoke. At least it's better than the black one

Dirty industries can now fit better in a cleaner, futuristic environment

[Terring 6,476]

All farms are finally reloted

[AndisArt 2,068]

cool!

[Mr Montmorency 1]

I'm still awaiting better execution on the whole texture fiasco in order to get this thing to work.

[Terring 6,476]

Need a fountain, but you don't have enough room in the ground? Build it in the roof

[Terring 6,476]

All R$$$ lots are ready

[Terring 6,476]

I would like to make a small question. My project is using props, textures and buildings from SimMars Beta 3. Now everybody however can download a 200MB dependency, in order to have those stuff. I would like to know if it's possible to make and release a separated pack, that contain only the buildings, props and textures of SimMars.

[IL. 1,043]

idk, maybe you can release them in packs like, one for relotted simmars residential buildings, another for commercial, and one for parks and for utulities

or you can just, upload them all together on a free site like, uploading.com, if you didnt like it you can find more, just google it, and upload any file on simtropolis, just so you can make a file affiche, and give the link in the discriptions of the file, the link of the real download effcorse

Hm, not sure if that would help, most of those 200MB are buildings and textures anyway. The rest of the mod doesnt take much space (the music files are excluded in the 200MB, they add another 100MB). Let me think about it.

[Terring 6,476]

Thanks for the replies my friends.

By finishing all R$$ lots, all residential lots are finally reloted

Next step, the commercial buildings

[Terring 6,476]

By finishing all C$ lots, I can finally build beautiful "ghettos"

[Terring 6,476]

How about reloting the Maxis airports?

[Terring 6,476]

As about the seaports, I have 2 chooses. Some months ago I relot the Maxis seaport and turn it into a truly industrial spaceport. With this trick, it's possible to build "seaports" anywhere you want.

But what if you want to keep the "seaport" style of the Maxis seaport? Inspired by the proportions of the Venus Project...

... I made a second version. Here is a sea-air-spaceport, with both ships and spaceships.

Which of the above versions in better? And why the sea-air-spaceport still keeps the Maxis textures?

[Jamesrules90 133]

The first one is better because it blends in more but the second one is actually a seaport. If you made the second one have a few more things on it it would look quite a bit better.

[Terring 6,476]

For technical reason I'll select the first version. I also made a new spaceport, better than the previous. Now I need to add something nice in the empty green space but I'm not sure what

[Terring 6,476]

The seaport spaceport is ready

Now I need to relot the lighthouse. Any idea?

[Terring 6,476]

Here is an improved version of my spaceport. Now it has some fuel tanks, nice effects, some futuristic industrial vehicles and an iron fence. The fence will not surround the whole spaceport, so you can build 2 of them and make a larger one.

[Terring 6,476]

The "lighthouse" is ready

[Fresh Prince of Wmbg 44]

Nice project. I'm interested mostly in how you upgrade the transit systems.

I'm expermenting your first pack right now and it looks promising.

[Terring 6,476]

A better version of Memories of the Colonists is coming soon...

[Terring 6,476]

I made some changes in most of the lots of the Martian rewards.

Some extra trees in the lot of the hotel.

The convention centre doesn't has a huge empty lot any more...

Mini improvements in the parking places of the communication post.

The hydrological laboratory didn't had a nice scientific lot. Now it's more high tech.

I change a bit the lot of the arcology to fit better with the base.

The advance fire station had an Immortal Lot problem, because the building overhang the lot a bit. I fix that.

No reason to have prop cars in the road of the opera, so let's remove them.

In the medium colony hall I placed a small parking and a medium plaza. Now they're replaced by green zones and a huge underground garage.

The large cemetery had an empty lot... and that's all. Now I fill it with a lot of tombs, fence and trees. I also made is spooky. Really spooky!

A great improvement of the advance police station. The flying police cars are stored in their own "garage" and a nice open space is in front of the building.

Not something in the country house, just some extra trees in the parking.

The large primary school has now a larger, better protected yard for the kids to play.

The nuclear power plant has a better, more realistic lot. New fences, outside buildings, parked cars and ecologists who just invade into the facility.

More trees for the advance school

The small cemetery is surrounded by fence.

The weather station has a better, more scientific lot.

I also relot the Martian museum. You can see Sims watching the outside exhibits.

I can't remember what the heck I was thinking when I relot the Martian mayor house. I hope that you like the new version.

I also relot the alternative school.

The Martian stadium is under development...

[AndisArt 2,068]

It keeps amazing me to see the SimMars creations transformed into a terraformed future.

And you are doing a really lovely job here!

[Terring 6,476]

Glad to hear that

The Martian parks are finally upgraded. I change the base texture of some of them to make them more realistic, while I add more trees and Sims in the plazas.

Mix them with the Maxis parks and plazas for pretty cool results.

I also upgrade the civil buildings. I'll upload pictures of them tomorrow.
