Hello dear Simtropia visitors !!!

Time for some quick shoots on my actuall SC4 city...you can call them work in progress...

In that city I try to create a realistic and credible river stream, which is born in the perpetual snows up the mountains, and descends to the main river...I hope you like the actual situation, whcih is the basis for this project.

The stream (all four posible views)

I´ll try to reply your post and requests as soon as possible. In the meantime, a BIG THANKS to all for the feedback and compliments  !!!! 

Oh!!, and check the STEX. Cycledogg has released some fantastic plopable rocks which are a must have for any SC4 landscaper !!!

This is a very nice effect. It's looks like it's paint shopped. Am I correct. Will this be something your going to incorporate into your plop water flora set?

It's really cool (pardon the pun) how the river comes out the side of the snowcapped mountain and slides down the cliff face.

Well done..

[jacqulina 162]

wow thats awesome work very beautifull,i love the rivers and falls,very scenic pics

[wouanagaine 83]

Wow wow wow !

Incredible, fantastic, awesome

Do I see a road under a bridge ???? Is it working ???

Or do I spot a road->subway connection ?

Anyway this is really impressive

[Goin2Chicago 4]

oops, i completely over looked two updates. well, awesome work. about those new bridges that are in your sig, for some reason when i build a bridge ingame they don't show up in the menu, is there like some trick to it? thanks in advance. can't wait for more!

[kimcar 10]

Wow great update again. You know how to drop people jaws. Thanks for the rock tip. Can't wait for the next one . Take care.

Get to see that you are back, Jeronij.

Okay jeronij another fantastic couple of updates.   I still am in awe of your rural farm land.   It is absolutely stunning.

Jeronij said: Gaston, also good news about those rocks. Keep an eye on the STEX....quote>

I'm still looking for your rocks.   LOL    BUT, I did find some others today before I came in here.   LOL   I then noticed you commented on them.  

Oh!!, and check the STEX. Cycledogg has released some fantastic plopable rocks which are a must have for any SC4 landscaper !!!quote>

 

I do have another question though.    In the below picture...

                                                                                                   ...Is that a drive-in movie theater???????   Right there at the bottom, slightly right of center????

Cause it sure looks like one.  And if so where did it come from?????    (And my girlfriend wants to know what is playing?  LOL)     Hmmm, too bad I drive a little 

pick-up truck or I could sneak a bunch of people in there in the trunk of my old car.       

Enough questions for now.    Thanks alot for the updates.

Gaston. That Movie Theater is a Maxis Creation. Just zone a 4x4 Commerical lot. I find that High Density grows them more often then other 2.

jeronji: First visit here and I love it. Keep up the great work.

[SpecialEddie 3]

Stunning! I love the new bridge skins and the rock mod! As well as the small waterfall escalading into a river at the base!

[teddyrised 1]

Hihi jeronij... I am totally impressed with the bridges over the valley! They look awesome, and the scenery is simply stunning... the great choice of trees, the flexible use of ploppable water and the style of the bridges you use makes a really nice picture! And street bridge looks lovely!

Looks like you doesn't only have talents in making suburbs and downtowns, but also in making wonderful rural areas and natural landscape. Keep it up!

[Charles Rodulfo 0]

oh, Nice update... well, from what I've seen here in page 87... I'm gonna check it out. Looks like being gone for about a week made a lot of difference, eh? Nice bridges and the forest surrounding it and the fantastic river! it looks so river-ish and the waterfalls are stunning with the rapids effect! Keep us updated!

Take Care,

Charles

Hello dear SImtropia visitors !!!

Time for another set of work in progress pics.  Since it seems you like the waterfall I am actually creating, here comes two mosaics of it. 

The first mosaic shows the north area of the city, aproximately at the half of the mosaic starts the waterfall and the stream.

CLICK ON THE PICS FOR FULL SIZE VIEW   (HIGLY RECOMMENDED)

Because the stream is not straight, I made a second mosaic showing the south part of the stream. This part is only pre-designed, as you may notice, and many details have to be added yet. I hope you dont mind it too much

CLICK ON THE PICS FOR FULL SIZE VIEW   (HIGLY RECOMMENDED)

Finally I´d like to show you some of the (again !!!!) custom stuff I created for that waterfall/stream.

The set is composed of three lots ( actually, maybe I´ll expand it). From left to right:

Transparent water foam effect ( founded in the deeps of SC4 files)

Transparent base surface to underground water tunnel entrance ( rural style)

Transparent base undergound to surface water tunner entrance ( rural style)

See them in action  

Surface to underground

Undergound to surface

I hope you like the pics. And I hope you like the custom lots. Unfortunately I dont have the time now to answer every one of you personally.My son, my wife, my life.... .  I am sure you will feel responded with this BIG BIG THANKS to all for having had the time to leave a nice support post. Even more those days, when the CJ section is so so active !!! too much for a 37 like me  

ussagus, I remember there was a "crop circled" farm in the STEX some time ago. Not sure if this is available anymore though.

wngn, no my friend, this is only a road-->subway transition. Hopefully, thanks to Buggi, someday that will be possible

Sorchin , I guess your question is answered in this post....

Goin2Chicago, I just can tell you make sure the new bridges folder loads AFTER the NAM folder ( You can rename your folders for that purpose). Other that this..... Also try to draw a street bridge. Since there is only one it should show, If not, go and read the start of this answer again

Gaston, my rocks will be released as soon as posible with the gently help of dedgreen. In the meantime, there are some great rocks recently released in the STEX !!!

[metasmurf 705]

sweet, that bat looks amazing when can we expect to se them on stex ? (if you are going to release them)

[Tommy_Vercetti3 3]

That looks sweet. Great work! You always create awesome and useful things.

[jacqulina 162]

wow beautifull work i cant wait to download them thats if you are putting them on the stex

[Yoman3 5]

Crap I missed a few. WOW WOW WOW on those bridge skins. (Well skin). I think it looks awsome. Like a roman viaduct. Too bad you cant do that bridge with those paths and make it an old trail. Now that would be cool. Also awsome with the new grates and warter fall. The only thing is I dont think it looks right haveing the mountain snow-topped. Ah well awsome work!

[Sagrel 0]

SWEET! I definitly love those rural areas...And the Waterfall is fantastic! Your custom lots are so great...and your rocks too! I have a question...Are you going to release those custom lots??? So...WOnderful updates again! Keep up the good work...and your waterfall is incredible...

Take care

Sagrel

[kimcar 10]

[vester_DK 477]

[Dark Lord 0]

 Great Bat Jeronij, can't wait to see it on the STEX.

[sorchin 18]

Thanks Jeronij. That's great to know. I'll do a search for that effect now..BTW. That river along with cycledoggs new terrain texture is beautiful.

Hmmmm,  i didn't know that MiniMark.   I have never seen them pop up in my cities before.   I will deffinately be looking for them.

Jeronij,

      I will continue to look forward to your rocks.   I have downloaded Cycledogg's rocks as fast as he put them up there.  LOL   Hmmm, any chance those water textures and surface transitions might be available???   I can only hope they will become available someday.     

    Thanks for another great update as well.   Very kool indeed.

I feel small in the sight of true mastership.

Those bridges and that stream of water are just too much.

You should mark your CJ with Caution for peolpe with weak harts.

PS. Pim says hello back. He's enjoying a half day at school now as we concluded that he doesn't have the energy to go to school a whole Thursday.

Hi my friend.

I guess you've started again    , haven't noticed that really, I'm not hanging around here as much as I did before, kinda lost the interest... but... since you've started again there might be a chance that I'll start playing again, you get a lot of new ideas seeing all your pics. They're lovely!

I know you like details (just look at your new model   )  and so do I, so please just continue with your work! 

Regards.

[IdeaWorld 4]

Thats weird! I was going to make something like this! Oh well. How did you get that water flow mist to form? And cool forest!

[crazychickensc12 84]

Cool mosaics there, awesome looking stream!! and the flora around it looks great! keep it up jeronij!
