Hey, what El Rail textures are you using? I've looked all over for some good ones but haven't been able to find any. I like the ones you're using.

 

 

Isn't that the heavy rail viaduct?

How did you get those yellow crosswalks at the road intersections? My road intersections are just dull and blank, with no lines or crosswalks. I have the very latest NAM and features installed.

 

The yellow crosswalks are found in the Crosswalks Pattern Mod by ebina. There is a zebra crossing set and a yellow crosswalk set. Link to files: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/nu6p0121f79rw/Outdated_or_Not_Shared

I'm making my own re-lots of the "LBT house pack" with new desc files and 8 different models from that pack, I have now 32 new re-lots.

 

   

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Wow, that's sure much concrete on the lot! But I trust that you know better than I do how these houses (and their lots) typically look. And while I cannot judge the concept, the execution is sure great so far!

 

I keep saying it, and I'll say it again: We have too few lotters, and not just since yesterday. It's been quite a while since the BAT came out, but there haven't been many people who took existing creations and used them for additional lots and different purposes, although we have such a huge variety of models at hand. The immense wealth of BATs that we have is hardly taken advantage of. People used to get so creative with the limited resources of the existing Maxis buildings and textures before the BAT came out! Now we have abundant resources of models and textures to choose from, but the lotters have mostly disappeared... it's good to see that a few still take interest in that underrated tool that is the LE!

[watercitymadero 805]

Thank you. 

 

Yeah. The variety of BATs in the SC4 community is striking good , you can do many varieties with these materials.  

 

Ok, as you can see, this lots I'm making have a mix between some decoration styles (asphalt, planters, pots, iron fences and concrete walls) that we can find here in Mexicali Mexico (where i'm living now  ) , Monterrey Mexico (where I live during my childhood   ), my Hometown Madero   , and Hong Kong Villas, Villages, or Vilas.

 

 

 

My inspiration:

 

Mexicali, Mexico.

 

 

Monterrey, Mexico.

 

Ciudad Madero, Mexico.

 

 

Hong Kong, China.

 

 

 

 

I made 1x2 and 1x3 tiles, stage 1, 2 and 3 with this lbt houses, and I will try to do some 2x3, 2x4, 2x5, 2x6 lots in the future. I hope that the next ones I'm going to re-lot, are some models from Kei jp, BSC Jen P, EHA and Bixel.

 

greetings

@ CDM Madero: Looks like you're on a good way. I'd definitely download and install them if you put it online.

100% same here! I've always loved the LBT models/props AND your lotting looks excellent.

More progress on the airport.. Feels like a total drag considering how long i've been on it!

 

I finally figured out what i wanted to do for the roads leading into the terminals! I decided to go with a simple one-way carousel utilizing the NWM 3-lane one way roads. And parking is not an issue as this airport boasts an 8-tier garage!

 

Did some modifications on the North American terminal, switching out the united jets (for a 727 and A321) and replacing the AA A300 with a 777. I also got rid of some Delta 757's and replaced them with 737's and an MD-90

 

But here's the biggest addition so far. This region is actually an island nation which is in the perfect position to serve as a layover for ships and jets. But here we have maintenance facilities that serve just about every kind of aircraft! In fact, this facility is even responsible for keeping a lot of the older aircraft like the trijets  and 737 Originals in the air! It also includes the fuel storage tanks that are replenished by tanker ships. I filled in most of the open space with Paeng's grunge tiles for now, i'm still debating whether I should add something more in those spaces.

 

And just like every driveway is connected, every hangar leads to a runway!

[MushyMushy 3,618]

That's a very well thought out airport you got there.

[art128 4,622]

Indeed a well thought out airport. Nice work! 

[NielsC007 499]

That's a very good looking airport!

[SUPERMESSI 294]

That is just a f good airport!

It is indeed the heavy rail viaduct, not light elevated rail.

I am using RVT's mod for RRW.

In the picture you see the rail catenary mod in combination with "ConcreteSteel_DkGrey" textures for the rail viaducts

Hope this helps

Working on a large tile right now. Here's a finished bite

[SimCoug 5,976]

What have I been working on?  Lotting, lotting and more lotting.  

Specifically, I'm working on creating some 2x3 and 3x3 lots that will grow and fit together seamlessly  (and having fun using vortext's recent base texture pack)

 

[Lucario Boricua 7,052]

 

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on how to build fly ash tailing mounds?  I have multiple coal power plants and just found some ploppable concrete slabs, which provide a barely adequate substitute for a proper ash mound.  I'm lucky I found the coal mound to supply the plants about a month ago.

Going to BAT this structure from Seattle;

 

 

or maybe I already have...

[T Wrecks 10,210]

That sounds awfully familiar...

I admire you both. I've never conquered the Lot Editor, and the interface always bugged me. All the more reasons to appreciate your efforts!

Wow that's a very very nice start! Don't forget that the LBT also released another huge prop pack of R$ C$ CO$ buildings that you might be interested in, plus they were looking for someone to do the lotting

 

 

 

I started a similar project for my Latinamerican CJ bus stopped on the way..I hope you don't mind if I take you some of your ideas in case I go back to that project 

 

The accuracy is pretty good For more accuracy, I would have added some sidewalk items, but it might end up with oddities for people that have special sidewalk mods. I'd love to see an in-game picture to see the result final result with houses put next to the others.

 

Keep up the good work amigo! 

[T Wrecks 10,210]

You could even hook up with Edvarz, who is currently lotting his way through bigger LatAm buildings. I think he's using the aforementioned resource packs. Find his thread Between the two of you, you could get some serious lot project going.

[ZeusAV 20]

Working on my 4th region.  By the way does anyone know how to overwrite the Regional transportation view colors that come with the NAM with the old blue, orange, etc. colors that I was using before?  You can see some of the cities in the region still using it.

 

 

[watercitymadero 805]

Working on some Functional Passenger Ferry Terminals.

 

 

[Bastet69008 1,102]

More space needed for the deck But it's awesome, I really like the concept of using the airport terminal props

 

[watercitymadero 805]

After that I know that the sims are using this terminal, the only little problem I have now, is the elevation of the lot, I need to figure it out. 

 

 

But here it is the final "Terminal"   :

[Mr Saturn64 742]

I've decided to revive my old Belmont project, which is a large Paris-esque city.  Here's what I have after an hour of work.

 

 

 

[watercitymadero 805]

Excelent project Mr Saturn64.

And what a return! You've really captured that unique Japanese feel there.

After 3 months of not playing the game I got some time to finish this city tile.

 

This is the bottom half of the city of Cambrian.

 

The main transportation corridor in Cambrian.

 

Palmas District, a highrise node on the other side of the bay from downtown Cambrian.
