That must be a pain, but the end result sure is wonderful! WOW!!!

Some almost finished work. The city centre can have a new life now. I just need a damn tramway to appear

I see you've used the automated sidewalk mod from MGB204. But how did you get the pylons to appear for the trams?

[feyss 1,981]

It was made by Mandelsoft. It's not officially released but you can find it here

Thanks! Also, where can I find that Tram in road station? Thanks again!

I think it comes with the NAM. It's totally at the end of the transport menu in the game.

this was supposed to be the fist completed city in my region and the first city for my hopefully upcoming CJ. But I left the city in Zoom one when I saved it last and loading up the city causes it to crash instantly.

So Now I am rebuilding for a THIRD TIME!

Looks good. See that's why I always try to save through playing!

This is damned good work!!!

You have gone to a lot of trouble -- even to the point of trying to match individual buildings to one another.

Looks really good!

WIP Dam.

I scratched my head as I wondered how to deal with the sides of the dam.

 

Then I realised- MMP the sides.

 

Much work needs to be done to finish off the river and the power generating part of the hydroelectric dam.

What's the ploppable water mod you're using!?  It looks neat!

That looks like Diggis Pond Shingle Base Set.

Fiddling around with fillers .

Thank you T Wrecks for those IRM fillers and SFBT for the Diagonal Filler pieces .

They can be found here on the STEX .

You're very welcome - it's the most rewarding feeling that I can get from my SC4 lotting activities when I see that my stuff is actually being used (and enjoyed) by players and CJers!

It's really a pity there are not that many lotters left, because as it seems even the most humble fillers are still useful, even after years of custom content creation.

You are too humble, sir.  Your fillers are (IMHO) crucial to the detailing required for realism.  They are an inspiration for those creating custom fillers for their own games, as well.  I may be a "newbie" -- but I know what looks good.  And your contributions are spread all over my maps!

Thank you for your work!

The mighty New Duveland capital Macquarie is slowly seeing new light... 

Next step is to redo the beachfront and touch up the inner-suburbs to make them look more lively and less repeated.

I have the bridge...

Now I just need the river...

Yo, guy --

Is that in Skylines?

No, that's from SC4.

Yo, MushyMushy --

I'm still learning how to handle the Nam32 puzzle pieces (I assume that's what he's using).

Could you give me a VERY brief explanation of how he got a bridge without water under it?? 

Generally, I don't know one puzzle piece from another.

His bridge looks great -- I would like to be able to do that.

Obviously I'm not playing that city, but looking at it, LnX hasn't used a Maxis bridge at all. That will be a eye-candy bridge, with the ground raised. For the bridge just search google for simcity 4 eye canny bridges and I'm sure you'll find some on the STEX or the LEX. 

After this, you'd probably use MMP water to create the river. 

Hope this helps. 

[vortext 573]

michae95l beat me to it.

But yeah, the bridge is an overhanging prop, found here.

Yo, guy --

I've got the MMP water, no problem.  I've even worked out a way to get a Maxis bridge across an MMP river.  His way may be easier.

But -- I'm afraid I made the assumption that the bridge was fully FUNCTIONAL.

I've found in SC4, the more you focus on aesthetics, the less functionality you get.

Yo, guys --

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I understand where you're coming from. 

AND -- I can even understand the value of lotting an eye-candy coaling dock.  But I have not yet run into a situation where a road (or bridge) is strictly there for the looks.  

As Mr. Spock said -- "It is not logical, Captain."

Thanx much, guys --

Merry Christmas !!  

P.S.  Drop by my CJ to see the coaling dock I'm developing.

There is a way of creating functional land bridges. Use Teirusu's Rain tool and use it to fill up a tiny hollow in the ground which the bridge will go over. The rain tool creates terrain game water and so it enables the use of bridges to go across it. As an added bonus this water disappears when you return to a saved game.

Here is the mod- https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/21531-teirusu-rain-tool-additional-god-mode-terrain-tools-2/.

And here is an example of the method in action.

The river is made up of MMP water, also MMPs can be plopped underneath the bridge.

Yo, Ln X --

Thanx VERY much for the link to the Rain Tool. 

This will make it much easier for me to place bridges -- in a wide variety of places.  I've always thought we were missing out on "bridged ravines" as opposed to water obstacles.

Your link will be MOST helpful.

Merry Christmas !!

I released such a non-functioning bridge myself recently. They really don't work well as functional bridges, you certainly couldn't make it an overhanging lot if you did that. Then there is the height of the paths, to consider too. I think such bridges I would generally confine to non-functioning walkways myself.

I find some people want everything to be functioning, but in reality what does that really mean? So long as your sims can find another way to get places, things only have to look right, I don't get into other considerations all that often.

Exactly- things have got to look right.

Yo, guy --

Eye-candy is all well and good -- it's great stuff -- no probs, mate. 

I'm probably just too old-fashioned. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!
