Also, does someone have an idea of a building to build on this angle ?

Nothing fits, there is always a gap between the two buildings, which really annoys me.

Have you tried this one?

 

Progress on Lowe's: 1 of 2 lots completed...

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

So you did the Heblem Lowe's, now your doing Bobbo's Lowe's,wi ll you complete the trifecta and do hillbillytycoon's Lowe's?

[jmsepe 2,039]

That lot looks interesting. Would perfectly look good anywhere in my cities.

@michae95l Thank you! For the lights, I don't know... I always had lights on my tram in road puzzle pieces. If it may help you, I use the Belgian lights mod (or something like this), but even Maxis lights are supposed to appears on the tram in road pieces. And my terrain mod is the Meadowshire one

@Artimus Thank you! Maybe it could be the solution even if I try to avoid empty walls.

@matias93Thank you too. There is indeed awesome buildings on SimCity Polska and I already have all the buildgins from Motokloss in my plugins folder

 @nos.17 Thank you! I didn't even know that FAR buildings existed

 

Here's a picture of Olsènes' old town under construction

@feyss I'll investigate those lights. I've been thinking about changing my terrain mod to something brighter, greener, I'll give that one a try. 

You really have striped Olsenes back! Looking forward to seeing the finished thing and comparing it to the old! Keep up the great work!

Oh boy. Parking lots are about to get just a tad crazier.

[Compdude787 916]

Oh, diagonal parking lots, I see. We've never had such a thing.

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Completely rebuilding Rourke after obliterating it due to a bug that caused the mayor rating to constantly stay down. This time with a more prominent CBD. And a different name. Alexandria!

And for those wondering, mayor rating is now at around 90, so we're doing okay.

[Compdude787 916]

I like the elevated avenue running through the city!

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Thanks! It just ended up that way when I couldn't find a  better way to bring it down after the bridge. I just kind of worked with it and it turned out okay.

[jmsepe 2,039]

Looks good. Hmm but that factory like building seem out of place.  

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

I see what you mean, and to some extent, I agree. But I like it there. It fits in with the natural surroundings and it (if only just a little) helps to break the grid. We'll just pretend it's some historic landmark.

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

It's getting there. See if you can spot some new transitions.

 

[Lost Realist 762]

That's amazing! Is it modular?

[BLANKBLANK 4,414]

Brilliant! I see some diagonal entrances, driveways and parking corners.

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

@Lost Realist: These lots are all for internal testing but yes, I do aim to release them as a fully modular set once I've wrapped up most of the textures.

 

[Compdude787 916]

I'm assuming there's going to be a version without the palm trees, right? Not all cities in the SimWorld are located in tropical areas.

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

@Compdude787: Yeah most definitely! I'm going to try to keep the base sets as devoid of trees as possible, so players can choose to plant whatever they want on the grassy areas.

Some more proof-of-concepts:

Now witness the power of this fully armed and symmetrical err...circular-ish parking lot.

[Lost Realist 762]

All of that's just super great news, I know exactly where those will go already...

[jmsepe 2,039]

Wonderful. I wonder how those would look like in Asian themed cities though.

[Belfastsocrates 1,753]

Will you be able to connect the car park entrances to roads?

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

@Belfastsocrates: There's definitely going to TE pieces for entrances and the like. Different wealth levels are probably going to be offered as well.

Oh please make sure these are texture overrides so I can enjoy the awesomness on all lots ^^

[BLANKBLANK 4,414]

Incredible!

I don't think it's going to work like this. The dimensions and proportions are too different; existing props etc. would end up scattered all over the parking spaces and driveways. Look at the grid and then compare the size and spacing of all components (individual parking spaces, rows of parking spaces, width of driveways, etc.) to Maxis textures. You'll see that both don't have very much in common, so my guess is that you shouldn't get your hopes up too much.

Working on making a ship canal ---

The only thing I've decided so far -- is to widen the canal a tiny bit, deepen it likewise, and stick to in-game water rather than a plop water variety.

I've also got to run a highway and a rail line across it.

Any suggestions ??

As one that has recently spent hours and hours editing over 500 different lots, I see a lot of what you've done here! Marvelous! Love it! I like the SHK cars myself...truly great pieces of custom content for use in lot editing. Course this looks like some new content as well so right on!

Go big. Trying to clear big ships is no small matter. I have 45m clearance here, and I'm still not sure all the ploppable container ships actually fit under it

 

I've recently been building up Newstead, which is in the north-west of the Mearcgræf metropolitan area. This is the Nondescripts Sports Club grounds, with Nondescripts in action against Rushmede on the No.1 pitch. Nondescripts were a founding member of the Arthurian Football League in 1864 and won the King's Cup knockout tournament four times, although this match takes place way down in the ninth tier of the AFG league system.

Deliciously done man! Love the unique setup of the sloped roadway to bridge...

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

That's a nice looking sports park Joe!

@GMT: T Wrecks is absolutely right. Additionally, there's something off about the scale with default textures. Even overrides wouldn't be able to curb the inherit issues with single tile parking block pieces; the placement is just too uncomfortably narrow.
