The poor mountain town is transforming into a posh spa town:

But I can't start in an abandoned village...

Thank you for your support

Lots of new never seen props and textures will accompany this lot
This is still very much work in progress but a teaser nonetheless....

It's very good! I was going to say that maybe there was too much gravel at the shoreline, as a natural lake that size doesn't really have a beach like that with rocks and pebbles.

If you imagine it as an artificial lake, former 'gravel pit' maybe turned into nature reserve? It actually looks quite real. Certainly better than any of my first attempts!

I took a little break with the lotting projects, and extended (almost finished) NoirCity - CounterPoint highway system. This is not that monster than @Takingyouthere's Five Point Interchange, but I tried to do my best.

On the first picture is the modified version of my first interchange in this city tile. This is the North-South (right hand side is North) main highway. That was a real monster when I started to build almost 11 months ago. I started the build the smaller exits and inside ramps about a week ago, but I really didn't have any idea, what the hell I want to do with it.

2. We keep going towards South. The odd shape intersection (I really don't know the proper english terms on these things - well not even in hungarian ). 

Here comes the part what I made during the last 2 days. Huge thanks to the NAM Team, who let this happen, the flex and dragable MRCs, the DRI system (OK, I had to watch again some of @Ganaram Inukshuk's videos on youtube, the NWM-RHW transitions, my new favourites - but they are still Puzzle Pieces - the FAR Intersections.

Well, here the main highway's (I haven't given it a name yet) collector lanes make a turn, and we can see the old Main Rail Terminus's surrondings. This will be a huge commercial and office area.

3. Here is the main interchange. The North-South highway is leaving the city, and an other Eas-West highway just starts. Most of the day I build this monster. 

4. Bonus: The Main Station (the modified version of the Shinjuku Station East and West). That little elevated field will be a nice park and recreation area.

Well, after this little highway project, I'm going back to the lotting!

@Simmer2 This is very impressive. Is there any chance of a 'minimal' version with the edge of the lot being closer to the edge of the roundhouse? I do love your lots, but purely for reasons of flexibility; combining this with other rail lots  and networks (which are by nature rather on the large side for obvious reasons, realistic turns etc.) The smallest lot makes for the greater flexibility.

Please do not see this as a complaint in any way. I enjoy all your work and will download immediately (and probably without reading the description)

[Simmer2 23,831]

@MissVanleider When you see the total picture you will understand the reason behind the size of the lot once completed.

Shaving a couple of tiles will not really make a difference anyways, the roundhouse building is massive, for a reason

No way!  Those are too cool!  Are they automata?

[MeMyself&I 379]

@Simmer2 I'm dying to see that roundhouse released!  Every shot you show makes the anticipation more intense!!

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Refurbishing an old CBD of mine that I wasn't too happy with. There are still some slots to fill, but I think I'm on the right path.

[Simmer2 23,831]

Thank you!

dude, are you gonna release this so i can download it when your done? lol

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

@Simmer2Question,  What kind of hoppers are those? They don't look like any American Prototype I've seen?

Also now that Vester released his GEVO engines as props, why not have 2 or more locomotives on a train?

[Simmer2 23,831]

@DavidDHetzel The upper ones are quad tanks closed hoppers. They carry caustic powder chemicals. Quite common.

The lower section is a small parking yard, used to place wagons while the locomotives are being repaired.

@Simmer2 ah, must be a european thing. Most i've seen either have ribbed or curved sides like these two.

What can you find behind the highway ?

[Haljackey 17,385]

Dually turn lanes and a zig zag rail line

[Simmer2 23,831]

Thanks guys!

@Tyberius06 Thanks for the shout and that is some great work on your part as well. And not just the interchange either, that's quite the massive complex of rail lines and yards back there! It would be really cool to see a mosaic shot of it all once your finished.

A pond of course! 

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

@Simmer2: You're texture work is immaculate as usual. I'm kinda curious about the lot size of that monstrosity...

Here's another Costco with a makeshift tire center.  

A distribution center re-lot and a new SUPER distribution center.

 

[MissVanleider 1,851]

Diagonal building. They grow well, but i keep having to switch tilesets because the buildings these diagonals are based on are in a different one. I keep forgetting to switch between them and waste so much bulldozing and waiting for the right building to grow and then realising it has no chance, because i'm still in 'euro'!

[Tyberius06 12,253]

@MissVanleiderNice, very nice. What are these buildings? Not just the diagonals all of them from this picture

Thanks

Maaan, where were you when I started the IRM? *cries othogonally to the grid*

But seriously, not only are these great lots as usual, but I also like how you used ancient techniques - such as shoving two buildings together or adding Maxis storefront props - to great effect.

They also go to show how much the lot can contribute to the overall appearance because if we're frank, both Costco BATs do show their age. I even have the Costco distribution one on my IRM candidate list but have to admit that I pushed it further down because I thought the quality isn't quite up to the same standard as the other BATs I've been using. Now that I see it on your lot, I find myself thinking "Hey, it looks fine", and wondering if I even looked at the same BAT.
