I dunno why but I've always had a thing for golf courses and oil silos in SC4. Nice work!

 

Zoning...

[Simmer2 23,831]

@nos.17 Done.

Thank you everyone!!

Here are 2 new types of tanks, both extensively used in Europe. (thus the temp themed holding lot I made for them)
Nothing is final.

@Krasner I think your bats would fit perfectly in my city!

Can't wait to see more!

At grade RHW for now, but room allocated for future upgrades

Also double left turn meets the standard NAM turning lane intersection. Yes, it configures and works!

I'm working in that historic centre in my city:

 

Well, I never worked with a Paris pieces before, so maybe I make something wrong. Anyway.

WORK IN PROGRESS --

THE JADE BIGHT II

WILHELMSHAVEN WEST:

(Click to make bigger.)

Yo, guys --

Nothing too fancy for today -- still working with corals -- and my new city has a lot of ocean frontage.

This is a small neighborhood of mixed use -- some mixed residential and mostly civic buildings.  Here you have the Helsinki circular bank building.  I trimmed it out with park paths, parking lots, and some filler lots -- all topped off with some MMP work.

 

Just north of that, you will find the Alte Bibliotek with adjacent park space nestled along the shore of a medium sized lake.  Lots of work with filler lots, pedmalls, and MMP's.

 

Just across the street, you can see the Trowbridge Center on the left, and Mttb325's fine Civic Office Complex on the right.  I tied it together with Paeng's diagonal parking, some pedmalls, and the ubiquitous park paths.

 

Up on the north edge of town, just below the BodenMarsche, the town fathers decided on a new stadium complex complete with an adjacent hotel.  The stadium is bordered with park paths and a few custom lots for bus parking -- and finished off with MMP's.

 

@Diego Del Llano

Here is a night shot of "DiegoDL's" lovely Carlton Hotel.  He has been doing some beautiful work on buildings, and his night lighting is superb.  I trimmed this out with parking lots, park paths, and MMP stuff.  We are very lucky to have these fine models from Diego -- and fortunately for us -- he is PROLIFIC !  You are going to be seeing a lot of his great stuff in my cities.

Bus hub ready for development

[VALASatoshi 1,130]

Experimenting with these two concepts, what do you guys think?

[feyss 1,981]

@Dgmc2013 Nice pictures! If I may give you some advices, you should use the Euro roads from the NAM and some SAM paved streets and it would be perfect!

@scotttbarry Interesting concept! That's perfect for a dense Asian city!

[Haljackey 17,398]

Ready to press play

Fringes of a small city.

[Simmer2 23,831]

Thank you guys!!

Phew! These took a while to complete but I'm happy with the results.
Most of this round of props is Europe and Australia oriented.

In this set of pics you will see 4 new tanker cars (in addition to the 8 I already released) and 6 new oil tanks.
The list of labels I have covered so far is as follows:

*Aral
*VTG
*Wascosa
*Euroil
*Gulf
*Mobil
*Pioneer Energy
*Petroplus
*Vopak

Here are some pics showcasing the new items.

Yeah, the SAM streets makes a difference in this type of area, after your recomendation, I think used the SAM streets and the NAM roads to combine. I appreciate your advice!

Well, I have plop all the buildings, but I understand your point. Indeed have a blanks spaces, but as I say, I never used that pieces. Anyway, your comment is good, and I will try make a little changes for fill this spaces. Thanks!

@feyss thank you! It's inspired by San Diego and Santa Monica 

[Simmer2 23,831]

Here is my progress so far. This is just a test lot!
I have a plan in mind and I will reveal it at the proper time.

[Fantozzi 4,068]

@Simmer2 - you're doing great again. The car filling looks very realistic. If you go on this way - industries won't be anymore the 'dirty part' of the game you put on the corners of your city tile - but the most spectacular you want to put in the center. Even better: to create largr petrochemistry areas covering most of the tile will become possible. I'm looking forward to play with these. Thanks in advance.

 

Strangely the european trucks look slightly overscaled to me compared to the train cars (while the american - in the post before - don't). It's because of the different cabin or just me?

 

Also, from the picture - the Wiscosa train cars seems a little bit too much violet and to bright compared to the Aral ones - aren't they a dark blue? But I never saw a real one (only pictures) - so I can't really judge.

 

[Simmer2 23,831]

@Fantozzi Due to the higher cabin it does look a bit bigger. In your defense, in order to compensate for the bigger cabin perspective, I did increase the size of the trailer tank by 10%.

Tons of items were made either over scale or under scale in SC4. Where do you stop and where do you start. Furthermore, sometimes you have to make objects a tiny bit bigger in order to have more details when rendering. Case in point, people in game are 3m on average. (I checked it out). I usually start with real life measurement when making props and then use existing textures (example, rail and roads) in order to make the props fit. Oh and by the way, that last picture you posted has a very skewed perspective.

I will look at the Wiscosa car base color a bit closer. On my screen it looked right.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi everyone!

I'm a bit under motivated right now with lotting, so just enjoy playing in my cities, and anyway I'm waiting for @Simmer2 new props and some new NSB overlays and @Angry Mozart's rail props. And I was traveling in Spain the first 2 weeks of June, so I was a bit away from SimCity anyway.

But here is some picture about my latest city. More or less in every new citytile I try to use different residental and commercial buildings, we have God knows how many very nice plugins over at the exchanges and I want to try my collection to see, how they look like.

NoirCity - Suburbiana is rather kind of US style, I started to use JBSimio's, Marcszar's, the BSP/mipro Team and mattb325's beautiful creations with DiegoDL's and APTX's larger commercial BATs. And of course I can repeat myself, that in my cities the realism hasn't got any priority, I use and put the building/road/highway network as I like at that moment...

1. An early state of development. First I tried to draw the main highway and rail line system (well, don't get confused with the random appearing rail tracks, they are mosly markers for the canal system).

2. More or less the current state. 

3. The central district of the city with the 2 big railway station and the bus terminal
