Region I've been working on for a while now.

Lets take this up a notch.

HSR stations are awesome and due to the nature of the trains, stations must be designed to be very long.

I manage to adapt the concept to SC4 but at a hefty 20 tile long! @Eggman121 is tha man!!

IT'S AWESOME!

It simply looks perfect, with the precise amount of modern look to appear as cutting-edge technology but without losing realism or becoming alien to normal cities.

[Krasner 1,062]

@Simmer2 It looks very similar to any secondary station I know, built along special high-speed-rail lines. Nothing but platforms, and side tracks to allow the direct trains to outstrip the other ones. You came to the essential

Airport looks outstanding in design, realistic. Hope to see some more, well done !

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

Some more overall generic park stuff (with some twists here and there):

Also did some tweaks to the tennis center.

[Simmer2 23,830]

Thank you.

Going back to the "Muro Secco" (Dry Walls) project, this is what I have got so far....

[SC4L0ver 394]

@Simmer2 Really cool HSR station and muro secco walls! Are those train props in the pic going to be released as well? Looking forward to see them in the STEX! 

@kingofsimcity Wonderful parks!! You really made a great job with your custom textures and the right choice of flora. Keep up the good work!

Ninth Update (Bay Area Airport) I haven't been doing much of anything lately (except sleeping for 20 hours a day) so this is all I have for now. I will probably make changes to this in the future.

I think you need some garbage management lots.

[The British Sausage 5,449]

Simmer2: they look like stone walls in the Pennines.

 

Call them Pennines stone walls.

I have a big hole I dug in the middle of downtown where I keep most of the trash.

Terminals very nice setup ! Taxiway and Runway recomend the RMIP 2 Small airport edtiton 01 and 2, 3, 4

Watch this video how to construct a runway !

 

Real lenght runway might be extended twice aswell as a aligned taxiway !

Sincerely yours,

@kingofsimcity : the first 4x4 (left, first pic) is too cute !!!

@Simmer2 : ooooh ! PERFECT ! I wanted walls like that !!! They won't work only for pastures, you know ! (I assume they can be used with other gates, like, for cemeteries, churches and even (old) parks, right ?)

[Simmer2 23,830]

@tariely My gates are built in the model itself. But you can use my props for whatever purpose you deem suitable once I release them.

@The British Sausage I think I will stick with the Italian name for them, "Muro Secco" (all props in this collection are named as such) .Verbatim translation is "Dry Stone Wall" But for the sake of the English speaking crowd I will release them as SM2 Dry Stone Walls

@SC4L0ver I don't think I will release the High Speed Train you see on the HSR pics. I made it while eating cereal a few months ago (its rough around the edges) and I use it as a place holder when making HSR content for the NAM.

The Dry Stone Wall collection has now ballooned to 18 pieces including the ancient stone house, the pig pen and the very old stone watch tower. Lots of diagonals as well.

Got a few more to make and then its launch time. Here are a few pics showing some of the new stuff.

Parks getting fancier is cool and all but... desolation?

[jaredh 195]

Any park like that with the baseball diamonds would have lots of lights.

 

I've never seen one with a soccer field like that.  A real baseball complex would be cool (like the ones seen all over the US)...the ones where 4 fields all merge together facing away from each other.

[kingofsimcity 5,740]

@jaredh: I totally forgot about the lights for this one. 

These kind of community sports fields are actually pretty common where I'm from. The parks often have a vast open field with opposing baseball/softball diamonds (granted, most informal sports parks just have a pack of swirly dirt as the "diamond"). The open areas in the middle are then usually painted with lines for soccer/football etc., sometimes with plenty of room to spare for multiple ones. For example:

As for a real sports park, I think the closest one I have is a merged 3 field one (it's part of my regional park pack)

Thinking about starting a new CJ after 10 years of absence. Kind of world recreation in one region with the most prominent cities included. Here's the first one - not quiet finished yet, but I can't help showing it off

Have you consider building some fields based of the ones in NYC? There's several multipurpose stadiums for rec league and High School Sports that would look cool in game. What makes them stand out though is the use older style AstroTurf that gives off a distinct aqua color.

OK, now I'm hopped up on Transit Enabling. Finished my relot of the Grand Union Railway Station. Different from the Manuelito relot (if you're curious, go see) , and lit up the wazoo.

[Simmer2 23,830]

@tariely Im glad my texture fix worked for ya!

 

Well, the SM2 Dry Stone Walls (Muro Secco) collection is almost done. One more very special piece and its complete.

It also comes with 2 MMP files to complement the set. You may need it for those little extra touches that makes all the difference

This set focuses on diagonals thus the extra count on those pieces.

Here are some pics.

[The British Sausage 5,449]

Are these pieces slope-friendly?

Nope. I tried and the results were really bad. I'm trying to keep the geometry of the wall and when I attempted to make a flex piece it wasn't game worthy.

Due to the square design of the highway walls I made, making a slope conforming was easy and it fit with the geometry.

However (it was going to be a surprise), there is one special piece I'm making for a smooth 7.5 meter transition......

The Grand Union Station is magnificent !!  Your attention to detailing is truly impressive.

If only I knew that MMP was that much time consuming...
