Last pics.

Fixed a few things and also added new proprietary Borden's tractor trailers and a few lights on the parking lots.

Also added some smoke effects!

I made the structures in 3 sections, the processing building, the packaging plant and the bridge. I designed them this way so that the buildings can be used separately to create smaller lots. I also omitted to make built in signs, again this was so they can be use to make different kinds of industrial lots.

Wanted unified sidewalk texture, some variety and personal touch on @Bipin's concrete walls  if only I had time and technical know-how to put some graffiti on them.  Happy with the result though, and it's thanks to @rsc204.  Couldn't figure out how to get rid of the original base texture until I came across a reply of yours about how to do in Reader When I seek out answers and see you have replied in a thread, I know I'm in good hands

@Simmer2 you can't have a Borden's without Elsie

My Olympic park, taking forever to build.

Emerald Ville North & South !

Emerald Ville with exception of the western part conscist of parts. North Emerald Ville complete with highway 2, South Emerald Ville with the Mayon Bay Park to Mont Real railway ! As these pictures show a freeway town only the center will have any industrial or commercial ventures. Outside there will be a combination of agriculture, water related  and little villages !

Emerald Ville road network will be a little diamond design !

Central Parkway features to roundabout´s with FLUP underpass !

Southern Interchange  nothing special !

Northern roundabout got some more to show off to avoid too much traffic hickups !

Enjoy !

It still needs a bit of work, but what you think about this hill-climbing railway?

If I did the maths right, it climbs about 300 metres, and as you see on the image, it spans a full big tile's length, with lots of curves.

You will probably need to click on the image to even see the tracks, as the colours aren't really contrasted enough.

Wanted to do some elevated networks in a downtown area and was tired of having grass under the transport networks, so I lotted a bunch of overhanging lots  parking ones still WIP

Here you go, by popular demand....the Borden cow Elsie.

Update on the ongoing redesign of the Waterfront District in Downtown Vancouver.  The Waterfront District is anchored by Waterfront Station and the city's Central Bus Terminal which has been moved over to Main Street near the station.  The bus terminal has been substantially expanded and now has 19 bays instead of 6.  A new and improved Main Street Greenway is also beginning to take shape on the east side of Main.  I'm also adding a bit more of a modern aesthetic with more glass and steel then usual.

 

 

 

How did you put a fountain and plaza ontop of a FLUP?

I didn't, it just doesn't function, eye candy more then anything.  Really wish there was a FLUP piece that could be easily re lotted for custom parks and stuff.  Until then I just have to deal with a break in the street.

Something like this, you mean?

I guess those could be modified to match your needs...

I'm working on maybe breaking the game . . .

Check out the line count on this RUL2 file . . .

And the number it does on the NAM Controller size . . .

For comparison, the NAM Controller for NAM 36 was 103MB.

@scotttbarry, that is some seriously impressive infrastructure there--nice work!

Wow, that looks risky!

Been working on modding automatas with great results.

It's an idea I have, is it possible to pack these two buildings together?

a 4x8 4x9 or so

Conde Nast Building (4 Times Square)
Bank of America Tower

Once you cross the 65,535 barrier, it probably won't break until 2.4 billion....but they obviously could have used some unusual break in the HEX between those major breakpoints.

Finally decided to get familiar with the basics of GoFSH and wow I can't believe I haven't started using it earlier - @rivit and @rsc204, you both are legend's. @kingofsimcity's script's for SuperSHK and Mega Paths are incredible.  Was able to use the DAT-FSH tool to extract Sudden Valley's texture and use it to replace the grass (similar to what the option in @rsc204's TGN mod did).

I actually have a few projects going on now, first and shown with the crappy picture is creating a bunch of new Concrete Retaining walls borrowing the prop from Bipin's work.  Planning to do parking and completely redoing the parks/plaza's ones that have been in some of my previous pictures. 

Learning some GoFSH basics lead me to also begin editing Paeng's Bicycle Path's Textures.  Lastly,  I started on editing the BMP's for CP's SCILT to create a new one featuring a texture from Catalyst's Asphalt Sidewalk Extension Mod (pictured below) but I'm not sure that doing this will simply create an override or would it be possible to use both the Super Light Asphalt SCILT and a custom one using this texture? I wanted to blend SLA with custom lots using Catalyst's texture.

Anyways, hopefully it will all come together nicely enough that I can release some of the work.  I'd probably need some second, better eyes to look at the modding aspect. If I understand correctly, at least the Concrete Walls with Parking lots would be interchangeable/not conflict with other people's textures set up for SuperSHK.

OK a new update on Bay City. Just been working on the airport and the business park, and did a bit of work on the marina. Still a lot of work to do. Been busy working on a new map which

keeps me busy.

 

 

[VALASatoshi 1,130]

Sorry for posting so much but these are a much better representation of what I'm trying to accomplish on a uniform basis all the way to the retaining walls 

[matias93 7,535]

@scotttbarry definitely gorgeous!! If you think you are posting too much, you could instead make a development thread, even more if you plan to release some of those fantastic things (please do so!)

About the SCILT textures, I'm sure that @rsc204 had the scripts for replacing them with custom textures, so that could save you a ton of manual work. I have those files too, but is his work, so I prefer to respect that.

By default you'd create an override for the original mod. That way any lots using CP's textures would show the sidewalks according to your customisations. I would caution you that there isn't a whole lot of content that actually uses these textures right now. As such sans custom lotting, they are of limited use IMHO, which is a shame because the idea is a good one.

I've ready to go scripts/repositories for much more than what I've been able to release. That includes everything to generate a custom SCILT pack. If you want a copy, just send me a PM and I'll pass it along. Similarly, I may be able to help with further steps towards unification if needed.

In the case of repositories like these, I'm happy for them to be redistributed frankly. Since it's taking me much longer than I'd like to organise all of this from my side.

[VALASatoshi 1,130]

@rsc204 Awesome! Just sent you a message

@matias93 thank you! I was thinking the same thing as I would love to get something up on the STEX/Devotion

@monkeywater these are Bipin Concrete walls uploaded on his behalf to the STEX by @Belfastsocrates, however I’m using the prop included in that download on lots I’ve made and modified with the reader to make them slope compatible

Going forward with the project...
