More highway grade-separating and upgrade work

[MilitantRadical 2,844]

Tyberius06 fix my little problem, thanks Ty. Now I just need some of alejolopez13's cars. I'd love to see the old school Mercedes parked out front.

@MilitantRadical If you wanted to create the illusion of the road going onto that lot the Ty06 fixed, you can draw the road north of that intersection and then use the RHW disconnect tool to remove the road. I can post pictures if you want/need.

Pics would be good. I'm not sure what you mean. I didn't think the road not going onto the lot was a problem, but maybe it would look better.

The grid.

Since I made those new custom lots I've been working hard to fill in my CBD, however I think it is still going to take a lot of time to finish.

@alejolopez13 Maybe ask Girafe about the tree ? He hasn't been around for some time obviously - but possibly would give you some advice with that.

Underbridge MGB lots and powerline nicely placed !

Wakaramska reservoir !

Wakaramska hydro dam !

Rural coastal freeway, with some non Haljackey sollutions ! Diagonal ramps, with steep nearby terrainis quit a challenge. Farm on picture three only acesible by highway. Congestion nicely dealt with, excep the rather long west freeway detour out of town on picture five, maybe there´s room to turn the viaduct. Still working on it. Those curved ramps in picture four might profit of some slip lanes. Still some some special recreational and sport facilities would be nice to keep sims happy !

ok ... so when you have this situation where a network should continue but is not transit enabled... like this:

You do this ....

Step 1: Remove the lot and draw the road one tile north of the intersection:

 

Step 2: Goto the RHW menu, select the disconnect tool, hover over the road you just drew and click:

 

Step 3: Now re-plop your lot, and viola, you now have the illusion of a transit enabled lot, without it being transit enabled.

That's another way to build virtual connectors, but I've found a way to do it without the need of removing the lot. NAM pieces again.

First, let's build a virtual road connector. Check the El-Over-Road pieces and find the "T intersection 2". Place it on a way that the extra overhanging El tile looks at the opposite direction of the lot.

And then remove that extra El tile.

And that's all. The virtual connector is ready. You can remove the extra road tiles if you wish. You can even replace them with one-ways, avenues or streets. Do whatever you wish. Just don't bulldoze the connector itself.

Can we build a street virtual connector? Yes, we can. Choose the "El-Over-Street intersection 2" from the same menu and repeat.

And here is a nice example. Just remove the streets where you want to build the connectors and start the construction. And remember, we don't have to touch the lot itself (although we might have to touch some other lots).

Much better, right?

But how about one-ways and avenues? Can we build avenue and one-way virtual connectors? Right now I don't know. I have no idea how it can be, but maybe playing around with other NAM pieces will allow us to do it. That's another thing I like about NAM. It allows us not only to build more, but to experiment more as well.

Thanks for all the tips.

I solved my problem (almost) all by myself !!!

And here's the last batch of evergreens : Jenx trees (I also did the willow tree but as I was experimenting with it it is on its own in another .dat ; I will certainly consolidate all my eveergreens.

[Krasner 1,062]

@alejolopez13 I wonder how you could use these car park lots or if you even plan to - but having oil stains on parking lots would be a great little detail surprinsingly no one seem to have thought about before

Wow, my hometown! I can't waiting to see.

(oh, the look of the light --desaturated a bit, yes ? I don't know why but it feels very South-American to me, hot weather, not bright-sunny, just urban hot.)

OK, I managed to upload my evergreen trees, despite the STEX' hiccups (sigh).

Hi everyone!

Well if I start a project usually I coundn't stop myself and doing bigger sets with more variety (Ok, there are exceptions, like the shell service station, but that was a little come back work).
So recently I got involved in multiple projects, as you may know, besides my general LOTting stuffs. You can read about these other SC4 related projects in the following thread. It could be interesting past, current and future Custom Content developers too, because I'm hoping in a little discussion about some kind of unified/universal approach in that matter. But details on the link. So this is two-ish project, what I'm working on. 

Than I jumped over a bit the Railway Terminus Project, and started to make GLR stations and Terminuses. They are coming along really nicely, so I show them on pictures. They still need some love, but soon...

1. 2 larger pass through stations, I call them Brian Station 2x and 3x (because they were made for helping out @b22rian who is building a nice little GLR network currently). There are 4 terminuses (3 of them are using @art128's wonderfull station models - let's hope he come back to make more BATs one day!) and the fourth one is @Nilo7's Greenbelt station relot-ish. Also the set will contain 2 filler pieces, one with a cross-over-switch, and one with zebra crossings. Apart from the static building props (and catenaries), the other props are "moving", I mean timed props (and the next update of the Heretic Essentials will contain some of them expanding the set, also the cobblestone base texture will be there). Please note, that the brownish GLR textures are made by @rsc204 and came from his Sandstone Euro NAM or Sidewalk NAM Mod (the later one is unreleased atm, as I know). The tram and catenary props were made by @Simmer2 and can be found in  his first prop pack (until he would release his MegaProp pack soon), some of the fences came from also on of his Prop Packs, and the transparent roofed bus shelter and the fence on the second terminus from the top can be found in his Rutger Haur station upload, but those probably will end up in the upcoming MegaProp Pack too. Some of the street art props and other bus shelter props were by @Reddonquixote and can be found in his HD Prop Pack. Zebra crossing textues on the GLR tracks are custom made but they were based on @kingofsimcity's SuperSHK Megatexture pack, I used the overlays as samples from that set. Also the original split tracks came from Ebina who made the override textures for @cogeo 's suburban tram stations.

2. L1 ERRW terminus and GLR Terminus Transfer Hub. 

Soon more stations are coming...
