That trail work looks pretty good -- getting the visual angles just right is the key.

I use the gridlines to build paths which hug contours and I use the actual mountain ridges to create ascent paths. The grid lines also help with adding S-bends to paths when it gets steeper, often a path will go straight up but I chose irregular s-bends to indicate steeper areas. Though the final product isn't what you see here- I've now added additional bushes, scrub areas, erratics and scree slopes (my work for today). The final touch will be to add some Sims and a sprinkle of flowers...

African industries (dirty-$), houses (1x2, 1x3, 5x5) and football field and small stadiums (6 together right now)

Amazing! Very interesting this industrial area, I have never seen a similar one here.

They look better with more details now, next I'm going to add some night lights.

@thecitiescenter Hi Steve, your map is awsome , please tell me if you plan to release it.

Whoa that's like Back 2 the Future II meets the Matrix and TRON at the same time!  Looks great!

 

And yes I plan to release the map

WolfZe, the flame (and everything else) is looking excellent 

 

I finally got around to doing a night scene. This one is almost done!

Woah this is one of my favorite buildings in New York, very nice.

[11241036 5,115]

I'm again going through the Italian Collection by simcity4ever88, this time in an attempt to relot some of his old town houses. As you can see, there's much to do, so even though I'm having some spare time now due to certain circumstances, this will take a while. Hope you like it.

 

While I'm at it: I've discovered a graphical issue affecting two props in the last picture. At this zoom level (and most others), everything looks OK, but if you zoom out one step, this is happening:

My question to the people capable of graphics-editing: Is there anything I can do about this? I have no clue about editing graphics at all, and you should also consider that it should be possible to release these two lots without breaking forum rules. (The other lots would be just relots, thus, as far as I know, it should be alright to share them.)

[matias93 7,535]

@11241036 it should be possible to replace the damaged FSH images with re-scaled images from the other zoom levels, but the results won't be perfect, because all the zoom levels have slightly different vision angles, as @rivit once demonstrated.

Nice job!  Obviously large apartment blocks have gone out of style for new construction in the real world but I would love to lot this with palm trees and my lush south Florida greenery!

[The British Sausage 5,449]

Wolfze- That pre-fab block is beautifully Soviet! Keep it up!

mitsos: Gonna have to check out that CJ of yours, like the landscape work and the lack of roads!

 

Moar paths and trails, this was taken before I added the rocks and extra bushes. Still need to add some walkers and bikers...

I just made my first lot using diagonal parking lot textures... amidoinitrite?

I know it's not as great as some of the lots I have seen, but for a first attempt, I'm pretty satisfied. Massive shout-out to @shokthrpy and @kingofsimcity for the superb parking stuff, @CycleDogg for the diagonal cars, and of course @Bobbo662 for the BAT. I love retro stuff!

The old Arkansas is lookin' good -- a fine example of a US pre-dreadnought !!        (three thumbs up!)

Have you tried any of the "New Mexico" or "Colorado" Class ships??  Very graceful vessels.

[nos.17 5,256]

@T Wrecks ... Looks awesome!

Is that another model of this? Always fun to find new B62 models floating around.

Budapest Keleti Station has landed !

Landmarks some are some need to arrive yet ! Vienna had it´s Peter kirche wich was released last year september. Today I can replace the Paris Gare dÓrsay with it´s right full historic correct counterpart. Budapest Keleti Station by Debusyman !

Debusyman Gare dÓrsay has four pair of tracks so much broughter line of track posible suburban, Keleti more long distance orientated less tracks aren´t a great difficultie allthough one has work tighly to make room for all !

Enjoy !

Yo, guys --

More pics of the Wilhelmshaven South yacht basins. 

Just for the record -- I designed this "Manhattan" style island to be mostly surrounded by marinas and went out of my way to make modifications to many of the existing marina sets to give them some variety.

This is the Upper basin -- which used to be the old fishing village before the modern city crowded it out.  The old piers were given a face lift, and the small hill where most of the fishermen lived was enclosed by seawall embankments and turned into a shopping complex.

 

This basin is frequented by the "well-to-do" -- extravagantly large cabin cruisers, the occasional ketch and bigger yachts, and the "classic" motor cruisers from the 30's and 40's.  The place has all the amenities -- but if fast food is not for you, there is always the level above the basin.

 

On the upper level, you find the "Leda" shopping complex with elegant shops on the ground floor and expensive apartments on the upper floors.  For those that enjoy living the "harbor life".  For seriously good food you can take a table at the "Hotel Kranzler" -- ground floor devoted to the pub and upper floors for guests -- anything from Five Star dining to a beer and a schnitzel.

Wait... wait. Holy crud, it sure does look like you got a completely different version there! I guess the one you relotted is more recent. The HVACs are more finely textured, the light leaks at night have been fixed, and the Safeway logo and label are more closely matched to their real-life counterparts. Even the freestanding Safeway sign is different!

I must confess that what you see on my picture isn't entirely stock either - I did add a texture override to tone down the highlights and also took out a few notches of green to shift the overall colout hue closer to the game's palette. However, since all this is just an override, I can remove it any time and revert back to original.

Another modification I can't take back now is that I nudged the building a few metres to the side because it didn't sit centered in its LOD shell. By default, a 5 tile wide lot (the one I've shown is a 5 by 6) would not have been possible - the building box would've fit into the lot, but the building would have extended beyond the East edge. However, I do have both versions of the model still. If you're interested, just drop me a PM and I'll be happy to send it your way.

By the way, I should mention that you have been my inspiration to dig out a few of Bobbo662's old BATs and see what I can do with them. You drew my attention to many good BATs I didn't know anything about (especially in the Service Station Mega Pack), and you also motivated me to take a second look at some that I had discarded originally because they were too bright/saturated IMO and see if I coud do something with them. I also stole got a lot of inspiration from many of your lotting ideas.

EDIT

My file is called "B62 1960s Safeway Retro v 1.3.0-0x5ad0e817_0xf00f7c4_0x1fc0000.SC4Model" and dates from August 22, 2005.

EDIT 2

Oh yes, my theory confirmed - I just downloaded your re-lot, and your building file is "b62 1960s Safeway Retro v 2.0-0x5ad0e817_0xb2a42fa9_0x30000.SC4Model" from January 2, 2007.

This is exciting news!

Nope. You're free to do as you wish. I've pretty much finished my chapter of B62 content. Looking back through my records, the collection that I have put together on the STEX was pieced together with files from at least 6 people (myself included). I'm not surprised at all that there are more things floating around that I don't know about. You could be a 7th?

If I haven't already uploaded a relot with a specific model, consider it yours to do as you please.

Yep, that seemed to be a recurring issue. There's a handful that I can think of off the top of my head: Circuit City, Culver's, Kmart... As I mentioned, I haven't already uploaded a relot with a specific model, consider it yours to do as you please. If you think it would just be better for whatever reason to uploaded the modified model, go for it.

I'd love to keep posted on your progress. I'm not around here everyday like i used to, but I still like to check in.

Wow that looks NICE!! Ive never seen a relot breathe so much new life into an old building.
