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.

Given its reliance on all big guns, doesn't this make it a proper dreadnought? I agree about the other two classes, though - rather good-looking ships, especially in their original configuration (heck, even those impossible Japanese long-neck dinosaurs used to look good in their WW1 and 1920's fit...)

On a slightly more on-topic note, that's a great looking marina you got there! Some creative detail solutions, too - at least I don't recall ever seeing those NY-style W2W fast food joints being used as standalone buildings like in your picture, but it sure works!

@Goldman Sachs: At this rate, you should have covered every warship of WW1 and WW2 in a few months, with a host of tanks to accompany them.  Beautiful models, absolutely stunning! If these were physical models, I'd say museum quality for sure!

Any chance for a classic ocean liner such as Mauretania, Bremen, France or - one of the best-looking ocean liners IMO - Normandie? Imagine the sight of a Manhattan recreation in SimCity with one of those beauties making its way up the Hudson River...

@The British Sausage: Thank you very much, but that would be a title I'd have to share with many people indeed.  The very lots by nos.17 that inspired me, for example, are fabulous. Or have you seen KOSC's Maxis mansion re-lots? Now that's ace stuff. I slightly adapted them for my personal use, and I spent half the time sitting there slack-jawed and admiring all that superb lot work that went into them - better than I could ever do!

@thecitiescenter: Thanks to you as well! Despite all the lotting work I've done in my SC4 career, it never ceases to amaze me how much all those props and textures that we have at our disposal nowadays can improve the overall appearance of a lot. Many old BATs are so good, but at the time they were made, there were just not the resources to make them shine as much as they could.

@WolfZe I really like this one!  I was planning to eventually make a map of Minsk for release onto the STEX.  Looks like I will have to move it up the priority list because these would look great on a map like that!

Sad truth, that there are so few "official" "just" lotters/relotters nowadays, who are releasing new stuffs, that most of the beautiful new props stays hidden usually. I'm glad that @art128 has been taking over managing the Prop and Texture catalogue over at SC4D, and when I have time I'm gonna update the @STEX Custodian Catalogue here as well. I think it's gonna be helpful for new and old users to see what kind of new beautiful stuffs are out there from multiple packs.

@T Wrecks Nice work on that old BAT.

Just a comment on your versatility, though KOSC is definitely high quality and prolific.

@T Wrecks

Thank you for the kind words ! 

The fast food restaurants are fully functional -- all of them connected to streets or subway stops by PedMall pieces and TE-enabled stairways (of yours) !! 

AND -- YES -- In my haste, I made a beginner's boo-boo.  The USS Arkansas is, indeed, classed as an actual dreadnought battleship -- slow, as was the custom in the US Navy -- but heavily armed and armored.

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!

Nices Maybe you could add a Safeway with the Fuel Stations that @RRetail did

Recently, gutterclub has been posting pics of abandoned bats over in the 'Ones that never made it up your STEX' thread. A quite liked a few of them: here is one....

 

[IDS2 3,429]

Excellent choice! I always particularly liked that one as well, and it's great to see it get a second life 

[art128 4,622]

@mattb325 That's a very good replica.

[gutterclub 2,729]

How good! Awesome work mate, thats great!

Hi Carlos and Schriefer, I just saw it from Pinterest, Is there really such a bus stop in Brazil? It's so interesting, I don't have enough pictures about it, This is my best effort.

That's Curitiba BRT (Bus Rapid Transit). 

[Terring 6,476]

That's a cool looking bus stop

You don't asked me, but yes, is similar the stations of Curitiba's BRT system.

Aye, I will make it, Carlos, and also I have seen many interesting bus stations in Brazil as well, even a football goal style station, You knew football is my favorite, so I will try my best to do it and inform you when finished.

Actually, I just wanted to make that ANT-AM, never thought someone like those stations, I would say it's all because of your thoughts.

@Raymond7cn I'm happy you intend to make them. Once I even started to model a BRT station from Rio, but it was kinda demotivating because in SC4 cameras it was possible to only see their roof

Great modeling! Regarding the images, what exactly are you needing help with?
