Oooo looks good. I was playing GTA:O and drove by that building today (in-game it's a Leopolds, a knockoff of Saks and Neiman) and thought "I need that in SC4"  Well then...

If you use it in the suburbs, it might just fit the atmosphere!

[Dreadnought 8,231]

Yo, guys --

I took a break from Wilhelmshaven South, this week.   I built so much stuff there, that the power supply was running out.  I didn't want to build a power plant in the city so my only option was to go next door.  Two neighboring tiles were tapped out -- so the only remaining tile (a medium) was Wittmund. 

Usually, I choose a small map tile for the power plant that supplies power to a large map tile.  Since it's only a small tile, I do minimum building and landscaping.  Just a quick power plant and small village with the bare necessities.  With Wittmund being a medium tile, I just couldn't bring myself to leave it "naked", so to speak.  Consequently, I've spent most of a week building and landscaping so that it will be a presentable map tile.

This is an overview of most of the tile.  (The actual village, when built, will be in the upper right corner.)  I enlarged the river sufficiently to provide an adequate water supply for the reactor's cooling towers, then laid out a massive facility.  To avoid having to build another one any time soon, this one will supply 165K KWH.  In the upper left you see the water pumping station and a fire station to service the facility. Closer in there is a police station across the road from the plant.  There are two reactors with their associated out-buildings, parking, a security checkpoint at the entrance, and a railyard to bring in the heavy equipment and remove the inevitable waste byproducts.  

 

The water intakes on the river are from Somy's Fukishima Plant, while the reactors and outbuildings are (I believe) from Paeng.  The security checkpoint is from the old PEG "SNM" series of military bases.  The fire station is a pretty little one from @mattb325 -- and his very nice Police Station, as well.  The pumping station is made up from my collection of custom made filler lots.  The water holding basins inside the plant belong to SM2.  The security fence that surrounds the whole thing is my custom lotting.  (Thank you to all you "batters" out there that have supplied me with the nuts & bolts!)  Here you have day and night.

 

Behold, Craggy Point Island.  This stands in mid-river just off the plant's intake pipes.  I couldn't resist making an island -- I enjoy tinkering with them.  Note the wide range of heights -- some high and some low, and there is a washed-out "saddle" feature in the middle.  I've provided a close-up of that area to give you a good idea of the multitude of MMP work, the variety, and the blending.  Very labor-intensive -- but if you're going to do it, do it well!

I am still trying to create a BAT. I left the old one aside a little and did this (it's a sketch). I'm taking suggestions. 

[matias93 7,535]

@Vitoraju the massing is simply perfect, but the textures could use some more work, specially to weathering them, which is not that easy. Try looking for similar colours on existing buildings on the game and using noisy textures.

Finally, after a long struggle with some graphical glitches and an insanely long time to write readmes and properly adjust the modding, my next relotting project, a 6-in-1 set of Italian-style old town houses, is available. Hope you like it.

It had been a while since I last played this game (2011!) and finally returning, I decided to give building a city and suburb a try. Just a simple test city before I do anything serious (that's a W.I.P.). It's surprisingly easier than I remembered. I got it to 60,000 in no time. So I figured why not create a mass-planned suburb? Well. It took a while but it was worth it:

Interesting results. One thing I learned is to probably let neighborhoods grow one at a time. Because otherwise it becomes a hell of a task to get only certain homes to grow and bulldoze others. But I'm happy and can't wait to do this with my more serious projects.

Also I would've added some trees and more flora but I have to do that manually because no tree controllers offer what I want. Would be so taxing for just a test, but I'm sure it'd look even better.

Hi guys. I'm back. (I was not playing SimCity 4 since 2016, and until now I recovered my account). I just finished this park. I call it King Samuel Urban Garden, near to the CBD of my city, modern residential skyscrapers and a modern University campus.

Seems like you will be getting another Italian-style plugin, this time some W2W apartments perfectly fitted for dense urban quarters. Hope you like it.

I continue construction on Santana Island in the B-07-10 city.





Details will be added to my CJ - SANTANA ISLAND - Traditions die hard - CJ .

Health to you all

Currently working on a series of rural depot. got this idea from CB and Cori, (so there is Easter eggs that might not easily be seen)and there were still some flaws on texture and light due to less of reference. Anyway, I will fix them when inspiration flies back to nest.

@Cyclone Boom @mrbisonm @hugues aroux

@Terring Unfortunately, I messed up the Batman and his light, But made some progress with two SimMars buildings.

Sincerely,

Very nice and cozy train station And I can't wait for the SimMars buildings

Yo, guys --

I know there must be a MOD to get rid of these pesky little blighters -- but I can't remember What it is or WHERE to find it.  Can someone kindly point me in the right direction?

THANX MUCH --

I think that the trees appear, because you have a T21 mod installed by Sithlrd98 that adds them. Search for "zzzSithlrd98 Wide Radius Curves Curves T21 Data .dat" in your Plugins folder and remove it to get rid of them. Bear in mind that one file covers road and ave WRCs, so removing it will affect all such pieces.

     A wild reservoir appears!!     

 

Presenting...

֍ LAKE BLACK ֎

KIMOZU FREE TRADE ZONE

 

Given the massive impervious surface created by the Kingdom of Rota International Airport, runoff mitigation has become a big necessity in the area! All of the particulate matter and small fluid spills from aircraft do add up and can harm the natural environment downstream, along the Balfour River (north and east, outside city district).

 

 

For this purpose, a new reservoir with a carefully selected mix of wetland and aquatic plants for bioremediation was adopted. Concentrations of pollutants are carefully monitored throughout the lake's 10.71 million cubic meters / 8,688 acre-ft of storage volume and 57.5 meters of depth.

 

 

The purified water is fit for agricultural irrigation use and is sent through an irrigation canal system to the recently expanded farmlands in Zamacentia, located to the east (left side of view):

Dear Ryan, though i have replied you with PM, I still need to say It's really… kind of you to say so, I couldn't make it without inspiration from your Makin' Mattresses, Yes I made some progress in modeling recently, but as you know, I'm not an artist, especially colour, all of them just came from Pinterest, Furthermore, I was afraid to use green before, Until that day, when I saw your great Lot, Hey, it's maybe not that hard, so Thank you my friend for helping me and gave me tips on this work.

Yours Sincerely,

-- Raymond

I'm done with the plugin: scoty modular parking, with this last piece. +400 textures, 336 Lots. I assembled everything, wrote a notice ... Then one or two more checks and I would publish. If you want to be a beta tester, or just take a quick look like that ;-), PM me.

Making the geometry and textures of an automata is not as complicated as I thought..

[JojiTX 765]

I'm still experimenting with mass planned communties -

Created my own gated entrance as an aesthetic with the Lot Editor. Seems to function fine. No TE-related commute issues. I plan on making a much more realistic style gated entrance now that I know how to do it. I can't wait to take this further.

I should also make the gated entrance a little further from the houses and create a fence that borders the houses.
