Some Trenton NJ inspired prewar rowhomes. Will do some recolors and finishings, these are FA2/ortho versions. May rework the model of the FA version to be more wtw if I can get the LOD right (still struggling with that)

They sit on a 2x1 lot due to real life sizes

I'd love to model some more in this style if anybody has requests or suggestions

@Sloppyjoemess What sort of ideas would you like and what is the best way or place to make suggestions (since I don't want to derail the thread)? From my architectural studies, I have quite a few longstanding ideas for townhouses and rowhouses (including both orthogonal and real-life diagonals/fractional angles) from my hometown in Richmond, Virginia and next-city-over Washington, D.C. If desired, I can try to get you photos, measured footprints, etc.

If desired, I can try to get you photos, measured footprints, etc.

I've been trying to fill the void of diagonal and fractionally angled content for quite some time. The maser plan is that I've been modelling the acute corner situations first, specifically FA to ortho connections, and then I'll work on filling in the rest.

As for rowhomes, I'm not opposed to doing some as they don't take very long to model and recolor, but please note that I am very bad at lotting. I've never gotten anything up on the exchange. So if I can get you finished models and you can get them on lots then power to ya. Haha

You can DM me about the rowhomes you'd like done, I'd love to see and I'm all ears.  You don't have to go too crazy with measurements as Google Maps makes it quite easy to measure sizes generally within the foot. Just an address or link will do just fine and we'll go from there.

Cheers

Hi everyone, 

i'm trying to extend Jenx's straight taxiway piece using PIM without success so far. There are many experienced Baters here who may help me on this, so if  someone knows how to do this i would very happy.  Thank you.

Ah yes, the JENX extensions of AC Airport. Hope it's successful. Never keep up!

Yo, guys --

A bit off-topic, here......

Can anyone "PM" me with a brief description of -- (1) the differences between "Maxis Night" and "Dark Nite" -- (2) The effect "DN" would have on "MN" lots -- and (3) Is it possible to run them simultaneously?

I'm considering running "Dark Nite" -- but not if I'm going to have to start over from scratch.

A few more pictures from Wilhelmshaven South......

Here you have two views of the steam yacht "Olympus" laying off-shore. (Yacht courtesy of @Barroco Hispano.)  Apparently some of the rich folk have gone ashore to dine in the upscale Catalina Restaurant ( @mattb325).  "Fine seafood while at sea -- Alfresco seating available below Sea State 3".

 

An overview of the new financial district extending out along the North Shore of the mainland.

 

This is an arrangement of "The Shard" and "The Place" -- and an example of the "Green Influence" at work in my city.  There are a few W2W neighborhoods -- usually small and compact -- with some sort of "signature" atmosphere.  But the majority of buildings are separated from one another by wide, open, connecting plazas accented with trees, shrubs, and flowers.  The idea is to make "the big city" more pleasant and less dark and cramped

Admire your effort to ceaee some wonderfull content for the fractioniol angle Bat;s, There;s a lot of available but stille some good variety of on every level, always welcome. Specialy I would love to see some more development on fractional fillers. Some are there but sill there remain situations you would like to have that last fill wich isn;t covered by the in game or any sidewalk mod filler.Great work looking forward to more !

Sincerely yours,

Kschmidt

Love the fire station!  Well, all your work really.   Would you be able to let me know what buildings these are and where you downloaded them?  The W2Ws with the staircases in the back.

If you want, show me some spaces you'd like to fill in an I'll see what I can come up with. 

Drop some screenshots! I want to see the situations. 

I've been wanting to work on more unconventional lots like curved junkyards, corner/diagonal strip malls, gas stations..... little filler pieces you can set down and forget about.

I make them this way, I draw out the parcel then model within the constraints

Hi. I'm happy for see you gaming NewCity (Lone Pine).😍

It's a awesome game, but I don't saw a lot posts about this new game in Simtropolis. ;-;

Those buildings are original Maxis vanilla, nothing added.

The plop version will follow soon. It will be 5x4 with a built in STR rail spur.

Here is a version of it.

can someone tell me where I can reactivate the tool "automatically adjust terrain" ???

Impresive, great, airport ! Double size I created in Mayon region sometime ago. Real working hard to beat, at least there´s some business space available to make it more likely. Up left that´s a FAR runway or diagonal ? Low commercial, low residential and agriculture or forest area to come, well done  !

Thank you, well I will look into it iff I can find any samples. Mostly that is the space close to FAR and Curves wich is reserved by the model. Buildings diagoanal and FAR need a square to plop, so a wider overlay sidewalk template wich covers all sides of the road and crossings. This may become little complicated as you will need to have several sets like concrete, sandstone, bricks, etc to have every need available !

Sincerely yours,

Kschmidt

Thank you kschmidt .  The runway is FAR. The space will be filled with mid commercial.  Here is the latest progress.

I for one STRONGLY recommend any and all ideas you have for junk-yards, corner shops and gas stations which fit in for FA/Orthogonal intersections and corners. Possible inspiration may come from SFBT's highway fillers, in particular the fillers which maintenance depots, shops and junk yards.

Very, very dirty... Nicely done! Would blend in well with those junk yards and garbage disposal facilities you built because they have the same filthy concrete textures.
