It's 60's:P i look for 70's :D

There's this set from @moto.kloss which may or may not fit the bill. The cars are from the 60s and 70s, but they're modeled after European vehicles, so some of them would look out of place on American-style lots.

Unfortunately, there's a bit of a weird gap for the 1970s when it comes to American car props. You'll find a lot of cars from the 50s and 60s in various prop packs, and @pclark06 made a number of props for cars from the 80s and 90s.

The only prop pack I can think of with a substantial number of American cars from the 1970s is @CT14's lowrider prop pack. However, because the cars are modeled as lowriders, a lot of the props aren't a great fit for run-of-the-mill suburban lots. That said, the set is worth checking out, and I think it might have some props you can use:

A Eucalyptus plantation (tree farm) is available for download.

Here:

 

That looks amazing! Does the tree farm also come with 1x1 "crop" pieces and even, looking at that picture, diagonal transitions?

Or is that simply your stellar lotting work in action- which is separate from the Tree Farm lot itself?

Either way- cool stuff.

I love car boat ^_^

Hearing an Italian liking these American cars does make me laugh. Most people on earth would prefer an Italian car, O.K a Ferrari or a Alfa Romeo, but I think I prefer the Fiat over the boat car! :) 

This is as crazy as Germans going to Indonesia for Oktoberfest or Swedish people getting their flat-pack-furniture from Turkmenistan! *;) :P

Give me a Coupe any day, sure some old American cars are real pretty but as driving machines, well they just aren’t any good.

Head over to my Lot and Mod Shack to keep abreast of my latest developments.

Do you like custom textures, but don't like all the work involved creating them?, take a look at the Texture Automation options here. Change the look and feel of your transit networks, with the minimum of effort, for example customised versions of my Sidewalk NAM (SWN) and Terrain Grass NAM (TGN) mods, and much more besides.

New to the NAM? Check out my tutorials on YouTube. Latest upload: How to: RHW - MHO Roundabout Interchanges. (Nov 25).

p.s. - I'm MGB over on SC4D and a member of the NAM team.

I haven't had the chance to test the lots myself yet, but if I've read the description correctly, the file comes with a separate 1x1 farm field lot that uses a prop family to generate the eucalyptus trees.

I would guess that the sections of "field" at the front of the lots (between the farm yard and the roadway) are a part of the main farm lot itself, but designed in a way that's meant to blend in with the surrounding fields. Regarding the diagonal transitions, it looks to my eyes like they've been masked with clever MMP work, but I could be wrong.

On the other hand -- you could be quite RIGHT !  *:thumb:


In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed.  But they produced Michael Angelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and The Renaissance.

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love and five hundred years of peace.  And what did that produce?

The cuckoo clock !

I don't mean to offend any readers but i have to say, these are some of the most hideous vehicles i have ever seen, more of a ship than a car! *;)

Hence the term by which this generation of cars are remembered: the "land yacht" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_yacht_(automobile))

Though if you are referring to the wooden styling, that was its own long-lived trend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodie_(car_body_style)

But what can I say? The past is a foreign land...

I just traded in a 17 year-old Ford Taurus in mint condition.  (A crash-sensor for the airbags had gone bad and Ford wasn't making parts anymore.)  It was virtually silent until you punched the gas on that V-8 -- then she purred like a kitty!  And it was so smooth, you'd have thought you were sitting on your living room sofa.    And there was a time when US automobiles were highly-prized and much-sought-after the world over.  Back in the day -- they were the ultimate luxury "ride".  But that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away......

I'm still not sure at what angles to export it...

I would pick one "Maxis diagonal" and just one other.  That should cover most opportunities.

God I love the Hind so much. I would appreciate a non crashed version of this beauty.

Love it!  Bringing back fond memories of Sucre, where I spent a month.  Can see the bar where I took Salsa lessons, the icecream parlour by the plaza, where I would watch the parades, even the zebra crossings, where they had people dressed up as actual zebras to contol the traffic!!!

And then of course the ubiquitous red brick slums, interspersed with the ubiquitous  Eucalyptus trees.

Stunning work as always!

I still can't get over the level of detail in these models. And they could be in the game is even more mind blowing. Well done @Barroco Hispano!
