The ubiquitous american style apartments/shops that are in every US city, but surprisingly nothing like it exists in game

Certainly those are becoming more common, but still very common and very absent are the "complexes" such as this one:

Boardwalk 02, Building 4: The Arcade.  When you can't go to the beach and are forced indoors, it's time to race, win free throw championships, beat up on evil villains ... or build a metropolis.

Three Japanese gas stations: Cosmo, Idemitsu, and Jomo. Due to the popularity of the combini in Japan, gas stations mostly have repair shops and sell few convenience items. Jomo rarely exists in Japan now, due to Eneos-Jomo merger, but it lives on forever for SC4 now. There is still some work to do before I release them. 

In the USA, there is a Cosmo in Honolulu, randomly, that also works on Japanese cars.

Along with the stations, I am releasing a pack of Japanese small shops based on this building. The konbini doesn't involve just convenience stores, but many other products too, from work clothes, to cellphones, to donuts.

I finally finished exporting the 12 variations of English oak including the summer, fall and winter version. I also did the seasonal props and MMP's for the 12 variations. 

 

I exported 36 trees (Summer, autumn and winter). It is as if I have exported 6 species of evergreen trees. 

 

Sure could use some orange.

I'm working on the shores of one of many lakes in Maxiland. First picture: Sort of an experiment of what I could do to create a mire-like area, with the area right at the shore featuring mostly reeds, transitioning to a marshy area with a few shrubs and flowers, further transitioning to grassland and last, forest. Second picture: A small natural dam between two lakes, having been fortified on one side to prevent erosion (the upper lake is basically an artifical basin to collect surplus drained water from the surrounding fields).

Looks good. Especially the variation in the veggies. This is sometimes tough to achieve / fight against.

@SIM-ple Jack You are my friend and I have a small gift for you *Madmax style cars* 

----------------------------------

I can do MMPs like this but I don't know what use for it. The only thing I can think of is doing Road MMPs. 

Seamless

I'm going to make a more complex alpha channel so it doesn't look so round.

 

Those oak MMPs are gorgeous as are at least a dozen of your latest work-in-progress tree MMPs.

But that gravel texture is beautiful, at least to my eye, and could almost double as a courtyard texture or a dry desert/rock texture. Definitely onto to something here!

Yo, guys --

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the members of our community a......        HAPPY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR !!!     

I know this year has been very rough for most of us -- but a new year makes for new starts -- and brings promise of hope for better times.

By way of promises -- work still carries on (slowly) in Cuxhaven" (there is a limit to how fast the "shipyards" can turn out new vessels ).  The new CJ will begin as soon as humanly possible.

Meanwhile, over in the dockyards of Bremerhaven -- the work proceeds with all possible dispatch.  I leave you a year-ending progress map and some test shots......

 

In these two, I "borrowed" the "Australasian Shipping Company" from @mattb325 and turned it into a set of row warehouses circa 1910 to 1940.

Again -- a HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! to one and to all!  May 2022 be better than we think......

 

A diagonal seaport? Go! And very cool.

You can tell I'm a newbie to mmp. 

 

This is art and if MMPs look like art or something seamlessly natural then you've nailed them.

The lot design allows these to all be clustered together

...will be available soon.

Awesome stuff as always! One could build an entire large city tile with only your buildings!

Pop culture reference time. On my cursed island we have a show where two old comedians go fishing with a little dog and talk about life. It's as chill as an episode of Bob Ross painting.

(are there any MMPs of dogs?)

Great! I would use it as it looks right now but the fact that you want to make it even more realistic speaks for the quality of your work. Can't wait to see the finished product!

City life ... the idea was just to change the stadium but (as always) ended up in re-doing the whole area ...

So glad to see you back in action 

For the glass, I think the first thing should be giving it a few imperfections using a bump/noise map. Jason goes over the process in the link that Matias posted, but there are a few ways to go about doing it. Glass can be tricky to get right on buildings for this game (frankly, I've never once been happy with a glass material I've made). I can go into more detail if you like

Yes IDS2!!! thanks a lot!! To me any information on how to improve the quality of bats is appreciated!

I've been watching that all the realistic baters are showing variations on how they deal with glass reflection in their bats. Fortunately many of them ( even you ) manage to give the impression of reflection or transparency with reflection and bump. In my case i'm in the point of dealing on how to get reflections with transparency at the same time and i'm getting something. First I've read  @Jasoncw tutorial and i've learned something. Now keep working to get the best result optimizing rendering time.

Thanks again for your feedback

@IDS2 It would be nice if you did a little tutorial, I have never been able to get a good result. 

@The British Sausage I knew you would like it
