Guess who did a bit of urban renewal (and downloaded quite more than a bit of new content)

I'm also not fond of the brick,

I actually really like that colour of bricks. Lovely arched windows too on the first floor.

Okay, since I didn't have anything important to do today, I worked on this a little more. It's about 60% done. I like the shape of the building, but I'm not too sure about the windows. I'll probably make a few  different ones and see which I like better. I'm also not fond of the brick, so I'll peruse the ACME Brick site and see if I can find something I like more. Here's a pic. Cheers!

the weathering on the concrete walls is excellent

Working on getting Cutty Sark ready for publication.

To my knowledge the first square rigged ship under full sails with realistic rigging and a nice heel to leeward.

If anybody is interested, I have quite a few snapshots posted here:

Thanks to some nice information from Tyberius, MGB and Us3er on discord i could change the grass colors, its more realistic now

Love the Estes truckyard. I live by a big one of those and the trucks are always blocking up the intersections. This will be a welcome addition to my developable marshlands!

I'm risking something... Let's see what happens.

I've been making a lot of variations of the Dutch Park series of lots with different sidewalk combinations/fences lately..

A while back I had discovered the GoFSH repository for SHK Super Parking, and made a no grass version and thought it was awesome, then I realized how badly it messed up a lot of lots people have released. So I reverted it back to normal and have been making relots with sidewalk instead (of the basic/extended lot sets he released). The parking entrances didn't have a sidewalk version, so I was able to make some actual use of the Texture ID Range I received. 

 A compromise for a unified wealth (HT) version of SAM11, so sections of it can still blend in around I-M areas.

Aaand... office #10 to complete the pack! To be released some time soon.

I'm very surprised a thread like this hasn't been made yet. I know SC4D has had one for the longest time... but nothing here at ST.

Anyways the guidelines are very simple. Post pics of stuff you're working on. Other memebers can provide pointers and whatnot if you're asking for help/opinions. Otherwise you're just posting content that is in the works/not quite finished.

For example, this is what I was working on today. Click images for full size.

Still a lot of tinkering to do... Maybe I'll insert some rail curves as well.

Anyways you get the premise. Now show us what you're working on!

alright i gotta admit. now that some of the biggest whoppers of bugs and annoyances in the game have been marvelously resolved. one still remains: The highway light poles taller than the mid-rise buildings! Someone desperately needs to resize those puppies!

You're quoting my first post here from 2012. Have you not seen any of my pics from the last 10 years or so? I've switched to these for all builds since and replaced many of the older builds with them as they get retrofitted/upgraded.

Example:

I even have a thread for this and other things I often use for highway builds-

yeah my mistake it'd been a while since i'd logged in, i clicked the link on the latest entry on the thread and forgot that rather than taking me to the latest entry, it takes me to the first entry. btw, i've always enjoyed looking at your handiwork with the NAM. cheers.

Frito Lay DC that I finished:

[Odainsaker 2,137]

I was finally able to resolve the issues I was having with many of @CycleDogg's terrain mods, as I wasn't catching that the multi-mod installer needed me to deliberately select the appropriate default rock textures essentials file as it didn't automatically default to the defaults when the desired terrain mod was selected.  Minor technical details...what matters is that I can now apply the Grand Canyon Terrain Mod to my own Grand Canyon map:

Naturally, there was a compatibility issue between the seasonal tree settings of the terrain mod and the seasonal tree settings of the used Cascadia Tree mod, causing the trees to not rotate through the seasons, but I was able to resolve those.  I still haven't tweaked for snowlines or treelines yet, as I just wanted to see a quick mockup with everything working in a test plugins environment.

This map orientation was originally meant to also include Zion National Park:

However, I think I instead like the following alternate map orientation:

At the top, rightmost corner is the volcanic S P Crater, for which @CycleDogg's Grand Canyon terrain mod also provides a great match before the drier season takes hold:

For amusement I tried to see if my Grand Canyon could be bridged in SimCity, attempting a rough bridge near the Toroweap Overlook, but I forgot that my bare-bones test plugins folder didn't have NAM's bridge or slope controllers, and so SimCity decided on an alternative infrastructure strategy:

To cross the canyon, daring drivers begin by entering a giant ramp whose thrilling descent cuts a sheer slot through the cliff wall.  Gaining downwards acceleration, vehicles will have enough speed when entering a tunnel entrance at the base of the opposing cliff wall to then be propelled upwards through the sharply rising tunnel and ejected at the top of the cliff out though a tunnel exit emptying into another ravine.

Have you thought about building a giant escalator with steps large enough to fit a car? That's the only way you're going to get up there

...or down in one piece lol

August 1954. Vegetables have ripened in the kitchen-gardens of the GENT region. Local residents can now buy fresh vegetables at farmers' markets.

This is almost done. I just need to adjust a couple of the textures. Here's an in-game pic of the latest test render.

Visual the monorail would have compaired more closely thanEL Rail with the seperated viaducts ! This resembles Miami Metrorail very closely, but this is just a very short seventies build section of the system. Still a local connection of the subway to Schiphol Airport still to be build, a project wich may remain on the shelf as city and government resources are never that great !

Been a while since I've uploaded a new map due to spending time on a personal SC4 project that (fortunately) is near completion. Rest assured, though, the 'ol mapping machine is still fully functional albeit collected a bit of dust, and the next "season" of maps is coming soon!  Here's a preview:

It's 1954 again on the island of Santana.

We built a pier for unloading railway cars and steam engins. We bought a harbor crane from AP (20 tons) - it is a very expensive crane, but very good.

Thanks @AP! Now we can buy and transport steam engins and railway cars to the island !!!

THANKS !
