A few improvements made using the textures of @hugues arouxon my Ville Corsaire tile.

The streets don't really coincide with the entrances to the walled city. To solve this problem, I've come up with 3 solutions:
1) Align the walls with the streets
2) Match streets to walls
3) Do nothing and leave as is
The last solution suits me perfectly for the moment.

The accesories haven't been defined yet, so there's bound to be some reworking.

Love the details. The combination of sidewalk, lot textures and props works really well!

Spent the last 2 hours clicking pixels trying to make an animated flag.
I'm getting a bit impatient 🫠

Final version

Making a fence exported with 3dsmax look good in-game is very complicated. I did what I could.

New Chicago Project 04 !

What can I say still a large wiindy city ! Huge area to fill up, plop, zone, green space, avenue´s bridges, stations, transit ..

West of the loop I created little highway infrastructure; RHW isn´t and won´t be my strongest point ever. So it´s a  crowded urban enviroment and like to create somethng usefull !

South of Milienium Station former Randolph street at Van Buuren station and Museum park on the Metra Electric !

Last the northside of the loop I hope to start soon to have some startup !<

At the left up corner with the park will be the Millennium Station !

Last the New Eastside area with some remarkable architecture !

Enjoy !

Growing up in Santiago de Chile, I was fascinated by the Padre Hurtado park, in those days called "intercomunal". It's a park shared by two municipalities, La Reina, Las Condes, plus input from a third one for some reason. And I've always found that idea neat, having a park that's shared by cities, where people can join in and mingle. So, I occasionally build these sort of parks in my own cities -- and when I got the modular cemeteries mod, I knew I had something interesting in my hands. 

The weird thing about building at the edges is that nothing comes together until you open GIMP and start solving the screenshot puzzle. Which, in my case, actually meant downloading GIMP and learning how to use it. But anyway, here's a neat little (actually, it's quite big) cemetery built on the side of a hill, almost a ravine, maybe where they used to dump bodies in darker times or something.

I'm glad somebody is keeping up the old arts of SimCity 4 animations. I have many ideas but not the skills or patience to make them real.

I have been meaning to do this little tile for years, but never got round to making a special 'automotive plant' lot until now. For some reason all my copies of Jestars 'VW Automotive Plant" have corrupted base tiles, so I re-lotted my own version, transit enabled as well.

SBS plugin update online! Fixed links, more stations, more textures...

 

[kschmidt 6,222]

Willis Tower - Sears Tower -? !

Abundance of choice here...! Willis Group - United Airines and Sears occupied the building for some time !

First the Willis by Diego Del Llano !

Second three alternative versions by KS_JAP, a portogese brazilian and Doitle version !

Luxury, quality variation top, street level lot and textures, all look very nice, some preference !

Enjoy !

Phase 2, making props for the warehouse, is coming along.

Problem being trying to make small trees and chain link fences in Gmax is not fun...

[jestarr 3,423]

Here's a little eye-candy for you. I rendered these to get a feel for the coming lot. I also added steps to the docks and loading funnels to the rear of the silos. Still need to add winches and cables for that. Currently, it's about a third-ish textured. I'm looking to make some new ones but I'm not very good at it so it's taking forever. I noticed that the barge looks a bit short to me. I may redo it and make it a little longer. The canal portion will be a prop with a transition piece for SG's canals and I'll render a hopper car with a grain load, too.

Is it only for the original SG canal or could you do it for the CAL SG Remaster too? If the canal transition piece will be completely separate from the main model, actually relots could be done for other canal options too in the future. Anyhow it looks very promising, I already love it!

I didn't want to post my "two cents" because I didn't want to come across as sardonic in any way, because I think your work is exceptional. You are always incredibly tasteful with your relotting. I love these shots, because I get a sense of place. It's not quite photogenic, in the sense that the shots seem edited to a visual standard, like @korver 's work, (who of course was a maestro,) it's more interesting than that, to me, because the screenshots tell a "unique" story. IDK where this place is, but it seems real.  The shots come to life because there's a real sense of, I'm repeating myself, "place." It all looks "lived in." I can truly believe this place exists and is not just a fevour dream. 

But... I have one critic... 9 of the same vehicles all parked in a row! I can believe 7, even 8, but 9? Now I'm wondering if they all are Men in Black! I'm not asking for a pink Cadillac on the way to a shotgun wedding, but these spooks in their company cars are giving me the heebie jeebies! 

To be honest, I'm kinda making a joke, because your painstaking detailed creation is so good, I can't think of anything to add. And it's "quarter to three..." Forgive me!

Thank you so much.

You are indeed right. I am strongly inspired by a town in my native region, Saint Malo.

As for the result, the credit must be given to the many people who share know-how, whatever the field (knowledge, Mod, BAT, Material pack, Lot, City journals, players, etc.). Precious and invaluable help when creating my cities and most certainly my best source of inspiration.

[Basileion 230]

So many amazing ideas on this thread, thank you so much guys !

 

Haven't played a lot on SC4 these last few weeks but I have focused my efforts on my RHW-mod region (which I'm very poor at ^^ ) and here's Sparte-Plaine, a new town I'm working on, currently around 4.200 inhabitants :

 

 

[jestarr 3,423]

@Tyberius06 I can do that. I have Cal's file, so it shouldn't be any trouble.

Just to clarify I was being a bit jokey last night about the feds and stuff lol. I will have to spend some time looking up Saint Malo a little, I don't know it.

When I looked at your pictures from this city, I instantly thought of St Malo. I have been there many times on childhood holidays, either just arriving by Brittany Ferries or lingering for a while seeing the old town, and lovely Dinan not far away.

I'm not doing so badly after all. That makes me feel better. Thank you very much.

Dinan is one of my future projects. Before that, I still have a lot to learn.

As for St Malo, I placed it too far south. And with the remaining space to the north of this large tile, I'm thinking of building the port of St Helier with its ferry terminal, since St Malo will have its own.

Hi everybody!

There have been a few reports recently about broken files and some other stuff. I fixed a few of the issues and updates have been applied for the following contents (see changelogs and read descriptions/readmes):

The former DEDWD Small Shop Prop Pack has been rebranded to BSC MEGA Props DEDWD vol02 (bear in mind that this is the same as the BSC MEGA Props - DAE Vol02.dat) and merged with other commercial model and prop sets from Deadwood's Aussie commercial sets. The newly compiled mega prop pack is the same that you can find in the SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC Common Dependencies v8 (and above; current version is v9a).

Then, the Small Shops series (1x1, 1x2 and flat roof versions) have been properly updated. The building exemplars are with the lot files, the models and props are in the above linked dependency pack. All lots have been fixed from issues and have been updated with SC4PIM-X (X-Tool).

BSC DEDWD Small Shops 1x1 v103

BSC DEDWD Small Shops 1x2 v103

BSC DEDWD Small Shops Flat Roof Versions v103

Then, the ElRail and MonoRail shops have been updated too. 

BSC DEDWD ElRail Shops v103

BSC DEDWD Monorail Shops v103

If you look closely you'll see I've colour co-ordinated the flowers on the lawn around the towers.
