I think modeling and texturing is almost done. I tried to make the building look like it was when it was built.

The detail up in the roof crown is amazing!

I'm working on lotting my Department of Transportation buildings.  I'm not the greatest at this so I'm working off of a lot of other lots for inspiration.

Here's the Rural version:

Here's the Urban version:

The Query has been done for a while:

I was hoping to hear back from some NAM team members about the info I added in the tooltips.  I'm still waiting on that I suppose.  The only thing I have to do at this point is make a Maxis Nite version of the Urban lot (it can be either Dark Nite or Maxis Nite).

May I suggest, for your use, using the Scoty MP textures to replace those overlays with a sudden valley style grass to match

I use Sudden Valley, but for others who don't will it look odd?  I was also trying to use dependencies that are also very popular, like the SuperSHK Parking Textures (over 40,000 downloads).  I like a nice set of grass, but is there something in-between looking nice and very popular?

Great project :-) but i see that when export with Gmax some are in low solution. I don't remember where, there are some new script for Gmax to get hd resolution the file with a script "SFCameraRigHD"

I went through the same issue. @kingofsimcity has files available to create your own matching build of the SuperSHK. See this thread for a link:

Quick noob question - there exists a version of each Maxis building as a PROP - where can I download these??

Looking to make an old-school "lot" - just a bunch of maxis houses arranged with props on a lot.

Thanks !

Scoty Modular Parking also! A Fabrik | Restitory is available on my drive ! SMP offers the same things as Kosc-Parking, and more ... in another style!

There is Maxis Buildings As Props and DLC Props on SC4Evermore. Is that what you are looking for?

The best solution is to use textures that have the ability to be customised. For example, if you use the official SHK Parking and KOSC's addons, it is possible for end users to install custom versions with their own sidewalk/grass choices. It's also possible to use the tools provided by KOSC (GoFSH Repo) to create custom versions to match any setup.

If you mod lots to be override compatible like this, for users the experience is seamless. If they don't have custom grass/sidewalks, then they will get the default Maxis ones, but if they've installed a custom version then your lots will automatically match their setup.

[jestarr 3,423]

Okay, this is finally done. They'll be two versions. One at 8x2 tiles with warehouse doors on the front only and one at 8x3 tiles with warehouse doors on both sides, both in SD and HD. I'm waiting to upload to make sure it grows properly. Here's a pic of the 8x2 lot.

Added Suzuki branding, fixed the roof, now need to add the cars to the showrooms

[Krisman 4,652]

So I build my lotted port years ago and never really looked back ... but I was in the zone and decided to upgrade the port to make it a bit more cohesive with my recent style of city-building. Still work in progress, so I will share more shots later this month ...

I had no idea that this was even a possibility.  I assume you mean this?  The irony is, I must've saw that download in your files list a while ago but I probably glossed over it (probably because I didn't have the SuperSHK pack yet) and instead I was more interested in your Terrain Override mod for the NAM.  I think I also installed an override mod that fixes all BSC parks to use Sudden Valley terrains, but I'm not sure where I got that now.  

It's a dumb question then, since the entire point is customization - but has anyone actually customized the SuperSHK pack for Sudden Valley + Maxis Sidewalks and posted it anywhere for download?  If not, I'll try doing it myself based on your development kit instructions.

[rsc204 21,866]

Yeah, the file you linked to basically supports all my TGN/SWN options as ready to use options. It includes support for Maxis Sidewalks and Grass too, you can install any set of either. So yes it supports Maxis SW combined with SV grasses.

KOSC uploaded an official repository anyone can use to make one themselves.

BSC park/grass overrides are handled in TGN, although there are still many unsupported textures.

Extending TerrainQuery with an optional 'pollution' mode. This displays the same flammability, land value, and pollution data as the Maxis advanced building query, but works for any land cell.

It is off by default, you have to hold down Ctrl with the terrain query cheat enabled for that data to show.

Almost. I did it for my own sidewalk set, using the automated tools that Rivit and Robin made:

https://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/31425-m93-kosc-supershk-retextures-for-veredas-sudden-valley/

I just checked and the files and the script are still available on KOSC's google drive, so you could run it on GoFSH with the appropriate textures and get it in minutes:

Yes - but I can't seem to open that file in PIMX - is there some extra step to unpack the .dat file?

[kaimai 1,067]

Not that I know of; they show up under the "Building as Prop" menu for me (and in the lot editor).

Thank you - for years I've been missing them!

Stay tuned for some fun stuff.

Wow @Krisman! I really love the way you lot and textures you use. I was wondering which texture it is? Do you know where can I find it?

current city of Quartz in my region:

zoomed out view:

and if anyone's got any suggestions on how to do this without making a ridiculous mess like I seem to be doing, be my guest, lol

 

eta: forgot to point out that I have a small dirt road (street) stub added on the west side of the tile. Goal is to eventually connect it to the rest of the dirt road that's curving south. So, it'll eventually be turned into an avenue (though i might make it a boulevard instead), as it's going to be the main road that'll loop through the cities connecting major sections together
