Great coal seaport! I like the use of spare MMP

I finally got around building a coal port, using @Paulus' excellent set. I used a lot of MMPs, applying lessons from a great showcase by @The British Sausage. Thank you both! Here is my (not quite finished) take on it.

 

I think it looks amazing, nice transparent roof. Such logistics centers tend to be huge in general, so size is good IMO.

I'm working on remodeling an island, creating an executive airport with a commercial port and cruise ships. Private beaches, boardwalks with a commercial area, ferries, and sailboat stands.

I think it's looking nice. What do you think?

 

Estoy trabajado en remodelar una isla, haciendo un aeropuerto ejecutivo con puerto comercial y cruceros. playas privadas malecones con area comercial y ferrys y puestos de veleros-

 

Creo que esta quedando bonito

I don't think a 2x2 lot is a good idea for this building.

I would keep it for the ploppable lot, but for the growable it would need some extra space, specially if you want it to be usable for people without CAM.

The LOT does not need to be bigger than for a CAM version. The Filling Degree property needs to be set much lower. What I did with the upcoming Tag_One CAM lots, that I provided non-CAM versions where I used a lower filling degree to get either directly middle stage 8 offering (by PIM-X) or middle stage 9 and I chose the stage 8 from the offered list. 

I summon @rsc204's memory and or knowledge, as I vaguelly recall an earlier discussion about which method would be the better for by default CAM stage lots which we want to provide as non-CAM lots:
a) choose the proper filling degree and set the growth stage to maximum 8 manually in Reader

OR

b) set-up a filling degree (even if it's much lower, than it should be according to the guide) where PIM-X would offer the stage 8 for the lot. 

IIRC it was said, that for the overall in-game mechanics and simulation the option B is the better one, so in recent years when I'm doing growable lots, where the growth stages would go above 8, I use the option B.

In my experience in lotting/modding, option B is much better for making buildings like these grow. Growable building lots that stray too far from the default filling degree (0.5) tend to overproduce, or not produce at all.

If you have to set the filling degree to 0.25 to make it a Stage 8 building, do you think it'd still grow?  I agree that Option B is the best option rather than manually editing the stage in the exemplar (because despite the stage, there'd never be enough demand for it to grow).  But you say that if you're too far from 0.5, things get wacky.  But what if you need to get pretty far from 0.5 in order to make the building a Stage 8 lot?  

The idea is, a 2x2 lot will have a smaller filling degree to fit into Stage 8, then a 3x3 lot.  I'd probably try to balance the building out with a 3x3 lot, so that PIM-X doesn't need too low a filling degree in order for the building to grow as a Stage 8 lot.

I think your suggestion for a 3x3 is the best option here, in terms of relating the BAT to the filling degree. I think we have to remember that the game is looking to be "efficient" when choosing what grows. The more job-dense or resident-dense a building is, the more likely it gets chosen, and you run into the "weedy growth" issue. On the other end, something with a low filling value will be seen as inefficient and not selected by the game when more efficient options of the same stage, tileset and lot size are available.

Full steam ahead with diagonal W2Ws:

[Bolshevik 68]

Tod's building is located on Qingshan District, Wuhan's famous boulevard and Omotesando, the most famous shopping street in Tokyo.

The exterior of Tod's store is encased in 300 mm of concrete. The exterior is divided into more than 270 skin spaces by frameless glass and aluminum panels (200 of which are filled with double glazing for ventilation and condensation, and the remaining 70 are filled with aluminum panels) , floors are supported with spans of 10 to 15 meters, creating a column-free interior space. Viewed from the outside at night, the spaces between the lines are illuminated and the building appears to be gently wrapped in the silhouette of a tree.

I've got the model, but no rendering or anything.Does anyone need this model?

Hello everybody!

The past few weeks were spent on doing some preparation and finishing touches on the Gascooker's and Tag_One's (T1) LEX contents. Because of the nature of these updates the BSC Common Dependencies pack required further updates. Recovering the Tag_One's contents also means that his STEX releases will be updated to be brought to the same versions as with these re-hosted versions. Because of this the BSC Parks Compilation got a new item BSC Parks T1 - Airball Park and now running as Version 2. 

The current wave of restoration work includes 19 uploads + 2 updates (plus Ulissie Wolf's upload of the SC4 Legacy - Airport Common Dependency Pack); six LEX Legacy compilations, seven single uploads formerly available on the LEX, two SC4D LEX DVD Exclusive contents and 4 contents that are revisions of current STEX releases (the STEX entries are/will be updated too). The LEX Legacy compilations are also containing several contents that were either exlusively available on the SC4D LEX DVD or got rehosted from STEX entries. Since the sidebar can only show the last 10 uploads, this article will reference all the links that were uploaded and updated between 18 April 2025 and 23 April 2025.

This brings a total 130 restored/updated contents (in this 19 uploads) to SC4Evermore this time.

I list here a few of the recent updates and uploads:

• SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC Common Dependencies Pack v9c

• SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC Gascooker Commercial Compilation
• SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC Gascooker Residential Compilation
• SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC Gascooker Industrial Compilation
• SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC Tag_One Commercial Compilation
• SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC Tag_One Residential Compilation
• SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC Tag_One Industrial Compilation

You can get all the links and more information by reading the following article on the front page of the SC4Evermore:

21 April 2025 - BSC Common Dependencies v9c, Tag_One's and Gascooker's Compilations

Have fun with the restored contents!

A preliminary header defining the properties for my planned custom ordinance exemplar format. I took the Maxis ordinance exemplar format and extended it with new properties, while reusing the Maxis properties where it made sense to do so.

These will be two separate props on the same diagonal lot, to make it more slope-friendly:

[pclark06 12,061]

Working on the Nissan dealer still but here’s a preview of another dealer 

[Null 45 3,100]

The Lua ordinance has a base expense of -125, and uses the following availability and monthly cost functions:

-- Calculates the ordinance's monthly expense/income.

function null45_get_monthly_income(monthlyConstantIncome)
local extra = game.g_city_rci_population * -0.001
return monthlyConstantIncome + extra
end

-- Returns a value indicating if the ordinance should
-- be available to select in the ordinance list.

function null45_check_conditions()
return true
end

Three separate props will make the lot even more slope-friendly:

KK AP F1 Short study !

KK & A(IP F1 bat´s installed and had a little go with the different pieces and RHW mix !

This first try, the intention is to explore different circuit types so this is not a defenite design ! So much walls, tarmac and little snadbox wich would be nice to see some more of them ! Silverstone, Branch Hatch, Donnington park legendary UK race courses to be.... !

Enjoy !
