I'll have to cure my obsession with publications of parking. 

Hey, super cool! How'd you do that?

Thank you... 

These are montages of overlays that I adjust as needed. In this case the FAR of the NAM and the "Scoty MP Textures" that I mistreat, cut, torture,..... (please forgive me, @hugues aroux).

I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you to forgive me in advance, as some of your BATs will be “Tweaked”.

@Honolulu Beautiful! You'll have more props to use soon.

It's nice because people like you do wonderful things. The credit goes to you and not me.

I would literally do anything for this mansion, that castle/palace you've been working on, and that stunning car! As always, your work is phenomenal!

Just did a new car model tonight in a loong time, im kinda rusty. This is a very popular car among classic car lover subcultures around the world, the Chevrolet Impala 1964, to replace that annoying pink lowrider. I found that there are several variants of these already on STEX, in fact, the same manufacturing year, released just a few weeks ago by @justforfun. Oh well these will be matte black and some fun colour.

It's been a while since I posted something. Finally came around to finishing this 3x2 lot:

Happy Workers' Day! I recently took to revising my old City Journal entries, since my oldest city turns 200 as soon as I leave it running for a while (?). Here's the first updated entry on Anclaje:

I still don't get it - do you do this in-game, or in photoshop?

It's a very cool effect. Never seen anything like that!

I apologize for the lack of clarity in my explanations. I'll try to remedy that.

I don't do this in the game. These are textures I make from other textures which I then use for my lots.

For instance: On the left are the original textures (the first two are by @hugues aroux (scoty) and the last one is a FAR section from NAM).

As I don't want to see the white lines of the second texture, I correct the alpha by blackening the two white lines at the top (texture no. 3, second line). 

Using the BMP x PNG command in the GoFSH tool by @rivit, I obtain the transparency that allows me to superimpose these three textures to obtain just one in the end.

My lots are not “functional”. They're useless for simulation. They're just eye candy.

Hopefully I was a little more explicit this time. Don't hesitate to ask again if it wasn't the case.

These props will fill two diagonal lots. I can't believe I'm still making shopfronts, I thought I was done after modelling 1000 for the shop parades, instead here I am having to do more. I honestly lost count.

Made a small residential lot:

I know all about that, Mate......

I can't even begin to guess how many "standardized" modular lots I have created for "Dockyards".

My favorite English "shops" were "book sellers", tobacconists, Fortnum & Masons, and almost any pub.

Those were the "good old days" -- I traveled mostly "duty free" --

Fortnum & Mason happens to be in my endless list of projects, just don't ask me when I'll get to do it!

This commercial is meant to occupy one and a half diagonal tiles:

Looks good. The wall set and the vegetation next to the train line in particular convey the density that necessarily accompanies hillside developments.

Am I to guess that those walls are no longer available since SC4 Devotion's catalogue was lost?

Also, if I may nitpick, it doesn't make much sense for a pond/lake to be positioned on top of a hill. And churches of that particular vintage were generally built on top of hills, not at the bottom.

Looks great though. Good work.

Had some fun with these offices:

Also, thank you! And yeah, I agree to that.
I made some adjustments and put a smaller church at the top after I published my CJ.

Someone on r/simcity4 asked if the UI has a limit on the number of income ordinances. I tested it, and the UI stretches up to 9 ordinances before showing the scroll arrows.

Working on a map of one of my tourist areas. It takes faaaaar too long with my attention to detail, but is really fun to do. 

 

 

Remaining items have to be added to the legend still and I also plan to attach adverts of some local businesses.

I look forward to your efforts -- landscape inspiration has been in short supply of late.

Hello everybody!

The past few days were bringing the last missing "dependencies"-like uploads from the former SC4D LEX to the new SC4Evermore, these are the NDEX Dependency packs. The previous dependency packs have been reworked, updated and expanded, many new ones have been created to bring most of the original NDEX models to SC4Evermore. These dependency packs used to be supporting the various core CAMeLot sets created by the BSC Team. The new and expanded versions are also covering the models that were linked as single model dependencies to the lot sets. See the details in the readme files.

The following new uploads have been added to the site:

• NDEX Global Essentials
• NDEX Texture Pack Vol01
• NDEX kd5rax Flora Props vol01
• NDEX DT Trees Pack Vol01 
• NDEX N747 Palm Props Vol01 
• NDEX ITS One World Flags Props
• SC4 Legacy - NDEX & Associates Dependency Compilation
• SC4 Legacy - NDEX DragonAnime Dependency Pack
• SC4 Legacy - NDEX Dusktroopers Dependency Pack 
• SC4 Legacy - NDEX Eburress and EBDT Dependency Pack
• SC4 Legacy - NDEX Ill Tonkso Dependency Pack
• SC4 Legacy - NDEX ONeil Dependency Pack
• SC4 Legacy - NDEX SimRabbit Dependency Pack
• SC4 Legacy - NDEX SuperStar Dependency Pack

Have fun!

Keeping the rhythm with another Georgian diagonal:

[rivit 3,402]

I've been getting to grips with the 900+ tiles that comprise the Ground Light Rail component of the NAM. 
It's a mighty piece of the NAM, very clever and extensive, but it has experienced many years of relative neglect, both in textures and player usage in-game. 

It looks like this: (Random scene in SC4 Vanilla + NAM)  

 

While still WIP, I've now redrawn over 80% of it using modern methods either from scratch, or by editing existing textures, and have produced a new GoFSH generating archive.  

Would you use GLR more if it looked like this?  (Two tiles here are not yet updated)

and you could do this with it?
