Who wants to see bears in SimCity 4?

Brown Bear:

I can pose it as I want so if you want to see one in particular just send me images in private message.

Another planned release for the fall. I will be in Boston for the next week and am working on stuff that I want to finish when I get back.

Still working on Southeast Vancouver.  Just finished blending the western side of the Kingsway.  Originally I was going to leave the kind of jagged edges where buildings met the diagonal GLR, but decided to smooth them out and basically made the open space next to the track a makeshift greenway.  Here you can see the before:

Then the after (am also suddenly having very, very long trains):

Another shot further down the Kingsway, here you can see a little walkable shopping mall around the diagonal Louis Vuitton building:

Some zoomed out shots:

My biggest issue (and it's a small one) is that I can't use MMPs on those open areas around the tracks.
Moving onto the other side of the street next.

Thanks!

Aren't there NAM tram pieces with grass on both sides ? If not, there should be (as many tram lines have those ; I just saw some like that in Europe recently) ; ortho and diag, of course.:-)

There are some grass based pieces, but they tend to use the grass where the rails for the trams are. The edges of such pieces still have sidewalks.

You can't usually place MMPs on network pieces, which includes the Tram network and Pedmalls too. If you want props to appear on such networks that needs to be done using T21s. If you replace the Pedmalls with standard lot-based fillers, then you can detail those tiles with MMPs.

The power supply is only about 3-4 months old but it very well could be problematic.

Even a young PS can be unsteady if overloaded (or if one rail is overloaded). Also, any no-name PS that "came with the system" could be junk.

This is awesome! When I drove a school bus I had to bring mine to one of these a few times for service and recalls.

Thanks to both of you!  I’m actually using the draggable GLR so the grass pieces aren’t really going to cut it.  Which is fine, I rather like the uniform look I have now, it’s just a little bare.

I am using some Ped Malls but those are primarily being used to prevent no car zots from appearing on some of the buildings placed along the track, and to provide connections to neighborhood streets.  The other fillers are diagonal park fillers to match up with the base texture of the GLR.  Despite those being park lots I can’t MMP those either.  It’s no biggie though.  I’ll LE some of those park lots eventually.

 

Do you have any suggestions for keeping the car count down on my trams though?

Thanks!

Hey everybody,

I've been lurking for a while and still working on my city basically block-by-block as  much as I can. I've also re-worked my city's history and lore to make it believable with hopes of starting my CJ over again sometime soon.

 

Anyway, heres a very French part of my city that I've been working on for about a year or so. Still alot left to do.
Recently just came back from France too so I have alot more inspiration!!

 

Also trying to figure out those brown boxes on the JENX walls by the waterfront

 

Look or this is the 2011 version, remove these and install the 2013 version. https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=3051

Hope this will work !

Sincerely yours,

kschmidt

I had almost forgotten about this skyscraper:

Available as an overhanging diagonal ploppable as well.

And more updates from The Big Mango as I continue my quest to recreate New York and its aesthetic feel! For further pictures check my latest CJ entry!

The Big Mango as it stands right now!

 

I worked out a way of making the western approach to Brooklyn Bridge interesting!

 

The inclusion of Four World Financial Centre and Three World Financial Centre was sorely needed!

 

I've never had so much fun before in SC4!

That looks amazing! It would work in both rural and urban settings!

I wrote it into your SC4D thread already. But as The British Sausage noticed, this would with into urban areas too, and the building is quite generic, so one would be able to turn it to be an old tram depo building too. I didn't find the time, but recently you released a bunch of useful rail stuffs, which can be reused in other areas too. 
This one is a really awesome building and the lotting is cool as well...
I'm wondering if you plan to cook out a new overlay set, which would contain overlays for hump yards (so anyone could make custom modular hump yards), and other yards too. I KNOW about the old RRW LotText sets, I just don't remember how big areas they do cover, also the only hump yard what we have (thanks to you), I think that contains mostly base textures. I'm thinking about a more generic modular stuff with overlays. I assume these textures above are base textures too. 

Anyhow, this is an awesome lot, they it will have place in our cities!  

Thanks for making it!

finally uploaded my relots of some of Mattb325 stations (with parkings, t.e., for the lazy a. players like me (I usually add an underground parking in the immediate vicinity when I play, as a lip service to realism...:-) Thank you again, Matt, for letting me do this !

Lake Mayon Ferry System !

Finaly lake Mayon Island are accesible by car ! Maxis default ferry is something weird allowing car travel or not ?

 

Patch on the original game ferry terminal # Hope other ferry terminal may have this two worked out !

Enjoy !

 BTW, there are WMP various ferries ; have you tried them ? I never checked if they were functional, at the time... (checking...) From the pictures they seem to be (there is the ferry automata on the street ferry)

I use WMP ferries, they are fully functional and use the game's ferry as automata.

[tariely 4,499]

And they're beautiful !
