Dear Goldman Sachs, This great lot remind me some scenes from movie. Is there any scrap car recycling facilities in simtropolis, I thought it will bring more reality into SimCity. I just couldn't help dreaming of this since your work is so good!

I have one labeled "AutoShredder" and one named "Scrapyard" but I'm not sure who made them. There are also a couple of other ones in the STEX. Google "junkyard" and you might get lucky.

North Country Dude Innercity Junkyard, and his addon for this has the shredder.

The shredder was made by Prepo.

These are my favorite junkyards.

Switching out the base textures for SM2 'True Siding' mods/similar with dirt rather than grass. Have always preferred seeing dirt surrounding the train tracks, so the grass found on most siding lots clashes aesthetically.

Many Thanks Steven and Jack, I appreciate your clues, Sometimes I just couldn't figure out the 'keyword' due to my poor English, this are all very helpful! Thank you very much!

I have to say it's not a successful model, Maybe it's a too dark and old and poor lighthouse. But after all, I'm not an artist and it's just a newbie's practice, I just hope the next castle wall will not be so poor. @thecitiescenter

High-wealth neighbourhoods that aren't that fancy and posh:

And low-wealth neighbourhoods that aren't just slums and abandoned pre-fabs:

In any case, this is all closely sorrounding the historic centre of the city, so the idea is to get a bit more density than in the core itself, while not surrendering to the pincushion phenomenon.

[Raymond7cn 6,776]

By the permission of Sketchfab and Simtropolis. @CorinaMarie @Cyclone Boom, I'm working on make these great sculptures of Louvre Museum to be lots or props(5 of 25 has been done). some of them need a fair bit tweaks(eg. cesar's arm). And also these great models made by Benjamin Bardou.

Those tower blocks and wall to wall midrises are perfect for the task, plus, they really make an urban look while still having trees and open spaces!

@Raymond7cn

Now THIS looks promising !!     

Just what we need -- some new statues of classic composition -- high definition -- fairly good visual size -- and flexible enough to use almost anywhere......

If you turn them into lots -- make sure you provide night lighting.  They would make a fabulous show in a park or city square at night !!

Can't wait to download these  --

They are looking good... for lighting, I would just shine a few warm-coloured spotlights (a low setting  - 0.2 should do it)  towards the models, pointing upwards from the ground, to achieve a result like this picture:

You could easily model the casings for the spotlights as a basic circle, or cylindrical shape pointed towards the statue.

Presenting...

 

֍ CUPRIDGE MINING COMPLEX ֎
CUPRIDGE AND SOBLUN

 

Cupridge hosts one of the few metallic mineral deposits approved for exploitation in the Kingdom, located northwest of Soblun and west of Dolodon. Additional deposits from the same formation have been located in Imbin and Corvalis, further west.

 

 

The open pit provides access to approximately 55 million tons of ore containing 0.78% copper by weight, for an estimated market value of 2.46 million simoleons (§), or approximately 2.46 billion US dollars ($), with additional value potentially derivable from another 0.35% of metallic minerals and 1.12% worth of elemental sulfur. In total, the value of all minerals is estimated at § 4.35 million / $ 4.35 billion USD.

 

 

Rock is blasted from the pit's benched walls and is gathered for shipment off-site by bulldozers, bucket cranes and mining trucks.

 

 

Most of the deposit's ore consists of copper, which yields a high purity (97%) unrefined copper, which is then shipped to metallurgic plants, while the residual material is recovered for additional processing. Initial processing happens at the Primary Copperworks Recovery Center. Sulfur is also recovered here to manufacture both elemental sulfur, sulfuric acid and gypsum.

 

 

With a combination of Secondary Mineral Recovery Facilities, minerals such as gold, silver, molybdenum, sulfur, nickel and lead. The residual matter has an extremely low concentration of these metals, which are then neutralized via biochemistry  remediation processing before sending to the tailings pond.

Ahhhhh, so that's what you needed that dirty water for.

[Raymond7cn 6,776]

At this time, By keep saveing during modeling as a paranoid. The first statue has been done, Maybe more tweaks of lights from front, I could go to make the next one.

Thanks Dreadnought, I get some inspirations from Louvre in google. the most difficult parts to me is that modeling carve patterns and lights. nevertheless, There was still enjoyment with me due to they are all beautiful artworks, and also learning, if you have good advices or suggestions, please feel free to tell me. I will try my best to do it. and I guess some masters or experts here can help me with them as well.  Thank you very much!

After fixed some broken holes of the original statue. I kind of feel that I could do a good job of them, except the Cesar's missing hand, I'm sure It will take me more time. And I'm just aware that I need to change another style fo rails and the lights still on even daytime after I posted these shots. Anyways, I need to work harder due to still 23 statues left.

Best,
