Show me the money!

 

 

I always thought it was the Great Barrier Reef, but when I Wikied it, they said it was the Honey Mushroom. Don't know if I'd want that in map. Maybe Alice in Wonderland.

It's the 420 shrine!

Seriously, there's enough for a million hits there!

Some time ago I was sent some concept art for SC2013 and I said I would make it. Unfortunately I can't find the PM and apologise to whoever sent it to me that it took so long (as it was a very simple building, but just fell off my radar).

But it is now in game

4x4

6x6

 

SC2013 was a miserable failure, it doesn't mean we can't salvage some of it and I commend you sir for plucking the gems from the trash of SC2013!

It's based off of a SC2013 lot? Does that mean the dependencies will be DLC?

About mid-way through another smaller high-rise, this time from C:S. It's a version of the KVB building for SC4

Still a lot to do with the model and textures....

....but everything I'm showing in these threads will get released (I always test them to make sure they grow, etc before I upload them, hence the delay between the images first being posted and their release to STEX/LEX)

I remember a time when a computer game was simply the disc, the manual and the box you purchased.

That changed sometime in the mid 2000s with Steam, first encountered Steam in 2010 when having to install Civ 5 from the disc. Of course once games required Steam and a third party for installation, or direct download from Steam, it meant PC games were technically leased which forms the building blocks of the renting / consumerist model which PC games have sunk too.

DLC was only a logical extension of the business model which changed how game developers operated and thus the games themselves. Even Cities: Skylines fell into that trap and I can honestly say that they should have condensed their expansions into one package- because the community has created a new game with community-built content. DLC is marked up easily 10x to 50x when one considers the time taken to create the core game.

So why not pay for the dependencies as a Simtropolis community-DLC? Could be a good April Fools joke for 2021... Hmm...

I didn't get that at first. I had to refresh my "stonerspeak".

Mega-Loo Farms- proud purveyors of high-quality sewag...er...a...manufactured food products.

Working on my next project. A Claas agricultural dealer that could fit in both American or European cities. I don't expect this to be done until early 2021 or so due to real life stuff but never say never!

Go 4 it, looks cool.

Yeah ---

Those were the "Good Old Days"  !!

Nowadays -- when you "level-up" -- you have to punch in the credit card number to pay for the "kit" involved.

Computer games used to be harmless -- now the "House" owns the operating system -- it's their rules -- and YOUR credit card.

To add to the festive cheer here's an early Christmas present for all lovers of mosaics.

I give you the rare square mosaic!

@pclark06 I still have a lot of work to do.

SimCity 4 

I'm losing hope that one day we can force alpha blending without generating any graphical errors (So far all I have been able to do is force alpha blending on all shadows without generating too many errors).

Exporting these palms and creating the mmps will take longer than I thought so I'll export other BATS in the meantime. Of everything I've published, what do you want me to release first?

 

[Rott 2,398]

Making skylights is really fun

(It's really NOT fun)

You know, there's an extensive set of drunken palms here-

Yo, guys --

I usually publish my "Dockyard" updates on a Friday -- but I will more than likely be much "the worse for wear" due to feasting, drinking and "Merry Making".  And more especially so, since we are fast approaching the end of 2020 -- a very bad year!  (Note to self -- DO NOT REPEAT 2020!!!)

So I take this opportunity to wish "Special Friends" -- Friends -- Acquaintances -- and OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY......

"PEACE ON EARTH -- GOODWILL TOWARD MEN..."

And in the spirit of "Tiny Tim"..."MAY THE GODS BLESS US -- EVERY ONE !"

      MERRY CHRISTMAS     

 

And -- I offer a small present -- another chapter for my CJ......

I will release this today.

Nurses' Monument in game now.  Had to take a break from buildings after the skyscraper.

[junspud 1,069]

Somehow I had no idea this was a thing you could do... considering rather or not to change the textures to include crosswalks also, though I have yet to finish reverting regular T-intersections to include them. Maybe not, for the sake of variety.
