Love the castle wall, (is that the PEG one?) and the haven looks great. I'm not sure what witchcraft you used for the roads around the roundabout but I looks super real.

The walls are from Paeng

The roads around the roundabout were tinkered with from NAM textures with the powerful graphics tool MS Paint. Above all, don't look too closely

Has anyone noticed that SIM-ple Jack hasn't posted anything in a while? Is he okay?

 
 

I've been asking myself the same question for several weeks. I hope everything goes well for him.

I've been wanting to mention the same thing:???: I was expecting a lot of pictures with the 3D camera.

I know through the history of this community people have come and gone and come back. Some people have just moved on to other games, others have somehow fallen off the face of the earth. 

I hope he's OK, and if we tag him maybe he will get the notification

It has been mentioned these days in discord that he has been banned for some reason, (I'm not clear which one and it's none of our business either I guess) I'm just writing this to let you know that apparently everything is fine and he should be back in September.

It's taken me three weeks to organically grow these three residential downtown towers but I've done it. Thousands of game years but it's there and people live in them.

I know the painstaking, grueling boredom it is to get the exact buildings to grow. It looks perfect. Did you try the growify cheat? What I usually do when I do this so as not to let the city "pass me by," is I will reload over and over again until i finally get one of the buildings I want, then I save, then I start that process over again for the next one. If I don't get one of the buildings I want to grow within say 2 or 3 sim years, then I reload and try again.

I've been wondering the very same thing -- and I had my suspicions that there was "something afoot".

I just hope he rejoins the flock.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed.  But they produced Michael Angelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and The Renaissance.

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love and five hundred years of peace.  And what did that produce?

The cuckoo clock !

Nah, keep it going. You will learn things and become better day by day. I like the model concept tbh, it will give more variety of shape and colour to the Residential zone. 👍🏻

I haven't dabbled in the 'growify' cheat yet, I'm still finding meaning from the grind of the current process, it makes the end result feel more 'earned' 
I like to leave the game running in the background on my machine while I do other things so I get the slight adrenaline buzz of mystery as to whether my wished for building has grown. A bit like gardening I suppose, plough the fields, wait and see what grows.

I disagree! Keep going, not sure what he real life building looks like but the tiles/shingles seem a bit too large. Making them smaller with some more variety would be a good idea then just trying modelling in a few more details..good stuff

The real buildings have corrugated metal roofs covered in unidentifiable junk (and are also not made from concrete as far as I know; I'm mostly just trying to figure out how to create textures that look sort of like the originals but also blend in with existing SC4 content from Latin America/Asia). I will keep working tho. My sims will work on tea estates and palm oil plantations or my name isn't Winston Churchill.

Still, hard verify everything, the site structure being forum like doesnt navigate verywell with unnecesary windows opening. Some indicidual chinese creator accounts might be of interest but general, it´s dated stuff, access troublesome in time !
