So, this is almost done. I've got one more building to do for this, then I'll upload them.

Also, I liked a lightpole I saw in a previous post that apparently is no longer available, so I made a similar version for my airport lots. I haven't figured out the lightcone effect props yet, however. It's 22 meters high.

Anclaje expands, one funicular and pavilion at a time.

(Anyone knows what texture I might be missing at the upper right corner? It's one of the AMPS transmission stations, and I checked and I've got everything. It might be something to do with the sandstone textures, which are Paeng's and a recent addition).

Help Roger find the shortest route to repaint the statue as quickly as possible.

Turn your computer screen upside down to find the solution.

Just wanted to let you know I finally uploaded this set. It's not entirely finished, but getting from 95% to 100% satisfaction with this set is proving to be very time consuming. Happy to hear your comments!

These are more or less done, although I keep going back and forth on some of the roofs. Any final suggestions before I lot / upload them are appreciated.

New Chicago Project 02 !

Southern loop completed ! Zoned, residential and industrial area´s and civiics. So technicaly I could start the simulation ? There´s still some details to work out and beside the loop there are two subway lines to build and a lot of parks and plaza´s beside several landmarks !

Explored some of the Blam French connection parks, still look for parks with more trees and bushes !

Enjoy !

amazed at how many Chicago bats there are and that you know them all!!

I am working on a DLL that allows building exemplars to add their own budget department(s) into the game.

In this example I modified the Mattb325 Casino to add a Casinos budget department, with a per-building income of §250 and expense of §100. Currently only fixed/constant income and expense values are supported. It may be possible to have variable income/expanses simulated using some kind of algorithm that is run monthly, but I am not sure of that.

YO, GUYS ---

I have run into a problem, and need some help. 

Apparently, I have the old, original, version of the SC4 Plugin Manager -- and it is not designed to convert MODEL files to PROP files.

I used to be able to convert models to props -- but had a recent crash -- and must have lost the correct software for that purpose.

Can anyone tell me what tool will convert models to props -- and provide a download link???

Help would be much appreciated......

Nice try, my friend --

Looked under "Tools" and "Maxis Files".  Maxis files only listed the "PluginMan" file -- and that is the old one I already have.

I'm not sure -- really not sure -- but I think I need something called "PIM-X" to convert models to props.

ok but I do use the old plugin manager to make props  you just need to drag the model all the way to the bottom of the left side menu

Tried it -- got the prohibited "circle with a slash" symbol.

The only three categories in the left hand column are "models", "Descriptors", and "Lots".  No other category options and no buttons or slots.  The model file does not "drop" because there is no place to drop it.

PIM-X does convert models into props with simple dragging.  It's a pain to install to get the right DLL files.  However, here it is:

https://www.sc4evermore.com/index.php/downloads/download/29-modding-and-creation-tools/21-sc4pim

You'll want to install it carefully, following the instructions.  DLLs that are needed can be searched for and downloaded.

@Kel9509

THANK YOU sooooooo much -- !! 

I'm sure I had this installed before my computer crashed -- and must have somehow lost the program. 

I stumbled across this last night -- but I was hoping someone would confirm this as the correct program BEFORE I went to all the trouble of installing it.

It looks like a real "buggar" to get installed -- but I will give it the "old school" try.

I will do my best not to impose upon you -- but I may need some help with the set-up -- and sounds to me like you know what you're doing.

THANK YOU, again -- this has been driving me up the wall......

did you click on the + next to descriptions to open up the menu tree?   if that's not there then your plugin manager is faulty

Here's the latest entry in the industrial scene. I'm calling it the Fall River Mill. For myself, I'll put it on a river or canal with grain barges [loaded and unloaded] and pushboats. I'll also have a rail spur on the opposite side so I can add some grain cars. Currently, it's at about 30% done. I'm also thinking about mirroring the left side instead of cloning it.

New Chicago Project 03 !

Traditional network building ! Completed the loop and the red subwayline. Worked on Grand Central Station LM, added underground tracks and aproach railinfra. Had a curious encounter with the Maddison station; seem not compatible with elevatedrail so tried to demolish it. Unfortunaly still structure where and are visible so tried immortality killer nothing. Fortunaly the ground was cleared so I could plop the elevated pieces to close the loop !

South of the city I have the traditional large freightyuard Chicago is famous of as the central railnetwork hub !

Notice the various 3D angles I use in the last two pictures !

Enjoy !
